<br />Currently, the existing shelter has a gable style roof, approximately 20 ft. x 24 ft. (480 sqft), sits <br />on a concrete pad, and is able to accommodate four picnic tables. During non-pandemic times, <br />this shelter is often rented on the weekends and even on some weekdays throughout the rental <br />season. This season, due to the pandemic shelter rentals have been very low due to restrictions <br />of group sizes the City can rent to, but staff is seeing that the shelter is still getting used a lot with <br />small groups. <br /> <br />Staff recommends the new shelter be large enough to accommodate six picnic tables, installed on <br />a new concrete pad that would incorporate the existing hand-pump well (incorporating the <br />existing well would help eliminate muddy conditions around the hand-pump well during times of <br />heavy use), has electricity and lighting, has a wood soffit (to minimize noise), and offers an <br />enhanced look. <br /> <br />Attached are the shelter styles that fit within those parameters. <br /> <br /> Size Square Feet Est.

Staff <br />recommends the Commission move forward with one of the mid-level/enhanced options. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />• Little Canada Spooner Park Lower Shelter Alternatives <br />
