PROPOSED EAGLE PROJET AT ARENA ACRES PARK: Rick told members that Mr. Hunter Hallstrom approached the city to consider the placement of a "pergola" type structure at Arena Acres Park for his Eagle Scout Project. Included in Mr. Hallstrom's proposal (attached 5 -1 to 5 -7) is an aerial shot of the proposed site, materials required, and schematic views from the top, side and front. Mr. DeGardner gave the Board background of Arena Acres Park (519 Andall Street). He said it is a one acre park consisting of two tennis courts, basketball court, and small playground structure (attached 5 -9). This park has not been master planned. The proposed project consists of using green treated wood. This simple design consists of placing 6x8 boards spaced 1' across (attached 5 -4). Rick said we need to be sure the end product is visually appealing and well constructed. He said perhaps Mr. Hallstrom can consider designing a more visually appealing project such as the example attached (5 -10). Rick said that since the city is ultimately responsible for the end result we need to make sure that this project will fit our standards from an aesthetic, on -going maintenance, and liability stand point. Staff Recommendations • Concrete slab extends one foot beyond all edges of the pergola. • Cedar wood used instead of green treated. • Consider more visually appealing design for pergola. • Have Inspections Department review construction drawings. Rick told the Park Board that the actual location can be determined on site with Mr. Hallstrom. He added that this project will necessitate the removal of some brush which staff can take care of. Staff can also take care of the concrete work, realigning the playground border, and installing additional fibar (safety surface). He said that perhaps the Park Board can consider dedicating some funds to help cover any increased costs
