The building sign was included 3 in the bid for the building. 4 Marks asked how many flagpoles were proposed for the entrance and where they would 5 be located.

Marks 6 also noted there is currently a bus stop for buses traveling north on Silver Lake Road near 7 the entrance of the building and asked that the bus stop be retained. 8 There was Council consensus to address the issue of the ground sign after the building 9 was erected.and the sight line of the building sign could be evaluated. 10 Ms. Hermann then addressed the site plan. She explained an alternative for the southwest 11 corner of the site at 33rd Avenue and Silver Lake Road. This plan would provide more 12 parking for the site and also provide an access for police vehicles to Silver Lake Road. 13 The plan would pull the lower tennis court away from the corner of Silver Lake Road and 14 33rd Avenue and provide the opportunity to landscape in that area. The bandshell would 15 be located to the north of the tennis court and would take advantage of the slope of the 16 hill for seating. She noted the civil engineer has stated that after a week of rain the large 17 swale which is depicted next to the tennis court, will have standing water and cattails may grow in that area. 19 Mr. O'Brien noted the parking spaces north of the tennis courts had been changed to 20 perpendicular to allow for more parking.
