Planning Commission Meeting Minutes April 9, 2001 Page 3 1 Chair Jindra inquired about the ventilation in the building. Ms. Olivier stated that the doors will 2 be vented, will have a vented window above them, and there will be vents across the back of the 3 building. Ms. Olivier indicated that the glass block could be turned into a smaller band to help 4 with the ventilation. She also said that they would focus on as much natural cross -ventilation as 5 possible. 6 7 Commissioner Zurbey asked if this building would be shut down and drained in the winter. Mr. 8 Hartman indicated that it would be shut down in the winter because it is not heated. 9 10 Chair Jindra asked if the building is designed to be too big. Ms. Olivier indicated that the 11 building could be reduced by about 3 feet, 8 inches, which would be achieved by eliminating the 12 permanent changing tables, and putting in the drop-down style. The Commission agreed that the 13 smaller size is better, and that putting in the drop-down changing tables is worth the financial 14 gain. 15 16 Ms. Skrivseth questioned the location of the path in relation to the building, and stated that the 17 building should not be in the way of the path because it poses a danger to the users. Ms. Olivier 18 stated it had not been determined where exactly the building would be in relation to the path, and 19 expressed her concern of going deeper into the hill, as kids may then have roof accessibility. 20 Commissioner Koehntop stated that the location of the building seems impractical. Commissioner Gebhardt concurred, noting that there really is no good place for the building in 23 this park. The entire Commission agreed and indicated that they were relying on Ms. Olivier and 24 Todd Hubmer for their expertise. 25 26 Mr. Hartman suggested that a group of them re -visit the area to determine the best way to cut 27 back on the size of the building. Ms. Olivier suggested that they eliminate the storage, 28 mechanical and vending sections of the building plan, which would also allow better access to 29 the path. 30 31 Commissioner Zurbey suggested moving the drinking fountains outside, as well as heating the 32 building. Mr. Hartman interjected that they continue working on the existing plan, and then 33 make these changes. Mr. Hartman reminded the Commission that DNR funding is being used for 34 the project. He added that some room will be needed for storage. 35 36 The Commission agreed to set up a time to look at the site, now that the snow has melted. 37 38 Ms. Olivier continued her presentation with the Central Park Pavilion. She indicated that the 39 only change in the plan is in the space for the wading pool equipment. 40 41 Chair Jindra expressed concern over the lack of accessibility to the restrooms from the soccer 42 field, citing the inability for parents to watch their children. Ms. Olivier concluded that changing them on the side of the soccer field would create the same problem on the other side by the picnic pavilion. 45 46 Commissioner Zurbey mentioned the expense of putting in the new pool. He asked if the existing
