Parks Commission Meeting Minutes March 12, 2001 Page 4 1 V. PRESENT COST ESTIMATES FOR CENTRAL PARK BUILDING, TOWER PARK 2 RESTROOMS, AND SILVER POINT PARK BUILDING - MOLLY OLVIER - SEH. 3 Molly Oliver reviewed the cost estimates for Central Park, Tower Park restrooms and the Silver 4 Point Park building. She noted she is suggesting two restrooms in Tower Park being handicap 5 accessible and provided with changing stations. 6 7 Ms. Oliver indicated the architecture and style of the structures would be similar throughout all 8 the parks. She added that all restrooms would be stainless steel to withstand the use and abuse 9 the parks would endure. Ms. Oliver reviewed the highlights of the Silver Point Park building 0 with the Commission. 2 Jensen questioned if the proposed building would fit into Silver Point Park. Ms. Oliver indicated 3 700 square feet have been removed from the proposed building and would fit comfortably 4 between the two ballfields. 5 6 Zurbey asked if drainage would be a concern with the location of the building as proposed. Ms. 7 Oliver noted the floor would be raised one foot to accommodate for a heavy spring but a 50 -year 8 or 100 -year storm would heavily impact the structure. She indicated the proposed structure 9 would equalize the effects of water as it passes through the building. Ms. Oliver reviewed the Central Park buildings with the Commission. She noted there would be 2 a concession stand with restrooms and warming house. Ms. Oliver reviewed her renovations to 3 the concession stand area and noted her suggestions could save roughly $67,000 to $70,000. 4 5 Ms. Oliver added that the mezzanine area would be eliminated to reduce the construction costs as 6 well. She noted the restrooms would consist of three stalls in both the men's and women's 7 lavatories. Ms. Oliver indicated the picnic area would allow for seating to observe the 8 neighboring ballfields and pool area. She stated the same architecture and building materials 9 would be used as suggested for the other park buildings. Jindra asked if the air conditioning was absolutely necessary. Ms. Oliver noted she felt this was not absolutely necessary and could be substituted out for ceiling fans and windows for venting. Jindra questioned if the Commission was in favor of offering only a partial concession stand from the warming house. The Commission came to a consensus to approve the removal of the concession stand from the warming house building. Jensen asked if there would be plug ins available on the exterior of the warming house for pitching machines. Mr. Hartman stated this was a good point and noted junction boxes could be added to the exterior of the building for this purpose. Skrivseth questioned if the meeting room would be rented out through community services or through the City. She noted this was up in the air because of the financial gain on the rental fees
