4 NEXT STEPS (OUTLINED BY THE CONSULTANT) <br />At the time of presentation of the concept plan, the consultant outlined the following next steps in <br />development of the park. <br />"Master planning for the proposed improvements was the first step in making the <br />public's ideas become reality. This level of design sets the purpose, goals and general <br />guidelines for the project. As funding becomes available to proceed with part or all of <br />the improvements, design refinements will be required. The process of design is <br />intended to raise and answer questions in a logical manner. Working from the broad <br />concepts framed by the Master Plan to the detail of construction documents, each step <br />is intended to give affected parties the information required to proceed or revise the <br />design. In order of refinement, the following are the normal steps taken toward realizing <br />the proposed improvements of any given project: <br />Schematic Desien: <br />This portion of the design process is intended to give the owner and others more <br />detailed plans and sketches and cost estimates to allow for informed decisions <br />regarding space requirements, proportions, and appearance and cost alternatives. <br />Design Development: <br />This step is a further refinement of drawings and estimates of cost. Issues concerning <br />project systems should be explored along with material choices and construction <br />techniques. These alternatives and their probable cost/benefit must be investigated to <br />insure a design that will be in compliance with available funding and provide a project <br />that is maintainable. The owner and consultant should review the design development <br />documents with affected agency reviewers to receive guidance on the projects potential <br />approval, the approval process and the likely time required in formal agency. <br />Construction Documents and Agency Review & Approvals: <br />These documents are prepared for cost effective bidding or negotiation of the project <br />construction and will form a part of any contract with a contractor. All systems, <br />materials and dimensions must be described and accurately depicted to give contractors <br />guidance as to the final project requirements. In addition to construction documents <br />being used for construction they also are the final documents used in any agency <br />approval process. Potential agency/ permit reviews may include the following: city <br />grading, city building, city water connection, etc." <br />Lions Park Planning September 11, 2013 <br />
