The cost estimate for the pavilion was presented totaling $2.8 M. <br />The park site plan included: on -street and off-street parking, an inclusive playground, court area, relocation <br />of the skate park equipment, informal ballfield, connectivity to the Hardwood Creek Regional Trail, multiple <br />seating areas, landscaping, and internal and perimeter trails and sidewalks. <br />Clarke asked about the skate park and stated that he didn't want to lose that feature. Amberg discussed the <br />area it was relocated to. Rauschendorfer asked about hiding the skate park because of activities that might <br />happen at it and the berm. Amberg discussed that the berm will buffer the nearby homes. Schmid stated <br />that it made no sense to buffer City Hall and the ones that want to see it. Denaway discussed that as the <br />street improvement project has progressed, 147t" Street will have more traffic now that it will be a through <br />street and provide continuous oversite of the skate park versus just people coming and going from City Hall. <br />Rauschendorfer asked why a future water feature was shown on the north side of the building when the <br />Council wasn't interested in one. Amberg shared that the Council discussed a plaza type water feature so we <br />didn't want to take away the opportunity for the Council to decide that in the future. Rauschendorfer asked if <br />a fountain would utilize as much water as a splash pad. Amberg informed that they can use very little if it is a <br />recirculating system. Denaway informed that because the splash pad was such a big part of the master plan, <br />it wasn't removed as a future consideration, but that the Council isn't interested in constructing it now due to <br />their water conservation and budget goals. The option wasn't taken away to discuss it in the future. <br />Amberg presented a detailed cost estimate totaling $4.24 M. Alternates including the sports courts and <br />pedestrian lighting totaled $560,000. <br />Rauschendorfer asked about the trail on the north side of the park and undergrounding power lines. Amberg <br />updated that there is a meeting schedule to discuss utilities but decisions haven't been made yet. <br />Moore-Arcand discussed the playground and that she was excited about the embankment which will visually <br />pull kids in and elevate the playground design. <br />Strub recapped that the designers followed through on everything suggested by the committee. With the <br />pavilion, they brought in a few designs, and the committee went with a prairie style with modifications to <br />warm it up. It will be a signature building and the rest of the park sounds good. <br />Moore-Arcand Made a motion, Clarke seconded to approve the received plans and cost estimate for the <br />Lions Park design to be reviewed by Hugo City Council. <br />Ayes: Cathy Moore-Arcand, Roger Clarke, Mat Rauschendorfer, Nicole Schmid, Dave Strub, Ranell Tennyson <br />Denaway updated on the next steps. <br />Strub made a motion, Tennyson seconded to send construction document proposals to the Council and <br />authorize drafting of construction documents. <br />Ayes: Cathy Moore-Arcand, Roger Clarke, Mat Rauschendorfer, Nicole Schmid, Dave Strub, Ranell Tennyson <br />Strub requested City staff update cost estimate information as it is received on the Lions Park Design. <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />Parks Commission Minutes <br />January 20, 2021 <br />
