4. Review and Recommendation on Bandshell Addition

Schrader stated that after talking to Tom Brown, he thought that it would be important for the Commission to look at several drafts Tom has prepared, to see if this is the direction you want Tom to proceed.

Brown explained that the current Bandshell is a compound structure with all of it’s angles, that he was hoping that the addition could tie into the existing lines. His Concept 1 was a very simple design with straight lines. Concept 2 had walls that mirrored the existing structure, a slight angle not vertical. Concept 3 has the walls slightly angled and the roof split in the middle angling to the edge like the existing roof line. After reviewing the Concepts, Brown questioned as to how he should proceed.

The Commission agreed that Concept 3 was the way to proceed, in that it tied into the existing structure the best. All felt that we need to do what we can to make sure that the finished product looks good. That if it costs a little more we should pay the extra money and do it so it looks good. Several Commissioners were concerned about long term maintenance of the addition and current structure.

Brown thought that we could try a custom metal standing seam roof product for the sides. By doing so, we could eliminate a lot of water problems, but it comes with a price. Brown said this type of material would be a lot more than T-1-11 siding.

Phillips was concerned about the two different roof lines and the potential build up of water between the two, thus causing leaks. He wondered if one roof line over the entire structure is possible.

Brown thought that he could design the structure in a way that we wouldn’t have to worry about leaks.

Freckmann liked the looks of Concept 3, and hoped that we would do whatever it takes to make the structure look good. Even if we had to spend more funds.

Somers and Curtis agreed with Freckmann, that this is a high profile structure in the community and it needs to look good.

Motion was made by Freckmann, seconded by Glodosky to have Brown proceed with drafting plans as proposed in Concept 3. Have him further study different ways to incorporate the two roof lines together, to help eliminate future maintenance problems.

Ayes; all, Nays; none. Motion carried.
