.Park Board <br />January 6, ~1 <br />2 <br />The Board then discussed the various alternatives. The factors brought <br />up included efficient use of space, the most economical structure, the <br />aesthetic merits of each type and the flexibility available in the <br />future. <br />Sherlock moved that the Park Board direct Mr. Dickey to continue with <br />the concept of the circular-shaped building and to design a warming <br />shelter as a wedge section of that circle. Dahl seconded the motion. <br />A discussion of the motion followed. It was brought out that adopting <br />this type of structure committed the future expansion of the building <br />to a specific size, shape and location. A free-standing shelter would <br />not commit future expansion in any way. Proponents of the wedge shape <br />stated that it could stand alone as easily as the other and they <br />favored the over-all circular concept. <br />Roll Call Dahl., Hagemeyer, Sherlock, Weissman - aye <br />Barnhill, Smith - Hoye <br />Gunderman -abstained <br />Gunderman requested Hagemeyer to assume the chair. <br />Gunderman stated he was opposed to the action and asked the Board to <br />consider delaying carrying out of the action until more information <br />was available. He expressed concern over the appearance to the <br />general public that the Board was committing itself to the future size, <br />type, and location of a community center before the requisite facts <br />were available. The wedge-shape would appear like .part of a future <br />community center whereas the free-standing shelter would not give <br />such an appearance. Dahl expressed disagreement stating the two did <br />not differ in that respect. <br />Gunderman moved to delay carrying out the previous motion until <br />additional soil borings could be obtained. Motion defeated for lack <br />of a second. Gunderman stated the Board should not proceed with the <br />wedge design until it was known that the soil around the wedge would <br />support the future sections of the circular community center. Dickey <br />explained that it would be possible for him to create a design <br />incorporating the best aspects of both alternatives. <br />Sherlock moved to order the architect to defer proceeding with a wedge <br />shape building until additional information including more soil borings <br />and modification of the proposed designs was presented. <br />Dahl seconded the motion. Motion passed <br />This information is to be presented at the February 3, meeting. <br />
