The building,. 3600 square feet in size, is to be located away from the beach, abutting the parking area, and well landscaped with trees and shrubs in response to concerns " expressed by lake$hore residents. The back of the building will. be 240 feet from water's edge. Design of the building separates beach and non-beach use by a pass-through lobby area, covered by a pyramid roof with large skylight. The roof will be cedar shingle, with the inside of timber fill. The design enables natural light, efficient winter use, and the capability of controlling access to the beach should user fees be adopted. The building is fronted by patio area, providing picnic facilities and some shade. Concessions and dressing rooms will be accessed from outside,. with rental locker space and drinking fountains available.- Handicapped parking and trail access to the beach area are provided. There will be provision for bicycle parking along the north side of the building, and adequate access for emergency, beach maintenance and. delivery vehicles is planned. The guard. room is located in the southwest corner of the building.. Large storage rooms are a part of the concept design. Fencing is anticipated, from the northwest and southeast corners of the building diagonally to the wader edge. Picnic facilities will be available inside as well as outside the fenced-area, on the grassy slope toward .the beach. Little modification of the terrain between the building and the water edge will be required. 4. Discussion questions were addressed by Singer, McGuire and Simons. Simons noted that the Master Plan had indicated a need to cut back into the shoreline in order to provide required slope into the water. However, this will not be necessary. A sand blanket will be laid along the 450 feet of shoreline to a depth of 5 feet. Material will be available from on site or private supplier sand and gravel (at approximately $5,000 for 700 yards). Knuth asked about .using sediment from the north end of the lake, but Simons responded it was too fine.
