Minutes Meeting of July 20, 1983 Page 2 Board members asked how much of the area from water edge to building would be sand and how much grass. Certainly there will be a grassy slope adjacent to the building. How far that will go is as yet undecided. Simons is exploring maintenance costs of the. two. Schultz expressed concern regarding t+he design of the parking lot, which requires walking across traffic lanes. Singer-said a lane for bus parking,. drop off of handicapped persons, etc., planned immediately to the back of the building, is important. Other designs will be'explored and cost estimates made. Schultz asked who had the responsibility for landscape design, and Simons: responded that he would have this. responsibility. Ash, white oak, evergreens as well as other shade. trees would be used. Median plantings in the parking lot are anticipated, using materials which would not jeopardize necessary visibility. The board encouraged a thoughtful, aesthetic, unobtrusive .landscape plan. The question was raised about the ability of the concept plan to be adapted to expansion in future years. Schultz indicated that such expansion would be unlikely. Anderson suggested the building overhang be extended around. the entire • building, to improve aesthetics and increase building shade. The design currently shows overhang along east, north, and one-half of-the west sides.. This suggestion 'had support from other board members. McGuire said he would make cost estimates far that change. In response to questions about drainage, Simons said the surface run off will drain toward the beach. Water will be caught and routed underground back to the natural marsh area east of the Refectory Building. 5. Motion by Knuth, seconded by Dahl, that the board support the refectory concept, building location, natural terrain, and built-in concern for visual impact on the lake residents. 5 yes, 0 no. 6. Simons informed the board of current County activities required before pazk development begins. Permits haue been applied for to: reroute the entrance through the Rush Lake/marsh area (planned for completion by winter; the road will not be paved); remove trees from the beach (fall); spread the beach sand blanket (winter); grade and prepare the site to receive the road. The Watershed District has been contacted for their approval of plans for storm water management. The railroad has been contacted regarding easements for sewer, water and fencing, .planned for the top of the rise approximately 12 feet from the center of the track. Negotiations are being carried on with Williams Pipeline regarding rerouting of their line which currently detours from the railroad right. of way, extending through the proposed parking lot by the beach.. The current line is too close to the surface to allow for the required site work.
