l~ i ~ <br />PARK BOARD MEETING <br />February 3, 1971 <br />The meeting was called to order at 8:Oa <br />Board Members Present: Gunderman, Hagemeyer, Sherlock, <br />Weissman and Council Representative Moen <br />Barnhill and Dahl appeared at 8:12 <br />Absent: Smith <br />Others Present: Mayor Bromander, Councilman Fisher, Arthur Dickey <br />of Dickey and Associates, Architects, <br />Robert Wickland, Director of Parks and Recre"ation, <br />and Village residents. <br />The minutes of the meeting of January 6, 1971 were approved as <br />submitted. <br />Hansen Park Shelter <br />A review of the previous discussion on the building was given. <br />Mr. Dickey had submitted-three alternative concepts for discussion <br />at the January 6, 1971 Board meeting. The first alternative, a <br />shelter similar to the present shelter, was not considered suitable <br />because of its small size. The second alternative, a hexagon-shaped <br />structure, and the third alternative, a wedge-shaped structure, were <br />discussed at length (refer to Park Board Minutes of January 6, 1971). <br />A final recommendation was deferred and Mr. Dickey was asked to <br />design a concept integrating the best features of both alternatives. <br />Mr. Dickey presented the fourth alternative, hereafter known as the <br />revised square concept, to the Park Board at this meeting. The <br />building contains approximately 900 square feet or about twice as <br />large as the present shelters. Tt would be constructed of pre- <br />stressed concrete and rough-sawn fir railroad ties for walls with <br />cor-ten steel ornamentation. The motif is similar to the present <br />shelters but the railroad ties lend a more natural look to fit in <br />with the wooded setting. The skylight is flat rather than conical <br />and raised slightly off the roof. <br />Gunderman inquired as to whether the caulking could be dug out as has <br />been done on the existing shelters. Dickey stated that it was <br />planned to fit the cau lking between the joints in such a way that it <br />would be inaccessible. Several members asked about the use of rail- <br />road ties. Dickey replied that the ties would be treated and would <br />be a difficult surface to vandalize. Carving or marking could be <br />easily painted over.. Sherlock mentioned that ties are often used in <br />landscape ornamentation. Gunderman asked about the location of the <br />
