Contacts <br /> are: <br /> Facilities — Larry Morris, x2742 <br /> POS — Rob Hallett, x4935 <br /> CSD — Mark Loigman, x5307 <br /> The Design Charrette sub - committee, Carolyn, Meredith, and Karm, will reconvene in order to confirm a date <br /> projected to be sometime in May, so that staff can get it on their calendars. <br /> Mark thanked the committee for all of the time, creative ideas, and thoughtful planning that have gone into the <br /> five sessions and said that it was his hope that this group would be willing to serve as a resource in the future <br /> as Cuthbert Amphitheater becomes integrated into Alton Baker Park. <br /> Issues list generated from a Cuthbert "walk- through" <br /> 1. Relocate Pre's Trail to the south and expand fence out to new trail in order to expand backstage parking <br /> area ST — POS /Carolyn <br /> Carolyn will start the process as soon as possible; plan where the trail will be; check in with involved <br /> track clubs; develop a "phasing plan;" identify funding for relocation, including new lighting; establish <br /> time line. <br /> 2. Improve waterway fencing. Research "reel- type" barriers similar to the ones used at swimming pools <br /> ST — FAC/Meredith <br /> Any reel -type fencing found, so far, has been too small and could easily be lifted up so that a boater <br /> could paddle under. After much discussion about how to block the waterway from backstage access, it <br /> was suggested that two "tree falls" be installed at each end of the waterway. ST — POS /Carolyn <br /> Other ideas included: a floating dock with fencing LT <br /> bright lights aimed at the island to discourage onlookers. ST — CSD /Mark <br /> Johnny suggested that the park rules could include closing the area if CSD security acted as the <br /> enforcer. He and Mark will continue that discussion. <br /> 3. Backstage <br /> • Fill in waterway to gain space "Mitigation fees" are $50,000 /acre. LT <br /> • Improve access by adding pervious, permanent surface <br /> Investigate environmental impact ST — POS /Carolyn <br /> After much discussion, decision was made to wait until the Design Charrette happens to see <br /> what ideas are generated about the entire backstage area. <br /> • Move stage forward to increase stage size and backstage area ST — CSD/Mark <br />
