Review and approval of 60% design Mandi said with the plans she feels this design is more than 60 %. She said specifically she needs everyone to look at the restrooms as far as color and material (interior and exterior). Mandi said that one idea is to add a mural in between to break up the concrete. She said they've added ice block to bring in more light in the building and outdoor showers. The restrooms fit underneath the promenade. It is a lot more open for visibility. Mandi said there will be security cameras mounted underneath the eve of the restrooms. Rick feels that the cameras need to be out more from the building within a 30 foot radius about 15 feet from the building so that the cameras can get a broader view. City of McCall Urban Renewal Agency Minutes 2/27/07 Lindley said that separate from this discussion, security and details needs to be worked out. Mandi said that tile is an option for the inside of the restrooms versus an epoxy surface. The floor will be stained concrete. Various ways to heat the restrooms was discussed. Rick Fereday asked if it was possible to add boulders on either side for a climbing wall. Mandi said that the Urban Renewal board will have one week to look everything over and give input. She would like comments emailed directly to her at: mandi.roberts(o-)otak.com by the close of business on March 6th Mandi said that she met with Robin Gerblick yesterday and that the 12 -13 feet area in front of the marina will be maintained. Site plans were discussed. Mandi discussed Wayfinding Signage locations. This will be implemented after construction is finished. Input on signage would be helpful as well. The spray play area has been relocated due to maintainability. This will be a near the grass instead of down at the sand near the beach and will be a concrete area with jets on timers. Mandi said that she is going to have to discuss the volleyball court with Brock and Monika. Mandi said she and Fred Drake have been discussing pavers. There are many choices of pavers. One choice would be concrete pavers instead of brick pavers. The stability of these would be much more durable as far as snow plows, etc. They would like to match the pavers on the street and the promenade. Mandi feels that they should get together again with Hotel McCall next week. Mandi discussed items that are still in progress such as pavement detailing, planting design in the park and adjacent to boardwalk, shoreline restoration, utility connections, and street light locations. Mandi discussed proposed bid alternates i.e. removal of concrete piers, swimming dock reconstruction in Legacy Park, pavement material options and the amphitheater. Mandi said 90% is due the week of April 2nd. She said that she will send out the plans ahead of time and call for a meeting earlier in April to go over this.
