Mr. Fairchild, architect for the drawing, explained that the gazebo
would be an octagon and would fit into a 24 foot diameter circle.
It would be 24 inches above the ground with rock skirting. The
materials to be used would be low maintenance materials such as
oiled cedar siding. A lengthy discussion followed on the basic
design of the structure. It was the general concensus of the
Committee that the gazebo should be compatible with the Urban
Redevelopment designs as proposed by EDAW and Carl Worthington
Partnership. Mr. Fairchild agreed to review the Worthington
drawings and adopt a design that would be compatible with the
other designs being proposed for the Town. The Committee

Works Director Widmer.

The Committee recommends that Mr. Shay be invited to attend a
Public Works Committee meeting, at his convenience, to discuss
further the feasibility of pursuing this project.
REPORTS:
The removal of the Peacock Building has begun. The wall next to
Kings's Casuals is being cautiously removed as the King's Casusal
building wall is immediately adiacent. The owner of the building
has indicated that she feels the Town has some responsibility for
her wall. She has been advised that the staff feels the Town is
not responsible for her property.
Director Widmer stated that the private bridge project is progressing
very well. The only decking which needs to be done is the James
McIntyre bridge. The span had to be shortened when they ran into
a problem with the water line crossing. The abutment has been
placed inside the old abutment. There have been some small change
orders but overall the project is progressing well.
Old Ranger Drive bridge has been opened up. Fall River Lane bridge
is still under construction.
The weather has been a problem in the realignment of Virginia
Drive/ Elkhorn Avenue/East Riverside Drive, which will change the
completion date of the nro-iect. The Town would like the contractor
to do the parking lot on the west end of Elkhorn Avenue which will
require a change order.
There being no further business, the meetina adjourned.
