Discussion was held concerning the rezoning of the S. W. Neighborhood from County
zoning districts to Village zoning districts, and revising the unused Village C-2 zoning
district to allow automobile dealerships. The Council remanded this proposed rezoning
back to the Planning Commission for Public Hearing and another review of permitted

ANCHORAGE PARK RECREATION BLDG. AND OSBORNE PARK CONCESSION
STAND -CONSTRUCTION/DESIGN PLANS
Discussion was held concerning the construction and design plans for the new Recreation
Building at Anchorage Park and the Osborne Park concession stand. Architect Rudy

with the Village Council. Mr. Arsenicos submitted a letter dated March 27, 1997, which
stated several issues that need to be addressed. Mr. Arsenicos told the Council that
,..,, estimates for both projects have been received, and are higher than originally expected.

regarding the sewer line and a depreciated value, and the expense of building it, which
may reduce the cost on this. The force main should be a separate bid item.
Mr. Arsenicos was directed to price a gray cement the roof, instead of asphalt shingle,
and was asked to list the life expectancy of each type of roofing.
In discussion of the concession stand plans, it was the consensus of Council that both
projects should be bid together, as a combination bid would probably be less costly. Mr.
Arsenicos suggested that they be bid as two separate items, Project A and Project B, plus
a combined bid.
Equipment in the concession stand should be deleted, as it is the responsibility of the
YAA to buy it, even though it is maintained by the Village.
Mr. Arsenicos will prepare new plans and new estimates for the next Council workshop.
Due to the large amount of roof structure, another consideration will be to cut off the
~,.,,, outside seating, and save for sometime in the future. This may also be done as an
alternate bid.
Mr. Arsenicos was further directed to give priority to ADA requirements and impact
windows.
Both of these capital projects will be brought back to the next workshop on April 10, 1997.
ADJOURNMENT
With no further business to come before the Council, the meeting adjourned at 10:28 p.m.
