CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of April 1, 2019 —Joint Workshop Page 3 of 7 quickly. Ms. Hudgens advised that for restroom facilities there would be men's and women's facilities with a baby changing station in the rooms, but no family restroom. No one else came forward. Discussion: Discussion ensued amongst the City Commissioners, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members, the consultants and staff regarding the various proposed elements of the park, including: materials which would be used for the buildings, roofs and wood components; use of materials from any trees which had to be removed for the project; pathway lighting and illumination of the building fagade; safety features for the windows, such as shatter protection to protect from downed tree limbs during storms and UV light protection to protect the artwork from heat and glare; energy efficiency; ability to open up the bay areas to allow air and natural light; maintenance needs for the perforated walkway covers and materials that will be used; maintenance concerns for the wood features; accessibility; parking; opportunity for future expansion of the building; use of composite materials to extend the life of the structure; possibility of adding a water feature/fountain in Quail Pond to add another visual upon entering the facility; and parking and pedestrian access. Each of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Members and the City Commissioners expressed approval of the concept and design overall, but made some suggestions for additional improvements such as adding a fountain in quail pond; researching possible coverings for the perforated walkway for protection during inclement weather; possibly extending a roof or partial covering over the deck area of the new structure to provide additional protection from weather conditions during events; and the possibility of adding a mural to the new structure, changing part of the facade of the existing building or adding a metal roof to further tie the two structures together.
