Main Street Patios On January 17, 2013 staff distributed the attached conceptual design packet to the D anticipation of a meeting on Thursday, January 24, 2013, which w distribution we received some early comments from members who wo attend. Their comments were as follows: The decks need to be 9 deep, not 8. We discussed this at the Council meeting, and thought everyone agreed, but it is not drafted that way No way will there be room for planters inside the patios, especily 8 deep, plus having the planters outside softens their appearancean effect that is lost or reduced by placing planters inside the decks I see no water or electrical hookups or plans for thoseagain, we thought this was promised by Council. The proposed design with the Louisville logo just doesnt fit. They like the top elevation shown on the conceptual design sheet At the Thursday morning meeting 3 members of the DBA were in att Judy Goodson and Jim Tienken. They reiterated the above concern patios were never going to be 9 foot deep. Staff explained the and the new decks are going to be 8 feet deep which gives 2 addi to hear that and apologized for the misinterpretation. The rema of their comments were as follows: They like the simplicity of the elevation shown at the top of th Changes to above design: They want IPE handrails and metal end posts with IPE caps. They want hanging platforms designed to allow for the placement of their ex terracotta planters off the sides of the patio railings. Sean prepared a sketch (attached) of what they were thinking of for the City Council packet. They open to the air to allow for airflow which allows the flowers to grow
