Parks & Public Landscaping Advisory Board Minutes July 10, 2024 Page 8 of 8 Cynthia Corne recommends a smaller plaza, not 12', move to the north, will that impact neighbors concern about noise and privacy? A 6' plaza, surprised to see it in the center. In its current form it needs to be removed, could also relocate or make it smaller so it doesn't impede anyone's privacy. Can staff and designers please look at moving or repositioning the plaza from the middle of the open space? Neighbor Laura Scherer: Plan has only been available to review for one week, need some more time to consider this plan. Bryon indicated that not much grading will occur. A bit of a sunk cost fallacy because we are so far down the road. Bryon Weber: The grading which Laura Scherer commented on, I was referring only to the Northern portion needing to be graded. Draft PPLAB statement 2 - approved Consensus: Contingent approval of the 90% design. Plaza as currently proposed is not recommended, explore an alternate location or smaller, if it cannot be relocated or made smaller, the plaza should be removed, the sunflower motif repurposed and irrigation plan should be updated to include irrigation of the entire play area. Revisit the plant list at 100% review, recommended removal of Weigela and Miss Kim lilac We would like to see full turf replacement be considered either by project budget or Ops budget. Please consider low water turf. VII. Finance — Parks 25-26 budget update- Deferred until August meetings VIII. Board Reports - none IX. Staff Updates - see staff report in budget X.
