<br />would match the existing lighting in the area. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler stated they would try to find a match as close as possible. <br /> <br />- A question was asked about power to the middle of the proposed roundabout. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler stated that water and electric would be provided to the middle of <br />roundabout. <br /> <br />Mr. Lai stated that a question came up in May about the possibility of leftover <br />money from a grant for the trolley project. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler stated they had a cost estimate but would not know until bids were to <br />come in. <br /> <br />- A question was asked about issues that came up at the May meeting about cars <br />turning into Mike King Drive. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler stated that had been addressed by moving end of trolley line to the <br />east so there was no more impact on that intersection. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler stated there was concern in May about curb material. He stated that <br />curved pieces of granite could be purchased, but the cost is double compared to <br />typical materials. He stated it looked like there would be enough money, but it <br />depended on how bids came in. <br /> <br />Ms. Schmidt reviewed the issues discussed. She stated it seemed like the Commission <br />members were accepting the general layout of the roundabout, accepting the lighting as <br />proposed, and accepting the landscaping as shown with the hope that there would be <br />funds available for possible improvements. She stated that the Commission members <br />recommended that granite curbs be installed. Ms. Schmidt stated that the proposal, as <br />shown, was compatible with existing buildings and structures. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler stated that the outer curb on the roundabout could not be granite because <br />mountable curbs would be required for emergency vehicles, but granite could be used <br />on the interior circle. <br /> <br />Additional questions / comments from the Commission and responses included: <br /> <br />- A question was asked if the interior of the roundabout would be grass/lawn. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler stated as of now it would be low shrubs. <br /> <br />Mr. Lai stated that staff had found an old landscape design study from several years <br />ago, but did not know the status of the study. He stated that it could be emailed to the <br />Commission members for their reference, if they were interested. <br /> <br />Ms. Schmidt stated that whatever was to go in that area would have to come before the <br />Historic Preservation Commission. <br />37 <br />Page of <br /> <br /> <br />
