<br /> <br />-How was the spacing of the alternate curb decided and could it be made closer? Mr. Wilson <br />stated that if it were six feet, a car could drive in and park, but it could be made closer, such <br />as three feet. <br /> <br />-Commission members stated that the paved area should probably be landscaped instead, or <br />perhaps grass. <br /> <br />-Concern expressed about where the curb begins and it does not transition into the existing <br />curb and curbing to the west. Mr. Wilson stated that there would be paint striping instead of <br />curbing to the west. <br /> <br />-Concern expressed about introducing new material and zone into Civic Plaza and that at <br />previous meetings, greenery was mentioned as being important. Aesthetically it would be <br />the best option. Mr. Wilson stated that greenery was also his preference a second curb with <br />the area between filled with grass or landscaping. <br /> <br />-It was stated that greenery would provide a better foreground for the buildings. <br /> <br />-A question was asked about west side as well as east for adding the green space. Mr. Wilson <br />confirmed it would be included all around the plaza. It would then have symmetry and <br />greenery, plants or grass, but either would be better than pavement. <br /> <br />Mr. Wilson asked if there could be a vote tonight. <br /> <br />Mr. Greatens stated that the item was on the agenda as informational only with no vote requested. He <br />stated that the changes were only minor adjustments and would not necessarily impact previous <br />approvals. <br /> <br /> <br />-Commission members stated that this was a core change from what was previously discussed <br />and would be concerned about going down that path procedurally when this was a <br />substantive change and a vote would not be appropriate since this was an informational item. <br />Concern about setting a bad precedent procedurally. <br /> <br />-It was suggested that the Commission members could make a recommendation, not <br />necessarily a vote on the item, but a recommendation as to what the Commission members <br />would like to see at a future meeting. <br /> <br />-Commission members expressed support for the revised design of the roundabout that was <br />symmetrical, including changes to the curbing, and recommended that a landscaped area be <br />provided in between the curbs instead of pavers and this area could be grass or groundcover, <br />and that the new curbs should transition into the existing curbs. <br /> <br />4.b.
