Village Manager Janonis provided an overview of the previous meeting whereby the
Village Board directed the staff to utilize a preferred parking count of 372 spaces and
determine what the revised budget would be with the additional architectural features.
He stated there is a need to get the deck moving in terms of design development and its
integration appearance with the Village Hall. He stated the next Workshop meeting
would focus on the Village Hall details.
Kevin Kemp from DLK Architectural provided a general overview of the site and
highlighted the 30' vertical structural appearance that is carded over from the Library.
He also highlighted the anticipated landscaped areas between the Library and the
Parking Deck. He highlighted the two options that have been drafted for consideration
and highlighted the bdck detailing of each option. He stated that Option A can be built
with the face bdck precast into the concrete panels and is within the budget that was
previously discussed. He stated Option B would be a masonry bdck walt that is
attached to the exterior of the Parking Deck giving it a fuller appearance but is
estimated at approximately $300,000 above the previous Parking Deck budget
estimate.
General discussion of the Village Board members included the overall appearance of
the two options and the need to make sure the Deck is built in such a way that it
conveys a statement about the community. There was also discussion regarding the
critical element of the Deck being utilized for downtown parking.
onsensus of the Village Board was preferred as Option B which is the masonry
brick attached to the precast concrete exterior. The Village Board also reached
consensus on the proposed architectural entrance feature to the Village Hall with
the stair tower from the Parking Deck attached to the main entrance of the Village
Hall. The Village Board also accepted the proposal from the architect regarding
the general appearance of the Village Hall's exterior, however, there was some
discussion regarding the wing that points toward Busse and the need to address
some architectural needs so the wing does not appear to be substantially
different than the main part of the building which hides the Parking Deck.
The meeting adjourned at 8:04 p,m.
Respectfully submitted,
DAVID STRAHL
