PublicArtCommission | 2007-11-29 | 7 | Mr. Vu started by saying that this item was in response to Ms. Huston's request for more information on how the amphitheater was constructed. Ms. Huston asked if there had been any performances there. Mr. Vu brought out the list of three performances and one painting event from the developer that have occurred between March 2006 and March 2007. Ms. Huston brought up that she had called some vendors asking about the performance space and no one knew about it. Mr. Wolfe asked about the advertisement of the performances. Ms. Rosenberg asked if the developer was supposed to bring a list of events to the commission so that the commission could see that there was a set level of performances. Mr. Vu referred to the Resolution and condition two that stated that the developer would submit a schedule of performances for the first year to the satisfaction of the Planning & Building Director. The commission questioned the submittal of the schedule to the Director. They thought that the developer would submit the schedule to the commission, and then they would forward it to the Director. Ms. Huston clarified that this was an amended application and that it required 12 performances on the same day and time. She wanted to listen back to the tapes to see which amendments they actually agreed upon. Ms. Rosenberg wanted it brought back to the commission so they could approve the programming. Ms. Huston said that the amended programming requirement was designed to build the grass roots performances. Ms. Lee stated that it was to be evaluated after the first year by the commission. Ms. Huston requested staff listen to the tapes and write down the amendments to see if they have been fulfilled. Ms. Rosenberg feels that the amphitheater is so poorly planned and the level of the turf is not good. She said that there is no feel of a performance space and questioned who approved it. Mr. Wolfe said that one of the mistakes he made was not asking if it could be elevated slightly. He suggested that if the grades were elevated slightly, it would be a more usable space. Ms. Huston feels that there are a number of issues. One of the issues is that she feels that it turned out to be what they feared, which is a landscaping plan that is barely amended. She wants to try to hold the developer to the agreed amendments in the Bridgeside project proposal. Ms. Lee felt that they were shaky about approving performances fulfilling the art requirement in the first place. 7 | PublicArtCommission/2007-11-29.pdf |
