TransportationCommission | 2015-02-25 | 6 | Transportation Commission March 25, 2015 Item #4B Page 6 of 10 Commissioner Bellows asked Sarah Sutton if the rain garden will be irrigated. Sarah Sutton replied the project does not have funds for irrigation, so they chose low water needy plants. Commissioner Bellows mentioned that in the presentation Sarah Sutton said the area was flat, so she wanted to know where the trees fit in the area. Sarah Sutton explained that the placement varies because they do not want to place trees on the bottom in case of heavy rain activity in the future. Commissioner Bellows asked staff if the federal funding could be used for the remediation. Staff Payne replied yes and there was $1.8 million for the project. Staff is not sure how much the remediation will cost. Commissioner Miley wanted to know the total budget for the complete build out. Staff Payne replied right now the cost estimate is for $1.8 million and some elements can be added into the construction document for example the Webster Tower would be an added alternative. Boardmember Burton said that there was not an attached resolution included in the staff report, so wanted clarification on the process. Staff Payne replied that staff would be asking for approval on the preliminary design and there was no need to take it onward, but just to continue the work. Boardmember Knox White asked staff if they would be able to approve how the plazas look exactly or conceptually. Staff Payne replied the design was the ultimate vision. Boardmember Knox White replied so if the whole $1.8 million was adequate to completely build out then approving the design was the final review. Staff Payne replied yes. Commissioner Miley asked staff if she needed a separate action from the Board and the Commission. Staff Payne replied one action since it is a joint meeting. Commissioner Hans said that last time when they voted on this design the schools came to talk | TransportationCommission/2015-02-25.pdf |
