'ity of <br /> <br />ITEH 6.7. <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Phil Hals, Street/Park Superintendent <br /> <br />July 8, 1996 <br /> <br />Downtown Gazebo <br /> <br />The downtown Riverfront Committee recently approached city staff <br />regarding the construction or reconstruction of a gazebo in the Jackson <br />Square parking lot. The committee's suggestion was to put a small gazebo in <br />the square, near the intersection of Main Street and Jackson Ave. The <br />building would occupy the green area adjacent to the sidewalk, plus, one <br />parking stall to the north. This would serve at a "point of interest" for people <br />visiting downtown. <br /> <br />A building size of 12 feet was discussed. My concerns are as follows: <br /> <br />· Will the location of this building inhibit sight lines for the Jackson/Main <br /> intersection? <br />· What will be the major use for the building? <br />· Who will maintain the building? <br />· Is there a need for spectator room around the building? <br />· Is there a need for electrical service? <br />· The installation will involve removal and replacement of 30- 50 lineal feet <br /> of curb and gutter. <br />· How will this gazebo be funded? <br /> <br />I am not offering a staff recommendation, pro or con, but I suggest that the <br />City Council consider these issues as this proposal moves ahead. <br /> <br />s:\council\gazebo.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
