Johnny Helm, <br />the Eagle Scout Candidate has coordinated for the purchase of the plant materials as well as volunteers to <br />conduct the planting. <br />Staff is working with a vendor for the parking lot and grounds lighting updates and anticipates getting a <br />price quote in the next couple of weeks. This project will consist of removing the light ballasts around <br />the sidewalk areas, installing an additional light pole and lights on the exterior of the building, and <br />updating all exterior lights to LED. Staff anticipates quotes to come within budget and work to be <br />completed this summer. <br />Following the March 27 Library Board Meeting, a member of the board asked about the feasibility of <br />installing a pedestrian curb cut in the drop off area near the flagpole. After review of the site, staff <br />determined that adding a pedestrian curb cut in this location would not be feasible. Several utilities pass <br />underneath this location including electrical and irrigation which would require relocation of these <br />utilities. <br />Additionally, the drop off area consists of a 14 foot drive lane; minimum requirements for an ADA <br />accessible loading and unloading area are 8 feet for the vehicle and 8 feet for the parking space access <br />aisle. This would require us to expand the drive lane by either removing a portion of the curb and <br />sidewalk in front of the building or reducing the center circle by a two foot radius. Reconfiguring the <br />curbing and drive lane would result in a sidewalk surface which would not be ADA compliant and <br />reducing the center circle would result in too tight of a turn radius for vehicles around the circle. <br />Currently there are several curb cuts around the building which provide ADA accessible access and routes <br />to the building and drop box locations. <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br />Attachments <br />None <br />NATUREI <br />
