L i Cedar Hills Approves Recreation Center Concept tT7 itV:., IT Architect Jay Taggart explains the concept for the new recreation build-ing for Cedar Hills. Photo courtesy of Harlow Clark by Harlow Clark When the Mayor's Blue Ribbon Committee on Rec-reation was discussing plans for the recreation center at the golf course, they recom-mended space for city offices so the current offices could be used for Public Works. When the city council approved Cur-tis Miner Architects' (CMA) concept drawings October 19, they did so without office space. When asked about putting the city offices in the building, Council Member Ken Kirk said he didn't see any sense in put-ting them there because it was a community events and rec-reation center, not somewhere people would want to go for city business. There was also a practical reason. The more occupants a building has, the more parking it requires. More important, the logical place for offices would be in the basement, but to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) require-ments the city would need to put in an elevator, which would cost $50,000. Architect Jay Taggart ex-plained that if the space in the basement was kept as multi-purpose space, the elevator wouldn't be necessary because the events there could be dupli-cated upstairs, which would sat-isfy ADA access requirements. Introducing Taggart's pre-sentation, Assistant City Man-ager and Planner Greg Robin-son said there would probably not be a second story because of the cost of adding an elevator and the extra costs of building an extra story. There is money for the extra expenses but there is also a sec-ond recreation center planned, which could include an aquatics center in its second phase, and the city wants to make sure to leave enough for that building. Taggart said he could de-sign the roof to support a sec-ond story to be added later, and Mayor Eric Richardson said if so, it would be good to put in the elevator shaft when the building goes up rather than trying for a later retrofit. Council Members Stepha--ni- e Martinez and Marisa Wright suggested a children's library in the basement, with residents donating their old books. Coun-cil Members Scott Jackman and Ken Kirk didn't feel the library would get a lot of use and could be more difficult to fund than it seemed. "If you put in a library, put in an elevator," Taggart said, "because you can't duplicate the use on the main floor." After a long discussion and lots of ideas flying about, Kirk moved to approve the plans as outlined by CMA, and the coun-cil voted aye. Some details, like where to put the elevator shaft, will be worked out as the archi tectural plans and other work progress. The building, fan-shap-to echo the alluvial fan at the mouth of the canyon, will include a pro-sho- p, golf cart storage and other storage, a grill and five multi-purpo- se areas. The largest one can hold 26 round tables designed to seat 10 people, but some-one pointed out that no one seats 10 people around one of them. A wrap-aroun- d deck will have enough space to hold the tables as well. r-- ....... PG City Calendar Wednesday.
