TENNIS FACILITY CONCEPTUAL PLAN
Architect Brian Idle of Peacock + Lewis distributed drawings to the Council and gave a
presentation on the proposed conceptual plan for the Village Tennis Facility. Mr. Idle proposed
a building designed to reflect the Anglo-Caribbean style of the Village Hall, Public Safety
Complex and other Village buildings. Mr. Idle reviewed a conceptual rendering of the facade, as
well as the concept elevation, site plan, and floor plan details.
Mr. Idle introduced Shawn Anderson of Woodward Enterprises, who gave a presentation on the
cold form steel system of building. Discussion ensued regarding possible construction time, if
cold form steel is utilized, and concerns with this type of building method.
Mr. Knight reported that the building contains 1712 square feet of air-conditioned space and
1128 square feet of covered patio space. Mr. Knight noted that the floor plan provides for future
expansion on the west and north sides of the building. Mr. Knight reviewed possible cost
savings measures including eliminating the covered patio on the north side (262 square feet), and
changing the proposed clipped -hip roof design to a standard hip roof. Mr. Knight briefly
discussed slate tile roofing versus metal roofing. Mr. Knight reported that approximately
$350,000 is budgeted for construction. Discussion ensued on cost of construction.
Discussion took place on bathrooms. Mr. Idle noted that there are two and a half bathrooms, and
of the two bathrooms with showers, one is a handicapped suite. It was suggested that one
shower could be eliminated.
Consensus of Council was that bid documents be prepared for a conventional construction design;
however, a cold form steel frame construction system could be submitted as an alternate bid.
Council was in favor of the clipped -hip (gable) style roof. It was requested that the bid
documents reflect a smooth stucco soffit, with outriggers as an option.
ADJOURNMENT
With no further business to come before the Council, the meeting adjourned at 10:25 p.m.
