COUNTRY CLUB PAVERS
Mr. Lukasik and Special Projects Director Chuck Huff presented illustrations of the Country
Club Clubhouse project depicting the areas where pavers will be installed. Mr. Huff noted that
the Village had initially planned to remove, clean, and reinstall the current pool deck pavers;
however, due to condition issues, it will be necessary to replace these pavers. Mr. Huff displayed the
current pool deck paver and samples of two other paver options. Mr. Huff reported the pool deck
was not included in Weitz's contract, and estimated the Village's cost at $101,000 for the "amaretto"
pavers and $165,000 for the "shellock" pavers. Regarding the engraved pavers that were installed
around the old clubhouse, Mr. Huff noted these will be reinstalled on the first -level adjacent to the
pool deck, along with blank pavers in the same color (as needed) to complete this area. Discussion
ensued regarding the layout pattern, and installation method. Council consensus was in favor of
purchasing the "shellock" pavers.
CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS FOR SEAWALLS
Consultant Erin Sita, KCI, gave a presentation on seawall construction standards. Mrs. Sita reviewed
the current height, cap, and construction requirements for seawalls, and provided examples of the
condition of existing seawalls. Engineer Alan Gerwig of Alan Gerwig & Associates, Inc.
discussed industry trends and explained the pros and cons of various construction methods.
Discussion took place concerning recommendations including: measuring docks/piers from the
property line; using the property line in lieu of the bulkhead line; evaluating seawall and cap
height requirements in conjunction with compatibility to existing structures and mitigation of
flood impacts; allowing a one-time replacement of existing seawalls 18 inches waterward from
existing seawall wet face; allowing for a variance/waiver process for building materials; and
modifying the fill permit process. Councilmembers generally agreed that 18 inches waterward of
the seawall would be okay; however, staff was requested to provide drawings and documentation
depicting the impact if this change was made. Discussion ensued regarding fencing materials
and opacity, as well as materials and height of fence fans.
ADJOURNMENT
With no further business to come before the Council, the meeting adjourned at 9:48 p.m.
