HESSE PARK COMMUNITY - The City Manager reviewed his visit to
BUILDING (1201) this construction site along with the
consultant to determine how much lower
this building should be constructed
in order to avoid view obstruction for the residents of the area.
Voicing their concerns about the building height and the resultant view obstruction
were the following residents of the area: Jacob Rajfer, 6532 Verde Ridge; Ronald
Cooper, 6526 Verde Ridge Road; Sue Winkler, 6520 Verde Ridge; Robin Biggins,
6514 Verde Ridge; Jim Moore, 6810 Locklenna Lane, and Norman Marean, 6508 Verde
Ridge Road.
COUNCIL -2- JUNE 1, 1982
►7
Representing the Parks & Recreation Committee was Chairman Larry Zamos who
agreed that the present location and h fight of the building would cause
view obstruction and recommended that the Council direct the architect
to study this problem.
Representing Reynolds Environmental Group was its president Ernie Reynolds,
who told the Council that the building location had been shifted toward the
center of the park site; this change took place during the latter stages of
design. After:.this change in design, consideration also had to be given to
the location of ramps and handicapped access; with these restraints in mind
and with minimization of view obstruction as much as possible, the building
was set into the contours of the land, with grading to be done around the
retaining walls behind the building. He said that the architect on this
job, Tom Moon & Associates, had built a scale model of the project and
urged people to view that model. He said his company will cooperate with
the City to solve this view obstruction problem.
Also representing the Reynolds Group was Vice President of Planning Paul
Edwards. He said that the building was moved 73 feet away from the homes on
Verde Ridge; in that process the building was less embedded in the earth
so more of it became exposed. He further stated that the problem could be
studied to determine how much it would cost to move the building, however
a good visual analysis would have to be performed before this could be done.
After receipt of the analysis it would take about five days to make such
an estimate.
The architect on this job Tom Moon, said that it might be more appropriate
to work in this building from an 8 ft. depth and if that was economically
prohibitive then perhaps some concessions may be made to raise it a little.
He said it was extremely important to have a view analysis; as far as costs
are concerned there will be costs for grading, reconfiguration of the handi-
capped ramp to the building and drainage would also have to be considered.
Council discussion then followed regarding who would perform the view
analysis -- staff or the Reynolds Group, the criteria-to be used for .this
analysis, and the cost involved in delaying construction on the site.
Mayor Bacharach moved, seconded by Councilman Ryan and carried to direct
staff to do a view analysis and discuss with the Reynolds Group the City's
process for conducting such an analysis.
Councilman Ryan moved, seconded by Councilwoman Hein and carried that the
City Attorney investigate the cancellation liabilities involved so the
City can balance that off against what the cost escalation will be.
Additionally, that the City Attorney give the staff a list of the liability
damages involved so they can estimate the cost of this cancellation.
Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Councilwoman Hein and carried to. have the
Reynolds Group review the view analysis and make specific recommendations
and cost estimates for the impact of the changes necessary to meet the view
criteria. This review to be performed at no cost to the City and to be
done within five working days after receipt of the view analysis.
RECESS At 9:35 P.M. Mayor Bacharach
declared a recess. The meeting
reconvened at 9:50 P.M.
