6. Discussion Only: Concepts and design for the new downtown area.

 

Staff informed the Boards that I met with our engineering team, Parkhill, last month at their office in Abilene where we discussed many things for the new downtown area, including: style of buildings, how many buildings, how many tenants, materials, colors, parking, cost, and features. Staff explained that we have received two different layouts with the exact same features, but arranged in different ways. Staff asked the Boards which layout they liked better and collectively the Boards felt Concept A was better suited for a downtown area. The Boards also asked that the water feature/splash pad be removed to add more parking, and that the restaurant space be added to the office/retail building. Staff will work with the engineering team to make these changes. No action was taken on this item.
