South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—July 26, 2011 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> C. South Bend Central Development Area <br /> (4) continued... <br /> lighting will be put in, only enough to give <br /> the area a warm glow. <br /> Mr. Downes asked how easy the wind <br /> screens are to put up and take down. Mr. <br /> Lamie explained that there will be permanent <br /> sleeves built into the concrete, of a mesh <br /> fabric similar to that used in the existing tent. <br /> They would be no more than six to seven feet <br /> in height. Something very simple that can be <br /> put up or taken down easily. If an event <br /> requires more privacy, there are other <br /> materials that could be used to create some <br /> visual screens. <br /> Ms. Spivey asked about the public <br /> accessibility to the area. Mr. Lamie <br /> responded that he's not the person to address <br /> the security of the space. During the day the <br /> gates are open for public access. Entry and <br /> exit through the building itself is not <br /> necessary. There are paved pathways and a <br /> bridge that provide public access. When <br /> there is an event on the island, the bridge can <br /> be blocked off. <br /> Ms. King asked if any of the materials will <br /> require painting or regular maintenance. Mr. <br /> Lamie responded that that is not expected. <br /> The anchoring units are all stainless steel. <br /> The four upright columns will all be painted <br /> and painted a special totemic product that has <br /> a warranty for chipping etc. There should be <br /> no regular maintenance on the posts, other <br /> than checking them for any damage. <br /> 12 <br />
