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 /> Ms. King expressed concern that the original <br /> sketch from 2009 showed a railing around <br /> the top of the Island Park. They do not <br /> appear to be in the drawings provided to the <br /> Commissioners. That is a very low wall and <br /> sometimes alcohol is served on the island. <br /> Will there be a wall? <br /> Ms. Doshi, Chair of the Building and <br /> Grounds Committee for the Century Center <br /> Board of Managers, responded that she's not <br /> aware that a railing has ever been <br /> contemplated. <br /> Mr. Herczeg said there has never been an <br /> accident on the island. They've had to <br /> remove kids from playing there, and they had <br /> one adult person intentionally jump. <br /> Mr. Lamie said ADG did investigate whether <br /> a railing was required. The Building <br /> Department said that the island without a rail <br /> was grandfathered into the current <br /> requirements. <br /> Ms. King said that the more attractive the <br /> city makes the island, the more people will <br /> use it. She would like to see safety concerns <br /> addressed. <br /> Mr. Alford questioned whether weddings, <br /> luncheons and other events requiring good <br /> weather would be discouraged from using the <br /> island with this pavilion. Ms. Doshi <br /> responded that when those types of events <br /> are scheduled for the island, the Great Hall is <br /> 13 <br />
