Although some may argue that an aluminum fence looks nicer than a chain link fence, <br />for reasons other than price it was determined that the chain link fence would be a better option. <br />Chain link fencing has smaller openings between regions of the fence,making it less likely for <br />children to try to reach through the fence or get a hand or arm stuck trying to squeeze through <br />the fence and get out into the road.Other properties in South Bend have used this fencing for <br />playground areas,including the Madison School playground in the City of South Bend.As <br />shown below in Figure 12,the play area is enclosed with black chain link,the same proposed <br />fencing material for this property. <br />Figure 12.Madison School Play Area Fencing <br />Therefore,both for safety and budgetary reasons,a black chain link fence is planned to <br />be installed around the perimeter of the property. <br />Stone Benches <br />ZStone Creations has offered to provide up to four stone benches for the play area.An <br />example of what these benches may look like can be seen below in Figure 13.Each bench will <br />be approximately 4’L X 2’W X 2’H,demonstrated below in Figure 14.The benches will be <br />secured on-site by ZStone with cement under each supporting pillar.Three benches will be <br />located along the Pierce Street fence line and the fourth will be located opposite the other three <br />along the shared property line with 711 Leland Avenue,demonstrated in Figure 15.
