Committee Questions, Comments, Cocncerns

  • Will the individual vendors be responsible for bringing their own tables/tents etc.?  Where will it be stored?
  • Concerned that the fence is too close to the sidewalk and needs more buffer than the gravel.
  • Suggestion to leave the fence post and repaint, leave the appropriate landscape strip on E. 185th, build fence more interior to the site behind the landscaping.
  • Where is the gravel strip?  How will the gravel be installed?
  • Can the existing poles be re-used for the fencing?
  • How will the proposed fence be installed and supported?  Per presenter they will be using U-bolts and attaching them to the existing poles.
  • What is the stain color?
  • Consider using slats that are less than 10" tall.
  • Would not suggest re-using the crooked posts for the proposed fencing.
  • Suggestion to leave the poles, digs out the concrete to install landscaping, paint the poles dark, remove the fencing as proposed.  Suggest ornamental grasses and black-eye susans, or other drought tolerant species.
