Welcome

Agenda Motion to approve duly made and unanimously accepted.
Minutes (September) Motion to approve duly made and unanimously accepted.
Public Comments N/A
32 W. Loockerman St. (frontage near bus stop) (Property owned by Colonial Management)
Discuss revisions to proposed CPTED (Crime prevention Through Environmental Design) meas-
ure. Brian (Harry) Bachman, Owner of Graydie Welding, is the artist. Scaled down project to re-
duce costs. No paint (we don’t want upkeep), all metal natural (we understand it could rust
and the natural material would meld in, uniform look), reduced decorative elements for a more
streamlined design, a soft wavy line reminiscent of the St. Jones River. Artist returned a simple
sketch, with four panels and a unique water/wave design, and top edge is wavey, which will de-
ter people from going on top of the rail. Height is from top of step. Railing would be a bit
tighter space-wise than on the concept drwg. We need a final scaled rendering, closer to what
he can do, based on the sketch (on the pink paper.)
Water lilies and other paintings are available at The Biggs could tie in with the theme of the St.
Jones River theme.
Some concern was discussed about ensuring people don’t get comfortable behind the railing on
the surface behind, but we can see if a problem arises. Some balls or “mall pyramids” can be
installed on top of the brick later, if necessary. And ask artist if there is anything that the artist
may consider.
New cost totals $7,920 - 40’ rail + 10 posts, anchors, shoes, and art metal, etc.

e $2,000 safety/parking CPTED
e $2,500 seeking from Colonial Mgmt.
e $3,000 DDOA special Project application to cover panels and design
e $500 seeking from City of Dover Mayor
e Each decorative frame/panel, is approx. 4’-0” wide x 2’-0” high. We want to be sure the art-
work stands out nicely, in proportion to the verticals.
e Ask artist to create a measured drawing so that we can really understand the final proportions,
where posts are and where do the panels actually begin (top to bottom). Where is it best to
locate the panels vertically? Is it better to locate them higher to see the artwork better? We
don’t know what's best in relation to the brick. Look to artist to determine what’s best. What
is the timeline? Can this be done in cold weather?
e DDP/Diane will complete the DDOA application, briefer application for public art. Kristin will
post the application on-line. Therefore, Kristin will step out of the process from here.
