3.E. Amphitheater Update
Rationale:
There was no sub-committee meeting held this past week but Mr. Hansen's had a survey crew out taking and staking elevations.
Patty Lindgren purchased a memorial bench and planted some trees several years ago on the east side of Wanahoo and she contacted our office with several concerns. She was initially concerned with paint and stakes located on the concrete slab where her bench is located as well as a rebar pin. She is also concerned about any proposed amphitheater location that could potentially interfere with her memorial bench. I explained to her no location has been determined for a potential structure and I would keep her informed as the planning proceeds. She also informed me, in the event the amphitheater is built near or on her current bench location, she would not be interested in moving she would be wanting a refund for her costs. |
