Buckeye zoning moving forward; storm-line upgrade will affect playground and trigger cleanup
Summary
Staff said zoning approval for the Buckeye project is expected imminently, that preliminary detention-area cleanup will start, and that an upgrade from a 10-inch to 15-inch storm line will likely require replacing playground equipment and temporary relocation of play structures.
Staff told the Buildings and Grounds meeting that zoning approval for the Buckeye project should clear by the end of the week or early next week and that preliminary cleanup of the detention area in the woods will start soon.
Staff said they spoke with homeowners at the rear of the property who will not lose their view of the woods and do not want a fence; staff said wetlands and other constraints mean their properties are unlikely to be disturbed. The discussion noted that a 10-inch storm line currently under a playground will be replaced with a 15-inch storm line, which will necessitate cutting through that area and likely removing at least one swing set.
Staff said they will procure replacement playground equipment through the same consortium used previously and will identify a temporary and then permanent location for replacement equipment, likely north of the nineties edition toward the edge of the property. Staff described the scheduling and placement as an "ongoing juggling act" and said surveyors will confirm exact locations once cleanup and initial grading proceed.
Ending
Staff said they will continue to coordinate with homeowners, contractors and surveyors as work progresses. No formal approvals or final procurement decisions were recorded in the meeting.
