Commission approves Adirondack chairs and planter boxes for Depot Plaza; chooses green color
Summary
The commission approved Beautification Brigade proposals to add 4–6 movable Adirondack chairs and nine Corten-steel planters to the Depot Downtown Plaza, with funding from brigade donations and their budget; staff will seek Public Works and Planning review for accessibility and sight lines.
The Parks & Recreation Commission approved a Beautification Brigade request to place movable Adirondack chairs and Corten-steel planter boxes in the Depot Downtown Plaza.
Staff presented a map and samples and said the project would add 4 to 6 movable Adirondack chairs to provide casual seating and nine planter boxes to define seating areas and create a buffer between play areas and vehicle access. The Beautification Brigade and staff said all funding will come from donations and the Brigade's allocated budget; staff noted the design still requires review by Public Works and Planning to confirm accessibility and sight lines.
Commissioners voiced general support for the design and the plan to fund it through donations. After a brief color discussion, commissioners settled on green for the Adirondack chairs. Commissioner Naomi Grama moved to approve the Brigade's recommendations and the color selection; Commissioner Emmett Austin seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote with no recorded opposition in the transcript.
The commission directed staff to pursue required interdepartmental reviews and to return any required permits or impacts for final administrative approval.
