Designers say pavilion will not remove trees; neighbors raise sound and access concerns
Summary
Consultants stressed no trees would be removed and that siting plus architectural buffering should direct sound away from nearby beach houses; a resident questioned proximity to the swim area and potential impacts on beach access.
Residents asked whether the pavilion would affect the beach, views and nearby houses, and the design team repeatedly assured the public that trees would not be removed and that buffering would be used to mitigate sound. "No trees will be removed on either I agree with you totally," a consultant said while describing the evergreen backdrop that will help screen the pavilion from residences.
A resident asked specifically about the swim area and whether sound would travel toward beach houses; designers said moving the pavilion to the northern border and designing a performance backdrop would help direct sound away from houses. The team also noted a 50-foot setback line from mean high water applies in the park’s classification, which constrains siting closer to the lake.
