Designers say spiral path needs hardened surface; engineer will advise on drainage and test pits
Summary
KZLA said the steep spiral path requires a hardened, plowable surface (concrete or similar), flagged grading and ADA considerations, and recommended civil-engineer input and potential test pits to inform stormwater and foundation decisions.
KZLA briefed the committee on engineering constraints for the park, highlighting a spiral path down a steep grade that "really can't be stone dust" because of erosion and runoff. The firm said the path needs strengthening with a hardened material (concrete or an alternative) plus landings and handrails for ADA compliance; designers also discussed permeable materials, resin-bound aggregates, and trade-offs in cost and maintenance.
Members asked whether the team could present civil-engineer findings at the next meeting; KZLA said the engineer would be consulted and could present likely conditions, and the committee agreed to coordinate site survey materials and share three surveys the town holds. Designers noted site investigation such as test pits would help refine grading, infiltration and cost estimates before the Oct. 6 deliverable.
