AN DOWNTOWN Design Committee Meeting re OVER October 9, 2024 PARTNERSHIP 12:00 PM Zoom Meeting Minutes Attendees: Dawn Melson-Williams, Jennifer Gunther, Kerry Lacey, Roger Ridgeway, Kristin Pleasanton, Diane Laird Welcome Volunteer to take minutes (Diane) Agenda Motion to approve duly made and unanimously accepted. Minutes (September) Motion to approve duly made and unanimously accepted. Public Comments N/A 32 W. Loockerman St. (frontage near bus stop) (Property owned by Colonial Management) Discuss revisions to proposed CPTED (Crime prevention Through Environmental Design) meas- ure. Brian (Harry) Bachman, Owner of Graydie Welding, is the artist. Scaled down project to re- duce costs. No paint (we don’t want upkeep), all metal natural (we understand it could rust and the natural material would meld in, uniform look), reduced decorative elements for a more streamlined design, a soft wavy line reminiscent of the St. Jones River. Artist returned a simple sketch, with four panels and a unique water/wave design, and top edge is wavey, which will de- ter people from going on top of the rail. Height is from top of step. Railing would be a bit tighter space-wise than on the concept drwg. We need a final scaled rendering, closer to what he can do, based on the sketch (on the pink paper.) Water lilies and other paintings are available at The Biggs could tie in with the theme of the St. Jones River theme. Some concern was discussed about ensuring people don’t get comfortable behind the railing on the surface behind, but we can see if a problem arises. Some balls or “mall pyramids” can be installed on top of the brick later, if necessary. And ask artist if there is anything that the artist may consider. New cost totals $7,920 - 40’ rail + 10 posts, anchors, shoes, and art metal, etc. Proposed sources of funding The Design Committee encourages and enables improvements to buildings and enhancements to the downtown Dover business district through grant/incentive programs, public art, aesthetic amenities, and education on appropriate design principles to promote value of historic and cultural resources.

\ DOWNTOWN Design Committee Meeting ye SSOVER October 9, 2024 PARTNERSHIP 12:00 PM Zoom e $2,000 safety/parking CPTED e $2,500 seeking from Colonial Mgmt. e $3,000 DDOA special Project application to cover panels and design e $500 seeking from City of Dover Mayor e Each decorative frame/panel, is approx. 4’-0” wide x 2’-0” high. We want to be sure the art- work stands out nicely, in proportion to the verticals. e Ask artist to create a measured drawing so that we can really understand the final proportions, where posts are and where do the panels actually begin (top to bottom). Where is it best to locate the panels vertically? Is it better to locate them higher to see the artwork better? We don’t know what's best in relation to the brick. Look to artist to determine what’s best. What is the timeline? Can this be done in cold weather? e DDP/Diane will complete the DDOA application, briefer application for public art. Kristin will post the application on-line. Therefore, Kristin will step out of the process from here.
