SCHEMATIC PLAN/COMMUNITY CENTER
Mr. Mark Bodien reviewed the evolutionary history of the building's design. He presented a
series of schemes/options based on Councilmember Carlson's submitted designs. He stated that
increased perimeter length results in higher costs and that efforts had been made to reduce
perimeter length. He conducted a room-by-room analysis of the square footage allotments.
Councilmember Bakken requested a letter of intent from the Eagan Convention and Visitors
Bureau. He stated that the proposed rent amount should include market rate plus a positive cash
flow margin.
Councilmember Carlson stated that the Historical Society's space requests could be
accommodated using other, more suitable public buildings.
The assembled group discussed the desirability of a longer track and having 3 full gyms with
drop down walls so the space can also be used for larger events. Regarding the exterior, the
facilities design team agreed that red brick would be unacceptable and recommended an exterior
that would be compatible with the Fire Administration building in terms of colors and materials.
