Replace and enhance amenities available to the Saint Mary's neighborhood and surrounding
neighborhoods
Functional/relationship objectives include the following:

Develop and maintain a strong connection between dominant park and school site road systems
Economic objectives include the following:

Acknowledge work performed to date by designers for park and school parcels

transportation, circulation, water and waste water, landscaping, site furnishings, lighting plan and light fixtures,
paving, water elements, building materials, amenities, character, views, artwork, maintenance, signage, security,
fire suppression, public relations, shared costs, architectural forms and references, and general site utilities.
The architects also reviewed various visual applications including vehicular entry marquees, railroad trestle
vernacular for bridges, pedestrian marquee, pylons of face brick, brick banding, and granite, signage format with
City/AISD "medallion" and standard applied directional signage, soil stabilization, site furniture, security features,
fences, railings, parking, and site design for the disabled.
The Council and the Board discussed the design plans and dealt specifically with parking requirements.
The Board and the Council directed the architects to incorporate various aspects of "Concept A," especially north
of Rivercrest and the various portions of "Concept B" south of Rivercrest and east of the creek. Another item to
be included in the next architectural drawing would be to allow for the walkways from the parking lot to the fields
to be a "park experience" and to include railroad -era subtleties throughout the plan.
