All those who attended the Public Forum received a comment report outlining your views, ideas and concerns from that meeting also. The design team appreciates your efforts and your input on behalf of this project. As part of the continuing process of public input for the Town Center a series of smaller input groups was assembled from individuals who expressed interest at the Public Forum and • that volunteered to help with technical issues of the project. Based on input from the initial Public Forum four technical issue groups were put together and asked to provide further ideas involving critical uses areas of the project, those subcommittees are: Technical / Communications James Alford C. C . E. Neil Adams TCA Cable Marvin Hilton Cable Administrator Elchibition / Community Users Greg Taylor Taylor Display Marilyn Snapp Chamber of Commerce Becky Carter Exhibit Plus Kitchen / Catering Jay Fennel Jose's Ken Woodbury Ozark Brew Pub Suzi Stephens Nibbles Alex Jerde Hilton Page Two • Input Groups Meetings Town Center 12-3- 1997 Public Space Design Hank Kaminsky Artist Susan Ferrell Square Gardens Barry Kew UofA Landscape Architecture Cathy Dicus Junior Civic League Bootsie Ackerman Downtown / Dickson Enhancement Diane Boyd Executive Square Attached please find minutes of these meetings reflecting comments and concerns expressed by technical groups. Since the Public Forum held in September several meetings of Fayetteville's Advertising & Promotion Commission have seen presentations of the project to help further refine all aspects of the design of the project. At the last Commission meeting early exterior concept ideas were reviewed and issues concerning materials , budget and possible additional space • needs , with possible additional funding from the City, were discussed. The next step in the development process for this project is to present more developed exterior concepts to the A & P Commission. Once further input is completed from these meetings we envision another Public Forum meeting to gather comments on the revised design including the proposed exterior development. Thank you for your continued involvement with this project. • TECHNICAL / COMMUNICATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE James Alford Jim Bemus Marvin Hilton The Town Center needs to have fiber optics connection for communication. The location of nearest downtown trunk line needs to be determined . The connection will need to be new fiber wire with the largest "thru-put " capability. The Center needs to be able to receive and send by satellite for interactive video conferencing . Costs would be kept at a minimum if a directly connected least to the CCE, but there is a great possibility that both facilities would need to receive simultaneously. The CCE currently uses a mobile truck to send signals. The truck is connected into the facility by cables & conduits. This truck could be rented by the Town Center to alleviate the cost of a separate sending satellite dish . The connection capability for the truck could be designed to minimize and simplify amount of cables required . The roof mounted satellite dish needs to have an automatic tracking system . Size, location, structural requirements, cable/conduit requirements need to be determined . Requirements need to be made to accommodate a high speed networking global market. Lighting in the exhibit space needs to be subdivided in the hall . It needs to have • various types of lighting for different lighting levels, at different physical levels, and for different focal points/speaker locations . There needs to be a control booth at a higher level to observe lighting , activity, sound, etc. Cameras can be used to view spaces not visible when the hall has been divided . Ideally the exhibit hall should be hard wired for cameras on the floor with multi pin connectors . Floor should also should have plug for sound, power, phone, fiber, computer at intervals approx. 20' . The technology of the center should plan for the near future digital world . An acoustic consultant may need to be considered to help with the specifics of the hall space, materials, flexibility and help plan for the industry standards and requirements. Plan for multiple screens in hall with audience participation. Plan for the use of "flat screen technology " and wall of monitors . Video conferencing will be planned for. Camera location and conduit should be provided to get full visibility of entire hall and when subdivided . Distance education should be planned for in this scenario . There should be a front of the house mixer. Remotely controlled cameras . Projectors which can be adjusted in height and direction. Slide track or slings could be used for flexibility. Provide RTS communication system or similar. Hardwire is best. Plan for multi-Media presentations. Catwalk could be used for media cameramen location above crowd . • • EXHIBITION / COMMUNITY USERS SUBCOMMITTEE Becky Carter Marilyn Snapp There needs to be adequate storage for additional exhibit supplies that can be ordered from a service desk on the main hall level . Service desk can be off service hallway and would be manned by the exhibit contractor who organizes the setup of the event. Ideally the service desk would be two 8' counters with a service window . The exhibitor may request additional pipe, drape, lighting , skirted tables, etc . The majority of the supplies would be brought on site by the exhibitor setup contractor, but items are sometimes forgotten or not ordered properly by exhibitor. There needs to be a show manager's office . This can be small area with phone, power, and computer outlets. There needs to be storage for a forklift on lower levels that can be used to move paletted materials shipped or brought on site . Power, communication requirements, etc. needs to be provided every 20' to 30' . Water should be provided, but not as often . Ideal freight elevator size should be 12 'X 10' with a minimum height of 8'-0" . The passenger elevator needs to be increased some in size . There needs to be holding areas for exhibits near the freight elevators. Need to plan for exhibitors who have small exhibits. Plan for cars wanting to be in truck service drive . Provide separate • drop off area for exhibitors . • • KITCHEN / CATERING SUBCOMMITTEE Suzi Stephens Jay Fennel Ken Woodbury For a food preparation kitchen the equipment required would be: a 6 burner range with vented hood , one electric convection oven, one gas convection oven, one 100 cup coffee maker, a 3 compartment sink with sprayer and disposal, two 500 Ib icemakers (portable ) , and four Carter-Hoffman 160 plate warmers ( 30" x 5 ' x 6' portable) • Downstairs needs a 10' x 10' walk-in refrig with 5 x10 freezer inside . Need lots of plugs in kitchen and in service hallway. Provide high amps to adequately service multiple equipment use . Stainless steel counter tops . Plenty of lay out space for plate prep . Dishwasher may not be required by caterer, but would be used by small meeting groups and\or breakroom . Slope floors in service hall and kitchen for pressure washing . Portable bar can be used throughout facility when needed . Plan storage for tables, chairs, portable bars, dry foods. Plan for maximum serving capacity of 1000. Catering vehicles typically are vans and box trucks 14' long . Service docks are too high for catering truck.

Equipment needs to be portable to allow service from hall . Provide convenience counter top at these locations . These spaces need to have plenty of high amp plugs. • • PUBLIC SPACE DESIGN SUBCOMMITTEE Susan Ferrell Dianne Boyd Bootsie Ackerman Hank Kaminsky Plaza design needs to accommodate a variety of users from children to the elderly. Public space should be the opportunity to display local sculpture and artwork. Artwork could provide interactive visual and tactile elements for people of all ages . Scale and edges should be appropriate . Design should incorporate both a sense of formality and movement. This is an opportunity to connect to the square gardens. The Plaza should accommodate an open pathway for emergency vehicles and/or the rare occasion to bring a single vehicle onto the floor. Maintenance requirements should be considered in selecting items and materials for public space . Who will be responsible for the maintenance of the landscaping ? Public bathrooms should be provided , but issues of security for both the exhibit hall and the users should be considered . The open hours for the public bathrooms may need to be limited . Ideas discussed for the plaza include fountains, clock, time capsule, change in levels, • banners, information kiosk, seating , retail, sculpture, . . . The trees should be a variety of species which would include a mix of evergreen and deciduous. The trees and planting needs to accommodate 12 months of color and foliage . Planting should take into consideration need for visibility to maintain security. Lighting is a key consideration to security as well as the design of the public space. Lighting needs to eliminate dark pockets around corners, bushes, stairwells, etc. Retail users desired to be on Plaza level rather than on Rock. Night use shops would promote a more secure plaza by bringing more users after dark.
