A final epoxy color has not been selected as an accent color for this project but we'd be glad to review with you the color selected. 2. The changes to the Crescent Drive will only be constructed after receiving the required approval. An HDC Review of this matter may be connected to the present developing Review for the MacArthur Site Sign or handled individually. 3. We appreciate your approval of the bench design for the project. 4. Concerning the light poles and project accessibility: The lamps for the light poles are 150 Watt Metal Halide which is a step down from 175 Watt bulbs previously used and suggested. We are continuing to review other possible bulb and fixture types such as L.E.D. that do not affect the historic design of the fixture. Since, we are very familiar with these light pole fixtures we feel fairly comfortable judging fixture placement and bulb wattage. We are however, sharing this plaza, fixture layout with the lighting vendor and will utilize any and all information or photometrics developed. We do agree that the realistic light level needs to be in that security or secure range- 5. We will address Tom Carpenter's comment to an approval by the City's ADA Committee by contacting Odies Wilson, the ADA Coordinator at 371-4510 (from LR website). The design is ADA accessible and we'll probably present and explain drawings of the overall plan and design to the coordinator, if that's their format and ask for approval. Thanks so much for your input. We appreciate the help and assistance that HDC staff has provided in the development of this project. Thank you, Ron Ross Cc: Mark Webre Sharon Priest Minyard, Brian From: Minyard, Brian Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2010 10:00 AM To: Ross, Ron; Webre, Mark Cc: Sharon Priest (E-mail) Subject: construction at MacArthur Park front lawn Ron, Thanks for the emails yesterday Concerning the construction Bid Response memo dated August 17, 2010, all of the concerns have been met and addressed. Please send me a note on what color will be used on the epoxy finish before you contract for those services. I think that there is a large spectrum of colors that would be appropriate for the surfaces. In that memo, you stated that the changes to the crescent drive could be handled if necessary through another HDC review. I understand this to mean that you will not be doing any work on the crescent drive with this project. Is this correct? Concerning the bench design submitted in an July 30, 2010 email, the design is approved as submitted in the photo attached. Concerning this submittal of the Light fixture via email on 8/18/2010, the motion that was made by the commission stated: "Commissioner Wood made a motion to approve the COA with recommendations of staff and assurances that all parts of projects to be assessable and useable by disabled individuals and lighting be energy efficient. Commissioner Wiedower seconded. The motion passed with 5 ayes. " The motion stated "energy efficient" but that term is fairly nebulous. Will your light salesman do a lighting plan with photometrics to make sure that you have the minimum footcandles required but not overdoing it with super huge wattage on the light bulbs? This area does not need to be like an operating room nor tennis court. Tom Carpenter, who was the legal staff at the HDC meeting that night, stated that the plans would have to be approved by an ADA committee that is within the city. I do not have a contact person for that group. Please contact we after you check with your lighting representative as to whether they con provide a lighting plan for this project. Also, let me know when you have been approved by the ADA committee. Thanks and give me a call if necessary. Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.

COMMISSION f . MEMORANDUM To: Ron Ross, Parks Planner From: Brian Minyard, HDC Staff Subject: MacArthur Parks Plaza construction documents review Date: August 10, 2010 A number of questions have arisen when I checked what had been approved for the improvements versus what had been shown in the construction documents: North Plaza: Less perimeter brick - in patches versus a continual ring of brick. • Two less benches than shown. North Plaza: Less perimeter brick - in patches versus a continual ring of brick. More detailed brick banding around pool. • Two less 16' tall lights than shown. • Overall size of plaza has increased from 65' as approved to 98' as submitted. Graphically, it appears to be same size, but dimensions are different. • Option 2 is definitely not buildable; it is too different from the approved version. South Plaza: • Less perimeter brick - in patches versus a continual ring of brick. • One 16' tall light in center rather than two lights on each side. Crescent Drive: • Raising height of drive, narrowing drive, adding bollards, etc. has not been approved. On all areas, what is the difference between "colored epoxy finish @broom finished concrete" versus "concrete with broom finish". I assume the latter is plain broom finish concrete, but you need to specify what the former is with color samples and textures. If Option #2 is desired to be built, and or the raising and narrowing of the crescent drive, this will require a hearing at the HDC for the revised plan. Please contact me concerning the above -mentioned items at 371-4789. 1 believe that most of these could be resolved without a hearing before the HDC. City of Little Rock PARKS AND RECREATION 500 West Markham Street, Room 108 - Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 Phone: 501-371-4770 — Fax 501-371-6832 MEMORANDUM To: Brian Minyard, HDC Staff From: Ron Ross, Parks Planner Subject: MacArthur Parks Plaza construction documents review Date: August 17, 2010 f. Pill- 1 01 rA Parks &- Recreation, In response to some of your questions concerning the approved improvements for the project versus what is shown in the construction documents. Most changes are in response to costs saving measures, as well as, improvements to the overall design. North Plaza: 1. Less brick is represented at the perimeter of the plaza (not continuous at the perimeter) as a cost saving measure, as well as, a revised design element introducing concrete paved areas for the bench locations. Also, the concrete areas provide a secure area to anchor the benches with little concern of damaging the brick detailing at the perimeter. 2. Fewer benches are shown and will be installed initially, but ample room is available for additional benches in the future. Main Plaza 1. Item #1 & #2 of the North Plaza applies. 2. Actually, we felt the detailing is the same or representative of the brick that is around the fountain. No excessive detailing was intended, however, we can look at that together. 3. Less light fixtures are shown but it was felt that the 4 light poles indicated would provide satisfactory lighting for the plaza and not overpower the front of the museum. Also, the option of adding lighting through a two standard bracket for an additional globe is available if lighting proves inadequate. 4. The initial graphic scale of the drawings was incorrect and therefore dimensions where off. The 98 foot plaza dimension is correct for the concept design when adjusted to real world conditions or the actual site. However, the 65 or actually 70 foot dimension for the plaza feels more correct when laid out on the site. This also affected the plaza layout around the existing fountain (the Option 2 plaza design) which is different from the continuous circle plaza but still attractive and functional. 5. We appreciate your additional review and approval of the Option 2 plaza design. This design was developed because of the comments in item #5 above along with considerations of costs. South Plaza: 1. Item #1 & #2 of the North Plaza applies. 2. One light fixture is shown in the center of the plaza which is existing. In review of the site this is a costs saving move and prevents the possibility of adversely disturbing the wiring of the existing Crescent Drive lighting. Also, the existing lighting is satisfactory for the immediate area. MEMO to Brian Minyard 08/17/2010 Crescent Drive 1. Raising of the drive to curb height, new bollards and narrowing the drive could be handled if necessary through another HDC review. All concrete surfaces are to be a broom finished texture. The epoxy finish is to be applied to the concrete surface in certain locations for color accent and the color can be reviewed with staff for approval. We hope our comments are informative and we will look to proceed with the project as noted on the drawings and as outlined above. We appreciate the help and assistance that staff has provided in the development of this project. If you need additional information, please advise.

All of the proposed changes will encourage more people to use the Park by enhancing the entrances, improving the walkways, restoring the fountain and encircling it with benches and landscaping. Everything will direct attention to the Arsenal Building, while providing space for active or passive enjoyment of the North Lawn.
