17 The information provided in this presentation is meant to encourage dialogue between Council and Staff so that a Basis of Design can be established as a guide when working with architects to design park master plan elements. This approach would ensure a consistent implementation of park development elements.

18 Decisions need to be made in the next 4-8 weeks regarding the type, style, & design of various elements (i.e. the Amphitheater, Restroom & Concession Facilities, Pedestrian Plazas) defined in the Allen Pond and Whitemarsh Park Master Plans so that our hired consultants designing these elements may develop conceptual options and their respective cost estimates. Each of these master plans has items identified in the FY16 budget for design, with construction taking place in FY17. The following slides detail specific elements of the Allen Pond and Whitemarsh Park Master Plans.
