BACKGROUND
On February 23, 1993, the library Advisory Committee's recommendation for the
final design of the new library was considered by the City Council/
Redevelopment Agency. At the conclusion of the presentation by the
architects, comments were received from the Council/Agency, members of the
Poway Road Specific Plan Advisory Committee, a representative from the library
Advisory Committee, and Ed Malone and Robert Carson, owners of the Town and
County Shopping Center.
At the conclusion of the discussion, the City Council/Agency directed that a
subcommittee be formed of two Councilmembers, two Library Advisory Committee
members, and two Poway Road Specific Plan Advisory Committee members to meet
with the architects. The purpose of the subcommittee is to work with the
architects in developing an exterior elevation that blends with the existing
Town and Country Shopping Center.
FINDINGS
On March 11, 1993, the subcommittee met with the architects. Mr. Malone and
Mr. Carson also attended the meetin9. The subcommittee visited the library
site and Town and Country Center and reviewed the comments from the February
23, 1993 Council meeting. The architects presented various alternatives for
the arcades and trellises, building colors and materials, and site lighting.
Based on input received from the subcommittee, the architects were requested
to prepare revised renderings and cost estimates. These revisions will be
presented to the Council/Agency for consideration on April 6, 1993.
