Manor Park Warming House /Pavilion
Commissioner Christensen talked to Sussell regarding the changes discussed with the
Planner at the last meeting, the addition of these things changed the Sussell way
• of thinking, changing the building from a "garage" to a "house ", and changing the
pricing structure. This added $10,000 - $15,000 to the price of the building.
The Commission discussed the issue at length:
Could the building be built as a garage and the insulating, and utilities be added
at a later date?
Is there any way to avoid putting in bathrooms when they are only used two months
out of the year and satellities are used the other 10 months?
What if they were open all year? Who would lock and unlock them? maintain them?
Would there be problems if they remained open unattended?
