will be played here . Moving the football field to North South pushes everything to the south of the site. The Committee reviewed the 2 other site plans . #2 moves everything further from the river. Tom liked the angle to 151 but sun may be an issue. Bob Fournier said #1 tried to get as much sunlight in as possible to reduce winter icing . Tom said scheme 2 is not wasting space along Old Barnstable Rd , where we don ' t need a lot of buffer and it is further from the river. The consensus is to better utilize the land abutting Old Barnstable Rd . Peter suggested they prepare a site plan showing the performing arts center compressed towards Old Barnstable Rd . Their access road should be south of the housing authority property . Bob Fournier said he will ask Dick Foster to start setting up meetings with the environmental groups to deal with any environmental issues related to the river . Dan suggested, for Tuesday ' s meeting , no representation of the performing arts center, just show how we plan to layout the high school . Then it won ' t be adversarial . The Committee agreed with this approach . The Committee reviewed the 3-D exterior drawings. Ian reminded the Committee there will be a lot of trees around the building that will soften the look . The architects asked about the exterior material - all brick , concrete block , (cheaper than brick ) or combination? Brick is the most expensive , wood and concrete block the least. Concrete masonry is almost as durable as brick . The Committee would like to know the cost differences. Mark said , as they work on the plan and define the perimeter, they will run alternatives on the price . **Merry Sue made a motion to adjourn at 7 : 20 p. m. Bill Jones seconded the motion . All members were in favor. ** NEXT SCHEDULED MEETING: TUESDAY, MAY 31 AT 4 : 00 P.M . Minutes submitted by Arden R. Cadrin 5
