ITEM No. 4 – RECOMMENDATION – Cobleigh Hall Bicycle Shelter

Presenter: Candace Mastel, Campus Planner

 

Candace Mastel presented the Cobleigh Hall Bicycle Shelter for the consideration and approval of the University Facilities Planning Board (UFPB). Instructor Bill Clinton’s Architecture 543 Class designed a covered bicycle shelter and are seeking to construct their design in a location to the West of Cobleigh Hall. This site was chosen from several locations outlined in the Bicycle Master Plan and is an ideal site for the construction of three separate small bicycle parking structures.

 

The design calls for three separate bicycle structures to be constructed next to each other. One structure would be constructed initially and potentially replicated twice more in the same Cobleigh Hall location. The structure is designed to accommodate and provide cover to the current style of high density bike racks used on campus. Campus Planning, Design & Construction (CPDC) is assisting the students with the design and implementation of the project.

 

Leslie Schmidt motioned to approve the installation of up to three covered bike shelters, as designed by the School of Architecture class, for installation on the west side of Cobleigh Hall.

John Brittingham seconded the motion.

The Vote: 18 Aye, 0 Nay.

 

ITEM No. 5 – RECOMMENDATION – Covered Bike Shelter Review Criteria

Presenter: Richard Rudnicki, Planning Manager

 

Richard Rudnicki presented the proposed approval process for the design and installation of future covered bicycle shelters on campus. The University currently does not have criteria for the design and installation of covered bicycle parking structures. Using the initial student design for the bike shelters proposed for the west side of Cobleigh Hall, CPDC has created criteria for the review and approval of covered bicycle shelters. CPDC will review future proposals based on the criteria and approve projects accordingly.

 

Brett Gunnink motioned to approve the recommendation for the Covered Bike Shelter Review Criteria.

John Brittingham seconded the motion.

The Vote: 18 Aye, 0 Nay.

 

ITEM No. 6 – RECOMMENDATION – PAAC 1% for Art Policy

Presenter: Richard Rudnicki, Planning Manager

 

Richard Rudnicki presented the recommendation to approve updates to the Public Art and Artifacts Committee (PAAC) Policy and Procedures documents. These revisions do not include the proposed 1% for Art fee, which CPDC is continuing to discuss with university stakeholders. The current proposed revisions are intended to improve the language of the documents without major impacts to the PAAC policies.

 

Chris Fastnow motioned to approve the Public Art and Artifacts Committee’s updated Policy document and updated Procedures document.

Brett Gunnink seconded the motion.

The Vote: 18 Aye, 0 Nay.

 

ITEM No. 7 – Gallatin County’s Hazard Mitigation and Community Wildfire Protection Plan

Presenter: Candace Mastel, Campus Planner and Michael Stanley, MSU Police

 

Candace Mastel presented an overview of the content and purpose of the Hazard Mitigation and Community Wildfire Protection Plan. The plan addresses many topics of resiliency planning and disaster preparedness in the larger community. Michael Stanley elaborated on the importance of adopting the plan for MSU and the value of the collaboration among the community stakeholders.

 

UFPB discussed the importance of ensuring all MSU facilities, buildings and land are included in future hazard mitigation planning, as some MSU property was omitted from this plan. Committee members noted other aspects of the plan that should be improved the next time a hazard mitigation plan is drafted.

 

Dan Stevenson motioned to approve the adoption of Gallatin County’s Hazard Mitigation & Community Wildfire Protection Plan.

Duane Morris seconded the motion.

The Vote: 18 Aye, 0 Nay.
