A subsurface irrigation system will prevent hard water stains on the sculpture. The Board wants to keep this space simple and open rather than introducing flowers around the sculpture. The Board is not opposed to keeping the sod, but wants to be considerate of protecting the sculpture from the weedwhacker by the grounds crews. Kathy has concern about the perennials when they are not in bloom and look tired. The Board is concerned about the natural aspect of species and not competing with the sculptures. Courtney recommends a more natural “rock garden” planting in the surrounding boulder areas as to not be distracting and require less maintenance. o Nathan Mabry – Two Vessels (Unpacked) – (west VVTRC) - Todd explains the grade of this site. The two stone walls in his site plan address the grading which will hopefully also be a deterrent for getting too close to the work. There is a 24 inch grass proposed behind the sculpture with a 12 inch grass in front. The Board is concerned about the number of plantings proposed around the work especially the proposed spruce. The consensus is that it feels crowded and will grow into the sight lines of the sculpture. Todd mentions a species of rose as one of the most popular in Vail's landscaping as a possibility. Molly asks that the camera on the adjacent wall not to be obstructed. The Board recommends waiting for the sculptures to be installed before final landscape designs, so that we can see the sight corridors and what seems reasonable for landscaping in this small space. They do not want grasses that will grow too high covering the bottom of the sculpture and would prefer to see simple natural grasses. They want to also look at the connection to the Lawrence Weiner work in proximity. o Jason Middlebrook – We are all building nests – (central VVTRC) – The large boulder has been relocated to the west of the planter bed. It will no longer be near the sculpture allowing access to the work and camouflages some of the concrete wall. The plantings will focus in front of the boulder wall. The flower crews had this location on their radar to clean up this summer. Kathy would like to see more natural plantings around the base of the sculpture not competing with it. They do not want to see juniper around the base, nor anything too "formal" encircling it. The Board is concerned about the heights of plantings in proximity of the sculpture and sight lines. They comment that the perennial beds feel quite large and remark if it is introducing too many types of plants. We want to deter people from climbing into the planter. They ask about the roses and saliva along with grasses. The Board would like to see the sculptures in place before finalizing the landscaping with the plan. They comment this is a great opportunity and gift to the community. 7.Coordinator Updates. •Molly would like to look at programming and working studios to address the Ford Park art space again soon. She recommends a visit to Basalt to see their art space and Anderson Ranch in Snowmass. •Evergreen has $200,000 mitigated to public art •We have received a formal appraisal from Emily Williams updating the values of four works in the collection. •Due to upcoming holidays the future AIPP meetings are June 6, June 27, August 1, August 29, October 3, Nov 7, Dec 5 •El Segundo is interested in having the deck area wall painted by Pedro and Jamie. •Lynx by Jessica Moon Art via the Environmental Sustainability Dept will be installed late May early June •It was brought up at a Council meeting to see what AIPP can do as far as incorporating more murals within the structures. •There is an artist the town would like to consider in connection to a group coming to Vail in 2023. 8.AIPP Strategic Plan meeting immediately following in Administration Conference Room with a full immersion tour. 9.Meeting adjourned.
