Notice of Proposed Public Art - Fire Station Art and Landscape Project

Notice of 45-Day Public Comment Period for Proposed Fire Station Art and Landscape Project
The Public Review Process Ends December 16th
The is a courtesy announcement that the public review period for the City's Fire Station Art and Landscape Project is now open and the City is accepting comments on the proposed project. The 45-day public review process officially began on November 1st and ends December 16th. During this time, the City is asking the community to please provide your input and comments on this proposed public art and landscaping project. The comments will be presented to the City Council for their consideration after the public comment period is over. 
The selected proposal is titled the "Firewall" by artist Betsy Schulz and Van Dyke Landscape Architects. The materials for the sculpture consist of glass and steel with rusted patina, coated with 2-part epoxy paint. The structure will be approximately 9 to 11 feet tall, 4-foot-wide and between 1 to 2 feet thick. The 4-foot sides are red, orange, and yellow chunk glass carefully arranged into a mosaic behind metal mesh and internally lit by led lights. The proposal also includes complementary landscaping replacing the existing grass turf with drought tolerant, native plants that enhance the art piece to provide a robust, spectacular project. The proposal is shown below.

A mock-up showing the dimensions of the art wall has been placed onsite on the lawn in front of the Fire Station with a sign depicting the proposed landscaping. Also, the artist has created a small sample of the wall and placed it in the City Hall lobby for people to come and observe what the wall will look like with the mosaic chunk glass and lighting. The City invites the public to review both mock-ups and submit comments.  
To leave a public comment or for questions regarding this proposed project, please email Kayla Moshki at kmoshki@cosb.org. The 45-Day Public Review Period is from November 1 through December 16, 2017.
