Middle School, located in the NW ¼ of Section 31 (Tax Key No. 2282.999 / W216 S10586

a “cut-sheet” from the manufacturer of the proposed structure. Materials will be pressboard
with laminate overlay to represent cedar, and will be stained to match the school. Nothing has
been submitted to determine how to break up the roofline. Mr. Gary Rosploch stated that this
building will be used for cold storage and attempts have been made to keep the building
simple and inexpensive. Commissioners Gummer and Brodel felt that the submittal is
unacceptable and does not reflect quality standards. Commissioner Gummer suggested that
the School District contact the school architect for a sketch that would show all elevations of
the structure. Commissioner Brodel felt that the location of the building was intrusive on the
basketball courts and would like to see the building moved to a different area. Mr. Rosploch
stated that the building was placed at this location for accessibility to the service and receiving
end of the school. Discussion ensued regarding the need for enhanced materials. Suggestion
was given to Mr. Rosploch that the School District work with the school architect to submit an
alternative design; along with the best location for the building. Alderman Chiaverotti made a
