The Tisbury Planning Board is hosting a community forum on the Owen Park Bandstand on Wednesday at 6 pm at the Katharine Cornell Theater. Architect Keith Moskow will be there to present his concept proposal, which was approved by the planning board last month.
The forum comes as the Tisbury Historic Commission has called on the town selectmen to reject a planning board decision to approve Moskow’s design over one created by Paul Lazes saying it lacks the “Vineyard elements” that Lazes included in his design.
Moskow will be at Wednesday’s forum to answer questions about his design. There will be time for questions and comments, according to a flyer posted by the town.
Please contact Patrick Ahearn.
The neighborhood and West Chop area strongly resemble Edgartown.
My strong suggestion is not to upset the apple cart with a decidedly Victorian OR Japanese lantern design.
The last person I would call is Ahern.
While I agree that neither design fits,to me the Moskow one is a better fit. In my untrained eye, the roofline at least mimics the roofline of the stone bank.
Can the location also be looked at? Maybe moving it down the hill 25-50 feet, to make the sitting area a bit more expansive. Or even, centering the band stand? Will landscape re-design also be covered? Maybe curve the green towards the bandstand?
The design specifications called for using the existing footprint.
