April 6, 1988 Park Board Minutes Olson defined a neighborhood park as a park that we work with the neighborhood on to develop a park that works well for their needs. Meadow Wood is a goad. example. There is a playground area, picnic area, volleyball court and small ball field .with backstop. John Johnson-said he did not perceive a neighborhood park with a parking lot or a park that is scheduling competitive activities. Ken Johnson said it could have a parking lot. Rose said a playground. would be a good definition. 6 Phyllis Hanson said she is on a park advisory board. and there are small differences in defining a neighborhood park between different communities.. Ken Johnson said it is something that works well with the specific neighborhood. B. Long Lake Boat Launch Operating Plan Anderson gave a brief history of how the operating plan got to this point. When the master plan-was approved, the Park Board and City Council were given review authority over the boat launch design. The Council also directed staff to present an operating plan for the launch when the design was presented for approval. The plan for the boat launch has been approved by the Long Lake Advisory Committee. Anderson said Ken Simons will talk about the boat launch and Anderson will talk about the operating plan. Simons said most of the facilities in the plan remain the same as what was shown in 1982. Simons went over the plan and explained each item. Johnson asked if there would be some kind of fencing by the gate house. Simons said yes, there will eventually be a formal gate. Everything is curbed. wood posts could be put in to keep people from driving over the curb. A resident asked if this plan was like the one on White Bear. Simons responded it was similar. Simons said there is a definite separation between the 5 & 10 spaces and the 18 spaces for cars with no trailers.
