court you have about 30 ft. behind you to chase a ball. On the <br />permanent Pickleball Court you have a net behind you and a fence so <br />there is only about 10 ft you would have to chase a ball. People will <br />play 3, 4, or 5 times per week. The temporary nets are not firm in the <br />ground, they sit on top of the surface of the court and could be <br />knocked down if they are run into. <br />• Tennis players do not like playing on courts that are also lined for <br />Pickleball. <br />• At Highview they have 4-8 people waiting to play. <br />Inquiry: Is the asphalt surface contributing to the water issue residents are <br />having in that area? <br />• Director Breuer stated she spoke with Craig Schlichting, Director of <br />Community Development and Assets, and he stated that run off is not <br />significant and is not a significant issue to the water problem. <br />Inquiry: Is it possible to put Pickleball Courts at Hansen after dredging project <br />is complete. <br />No because that area where the 2 small ball fields were will not be flat, it <br />will be a hill. <br />Inquiry: How much to replace tennis court and can it be guaranteed that <br />won't have the same water issue? Chris Wolla, Parks Superintendent felt <br />they could guarantee won't have the same water issue because all current <br />asphalt would be removed and would only have one layer of asphalt with a <br />coating on it. Estimate about $45,000 - $50,000. <br />Inquiry: Is there enough parking? <br />If you have designated time, think that parking would be sufficient. <br />Sometimes you can get 6 Pickleball Courts on 2 tennis courts. It depends <br />on the court. We would have to check the layout of Hidden Oaks. At Silver <br />Oaks Chris Wolla would recommend two portable net Pickleball courts. <br />Inquiry: Would 2 Pickleball courts be sufficient at one location? <br />John Melgrum recommended 4 Pickleball Courts at one location. You <br />need enough people showing up to play so you can keep the games <br />going. They use Google Calendar to say whether they would be there or <br />not and that helped to know who would be there. In 2014 started with 40 <br />players and in 3 years they were up to 320 people. There is no lighting at <br />Hidden Oaks. <br />Silver Oaks is the one we are looking at. Do we want to update a different <br />court now as opposed to waiting until 2022? <br />Hansen and Hidden Oaks are the only two locations that would work for <br />adding 4 Pickleball courts. PREC could make a recommendation to <br />Council. Chris Wolla stated he has requested a quote for work at Hidden <br />Oaks to convert to 6 pickleball courts but has not yet received the quote <br />back. <br />Hidden Oaks is more attractive because not too many residents live close. <br />The Pickleball noise would not disturb many. Parking: most park in the <br />lots, but perhaps 5 or 10 would have to be on the street. <br />Commissioners decided they need more information before making a <br />decision about adding Pickleball courts. Recommend doing another survey in <br />3 <br />
