Site Plan Review: Hanson Park Rehabilitation <br />Planning Commission Report; 2-21-23 <br /> <br /> <br />Page 6 <br />Proposed Site <br />Plan Updates: <br /> According to the 2040 Park and Trail System Master Plan, the Hanson Park East <br />redesign (now under review) is described as including… <br />”reorientation of the north ballfield to an ideal direction for play <br />(northeast). Each ballfield will be re-sized to 200’ with grading and <br />drainage improvements to accommodate play. The layout also includes <br />a paved multi-use 8’ wide trail connection to each field and expanded <br />spectator areas with bleachers. Small play pods with one or two play <br />features (such as swings) would be located near the spectator area for <br />younger children watching games. There is also an option to fit a <br />multi-purpose field on the north ballfield. Parking lots will be <br />consolidated into one lot with 119 stalls including accessible parking <br />and sidewalks. Improvements to the popular disc golf course include a <br />redesigned entrance, first hole and upgrades to existing tee boxes for <br />consistency. An open-air shelter just south of the parking lot provides a <br />separate gathering area for disc golf and space for group events.” <br /> To summarize, these improvements will result in: <br />− Two updated ball fields with proper drainage, orientation, and amenities (i.e. <br />dugouts, fencing, bleachers, etc). <br />− Northern ball field will now become a multi-purpose field allowing for a <br />greater range of uses. <br />− One new redesigned parking lot. <br />− New/updated trails providing needed connectivity on the eastern side of the <br />park. <br />− Playground amenities for spectators/children attending games. <br />− New gateway to the disc golf course and improved tee boxes. <br />− Tennis court rehabilitation on the west side of the park. <br /> <br />Setbacks:  The new parking lot will be at the same distance from the eastern property line as <br />the existing parking (approximately 9.5 feet) which conforms to the 5 foot <br />minimum side yard setback from adjacent residential property. All other <br />structures/improvements will be well beyond setback requirements. <br /> <br />Building <br />Materials: <br /> Building materials for benches, fences, trails, and other improvements will be <br />consistent with similar installations at other City Parks (i.e. Lions Park), and will <br />conform to all engineering standards for public improvements. <br /> <br />
