He acknowledged this issue has <br />been ongoing for some time and involved many discussions. Ultimately, the outcome <br />was well worth the effort and allowed the City to explore an overall recreational plan for <br />the park and address parking problems. After much analysis, the Park Commission <br />recommends installation of one tennis court and construction of a parking lot adjacent to <br />the park. The installation and construction would commence Spring 1999. <br /> <br />Samuelson feels this is a viable approach to a long standing issue. <br /> <br />A resident asked why the original recommendation was changed from two courts to one. <br />Anderson said 720 notices were mailed and 20 residents attended a December 2, 1998, <br />meeting. The consensus favored addressing the parking problem on Oakwood Dr. versus <br />installation of a second court. Benke acknowledged the original intention was to <br />construct two courts, however, discussions illustrated site constraints, reduced demand <br />for a tennis facility, and safety/parking concerns were of greater need than a second <br />court. <br /> <br />Consent A~enda <br /> <br />EDC Membership <br />Report 99-015 <br />Ordinance 653 <br /> <br />Purchase of Pickup <br />Truck <br />Report 99-016 <br /> <br />Purchase of Mower <br />Report 99-017 <br /> <br />Settlement of <br />BCP2/Lakeview <br />Business Park <br />Report 99-018 <br /> <br />1998 Pay Equity <br />Report <br />Report 99-019 <br /> <br />Liveable Conununjties <br />Grant <br />Report 99-020 <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Silver Oaks Park Plan <br />Report 99-021 <br />
