July 2, 1980 Park Board Minutes Page 4 Negative Comments -Free skating doesn't look good near entrance Johnson feels it could be-seeded and with the berm in and a few more trees as border over the berm it would look fine. FREE SKATING EAST OF SHELTER/PICNIC ON WEST END Pn~itivr~ -Nicer looking, less distance to carry a picnic basket Negative -Poor soil conditions for skating -Higher development. cost -Higher future°maintenance cost (.potential regrading costs) -Most residents object to the plan PARKING ENTRANCE Johnson favors mid-block entrance and a north side exit. Feels they should be narrower rather than widening them with one way travel on both. PLAY AREA No reaction.- ok as presented Gunderman felt the free skating should not be moved because of the soil conditions.- It was tried previously and it didn't work. It is not an alternative as-far as he's concerned.. Likes the dual purpose of skating in the 'winter and soccer field in the summer. Feels it is a disservice to the little ones if the skating rink is too far from the shelter building and also inconvenient dropping off and picking up kids if it is too far from the parking area. Doesn't like the idea of a divider in the parking lot. Not sure. of its purpose and would cost alot of money. Would like to see the entrance signed and speed bumps put in. If".the entrance and the exit were the same area he would. rather leave the entrance where it is rather than move it mid-block. Response from residents previously, regarding the double entrance, was negative. He felt it wouldn't be all that earth shaking if the sign-had to be moved. Anderson said he doesn"t want to move the sign or take any trees out. If we go with the current entrance he recommends we-don't go the traditional 50 feet or whatever we normally put in for an entrance road. Regulate parking on both sides rather than move the sign or cut trees down. Van Hatten said he helped. put the sign in and it's there. It would be difficult to move.
