Park Board ting ~ 3 November 24 970 A part of such a system should be a community or recreation center because it is a people-oriented facility. The logical location for this building would be Hansen Park according to Brauer. Barnhill moved that Brauer and Associates in cooperation with the Park and Recreation Department develop time and cost estimates for a system analysis study with options to include work to be done by the Village Planning Consultant and Park and Recreation Department. Dahl second - motion carried. Sherlock moved that a modification of the platting ordinance be explored to ensure that recreation and open space are provided for in multiple developments. Dahl second - motion carried Hagemeyer moved that the possibility of establishing an ordinance calling for land dedication or financial contribution by developers to the Park system based on the share-buying concept be considered. Smith second - motion carried The above information was requested to be available at the regular Park-,Board meeting in January, 1971. Permanent Shelter at Hansen Park Art Dickey of Arthur Dickey and Associates, architects, appeared to discuss the permanent shelter at Hansen Park. The main considerations involved are the location and size of the building and the timing of construction. Sherlock stated that based on trends toward people - centered facilities, he was in favor of constructing the first phase of a community center. Hagemeyer and Dahl concurred. Smith asked if the site would bear that large a structure. Dickey stated that according to the soil borings he presently has that the site will bear an 8000 square foot structure: He further stated that the ground was spotty and became more solid moving toward the knoll. Further borings would be taken before a final determination is made according to Dickey. Smith recommended that the architect provide figures on the maximum size building that could be placed on that site. Don Brauer suggested that the structure be thought of in terms of a recreation center not a community center. Dahl stated that some facility was needed to operate people-oriented programs. Gunderman stated he was still unconvinced as to the iiklihood of that site supporting a structure of that size. Barnhill replied that quantitative information was needed before a decision could be made. Barnhill moved to recommend to the Council that Arthur Dickey be retained to provide cost and size estimates for a building to be constructed at Hansen Park. Second Smith - motion carried
