Carried REALIGNMENT OF PARK ROAD 7TH STREET PARK SITE Owing to the inability to stabilize the road through the park when it abuts County Ditch #2, it has become necessary to consider realigning the road. The planners presented a revised plan, which basically calls for moving the soft ball field in the area to the west end bringing the road which presently is on the west side of the ball field to the east side of the field. The sketch plan of the proposed realignment was presented. The residents affected by this proposed change stated a preference for reversing the parking lot and the road. As the plan was submitted, the parking lot was located west of the road, the road being adjacent to the private property in the area. The residents stated a preference for having the parking lot nearest their homes rather than the road. Motion by Hagemeyer, seconded by Hanson to recommend approval of the revised plans providing for the exchange of the parking lot and road location to insure that the parking lot be nearer the private property, and that the design follow a concept of keeping all of these facilities as far as possible from the adjacent homes in line with good design.
