ew <br />0 <br />~' righton <br />M <br />C° November 1, 1985 <br />• <br />~.n <br />'s' To: New Brighton Park Board <br />a <br />I- ~ j:,: . <br />Frarn: Maurice Allderso~ir'S~~rector of Parks and Recreation <br />w <br />Re: Redesign of South Hansen Parking Lot <br /> <br />z <br />O <br />~ The revised comprehensive plan for Hansen Park contains a <br />;,~ picnic facility in the south portion of the park and an <br />~ enlarged parking area at the location of the present "turn- <br />~' around." The parking area is designed to serve casual. <br />~ visitors to the area and the eventual, picnic area. The <br />z parking lot is scheduled for 1986 ar '$7 at a cost of <br />p $25,000 and the picnic shelter for 1990 at a cost of <br />a $10,000. <br />0 <br /> It now appears quite likely that 12th Ave, will be cones <br />Q structed in 1986 which means that the parking area should <br />..~ also be built in 1986. I have recently met with the City <br />rx Engineer and the developer of the site to investigate options <br />~ far developing parking for this area. The large parking area <br />-~ originally proposed is needed only if the picnic shelter is <br />~ constructed. With the extensive picnic facilities now assured <br />~ for Lang Lake Park, I am bec3inning to seriously question the <br />~- need for this picnic facility and consequently the large <br />~ parking lot. I believe that a small lot for 6--10 cars <br />w would be adequate to serve the present and future use of <br />~ that area if the picnic shelter is deleted. <br /> <br />~ The origa.nal parking lot was estimated at $25,705. T1ze two <br /> smaller lots at $5,887 and $4,291 p1.us $4,479 for. ~z tree cost. <br /> of the cul-de-sac or a savings of approximately $15,000. The <br />p picna~c shelter was estimated at $10,000 plus about $7,000 for <br />~ sewer and water installation. Cast of the proposed develop- <br />Q <br />~ ment is: <br />Reduced Development <br />~ Parking $25,705 <br /> Shelter $10,000 ~ cul.-de-sac $4,479 <br />p Utilities $ 7,p00 Parking lot $4,291 <br />z <br />Q $42,705 $8,770 <br />Y The net savings restal.ting from reducing the parking and <br />q- eliminating the picnic shelter is $33,935. <br /> Recommendation <br /> To eliminate the picnic shelter from the Hansen Park plan <br /> and reduce the size of the parking area. <br />
