September 3, 1986 Park Board Minutes Page 3 <br />Anderson said that a new plan for Vets will be drawn up soon. <br />Van Hatten asked if the new plan will show the St. John's <br />parking lot. <br />Anderson said yes. It is basicly the one Williams presented <br />at the .Council meeting. <br />C. Historic. Area Placques <br />Anderson said that Mayor Benke wanted. to identify historic <br />sites in New Brighton and then identify them with some kind <br />of placque. <br />Johnson said it seemed-that it would be a project for the <br />Historical Society. <br />Carlson agreed. <br />Johnson said the city could help financially if needed. City <br />staff and Park Board do not seem like they would be good at <br />identifying the sites. <br />Anderson thought the Historical Society and Centennial Commission <br />could work on it together. <br />Rose said we support the idea but feel the Historical Society <br />would be better suited for the project. <br />MOTION BY VAN HATTEN, SECONDED BY OLSON, TO COOPERATE WITH <br />THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND THE CENTENNIAL COMMISSION ON THE <br />HISTORIC SITES. MOTION CARRIED. <br />Anderson said he has. received complaints from a woman about <br />the Silver Oak tennis court area. Her complaint was that <br />there is no parking and the area around the courts is trashy. <br />She also said the city should have put a time limit on when <br />Cadwallader had to have the tennis courts in. <br />Anderson said the City Attorney, LaFevere, is looking at this <br />very closely. We may have a lever. The PRD that the developer <br />was given has expired. We could make him go back to square one. <br />If there is no lever, the city could loan him the money and <br />ask for payment over 5 years. He is slow on moving on this <br />because all his money for the project would be put into the <br />tennis. courts. There is no incentive for him to complete <br />the project. <br />Van Hatten asked if he could be assessed. <br />Anderson said yes that is another possibility. <br />Kalina said the complaints about the tennis courts are not <br />about its location but rather. the eye sore around the park. <br />If the developer would just clean up the area, people would <br />be happy. <br />MOTION BY OLSON, SECONDED BY CARLSON, TO ADJOURN AT 8:20pm <br />MOTION CARRIED. <br />
