April 2, 1986 Park Board Mintues <br />Page 5 <br />Van Hatten thought that perhaps 9th Street could be vacated <br />if 3rd Ave. was closed. <br />Anderson said he would like to come up with enough information- <br />for Bill Midness from each plan to put another plan together <br />to present to the residents. Would then like to a have a final <br />plan ready for the-May Council meeting and begin construction <br />in August. <br />Midness said he would like the residents and the Council to <br />see all the plans, as the Park Board has, to see how the <br />Park Board made its:-: decisions. <br />Van Hatten said he likes the entrance in #1 <br />Johnson suggested bringing the path away from the pond and <br />make it longer for joggers. <br />Van Hatten said the City Hall access is important, also the <br />parking lot entrance for maintenance vehicles. <br />Blomquist said she liked the pond on #2, the plaza on #3 <br />and the entrance on #1. <br />Williams sand the shelter building close to the pond in #3 <br />would be nice for skaters. <br />Johnson said he liked the formal access. <br />Anderson said he likes the entrance in #1. Perhaps the Vets <br />World War l Memorial could be placed in the triangle area of <br />the entrance and could have a flag raising in the entrance. <br />Van Hatten said a sand volleyball court could be put in north <br />of City Hall. <br />Anderson said the final plan should have a hard surface area. <br />Johnson said he liked the entrance on #1 where it's all one <br />level overlooking a statue or memorial, have retaining walls <br />on each side of the triangle. The triangle could be softened. <br />Midness said in #3 he was creating the image of "Veterans" <br />Park with the plaza effect. <br />Anderson asked the Prak Board how they felt about the ponding. <br />Van Hatten thought a small pond like the one in #2 was nice. <br />Anderson said a small one would be easier to aerate. <br />Anderson said if he had a choice he would put the skating <br />area on grass rather than use the pond. If the large pond <br />was chosen, the skating would have to be on the pond. <br />Anderson said we could reverse the ponding to have the larger <br />portion to the north. <br />
