October 6, 1993 Park Board Minutes <br />in 1994 turf, tree and shrubs will be planted. No equipment will be <br />installed the first year. There are not many options as where things <br />will go because of the topography. <br />When the playground equipment goes in, we will alert the residents. <br />We will have proposals and you can pick which proposal you would <br />like. <br />During the winter, December or January, we will have a tentative <br />planting plan. The plan will be given to residents to look at and <br />change if necessary. <br />Eichers asked if there would be one or two tennis courts. Anderson <br />said one, if any. <br />~'~ <br />Olson inquired if a tennis court was needed. Some are not very busy. <br />Anderson said that most are busy during peak times. <br />Trevorrow mentioned that if this soccer field will not be regulation <br />size, there will still be no regulation size soccer field in New Brighton. <br />Residenf Burleson stated she and six or seven others have their back <br />yards abutting the park. She turned in a 'petition opposing the path <br />that would run through the park. She felt there is no reason for a path, <br />-especially an 8 foot one. There is a big area there for teenagers to <br />.gather and she does not want that. <br />A resident stated that his home had 7 broken windows and his <br />snowmobile and trailer had been disconnected from his car. He is <br />concerned that cars could drive on the path and kids would gather <br />there. <br />Resident Louie Mitteo asked who will benefit from the path. <br />Olson stated the 8 foot path is necessary for maintenance vehicles to <br />drive on and for pedestrian and biker safety. Anderson added for <br />watering of shrubs and other plantings. <br />Burleson felt that an 8 foot path was not necessary if the only reason <br />was for a maintenance vehicle to drive down it occasionally. <br />Resident Terese Thell said she would like to see the park as low key as <br />possible. She is opposed to the tennis court. She does not want to <br />see any more trees down in the park. There are courts at trondale. <br />Anderson stated that we may not have to go into the berm to lay the <br />path. <br />Thell said she would rather see the money put into trees. <br />
