October 6, 1993 Park Board Minutes 7 A resident said it is nice to have another way to walk out of the park other than the way you came in. A resident suggested that a path be phased in and it could be added later. Anderson said he likes to do paths and the plantings first because they are .messy to put in. A resident expressed concern about the material used for the path. Crushed rock would be fiine but blacktop will stick out. Kinzie added that once. there is a path, people tend to stay on it. Another resident expressed concern with blacktop. Trevorrow said the plantings would help. Resident Johnson asked if it could. be a cement path. Anderson said that is very expensive. Kinzie added that staff people; Rick and Maurie bend over backwards to help. Resident Parviz said he would speak for the people who were not in attendance; some of the residents who would be living in the condos. He called them the soft voices. They like the soccer field and they are in favor of the tennis court. Eichers said only two or four people can use a tennis court at one time. Basketball can have many people. Resident Thell inquired about the installation and maintenance cost of a tennis court. Anderson said maintenance is not a problem, but they are expensive to install. The volleyball court may be relocated to the play equipment area. A resident said he doesn't see the need fora 20 car parking lot; maybe 10 car. Carlson said we did not create the shape of this park. We have to develop.the park for the whole community. Want to put in as much as you want. Have found that vandalism and crime have gone down when parks have been developed. The park will be an amenity to your property. Most of the concerns we heard on what would happen if we put in the Pike Lake Trail were not valid. The forester will bend over backwards to help.
