Anderson showed a map of the park design; it is an unusually shaped park. We must balance what the residents want and need and balance with the New Brighton Park system. The low, water storage area will not be developed. No high noise activities will be planned near homes if possible. The play equipment will be kept away from the road. There will be a .significant number of people in the townhomes to the south. Kinzie asked if the pond takes away from the park land. Anderson did not think it was a significant amount. The City originally owned some of the land. Additions and exchanges will make housing and the park-available. Developers contribute land and/or money for park development. The access trail to the west is 40' wide. Now 5 houses are in the area. There may be space for a soccer or ball field (like Meadowood -elementary size). Innsbruck will be a neighborhood park, not a community park.. The area behind Minar Ford is zoned commercial. It is up for sale, no development is planned now (4-6 acres) 5200,000 mentioned.
