April 18, 1991 Park Board Minutes 3 Scott Johnson said they would keep it but wouldn't get much use out of it. It's a nice open area and there is value in the fact that the people who have homes on the edge will not have homes behind them. Gunderman commented that it will mean more grass mowing for our Park Maintenance Dept. Anderson said that it is his intention not to manicure the slopes. We will let the grass grow. Mowing will be done on either side of the path but probably no more. Rose asked if the access goes out to Silver Lake Road. Scott Johnson said it will. Seward said it is very steep by the church. Anderson said some benches could be put in. The property is still valuable. There is a lot of area at -Hansen Park that is not usable because of low land or water but that is still important to the park. If the pond were a stand alone piece of property, it would not be valuable but it is a nice addition to the park. Rose asked if most of the trees would be taken. Scott Johnson said yes but would be working with the City Forester to save some of the bigger trees and maybe transplant them with the City's tree spade. MOTION BY OLSON, SECONDED BY OCEL, TO RECOMMEND TO THE COUNCIL THAT THE PARR DEDICATION PLAN BE ACCEPTED AS INDICATED. MOTION CARRIED. Gunderman stated that the City Council has concerns about the outlot area. B. Stormwater Retention - Creekview Anderson commented that the area of concern is north of the creek and East of Silver Lake Road. The City is planning major development in the Sunnyside area. Because of the work that is planned in the Sunnyside area the amount of water run off needs to be slowed. The first area the Engineers looked at was to put a sediment pond at Sunny Square Park. Anderson is opposed to this. What has been suggested is that the water be allowed to overflow to the creek area. Some water would be allowed in the free skating at Sunny Square.
