<br />Option C will have 7.5-foot perimeter around the pickleball court which may be acceptable. The <br />dual striping on the tennis court is an option as well. <br /> <br />Staff is currently trying to get quotes from multiple contractors but is having some difficulty due <br />to their schedules already filling up. <br /> <br />Other cities in the area have used the dual striping method and found it to be the best option. See <br />the attached survey results from surrounding cities. Considering the current utilization of the <br />tennis courts, the City’s spring tennis program (with many of the participants coming from Little <br />Canada Elementary School), staff is recommending that the courts at Spooner Park be dual striped <br />similar to what is shown in Option D. This option will continue to serve the need of tennis players <br />while also providing the added option of pickleball. <br /> <br />Additionally, there is a bank of cottonwood trees at the southwest corner of the tennis courts that <br />causes problems for the tennis courts. As you know, cottonwoods are a very messy tree so a lot <br />of maintenance is necessary to keep the courts clean. All of the debris that falls on the court also <br />prematurely erodes the court surface painting. There is a clear delineation on the surface <br />between the area affected by the trees and the rest of the court. For these reasons staff would like <br />to explore removing the trees to help preserve the courts and lessen the amount of maintenance <br />necessary. Please see the attached map showing the location of the trees and the attached <br />pictures of the court surface. <br />
