MINUTES <br />PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION <br />MARCH 5, 2020 <br />It was noted that staff will assign a park to each of the Commissioners <br />with the intent of the Commissioners providing a quarterly update. <br /> <br />Chair Miller stated that there was a discussion related to the Spooner <br />parking lot and asked for an update. <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager stated that he walked through the area <br />with the Public Works Director a few weeks ago. He stated that because <br />of the drainage concerns, grading that would be necessary, and the mature <br />trees, it would be difficult to put that parking area in the wooded area. He <br />stated that an alternative would be to add to the existing parking area. He <br />noted that engineering is working to provide some alternates that could be <br />reviewed by the Commission as additional parking is needed in that area. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horwath referenced the cul-de-sac trail connections that <br />connect to the Thunder Bay trail and noted that the plow is piling a large <br />amount of snow at the end of the trail, which cuts off the access. He asked <br />that those spaces be included for clearing in the City’s snow plan to allow <br />resident access to the trails. <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager commented that as a former plow <br />driver, it is difficult for plows to clear that cul-de-sac. He noted that <br />priority is given to the driveway and hydrant. He stated that he could <br />follow up with public works. <br /> <br /> <br />Horwath moved the meeting be adjourned <br /> <br />Motion seconded by Schletty. <br /> <br />Motion carried 7 – 0. <br /> <br />There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:18 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Amanda Staple <br />TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. <br />ADJOURN
