MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />January 6, 1994 <br />the day light, it would be impossible to stagger the games <br />since they would not be able to fit all the games in. The <br />Director also felt that it could be confusing for the <br />leagues that play. Wehrle thought that the Director should <br />at least try some different options. <br />The Director stated that the parking problem at Pioneer Park <br />is on the Centerville Road side since that is considered the <br />entrance to the park. He indicated that people have been <br />illegally parking causing the lot to become congested. <br />Wehrle asked how much temporary parking could be added on <br />the Centerville Road side. Sanders stated that possibly 15 <br />to 20 stalls could be added on the north end. <br />Holm stated that soccer has become more popular in Pioneer <br />Park too. <br />The Director stated that at other parks in surrounding <br />communities, parking is available on the street. Johnson <br />wanted to know why parking is not available on the street at <br />Pioneer Park. The Director stated that there is no shoulder <br />on Centerville Road. However, parking would be possible on <br />DeSOto Street, but it is currently marked no parking due to <br />the home owners' requests in the area. Holm stated that <br />parking on the street on Centerville Road would be very <br />dangerous. <br />Hartmann suggested moving the soccer field to the Desoto <br />Street side to help the parking problem. Sanders stated <br />that there is not enough room. Wehrle stated that a <br />solution to the problem would be to add more temporary <br />parking on the Desoto Street side and have the Sheriff tag <br />cars illegally parked on the Centerville Road side, but it <br />would not be very neighborly. <br />Wehrle felt that some methods other than added permanent <br />parking should be tried before 1996 to help the parking <br />problem in Pioneer Park such as explanded overflow parking <br />on Desoto Street or tagging illegally parked cars. Hartmann <br />did not feel that street parking on Desoto Street would <br />solve the problem since the problem is on the Centerville <br />Road side and the Desoto Street residents do not want the <br />on-street parking. The Director stated that Desoto Street <br />was built wider to allow for parking on the street. <br />Wehrle felt that alternatives to added parking at Pioneer <br />Park should be tried. <br />-8- <br />
