MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />September 1, 1994 <br />considered for park land is 100' x 359' or .76 acres on the <br />north end of the McNamara property. The Director commented <br />that it is approximately 18$ of the whole parcel. <br />Remerowski felt that McNamara should be contacted for his <br />feedback first. Sanders felt that the City should probably <br />look at the soils and drainage to see if it is a desirable <br />location for a park. <br />Wehrle stated that he envisioned a tot lot, open space, <br />picnic tables and benches in the area. Wehrle felt that <br />Sanders should look at the 100' to see if it works for the <br />City. Wehrle felt that possibly the City may not need <br />property in a certain area and more in another. Remerowski <br />still felt that McNamara's comments should be obtained <br />first. Sanders felt that possibly both could be done at the <br />same time. <br />The Director felt the proposed park land was in the right <br />area, but he questioned how much was needed. Johnson felt <br />that the width needs discussion, but she felt the depth was <br />locked in. Wehrle asked Sanders to contact the City <br />Administrator on the procedure that should be taken. <br />Remerowski felt the City should find out how much the whole <br />parcel is worth. <br />PIONEER & Sanders stated that the contract for the Pioneer Park and <br />WESTWIND Westwind Park trails was awarded to Daily & Sons. He <br />TRAILS indicated that construction would begin in two weeks. <br />Wehrle asked if the homeowners in the area were aware that <br />work will soon begin. The Director stated that the <br />homeowner's in the Westwind area are very anxious to see the <br />trail go in. He felt there was no need to notify the <br />residents about the Pioneer Park trail. However, he will <br />give written notice to the Westwind Park trail residents. <br />SPOONER PARK Sanders stated that request for quotations were sent to six <br />SHELTER contractors. He indicated that they will be bidding on each <br />RE-ROOFING shelter using metal roofing. Sanders felt that dark green <br />would be a good color since it would be more subtle than the <br />others. He stated that the bids are due September 16, 1994. <br />FIELD USAGE The Director stated that while he was calling other cities <br />SURVEY for information, he learned that the Maplewood Parks and <br />Recreation Department is in the process of re-working their <br />policies regarding this matter. In doing so, they have <br />requested the same type of information that we are looking <br />for from neighboring cities and will forward him copies of <br />the information that they receive. He felt this item should <br />be placed on next month's agenda for discussion once all the <br />information is obtained. <br />-7- <br />
