Minutes Parks & Recreation September 5, 1996 bathrooms at the shelter areas. Remerowski stated he felt that this is not the time to criticize the plan, now that the plan is pretty much finalized. He stated if we were going to criticize, maybe we should have gotten on the shelter committee.

Sanders did not envision the area individually as a park property. Greger asked if either location is suitable for building a home. Sanders stated the land at Lake Street and Park Street is not suitable for building, and he felt the Ruth Street land had possibilities for building. Remerowski added that the Ruth Street lot is the lot that Jim Gustafson discussed maintaining for neighborhood children during the 8
