The Director felt that the use of the <br />ball fields will have to be cut back if additional <br />parking is not provided. The Director indicated that <br />he could reschedule some of the adult teams and hope <br />that they will accept that. <br />Scalze felt that parking on an unpaved area of the park <br />was acceptable as an emergency measure for LCRA <br />tournaments, but felt that some of the adult teams <br />needed to be rescheduled for the 1993 season. <br />Morelan pointed out that the City's own zoning code <br />required additional parking, and the addition of 35 <br />spaces will not bring the parking into conformity with <br />the code.
