MINUTES <br />PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION <br />JANUARY 31, 2013 <br />Slain recommended that the Pinetree Pond park charge be taken in cash <br />consisting of $2,600 per lot. <br />Motion seconded by Steinert. <br />Motion carried 5 — 0. <br />FIRE BARNS The Parks & Recreation Director reported that there is nothing new to <br />WARMING report on the fire barns warming house project as the City Administrator <br />HOUSE has not had an opportunity to meet with St. John's to discuss property <br />PROJECT acquisition. This matter will be scheduled for discussion at the March <br />Commission meeting. <br />NADEAU The Park Consultant introduced Chris DesRoches, Flagship Recreation, <br />PARK who presented three different playground options for the redevelopment <br />UPGRADE of Nadeau Park. The equipment is manufactured by Playground <br />Structures. <br />Option #1 was described as a traditional playground structure that is <br />similar to the Thunder Bay playground structure which was installed in <br />2009 or 2010. In addition to the main structure, there are independent <br />climbing pieces and swings. Sullivan asked the age range for the <br />structure. DesRoches indicated that all three options he is proposing are <br />geared for ages 5 to 12. There are some aspects of each option that will <br />appeal to the 2 to 5 year old age group. <br />Option #2 was a concept that combined traditional playground features <br />with modern ones. DesRoches noted that the structure has a lot of <br />climbing features, including a rock, as well as independent features such <br />as swings, a new -style spinner, and mushrooms. He also pointed out the <br />sand area proposed with an accessible digger. <br />Option #3 has a more modernistic appearance and also has independent <br />features such as swings, a spinner, the sand area with accessible digger, <br />etc. <br />DesRoches noted that the colors shown in any of the options can be <br />changed. DesRoches indicated that the color scheme chosen can be one <br />that will blend into the surrounding area or be one that pops out. He also <br />noted that various features of each option can also be changed. <br />2 <br />
