MINUTES Planning Commission July 12, 1984 Parks (Cont.) Mrs. Timmons commented that the Parks Commission does the work in this area. Timmons also pointed out that the City does not own any park land. Council Agendas Richards Matter Mr. DeLonais asked if anyone has approached the School District about Spooner Park. Mrs. Kingsbury replied that the School District has been approached and they refused to sell the park. Mr. DeLonais stated that the City should not be in the business of promoting ball tournaments for outsiders. DeLonais was also concerned about taking a lot of property off the tax rolls. Mrs. Timmons commented that there are a lot of children who need parks and that the City must maintain a standard of living for its residents. The Planner also pointed out that park land would be purchased from park charges that the City collects. Mrs. Timmons pointed out that the Park Commission has a member of the Council at its meetings and felt that the Planning Commission should have Council representation. Mrs. Kingsbury requested that the Planning Commission members receive a copy of the Park Commission minutes. Mrs. Kingsbury commented that the Planning Commission received copies of Council agendas for a very short time and then this was discontinued. Kingsbury requested that this be done on a regular basis. Mrs. Timmons expressed concern that Mr. Richards was issued a building permit for his pool and fence and then after it was installed, Mr. Richards was told that the pool is not within setbacks. Timmons felt that the location of the pool should have been known to the City before the pool went in and the Building Inspector would have discovered the problem before the pool was completed. Palmen PUD The Planner reported that the Palmen PUD request is withdrawn at this time, but Mr. Palmen is working on another proposal. Page —10—
