MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 14, 1991 over the past few years. Keis stated that he was not an advocate of a full -time Recreation Director, and pointed out that there are alternatives that could be considered. Drabik stated that rather than Pioneer Park, she would have rather seen smaller neighborhood parks. Garske again stated that he feels the City has enough park property, and should work on the parks the City has. Keis noted that the Park Master Plan is a recommendation to the City Council. The Council can support the document as submitted, or make changes. Garske stated that he did not oppose parks if the City has new business coming in to support it. DeLonais stated that he was not against parks, but just wanted to see a map detailing the location of parks and trails. Keis noted that the Park Commission did not put the Master Plan together because of DeLonais' request for a map, but rather because it was a document that was needed by the City. The City Planner suggested that in order to make the Plan an effective implementation tool for the Park or Planning Commissions it should be more explicit, identifying improvements in a specific area. For example, rather than just proposing a trail along a roadway, the Plan should spell out the details such as exact location, size, etc. The Planner agreed that it was important to go through the Park Master Plan process, rather than just developing a map. The public needs to know why a park was put in a specific place. DeLonais asked if there was a copy of the Comprehensive Plan with the additions that have been made since it was adopted. The Planner replied that while there have been additions to the Comp Plan over time, the document itself has not be amended to include these additions. Pedersen asked if there should be more coordination between the Park and Planning Commissions. Page 8
