Mr. Hill noted that the Planner indicated the designated park areas were to small for prac- tical use. He asked what would happen to these areas if they were not used for parks. He was told if would remain open space. Mr. Hill suggested the Park Board should see this concept. The cul-de-sacs were discussed. Mr. Mangnuson was asked why the street didn't loop around the back and meet the other street with the cul-de-sacs thereby eliminating both cul-de-sacs. Mr. Mangnuson said some of the land near the lake was very low and it would cost alot to con- struct that part of the road. Mr. Hill felt that the present layout was nice looking. Mr. Gourley noted the several items that need clarification: 1. Item 6 in Mr. Short's letter. This could not be located in the ordinance. 2. Investigate with Mr. Gotwald a looping street instead of two cul-de-sacs. 3. Provide topographical maps of the entire court. 4. If the cul-de-sacs are retained they should be 50' in radius. 5.
