Approved November 4, 2019 Page 2 Jordan Gedrose from WSB presented the new Master Plan with the changes that had been made based of the feedback received from the community at the last meeting. A few things to note are:  Main access point will be off Oakwood. The entrance will have a sign and a doggie pot station.  There will be bituminous trail that will lead to the play equipment (play equipment will be located where current play equipment is now).  A half-court basketball court adjacent from the play area.  Benches will be placed in the concrete plaza that connects the playground equipment to the basketball court.  A split rail fence will be placed between the park and the nearby residential properties as there was some concern that people were entering those residential properties when entering or leaving the park.  A picnic table on a concrete pad has been added.  A picnic table has also been added to open turf area near the playground for additional seating.  A boardwalk has been added to connect the play area to a second entrance on White Pine Road. There will be an entrance sign and a doggie pot station at the boardwalk entrance.  The wetland in the area will be thinned and cleared to offer better views into the park from Oakwood Lane and to improve the overall look for the park.  The looped trail that went around the playground area has been removed from the concept plans due to residents concern that it would be too close to their property line and people would cut through their yard. Cost estimate will be $155,000 (this does not include the boardwalk). There are two options for the boardwalk: A. A boardwalk that is 8ft wide with toe rails and footings on each side $200,000 B. A boardwalk that is a 3ft simple board walk with 3 wooden post that run in segments through board walk with metal stands that rest on the surface with no footings. Cost estimate is $25,000
