Kirk and Marty continued to discuss the area and answer questions. There was a questions as to what could be placed in the park. Marty stated that a 280 ' informal ballfield would fit well in this area. There was discussion as to placing a 4-way stop at Elm Street and bake Drive, the re-alignment of Highway 49, the impact the alignment would have on the existing development and how it would effect the trail. Marty responded there would be no effect on the development or trail system. It was asked whether the trail would cross the freeway. Marty stated that the trail could not cross the freeway, at the present time, as the bridge does not have pedestrian walkways. George wanted to know where ^. the commercial area was going to be. Kirk Corson pointed out that it was going to be on the North side of Aqua Lane and Lake Drive. Kirk said the commercial area was going to be completed in the future and stated he thought a pizza business or something similar, that would serve the area well, would be built there. There was also discussion on a transportation trail on Lake Drive from the new Park Building to Shirley Kaye' s. Joe thought that there was a deep gully and several single family dwellings along the way so it would be difficult to construct it there. Kirk said he thought the road was going to be widened to a four lane road and would have a 120 ' right-of-way. George stated that this was going to be quite a dense development and we should plan ahead for a transportation trail going South. Marty stated the transportation trail should run on the right-of-way, all the way, and not on park property. Kirk asked Marty about the location of the internal trail. He asked about trail locations, in the development, and stated he felt they were duplicating their efforts with the trails they had to put in. Marty said that the Comprehensive Park Plan requires that there be a trail along Aqua Lane going into the County Park. Kirk wanted to let the board know that they did not intend to make a board walk or put the trail in the wetland area. 2
