TO: DON VOLK <br /> FROM: MARTY ASLESON <br /> r'1 <br /> RE: PARK BOARD AGENDA ITEMS <br /> Please find attached two letters from Barry Brainard. As you <br /> know Barry has a wide background in Architectual Drafting, <br /> Building Inspection and Park Design Graphics. After having <br /> worked with- Barry for several years, I thought that it would <br /> work well to have him lay-out our recent concerns. <br /> One of these concerns was to determine where we could place <br /> additional parking spaces at Sunrise Park. I suggested that <br /> we use National Recreation/Parks Association standards on -_ <br /> this project. Barry will have the design at the Park Board <br /> meeting. <br /> The other immediate concern was the cost of building shelters <br /> in parks . I suggested that we look at several scenario. <br /> One would be a standard shelter for a basically non-organized <br /> league, a neighborhood type park where we might be concerned <br /> with providing park and recreation playground needs. Another <br /> c:- extrcac: - say an organized athletic <br /> facility like hockey. In both the above cases we need to <br /> take expected use and provide the approximate space. This is <br /> 1 where the uniform building code enters in. A third scenario <br /> night be somewhere in between these two building sizes . An <br /> example would be a park area where baseball or softball might <br /> be the activity or is the central theme of the park. Here it <br /> would be appropriate to simply provide additional space for <br /> adequate storage the leagues might need. A fourth building <br /> Id �S type that comes to my mind is that where we would want to <br /> provide for a beach house/warming house/summer recreation <br /> building such as one might want to have at Country Lake Park. <br /> )they <br /> Park shelters are expensive amenities, however <br /> are a necessary one for parks and recreation. Hopefully <br /> this report will help to answer your and the park boards <br /> questions concerning this issue. d„ t5 <br /> Sincerely, �S <br /> Ya <br /> A esonYt. of Parks/Recreation <br /> CC: <br /> Ray Johnson William Nissen <br /> George Lindy John Bauman <br /> Renneth ,Johnso Robert Williams <br /> Candace Toffoli <br />
