Arnie Ficocello , (representative for Dennis Erickson Bldrs . ) , and their engineering consultant presented to the Park Board their plans with regard to park dedication within the proposed plat for development south of Birch Street . The plans called for 3 . 8 acres of land to be dedicated for park purpose as satisfaction of park dedication . This 3 . 8 acres (approx- imately 10% of the land to be developed ) will be in the southeastern corner of the plat and provide adequate space for a hockey rink and ballfield . The developer and the Park Board felt that this park would be a "neighborhood" park rather than a "community" or "regional" park . Mr . Ficocello stated that Dennis Erickson is considering a "phase two" development to the immediate south of this plat , in which case it is possible that park dedication land could be acquired jest adjacent , creating a connected , central park for the two develop- ments . The developer (per Mr. Ficocello ) plans to bring the 3 . 8 acres to an appropriate grade for park purposes . Any further develop- ment of the actual park , or any equipment to be added would be the responsibility of the City , as would be the maintenance of the park .
