<br /> The Park Board also discussed the comments regarding a full court basketball hoop vs a <br />half court. DeGardner commented that he is not opposed to putting in a full size <br />basketball court however a full size court is very attractive to people not just in the <br />Watermark community and could bring people from other cities into their neighborhood. <br />DeGardner stated one way to offer a full size courts to the residents of Watermark and <br />Lino Lakes would be to put in at Tower Park. He continued that the only other full size <br />basketball court within the entire City of Lino Lakes was located at Rice Lake <br />Elementary School. He also noted that if you add the full court to the existing park layout <br />it would start to impede on the open space. <br /> <br />Mallory Humbert, 2036 Diamond Lane in Watermark, had a chance to comment and <br />represent her neighborhood. Humbert stated that she has spoken with many residents in <br />the Watermark area and they have a Facebook page for their neighborhood as well for <br />people to comment on. She addressed some of the items that had been surveyed. She <br />stated that the Hockey Rink is not needed as there is currently three setup in their area <br />and posts on their Facebook page inviting residents in the area to use them. She went on <br />to address the basketball courts and a need for it versus relying on residents driveways. <br />She stated that driveways are short and slanted. She commented that there will be a few <br />more parks in the development that are being developed that will just be open green <br />spaces. <br /> <br /> Kusterman addressed the Park Board stating that this is a once in a development time to <br />get this right. They have the space, the funding, etc. Kusterman pointed out that although <br />Tower Park is near by getting the funds to build a full size basketball court there would <br />be difficult. DeGardner stated that it is true that obtaining the funds is difficult however <br />he does see a full court basketball court at Tower Park when the funding is available. He <br />did state that right now they have dedication dollars that are available for Watermark <br />Park. <br /> <br /> Huelman addressed Mallory asking if two half-court basketball courts would be needed. <br />She stated that yes, she believes it would get the use. She commented that many of the <br />people moving in are 25yr – 35yrs that are moving in with young families (like babies). <br />She said the most common comments she hears from people is they hope the money is <br />spent on an awesome playground. <br /> <br /> Julie Cutts, Park Board Member, stated that one of the comments that really stood out to <br />her when reviewing the feedback they received from the survey was that people asked if <br />the playground area could be expanded and that they didn’t know how heavily used the <br />green space would be used. Cutts then commented that the playground area did look <br />small in relation to the open lawn space. <br /> <br />DeGardner commented that it seemed like Watermark residents really want to be <br />involved in the playground design and in years past they have received bids and designs <br />from other vendors and opened it to residents to decide. The turnout was low and the cost <br />and time associated with doing that didn’t seem to make sense. However, for this project <br />if those in watermark wanted to go that route and volunteer to receive and look over the
