• <br />• <br />May 27, 2011 <br />Mr. Rich DeGardnee <br />Lino Lakes Parks & Recreation <br />Dear Rich, <br />itaa <br />X +� -- A <br />I talked to you on the phone about a month about an idea for small addition to <br />the Clear Water Creek Park. The idea is a place for children, and teens to practice their <br />tennis stroke and coordination by using a plywood 8x24 foot plywood wall. There are <br />many tennis courts that have such a wall to practice on. <br />There is a great location in the park- -that is a 45x45 foot piece of asphalt in which there <br />is a basketball hoop on the north side of the pavement. I would propose having the <br />plywood wall on the east side of pavement. I visited Menards for pricing of materials. <br />Needed: 7 4x4 treated posts, 6 sheets of 4x8 plywood % inch, and about 25 2x4. Also <br />needed cement, posthole digger, and stain. Total cost: $350- -$400. <br />My daughter and son -in -law live right next to the park, very near this piece of <br />pavement. We would be willing to do the installation work and maybe even help at little <br />in the cost. If the Park board would approve such a project and the budget would be able <br />to afford most the cost, that would be great! <br />Also, if you think it would be advisable, I could poll the ten or so of the nearest <br />neighbors to ask how they would feel about such a project. I believe that a number of <br />children want to use this, and I know that my granddaughters would use it almost every <br />day and could become proficient tennis players if they would be able to practice more <br />than once or twice a week on a tennis court. <br />We would appreciate your consideration on this idea. Please feel free to call me: 651- <br />653 -1552 or my son -in -law, Tim Cave 651- 261 -0951, about this idea. <br />Roger Mollet <br />-�1 7 <br />
