Concept #3 described as a more formal concept: <br />• Parallel parking along the northern road <br />• Playground is up in the NW corner <br />• Ball field /open green in center <br />• Tennis courts along open green area but still pretty far from residential areas <br />• Overlook by wetland <br />Design Items Discussed <br />Parking <br />Mr. DeGardner encouraged discussion regarding the parking=lot versus the bump out on <br />the street for street parking. Mr. Rick Packer said that he had no preference either way at <br />this time and he invited the Board membersto give their opinions. <br />It was noted that a parking lot may possibly invite additional non -neighborhood traffic to <br />a neighborhood park. Also noted' Were the flow of traffic to and from the park, and the <br />convenience of the parking locations tothe playground and other high use areas of the <br />park. <br />The Board debated and ultimately recommended that the bump out for street parking <br />should be incorporated into the next park design concept. <br />�e Board talked about the location of the playground area and the court area in relation <br />o noise factors and the surrounding homes. <br />Basketball and tennis courts were debated as being included in the park design. The <br />Board discussed and compared other parks they're familiar with in surrounding areas and <br />what amenities that are available in those parks. Future maintenance requirements of the <br />courts were also discussed. <br />The overall consensus was that basketball courts would have more use than tennis courts <br />and that a basketball court should be included in the park design. <br />Park Board Minutes <br />March 2, 2015 <br />Page 1 3 <br />
