Entrance to the Park <br />Mr. Packer noted that one way of viewing the entrance to the park would be that you <br />would want to keep the youngest children which would most likely be at the playground <br />area away from the roadways. Also noted was a possible need for a roundabout in the <br />future near the south side of the park due to traffic and the size of the development. <br />An additional sidewalk connection was suggested to be included in the next design <br />concept for easier accessibility from the street parking to the playground and picnic areas. <br />Berms and Trees <br />Candice Amberg from WSB stated that she was opposed to berms in neighborhood park <br />designs due to obstruction of views and difficulty growing and maintaining plants on <br />berms. The Board agreed that berms were not something they wanted to consider within <br />the park design. The Board liked the concept of having trees planted along the sidewalks <br />which would provide future shade and also add aesthetic appeal. <br />Park Shelter <br />The Board recommended moving the playground slightly southward to allow for a larger <br />open active play area. They also recommended' the pavilion and picnic tables pushed <br />toward the water as opposed to being nearthe street. <br />Conclusion <br />argely, the Board liked design concept #2 with a basketball court, street parking, a park <br />shelter, picnic tables,: and trees planted throughout and along the sidewalks. WSB will <br />return at the next park board meeting with an updated design concept for review. <br />Mr. Packer noted that Watermark Development is planning to construct and complete the <br />park in the first stage of development. <br />8.
