PAGE 1 PARKBOARD MEETING JULY 6, 1988 OLD BUSINESS : Ary Gearman - update on Park Dedication - Rice Lake Estates: Randy Schumacher addressed this issue. The land for this dedication is all undevelopable ( low land) that Ary is proposing for a ballfield. The parking lot he is proposing is now a platted lot . Ary would like to bring fill in for proper drainage. Randy asked if this all was sufficient park area. Chairman Johnson would accept this proposal if enough fill were brought in to make the proposed land a buildable park and if there is any peet it would also have to be removed. The parking area proposed should be a complete bituminous surface or gravel . Chairman Johnson also wants a tot lot in the area ( in the corner of the proposed park) . After discussion regarding what Chairman Johnson wanted another suggestion was made for a double tennis court instead of softball fields . People living in the area and people moving into the area are 2nd and 3rd time homeowners . Chairman Johnson suggested a poll be taken: Candy Toffoli - Tennis Courts Ken Johnson - " " George Lindy " " Ray Johnson John Bauman " " possibly ballfields later With this poll it was understood that Ary Gearman (developer) would have to put everything in. The Park Board would like: * Play area (tot lot ) with fence * Double tennis courts - on good base (needs fill for these) * Parking lot completed on Lot 1 (Bituminous surface or gravel ) * Positive drainage in area CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT - 1988: $8, 000. 00 in fund PAGE 2 PARKBOARD MEETING JULY 6, 1988 We need ideas to spend this money! !
