Public Informational Meeting on Jaycees Proposal for West Sunfish Park January 19, 1982 Arlyn Christ briefly explained the Jaycee proposal. Public Comments: Jane McNaught 8989 Lk Jane Tr. - lives across from West Sunfish Park - concerned about the number of cars and traffic. Would like to see something done that would be an asset to the children in the neighborhood. Bill Best 8895 42nd St. - this is a start in providing a place for kids to go during the day. Positive start. Arlyn Christ - this will have playground facilities and picnic areas in the future Linda Schneider 469 Cimarron - does not feel this will generate any serious problems that cannot be handled or policed by the Jaycees. Have sponsored many events over the years without serious problems. Jim Dellis 6787 15th St. Ct.- Jaycees plan to put in a permanent sanitary facility Will start in summer of 82 - completed spring 83 Mike Wagner - Opposes the proposal Jim Wright 3524 Lake Elmo Ave- Wildlife will not be bothered by the ball diamonds. Wildlife lived there when the area was used as a dump. Arlyn Christ - No intention of going close to the wooded area. Mayor Eder - When County proposed the landfill the long range use that was proposed was more passive than this proposal. Asked for a response on this more intensified use. Jane McNaught - strongly concerned about the number of cars, and lights in a residential area. Should be developed without any complications to the residents living in the area. Councillor Mottaz no plan has been developed or presented to the Council on this park. All City parks have had a master plan developed first. Plan should be done first, then see if this fits in. Mike Mazarra - a private entity is offering to go in and do some- thing productive. Because of economics the property will most likely remain undeveloped for many years. Proposing to use only 15 acres to a greater extent. Feel this proposal would be of benefit to the City and a reasonable use. Jim Wright - if against from a planning standpoint - how long before a plan will be developed to see if this proposal is compatible or can be improved on.
