ITEM: Heights Neighborhood Park Planning Meeting
SUBMITTED BY: Carol Kriegler, Project Assistant
_________________________________________
SUMMARY:
A neighborhood park planning meeting is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, May 7 for the residents of Heights Park. The physical layout of this park is unique in that it’s considered
a “flag lot”. The park has minimal road frontage and is surrounded by homes. This layout creates a particular challenge in balancing neighborhood / public park access verses adjacent
home owner’s privacy and protection.
In August 2005 and December of 2006, the Parks Commission received park improvement surveys that were conducted by members of the neighborhood. The results of the surveys were somewhat
conflicting and may reflect the need to balance the need for neighborhood park access with homeowner privacy and protection. Summaries of the two surveys are attached for review.
In addition, staff will provide a history of the neighborhood development, and the history of plans for improvement.
ACTION REQUESTED:
None. The Park Commission is being
briefed on the history of Heights Park in preparation for a neighborhood park planning meeting scheduled for Wednesday, May 7.
