There presen[ly is no development at Silver View except for ffie 100 community garden lots that have been plowed. It should be no[ed that staff envisions Silver View to be a major community park with extensive development in the next five years.

The existing development includea a ligh[ed hockey rink, tot lot and park shelter building. Theze are two existing water problems at Woodcrest Park: 1. There is standing water�almost year round in the open ditch running al�ng Silver Lake Road from which staff has received a number ox complaints in the past from a safety standpoint. In addition to the potential safety problem, the site is a breeding area for mosquitoes and is neathetically not pleasing. 2. The entire nor[hwest end of the park ie lowland and atanding water is a continual problem.
