� / <br />MEbIO TO: Mark V i <br />FROhf: Bruce �(jF <br />DATE: August 11, 1978 <br />RE: Re-location of Lambert Park Shelter Building <br />As you'ze aware we have budgeted �3,500.00 for the development <br />and installation of a tot lot at Lambert Park. To that end we <br />have purchased ;2,892.00 of Big Toy playground equipment which <br />rill be delivered around August 15, 1978. (reference memo dated <br />July 25, 1978 to Park and Recreation Cowaission). <br />I have been working with bir. Frank Kampel, during the past two <br />months developing a master concept plan for Lambert Park. After <br />reviewing and weighing each of the many design faetors, we have <br />determined that the attached plan will best utilize the existing <br />site given the existing limitations. <br />Ia order to implement such a plan, the present building location <br />will have to be moved approximately 225' north to the proposed <br />location. . � <br />The rationale behind the proposed location is as folloWS: <br />1. Better access to the park user, especially the vehicular <br />traffic. <br />2. The existing tot lot in addition to being un-aesthetically <br />pleasing, is too ciose to the road. � <br />3. The proposed tot l.ot location pro��ides optimum site <br />utilization, as the narrow strip of land (30') south of <br />the hockey rinl: cannot accommodate.any other activity. <br />4. The existing slope on Jackson Drive provides a natural <br />visual and noise barrier from the existing residences. <br />5. We xill be able to re-locate the existing water�pipes for <br />� flooding next� to the building which wili eliminate an <br />existing safety and visual factor. <br />6. The proposed tot lot location has an ideal relationship <br />with the existing facilities, i.e. ball field, hockey <br />rink and building. � � - <br />7. The existing tot lot equipment would be removed and the <br />area will be used as off street parking rather than <br />continuing the use of the grass out fiel�d. <br />Staff has been researching the feasibility of moving the building <br />and has determined the following: <br />1. Somple House movers can move the building in 4 hours at <br />an estimated cost of $175 - E200. <br />
