MEh10 T4: Mark .� ,V .U"' � <br />FRObi: Bruce �'G`F�� � <br />DATE: August 11, 1978 <br />RE: Re-location of Lambert Park Shelter Building <br />As you're 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 />will be delivered around August 15, 1978. (reference memo dated <br />July 25, 1978 to Park and Recreation Commission). <br />I have been working with Air. 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 factors, we have <br />determined that the attached plan will best utilize the existing <br />site given the existing limitations. <br />In 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 close to the road. <br />3. The psoposed tot lot location provides optimum site <br />utilization, as the narrow strip of land (30`) sauth of <br />the hockey rink 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 will be able to re-locate the existing water pipes for <br />flooding next to the building which will 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. ba21 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. Semple House movers can move the building in 4 hours at <br />ru� estimated cost of $175 - $200. <br />
