Ms. Hanson asked for a show of hands <br />8 of those who disagreed with a park being put in at that location. <br />9 <br />10 Councilmember Trude asked the size of Hanson's lot. Mr. Belisle owns the park directly west of <br />11 Ms. Hanson's property. <br />12 <br />13 Mayor Linke stated that Mr. Belisle's property is between Hanson's land and the park. <br />14 <br />15 Roy Smith, 3016 Woodale Drive, stated that once his family and <br />16 surrounding families are raised and there was no park and now they want to put a park in. <br />17 <br />18 Mayor Linke explained that the property was not available at that time. <br />19 <br />20 Mr. Smith stated he is opposed to the park because of noise. <br />21 <br />22 Mayor Linke stated that he lives near a big park in the City and does not see the noise problem. <br />23 <br />24 Mr. Smith stated he now can't retire there because of the park. <br />25 <br />26 Mayor Linke asked if Mr. Smith wanted a park when he was raising his kids but Mr. Smith stated <br />27 he had a big yard and didn't need a park. <br />28 <br />29 Mr. Larson stated again that the residents were opposed to the park. <br />30 <br />31 Mayor Linke stated that the Council is looking at the first step which is getting the grant. <br />32 <br />33 Mr. Larson stated that it is almost like the budget hearing where this is not a done deal. Mr. <br />34 Larson stated it can be stopped now and what the people are saying is that we appreciate that your <br />35 telling us about the park but we don't want the parks. Mr. Larson stated that the park <br />36 is not needed. <br />37 <br />38 Gene Erickson, 2948 Woodale Drive, stated that his concerns are that the Council should be <br />39 responsible and good stewards of City taxpayer's tax dollars and wondered if that was a good use. <br />40 Has attended budget hearings and now talking about $25,000 or $50,000 and the other grant money <br />41 is coming out of the other pocket. Facility not needed and area doesn't want it. <br />42 <br />43 Diamond has a fifth grader and has never had a problem accessing any of the parks. What <br />44 happended to ice skating park at Woodcrest? Is it maintenance dollars for park City already has. <br />45 Doesn't see need for another park.
