Mayor Linke said <br />9 soil borings would be done. <br />10 <br />11 Councilemmber Trude stated that the trees are on the other side of Pleasant View. <br />12 <br />13 Mr. Mann stated that the property is virtually enclosed by woods. Mr. Mann stated that there has <br />14 never been a comment by anyone who said that it should be rethought out. Would like to hear the <br />15 Council say it would rethink this situation. <br />16 <br />17 Mayor Linke stated that there is a time constraint to work with <br />18 regarding the grant. <br />19 <br />20 Doris Olson, 7200 Knollwood, stated that she has the only through yard from Knollwood to <br />21 Woodale to H. Kids make tracks back there. Boys never found the street until they were 12. <br />22 Doesn't want a park. If a fence is put up they will climb it. 4 children were raised on Knollwood <br />23 Drive and now there is five kids on the block. Not a group <br />24 of kids to use park and around Woodale everyone is retired. There is no use for a park in that area. <br />25 <br />26 Larry Beach, 6951 Knollwood Drive, parked cars near Onan and Medtronic and the people who <br />27 park on the street will park in the park and walk to work. Another concern Belisle's lot was <br />28 cattails and it was a swamp. <br />29 <br />30 Pete Hanson, 7075 Knollwood, stated his concern of traffic flow on Knollwood and Pleasant View and if <br />31 he could get to park on other side of Silver Lake Road he would use that park. People that are there have <br />32 to deal with people coming in to use the park. <br />33 <br />34 Jerry Blanski talked to a person directly across from Woodcrest Park and wondered why <br />35 Woodcrest Park was not developed and brought up to par. Volleyball park not used. Told there <br />36 was no money to do so. <br />37 Is grant money available to do so. <br />38 <br />39 Trude stated this grant is a federal grant. <br />40 <br />41 Dan Lindberg,7188 Knollwood, concern about safety, kicked out a squatter camped in his back <br />42 yard last year and he already considers it a park. <br />43 <br />44 Mayor Linke closed the public hearing. <br />45 <br />46 <br />
