MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS <br /> l CLQ • <br /> FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR <br /> • PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> DATE: MAY 2, 1990 <br /> SUBJECT: GREENFIELD PARK BASEBALL FIELD FENCING <br /> The City has designated $14,000 of budgeted funds in the Parks Fund to improve the <br /> Greenfield baseball field. The MVAA has indicated that increasing the distance of the <br /> field is their first priority. <br /> Staff has requested bids for field fencing renovations to include the following: <br /> - Bring back the backstop to the path, a distance of 10 - 12 feet. <br /> - Remove all fencing and realign to: <br /> 1. 300 feet - left field. <br /> 2. 360 feet - center field. <br /> 3. 250 feet - right field with a 12 foot fence height. <br /> • 4. Curving fence to swerve around the 3rd base players bench. <br /> To accommodate this expansion: <br /> - Three trees must be removed in left field. <br /> - The horseshoe pits must be moved. <br /> - A portion of the path in the left field corner must be removed. <br /> - The bleachers could be moved to the right side of the batters box which would <br /> require the berm to be leveled. <br /> Staff has received requests for moving the bleachers so that sun glare is not a <br /> problem. This could easily be done, but staff foresees opposition from the immediate <br /> residents. The bleachers would be close to their backyards posing as an eyesore and <br /> barrier. Opposition in the past was given for the location of the portable restrooms in <br /> this vicinity. For this reason, staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission suggests <br /> that a letter be written informing the residents of this proposal. <br /> • <br /> -2- <br />
