Kroeger asked if the slope repair <br /> is needed? Suggested addressing this question as we get further into the project. Does the fence need to be 10 feet high? Lee stated that a 6 foot fence would be the minimum height <br /> due to the possibility of BMX bikes being tossed over the fence to use in the course. The City of Coon Rapids has problems with this because of a 4 foot fence they had. <br />Kroeger asked about the impact of using the emergency door as an exit door to the park. Lee replied that an emergency exit door cannot exit into a fenced area and that the door would <br /> have to be moved. Kroeger stated that the key cost is the surface preparation.

Cracks? Will this need to be repaired too? Definitely need feed back from the residents regarding a skate park <br /> placement.
