-2- <br /> Resident Tom McKay asked the status of the bridge. <br /> Chairperson Burmeister said that financially, it is <br /> not possible at this point. <br /> Chairperson Quick added that we lost funding for <br /> Phase II and III of Silver View Park. <br /> Resident Laurie Trettel said that she doesn't feel <br /> a bridge would stop traffic and feels people should <br /> be able to walk there. <br /> Chairperson Burmeister noted that the 1991 budget <br /> calls for a floating boardwalk. Ed Trettel was <br /> concerned that a boardwalk would obstruct the <br /> wildlife in the area, especially the pheasants. <br /> Several residents expressed concern with the <br /> further development of the softball fields with the <br /> addition of lights. Director Saarion stated that <br /> Silver View Park is a community park serving the <br /> entire City of Mounds View including the adult <br /> softball program and that lighting the softball <br /> fields would greatly enhance the adult softball <br /> program. The softball fields lie in the open <br /> active part of the park and is designed for active <br /> use. <br /> Chairperson Burmeister requested comments from the <br /> 11/ residents regarding the level of maintenance. Mrs. <br /> Golden stated that she wanted a well groomed <br /> appearance and Mr. Trettel wanted a natural <br /> appearance to encourage wildlife. <br /> The Commission requested staff to determine the <br /> ownership of the clump of trees behind the newest <br /> townhome and see that it is not destroyed if at all <br /> possible. In addition, the Commission requested <br /> staff to contact Mary Anderson Construction <br /> Company and request that they clean up the park <br /> and pond area of all building debris. <br /> GREENFIELD PARK Mayor Linke requested that a hedge or fence be <br /> placed along the ditch at Greenfield Park to <br /> prevent basketballs and tennis balls from falling <br /> down into the ditch. Forester Wriskey said he <br /> would plant a hedge along the area. <br /> It was also requested that the Commission send out <br /> a letter to residents surrounding the Greenfield <br /> Park to report any use of three wheelers or dirt <br /> bikes on the park property, as they are damaging <br /> the turf. <br /> PORTABLE CLASSROOM A motion was made by Chairperson Burmeister, <br /> LOCATION seconded by Commissioner Long to place the portable <br /> classroom at Random Park and that a public hearing <br /> be scheduled to discuss the placement of the <br /> building with surrounding residents.
