Disc Golf Course — At the July 26, 2007 meeting the Commission directed Staff to identify costs associated with the bridges and parking lot. There are three bridges that are proposed. The City currently has two of the bridges. The plan for the 3`d bridge would be to have it built by Stillwater Correctional Institute inmates. Costs estimates associated with this 3`d bridge are still being developed. The parking lot is roughly estimated to cost $30,000. This estimate was based on the cost estimate developed for the Sysco Outlot A Property which included a six stall parking lot and a somewhat lengthy two-way driveway lane to the parking lot ($31,300 from January 2006 feasibility report). The cost estimate was also based on the cost estimate for the proposed Hillview Park parking lot ($28,700 for fourteen stalls accessed directly off of Hillview Road and concrete sidewalk).
