MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE
MOUNDS VIEW PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
May 26, 1994
6: 30 p.m.
Park site visits
CALL TO
ORDER: The site tour began once everyone was present.
ROLL CALL: Commissioners present included Chair Burmeister,
Commissioners Trettel, Starr, Stevenson, Long, and
Silvis. Commissioner Dentz was coaching a game.
Director Saarion and Council member Trude were
also present.
SILVER VIEW
ISSUE: The first visit was to the location of the homerun
balls in the area of the left field of ballfield
#2 . The problem has been balls that go over the
fence and hit the berm skimming into the Manor
Homes. Dented siding has been a result with fears
• of broken windows. Upon discussion of options
including a higher fence, and netting, it was the
recommendation of the Commission that the option
of additional pine trees be looked into as a
natural barrier, hoping to keep the aesthetical
integrity of the park intact.
POTENTIAL
PARK PROP. : The Commissioners next visit was to the property
located on Woodale and Pleasant View Dr. where two
parcels of property are available for purchase.
Director Saarion is preparing a grant for the
possible purchase and development of this
property.
OAKWOOD: On to Oakwood Park to see the new safety fencing
along the players benches. The park was busy with
a baseball game.
GREENFIELD: To inspect the new netting which was installed to
alleviate the foul balls going into the adjacent
neighbor' s back yards.
HILLVIEW: Commissioner Stevenson heard from users that the
reflection of the white rollerblade surface at
• Hillview Park was to glaring in the sunlight. The
white is necessary for efficient and effective
rink development.
GOLF COURSE: The final visit was a tour of the golf course,
practice range and the potential trail for the
park portion.
NEXT MTG. Next meeting will be our annual joint meeting with
Spring Lake Park Commissioners regarding
operations at Lakeside Park beach.
ADJOURNMENT: The Commissioners departed, and because the
meeting did not formally call to order, the
meeting did not officially adjourn. But we all
left anyway!
