Unfinished Business: <br /> <br />Parks Promotional Video – Any further discussion / coordination for the Parks Promotional Video. <br /> MVCC, Oakwood, Lakeside, Hillview, and Lambert are left to shoot. MVCC after December meeting. <br /> <br />Disc Golf Course – The Commission directed staff to prepare a rough estimate for cost of foot bridges; and a bottom line cost estimate for the three options of 9, 12, and 15-hole courses <br /> for this meeting. An updated spreadsheet of the estimated costs has been completed and include foot bridges and a parking lot. 9-hole: $54,860; 12-hole: $53,180; 15-hole: $65,500; <br /> 18-hole: $75,820 <br /> <br />The 9 hole course could be a problem to make user friendly because of the elimination of the southern holes. It would end at a substantial distance from the 1st hole, leaving a long <br /> walk back to the car. <br />The 12 hole is very user friendly and requires only three bridges. A 15' bridge on the 4th hole, a 15 footer on the 9th hole, and a 20' bridge on the 10th hole. We can plan on $500.00 <br /> per bridge <br />The 15 hole course does not require any additional bridges over the 12 hole course. <br /> <br />The Commission also directed Staff to contact the City’s Forester, Rick Wriskey, for a quantitative tree impact. Rick Wriskey reviewed the site on November 14th. Mr. Wriskey reported <br /> that minor removals would be necessary. <br /> <br />Concerns by the commission include cost, neighborhood reaction, unexpected funds toward Lakeside Park playground. We want to see what residents want done about the park as well as other <br /> ideas the community may have to spend park money on. If not an additional disc golf course, then what? We will put in a segment in the Mounds View Matters asking for input from residents <br /> to come to the January meeting to discuss possible ideas.
