Parks Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2000 Page 4 1 Zurbey asked if the south property line of the park would work for the structure. Mr. Hubmer 2 noted the south portion of the park would work as well. 3 Skrivseth indicated she would not be in favor of the pavilion on the south portion of the park 4 because it would eliminate the ability to walk the perimeter of the park. Mr. Hubmer indicated 5 he felt the shelter would not interfere with the walking paths. 6 Jindra asked if parking could be placed on the service road. Mr. Hubmer noted Hennepin County 7 does not allow for parking on this roadway. Mr. Hartman added that residents in the area are 8 threatening to place a gate on the service road to keep people from parking on the service road. 9 Zurbey noted parking was an issue near all parks. He indicated all residents that live near parks 10 need to accept this. Zurbey indicated it is for the safety of children using the park that lots are 11 being created. 12 Jindra indicated the City has been interested in purchasing a home near this park to acquire land 13 for additional parking. 14 Mr. Hubmer noted the Commission needs to address the location of the pavilion to address 15 concept plans and components desired by the Commission. He asked if the Commission was in 16 favor of placing the structure in the middle of the park or near the south property line of the park. 17 Jindra asked for the wishes of the Commission as to the location of the pavilion within this park. 18 Zurbey indicated concern for children climbing on the roof of this structure if located near the 19 south property line, as the structure would be built into the hill. Mr. Hubmer indicated the 20 roofline could be fenced off to remove this liability and danger. 21 Motion by Jensen, second by Hallada, to recommend the placement of the pavilion on the south 22 side of the park near the property line. 23 Motion carried unanimously. 24 Jindra noted she had concern with the drainage at Silver Point Park. Mr. Hubmer noted this issue will be 25 addressed this spring because much of the run off from 29" street has been running into the park. 26 VI. REPORTS 27 A. Community Services. 28 Skrivseth noted she wants to make sure Community Services are kept in mind when the shelter 29 and picnic areas are developed for Central Park to allow for all programs to continue as 30 scheduled.
