Parks Commission Meeting Minutes February 12, 2001 Page 4 V. UPDATE FROM BOB KOST — B R W. 3 Mr. Kost began by explaining further that, based on input from the Fields Subcommittee and the 4 Athletic Director, a decision needs to be made regarding Field Four. Mr. Kost noted that the 5 outfield of Field Four is shared with soccer. For Junior Varsity Baseball to use Field Four so the 6 Athletic Director has more than one field for baseball, Field Four needs to accommodate 90' 7 basing rather than 60' basing. Mr. Hartman explained that the Junior Varsity and Varsity games 8 are scheduled for the same nights due to transportation. El Mr. Kost continued that the accommodation for 90' basing shrinks the size of the soccer field. Kost added that the hockey rink needs to remain in its current location. The soccer field size would be 250' x 165', which is a standard size for players in the age group of 4th grade and younger. Zurbey suggested the option of no permanent boards for the hockey rink and no blacktop in the hockey area, allowing for a larger soccer field. Ganley expressed his agreement with this option. Mr. Kost added that if more emphasis is placed on soccer, the warming house may need to be smaller. Jindra stated that a full size soccer field may be able to be obtained in another area (such as the Apache Plaza area) when it becomes designated in the future which may be the time to go to the 3 permanent hockey boards. Jenson recommended that asphalt not be put down at this point in time. Anderson stated that partial permanent and partial temporary hockey boards would be a possibility. Dunn pointed out that these issues need to be reviewed with Ted Severson. Mr. Kost agreed that an evaluation needs to be made with Ted as to whether there should be four or five full size fields. 2 Jenson noted that three fields are used on a rotation basis in the summer months. Ganley 3 concurred that Ted may be able to give further insight on this matter. It was agreed that Zurbey and Jenson will meet with Ted Severson. Mr. Kost will provide a copy of the plan to Zurbey for the meeting. 8 Mr. Kost went on to review the layout of Central Park, with more of a community area on the 9 north side of the building including flower gardens, flowering crab trees, an area for walking 0 which also includes benches, a play area, a bicycle parking area, and an asphalt trail with 1 concrete edge. Mr. Kost added that the wading pool depth goes from zero to two feet with a 2 square shape. + In response to an inquiry by Jindra as to fountains in the pool, Mr. Kost stated that there is the 5 ability to add a mushroom -style fountain.
