Comments include those from the Commission members <br />as well as members of the audience. Notes are interpretations of the note taker — please report <br />any errors, omissions and/or discrepancies promptly for correction. <br />General Comments: <br />• Skate Park: should be located near lighted and highly visible areas such as by city hall or <br />a busy street. <br />• Assisted Living Housing: there was a comment that the residents would like the active <br />areas by the housing so they could watch what was going on. The playground and splash <br />pad in this area would also be easier to get to and watch when they had kids visiting. <br />• Make sure the green space is large enough for Good Neighbor Days including semi -truck <br />access and this should have proper access. <br />• Questions about the possibility for traffic calming devices or other traffic control at the <br />147th and Finale intersection if it becomes a busy through street later. <br />• Main pavilion should be built up rather than a terraced grass area for amphitheater. <br />• Like secondary, smaller shelters by the playground for shade. <br />• Incorporate room for court space, whether it is tennis, basketball or pickleball. <br />• Ensure proper lighting is incorporated. <br />Concept One: <br />• Ranked 2nd in popularity <br />• Like the main pavilion in close proximity to the parking areas with the recreational <br />amenities located around it. <br />• Some like the playground close to the corner by Subway. <br />• Need more parking directly next to City Hall. <br />• Traffic along Fitzgerald may speed through. <br />• Baseball important, but not impressed with the lack of design elements in the NW corner <br />of the site. <br />St. Cloud • Minneapolis • St. Paul <br />Equal Opportunity Employer <br />wsbeng.com <br />
