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