A play equipment layout, site plan, and grading plan were presented to the Commission and <br />neighborhood residents. The layout was based on the play equipment plans that were provided by Jay <br />Webber, of Webber Recreational Design, previously Miracle Recreation. The total cost for providing <br />the play equipment with tax and delivery, 2 days supervision, and the wood fiber needed for resilient <br />surface was quoted at $32,820.00. This project will be installed with volunteer help and other <br />expenditures will be required. Concrete footings, equipment rental, wood timber edging, landscape <br />fabric, trash receptacles, benches, an accessible picnic table, a bike rack, and signage for the park will <br />be included in the final costs. <br />After the Park Commission Meeting the City Council authorized $45,000 for this project. A letter was sent <br />to Jay Webber on May 3 authorizing purchase of the equipment. <br />The developer for Beaver Ponds has agreed to grade the site for the play area, and to construct the bituminous <br />trail. The grading will occur prior to playground installation; it will be desirable for the contractor to <br />excavate the 12 inches of material from the play area and this will be discussed with them. The <br />bituminous trail will be paved after the play structure is in place. <br />II. Everton Avenue Park and Open Space Planning: The final plan for the greenway and wildlife <br />corridors, the neighborhood park, and the trail plans were presented to the commission. A parkway <br />idea and connection to downtown was also discussed. The Commission supports the plan. A <br />discussion of how park property would be acquired in the area took place. The suggestion to be more <br />aggressive and purchase land was discussed. This concept needs to be balanced with the park <br />dedication requirements that are in place and with the current value of developable land. <br />http://www.ci.hugo.mn.us/Parks—Recreation/minutes/Parks04l 10 I.htm 10/3/2007 <br />
