Approve Minutes From September 8, 2004 Meeting <br />Weidt made a motion, Clarke seconded, to accept the Minutes from the September 8, 2004 Parks <br />Commission Meeting. <br />All Aye. Motion Carried. <br />II. Creekview Preserve Neighborhood Meeting <br />Public Works Director Chris Petree provided a presentation to the Park Commission and sixteen <br />residents that were in attendance on behalf of the Creekview Preserve neighborhood. Petree <br />presented the possible location of the park, a budget amount for the park and a possible timeline for <br />construction. The Park Commission then asked residents to share their opinions of the possible <br />park site. The comments were as follows: Concerns: speed on 159th St. N., parking, safety issues <br />and a trail connection to 157th St. N. Positives: Would prefer a park in that area compared to the <br />water tower site, would like to see a play structure for ages 2-12 and would like to be involved as <br />layouts and colors are selected. By a unanimous show of hands all residents in attendance were in <br />favor of the park going in with the necessary traffic control being installed. Petree informed the <br />residents that the City will contract with a Park/Landscape Designer to help with the layout of the <br />park and the Park Commission will invite the residents back in a few months to help make decisions <br />on the layout of the park and what amenities are included. In the meantime, the City will begin <br />preparing the site for the park this fall by hauling in the necessary fill to the site. <br />III.
