Concept C: Additional feedback <br />Open -Ended Response <br />• Stop wasting Citizens time trying confuse them with a rerun of something they already said <br />no to. This is disrespectful. <br />• Do not like this plan, 3rd choice. <br />• Worst design of the 3. <br />• A is the best. This is 2nd best option. And option b just plain sucks. <br />• 1 like this one <br />• This is the winner <br />• In my nnininn Chic is tho nnly rlocian thnt mnlsoc conco <br />• Please upgrade the playground. Orono needs better playgrounds/structures/materials. <br />• Any proposed plans to upgrade the playground? <br />• Would LOVE to see additional benches near the existing playground. Currently it's just tables, <br />benches would enhance for parents. <br />• It would be nice to have the basketball court turned into a pickleball court since there are <br />hardly any people playing basketball. It's currently a wasted space. <br />• A walking path around the park would be nice. <br />• Don't put in a parking lot for cars. Never get rid of the green space or trees for parking. <br />• Leave the mature trees and plant more around the fields. Kids need shade when at sporting <br />events. <br />• And again: This park is unique in our area in that all homes surrounding the park look directly <br />at the park. We love having a view of the green spaces and are a bit nervous about the park <br />becoming overbuilt. Can we just leave it as it is and use our money to fix drainage, clean it up <br />(trees, some grading), and maintain the beauty and peacefulness of the area? <br />• Way is the parking lot not in/out on each end, why can't someone enter/exit from hackberry. <br />How popular is baseball needing two fields in the other designs vs one field here plus a mult <br />use field. The water run off is farther from parents watching children play. <br />• If a second field could be added to corner of mixed use area, this could be an ok concept. <br />• field use doesn't seem maximized but I'm not sure on demand of such spaces so up to city <br />• Pet waste and pets off leash are a big problem at this park. I recommend signage. <br />• Develop a plan with density and play away from the homes. Keep the park for young and <br />challenged. Need relax area., blanket space, bench vs bleachers. Pull the T ball diamonds to <br />the west, put parking with enter on Elm, and exit Maple and curbing on Willow edge. <br />Bathroom on Willow side for contractors, UPS, Garbage drivers etc. Open culver under Willow <br />and put excess water in the swamp. Your plans put high density with people and cars and <br />activity nights. Not all parks need heavy activity. That does not make it a park. Define park <br />and figure out what it should be for density. Put what you don't have elsewhere that attracts <br />low density in people and cars. Keep in mind parent habits and wants and the impact on <br />surrounding areas. We have Willow which is a Responder route, narrow neighborhood road <br />and NO parking signs don't work on activity nights. How about a quiet area to set and veg. <br />• do not support this set up unless you have another field designated that is new for T-ball and <br />Pitching Machine. <br />• I believe we need at least 2 ball fields. <br />• Should be easier plumbing for bathrooms based on old house location. <br />24 <br />
