Jerry Scidmore and Dave Fisher spoke to the HACKBERRY HILL PARK
Commission concerning Hackberry Park. They
are residents of the immediate area and wish to
have a large dirt pile levelled or removed
from the park. It is too steep to be a safe
sliding hill and also too steep to be maintained
by mowing. It seems to be unsafe and also does
not fit the natural terrain.
Lathrop moved, Berglund seconded, to regrade
the hill because of safety and maintenance
problems. Motion, Ayes (5) - Nays (0) .

distributors to make presentations at that
time.

posts are to be installed at Bederwood Park

The Park Commission considered the Ivy Lane IVY LANE
(Long Lake Fire Lane) use by the surrounding
homeowners.

with the Planning Commission recomriendation

recomrnend that no permanent structures be
allowed and that use of the area be discouraged.
It is difficult to maintain and to police.
