Ayes 4, <br /> Nays 0, 1 Abstain, Flint, who was not at the meeting. <br /> (#2) CRYSTAL BAY PARK <br /> McMillan presented the 2nd conceptual plan for the park. She noted that the layout for a <br /> tennis court was an overlay as the court might be an option that is eliminated or <br /> considered at a future time. A tennis court is costly (about $15,000-$20,000) and lower in <br /> priority than other desires for the park design. McMilian noted that the plan did not show <br /> any additional playground equipment. The present equipment will be assessed for usability <br /> and desirability. The neighbors' input into what playground equipment they desire for the <br /> park is needed. The equipment is presently laid out amongst the trees and considered to <br /> be in a good setting. It was felt that the wallcway area would get a high amount of traffic <br /> as people now enjoy using the walkway from the post office. <br /> McMillan said the plan would be phased in over a few years with fencing and the playfield <br /> being the priority items. Gerhardson said a split rail fence originally under consideratian is <br /> a high maintenance fencing. A need to deternvne an alternative to this type of fencing as <br /> well as the cost will be among the first issues to be decided. There will be plantings placed <br /> in front of the fencing. The fencing will run from the northeast corner on Crystal Avenue <br /> going sauth on Brown and end just north of the post office. There will not be any fencing <br /> along Arbor Street nor the southern portian of the park. <br /> The gazebo shelter and courtyard received positive feedback. The Commissioners <br /> recommended seeking donations from interested parties in the community. All funding <br /> will need approval from the City Council. <br /> 1 <br />
