The minutes will be on the April meeting agenda for appr�val. <br /> (#2} CRYSTAL BAY PLAYGROUND <br /> McMillan reported that the playground plan was evaluated by Shardlow(Cathy) regarc3ing <br /> the location of the basketball cc�urt and skating rink. A letter was sent t� Commission <br /> members on her findings. The middle section of the park near the �razebo area is preferred <br /> due to several reasons: The nearby gazebo would enable spectators to watch the skaters; <br /> seating would be available for skate removal; poles are available for tighting; and na <br /> e�ensive grading of land would be required. Also, Judy of the post office preferred more <br /> contralled-type activities to eliminate balis and children from running into the parking lat <br /> area. The planner said as long as proper ctrainage is maintained, the ground could be <br /> seeded in the spring to allow for a�rassy area in the summer. Gerhardson commented <br /> that berms could be instalied around the perimeter if needed because the location was near <br /> a storm sewer and water could b�piped in. These costs would be figured into the <br /> operating budget. McMillan su,�ges#ed aerating the ground and seeding at the same time. <br /> The size of the rink is not yet determined and can easily be changed. <br /> McMillan said that David Owen of Earl Anderson Consuitants will look at the existing <br /> play equipment and report back in a caaple weeks with a plan incorporating the ideas and <br /> feedback given by the Commissioners. <br /> The development of the park will be completed in twa phases. The first phase wtll include <br /> the wood fence on the north and east sides, cleaning up the playfietd, plantings along the . <br /> post office, parking lot, and fence, and the ec�uipment improvements. The parking lot wiil <br /> be completed this year. Phase two will concentrate on the gazebo, basketball court, and <br /> skating rink in the mid-section area af the park. <br /> 1 <br />
