The minutes were approved as amended. . k • k. L. k • L Steve informed the citizens that Pebble Creek Park would be considered a neighborhood park and explained the criteria established for neighborhood parks. Ric displayed a map showing where the potential park site would be located adjacent to the elementary school. Ric stated that the Jack & Dorothy Miller Park, adjacent to Rock Prairie Elementary, has been very successful and is similar to what would be constructed in Pebble Creek. The park property consists of approximately 4 acres, with an additional six belonging to the school, creating a 10-acre park. Ric mentioned that various school officials have been consulted to get their ideas on what the students from the school would like to see at the park. He mentioned that he would have several plans for citizens to look at, at the next public hearing. There is $200,000 identified for this park. Parks&Recreatopm Department Regular Meeting-Public Hearing October 10,1995 Page(2) Pete explained and showed some of the feature's that are typical in a neighborhood park. He mentioned that some possible features could include a playground, with a • cushioned service for handicap accessibility, jogging trail, practice fields, basketball court, volleyball court, area lighting,small gazebo, and landscaping. One visitor asked if the school district was helping build the park financially. Steve stated no, but said that the city is using some of their land to build the park on. Jessica Hodges asked how much the fitness centers were used, she would rather see funds used to create large walking trails. Pete stated that the fitness center is used frequently at Brothers Pond Park and that some of that equipment is currently being replaced. Trisha Borena would like to see some toddler swings and some slides for those that are three years old and younger. Maureen Hawkinson would like to see some half basketball courts to allow the smaller kids more playing time. She doesn't think they could utilize a full court as well because of the distance of running back and forth. Camille Bunting wanted to know if the open area of the park could be extended into the Business Park. She stated that the area there,is quite barren. Pete stated that he would have to check with Development Services because that area may be designated for something else. ) Ralph Smith would like to see a half basketball court with lights so that kids can play later in the summer. Kim Stuart inquired about rest rooms. Steve mentioned that those are not normally provided in neighborhood parks due to the close proximity of the users' homes. Kiki O'Shea stated that if rest rooms were provided, it could attract users from outside that subdivision. Tom O'Shea was concerned about the quality ,.of the playground equipment. He doesn't want to see equipment that deteriorates, in an unsafe manner. Steve stated that the department tries to purchase equipment that is safe and durable, with a 20- year life span, if possible. Mr. 0"Shea would also like to see adjustable-height basketball hoops. Patsy Tegeler would like to see adequate lighting for added safety for late night activities, such as walking. Steve stated that there is a city ordinance that states an eleven o'clock curfew for neighborhood parks. Steve mentioned that one of the major expenses to the park will be the trees and the irrigation system that will aid in the survivability of the trees. He also mentioned that if funds are not adequate to build everything wanted, designated space could be left open for additional courts or amenities at a later time. Parks&Recreation Board Regular Meeting October 10, 1995 Page(3) Mark Reedy was concerned about the conflict between the small and larger kids on playground units. He would like to see different play sites for both of them so there will be less conflict. He also asked if families could use the park while school was going on. Steve stated yes. Mr. Reedy also wanted to know who to call if the park needed something fixed or if it needed to be mowed. Steve stated that normally the Parks Department is the entity that takes care of the park and its equipment, and they should be called first for any problems that arise, Susan Stahley asked about the colors on the playground unit, and suggested using lighter colors that generate less heat. She also asked if users would be able to use the rest rooms in the school. Steve stated that he did not know, that would be up to the school. Jessica Hodges also suggested that the playgrounds be split up for toddlers and the older kids. This helps diminish the conflicts. • The following is a list of amenities and the show of hands in favor of the item. Signage - no objections; pavilion, basketball court-(1-full, 2-half), walkways, area lighting, drinking fountain, practice fields, and landscaping/trees -were all unanimous; playground - 11; volleyball court. - 10; picnic units -3; exercise stations - 2; and rest rooms -O. Mayor Ringer mentioned that rest rooms are a natural attraction for vandalism. After some discussion the majority agreed that they did not want to see rest rooms at the park.

Parks&Recreatoprn Department Regular Meeting-Public Hearing October 10, 1995 Page(4) VI. • ek : k Bob mentioned that he had a discussion with Ross Rogers regarding the track at Tiger field. Mr. Rogers stated that they were thinking about repaving that track. Bob mentioned that the city was discussing the possibility of training employees to lay down the cushioned track material. Mr. Rogers was not,acceptable to the idea of hiring the city to lay the track for them. Carol mentioned that if that happened maybe the school would be more acceptable of the public using their track. She stated that there is a sign that says not to use the inner lanes. Bob stated that the school may close that track when the junior high gets their track Bob mentioned that the school will be putting in a girl's softball field across the street from the football stadium. He said that they may request the use of the Bee Creek softball fields for practice. Bob mentioned that maybe we could ask for the use of their baseball or softball fields in exchange for the use of the cities', Greg asked if anyone had seen any park related product from the HOK firm. Steve mentioned that the Planning employees are extremely disappointed thus far with the work from HOK regarding their work. Steve stated that hopefully there will be more information provided at the joint meetings with HOK. Debra inquired about Wolf Pen Creek, Steve mentioned that the dredge left when they completed their contract, which was for forty days. He mentioned that after the dredge left, Pete Vanecek and Ross Albrecht measured the depth of the fake, which, in most places, was 3-4 feet deep. Steve mentioned that a heavy rain will most likely creat another sand barge. He stated that until some drainage work is done upstream, the fake will continue to be the holding area for the sediment. Steve stated that a user fees subcommittee needed to be formed. Bob and Debra agreed to sit on that committee. VIII.
