They asked to sit through the entire meeting to get ideas as to how the Park Commission works and what they deal with. The Chairman briefed them on what has been done and wbat projects are in the works for the future. HOOD LAND TERRACE Curt Adams presented a concept plan for Woodland Terrace in order to get the Park and Recreation Commission's thoughts and comments regarding this olano He stated that the work would be done in 2 phases for spring of 1985. The original plan included twin homes and quads but they are redoing this to combine the project with the existing bomes and also with a later plan in Coon Rapids. The new design was set up to enhance the area along with direct access in order to prevent children from having to cross the busy street along with a pedestrian walk way, soccer field, tennis court, ball field and a pond (to enhance beauty of area and also as a holding pond). Prochniak asked if the Park Commission could have a copy of the plan and Adams stated that the total layout had not been totalled and that this was just a concept plan. Prochniak stated that the plan seemed as though it would be difficult for the City to maintain and LeFebvre said that we have a small Public Works staff. Kinkade stated that he did not care for the holding pond. Adams stated that it would only hold water for a day or two and that it would not be very deep at all. Kipkade also stated that there would probably be a demand for fences because of the walkways. Adams stated that the walkways would be blacktopped with shrubs on the sides. The Commission felt that they would like to see a nice park covering less area. NORTH GLEN 2nd ADDITION The Chairman will get in touch with the representative of Good Value and the Secretary was asked to do some more research into the matter.
