slide, swing set and parking lot in a mostly swampy area. It has been reported
that 4-wheelers have troubled that park. Mr. Newman expressed that a tot lot
would not only be difficult to maintain, but residents wouldn't care to live next
to one because of the noise. He suggested using land along the lake shore as
a mechanism to tie a bike trail to Kelsey, allow protection of the shore line and
provide a diversity in parks.
The commissioners felt they should improve and maintain the existing park,
not develop a tot lot and were generally in favor of linking a trail system with
Kelsey Round Lake Park.
WAYNE HOLMBERG SKETCH PLAN PARK DEDICATION
The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to review and recommend
the park dedication for the proposed sketch plan for Wayne Holmberg. It is
recommended the dedication to be cash in lieu of land as the proposed plan is
too far south of Ward Lake.
The commissioners would like to pursue this recommendation at the next
meeting.
