I met with this individual on--site in an attenpt to oome up with alternatives/solutions. The letter attached suggests e�cter � Itnoparking areas;" which after meeting, we both agreed would help. Sarah Rhude and her family live in the First house adjoining Floral Park- Her concern is that the park is used on a regular basis by Little Lake Little League. Floral Park does not have a parking lot.- Consequently, cars park along both sides of the street throughout the neighborhood. This creates somewhat of a safety hazard. Sarah Rhude refers to Floral Park as a neighborhood park, which it is. Hawever, all of the parks in Arden Hills are techni ly neighborhood parks. Actually, Floral Park is tied with O mmings Vark for the largest park acreage. Since the city does not have a community park, the neighborhood parks are used for a zwmb-r of city recreation programs as well as youth association games and practices. Floral Park is pxr, a. i antly used as a Little Lakes Little League field. As an organization, Little Lakes has contributed money to install sideline fencing at Floral park in an atteupt to make the playing field safer. 'Mere are 220 kids playing little league baseball from Arden Hills in 1994. All youth associations receive fields according to the number ber of participants from Arden Hills, As you are aware, there are always an insufficient number of fields in Arden Hills to accommodate all parties. The parks Little Lakes can use are limited by what fields are needed by the City's recreational adult and youth - leagues and Mundsview's Girls Fastpitch Association. Given the current demand on our softball fields, if Little Lakes didn't use Floral Park, some other activity would be.planned there- It is not possible to use Floral Park entirely as a practice facility. t
