ARDEN MANOR RESIDENT MEETING TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 1999 7:00 P.M. ARDEN MANOR Brief Overview (presented by Mr. Fritsinger) • Letter was sent to all park residents concerning changes to the park. • Arden Manor is one of many parks in the City. Each year the City evaluates all parks and looks to upgrade and replace playground structures. • A playground structure and 1/2 court basketball court is budgeted for 1999 at this park. • There are pond/drainage issues at this park that are costly to address. • This is a concept plan only; the City Council and Parks and Recreation Commission have not yet decided on whether or not to proceed with a project. Input from the residents will be used to assist in the review of the parks potential uses. • Meeting was organized to get residents feedback, comments, suggestions, etc. BRW Presentation • Flooding issues (affect uses and vegetation) • Park Safety Issues: Site must be safe and provide safe routes to all facilities. • Play Structure: Relocate closer to the building to alleviate safety issues. Structure must be ADA accessible. • Walking Trail must provide clear path of travel. • Phase I: - Would include 30' x 80' play structure and concrete 1/2 court basketball court. - Would also include all drainage work where improved facility would be built. • Phase II: - Would include raising the grade of the open field area; possibility to be used as a soccer field. - Perimeter path would provide safe access route and also provide buffer between resident lines and recreation areas. 9 Comments from Residents • It was mentioned that the current baseball field area has severe flooding and drainage issues.
