The PTRC <br />recommendations, which were accepted by the City Council, can be summarized as follows: <br /> Park areas in neighborhoods should include play structures, a gazebo, and off-street <br />parking (located either in lots or in bump-outs along the public street); <br /> Parks should be located nearer to center or at the entrance to residential neighborhoods so <br />that park traffic is not routed through the neighborhood; <br /> An adult athletic facility (softball and hockey) should be located adjacent to a County <br />road. This facility should be lighted and ideally will have shared parking with adjacent <br />businesses. <br /> <br />The City Council also discussed goals for the surface water amenity on April 21. Council <br />comments included: <br /> Pond areas should be well-maintained and should have water present at all times; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br />
