Cummings Parer. Concept Plans At the November $0, 1981 Parks Committee meeting, Planner Orlyn • Miller had presented various concept plans for development of Cummings Park to the Committee . After reviewing and discussing all options, Committee had unanimously recommended that Concept Plan 3 be recommended to Council for approval , with grading, seed- ing and bail fields hopefully done in 1982 . At this meeting, Miller presented Concept Plan 3 Indicating location of ball fields, hockey areas, plantings, other use areas desired by the Committee . He also presented an alternate concept, which would place the smaller of the two ball fields at the north end of the park, and move tennis court, picnic area; etc . to Control Data side of the park . (Concern had been expressed about neighborhood nuisance If tennis courts were located in north end . ) Miller explained that the plan chosen would be the master plan for future development; grading of the entire area to be developed would take place this summer. In the alternate concept plan, grading would be somewhat mor3 expensive, parking less accessible. However, some Committee members felt the smaller bail field would then become more of a neighborhood flefd tan advantage) and some ;aciilties desirable for Contro Data employees mor« accessible to them. There Was some feeling that league play on larger field would discourage neighborhood use of smaller field if they were adjacent . After leng•('-hy discussion , it was moved by t) .
