w 5 . McTavish . Needs have changed since the plan was adopted, a need for more fields has developed . This plan met basic needs at that time . it would be very poor park pianning at this time not to allow for eventual development of this field (not to follow the plan as SUbmitted to Council In February) and allow for the league size field when and if it is needed . 6 . P. Lippert. i am a member of the Parks Committee and a resl - dent of the Cummings Park area. At this time many of us can see a need for tot lot, smali size field, etc. In years to come, our chlicren will be teenagers and need facilities as included In this plan . Park should be planned for the greatest good of all , now and in the future . 7. A . Montgomery (Cummings Park area) . We are not saying no organized activities; envision youth soccer, softball , no adult organized leagues . 8 . Susan Anderson (Cummin ssPParrk area) . We have no assurance that If the area Is graded, if there is any pressure for another adult field, you won 't put it in . There will then be parking In the cul de sac, activities planned seem jammer together in too small an area. It seems like too many activities to put into a park with only CDC parking lot accessibility . (Parks Committee members pointed out that this plan had been devel - • oped by a professional planner with assurances that there is adequate space in the area: for these things planned. ) 9. D. Kostishack . Each. Arden Hills park beiangs to the entf ;,e community, should serve entire community . 10 . J . McTavish . Would l i ke to see the recommendations as ui4t de In February ' s Parks and Recreation Committee minutes stand. 1 1 . A. Montgomery (Curet ings Park area) . Parks Committee should make a concentrated eff►:►rt to fTrid more land while there Is ,.ti I l some land available; took at the Arsenal to see if some can be purchased there, gook a-` Round Lake area. 12 . Name not alven (Cummings Park area) . The plan we are proposing allows a good area for * nformal activities with not as much grading done . 13. Tom Leonard (Cummings Park area) . Has had experience with living by a park with scheduled activities, has five children, found their activities were scheduled as much In other parks as in the one bordering his home, so did not eliminate driving, Questioned Arden Hills park drinking ordinance; said he had scheduled two company games at Perry Fark two years ago and provided beer for all players . Stated th•,t if you are depending oit CDC parking lot, you ' re Just deluding yourselves, depending on oullside corporation • for parking Is poor planning. Feels Parks Depar-�ment Is trying to fit a "square peg" in a round hole, with this plan .
