. . ... Minutes of Regular Council Meeting April 26, 1982 Council was referred to Concept "C". Parks Chairman Adele Anderson explained that the proposed grading allows for a second ball field in the future (if needed); proposal is to grade for it, actually may be utilized for some other activity. Mary Alice Slick expressed concern re development of the park; ex- plained that the neighborhood has not had a "say" on the matter; residenta living near the cul-de-sac are concerned about noise, litter and extensive use by ball players so young children can't use it; also of concern is viaibility of the ball field very close to the homes. Al Anderson said he attended a Parks meeting which was attended by 30 or 40 of the neighbors; cannot recall any support of a ball diamond, as such; concensus of the group was no ball diamonds at all. Adele Anderson explained that the easterly ball field, as proposed, will be depressed, and will, therefore, be less visible and less noisy. The area west of this field will be graded so that, in the future, a ball field could be created if it is desired, Susan Anderson asked if it has already been decided that one ball diamond will be put in the park; said it was explained to them that it was to be developed to serve the neighborhood, not in- dustry; a large ball field is not oriented to a neighborhood at- mosphere; the initial use will be by teams scheduled for its use- a lot of beer, noise--; it would be better to develop as a neigh- borhood facility first. Mary Gillies said she attended both Parks meetings relative to Cummings Park; said it was her impression that the proposed grad- ing is to be the same whether or not ball field; are put in; the grading is not intended only for construction of ball fields~ second field could accomodate a neighborhood field for soccer, softball or other games. It was explained that the Parks Department is requesting Council approval to authorize preparation of plans and specifications for the grading of Cummings Park as per plan Concept "C"; actual de- velopment of the park will be reviewed again by Council. Hicks moved, seconded by McAllister, that Council authorize pre- paration of plans and specifications for the grading of Cummings Park as per Concept "C", contingent upon approval of parking agreement with Control Data Corporation.
