If there were an emergency situation on a weekend there would be a <br /> parking conflict with the fire department and city hall. March also stated during a recent <br /> discussion with Berkley, the city's insurance provider, he advised not to put a city park on <br /> the creek because of the liability. And finally, the purpose of a park in the area is to also <br /> service the residents in the Center Oaks Development. <br /> Wilharber also commented that the Fire Chief expressed some concern for the park being <br /> on the creek and the parking issue. Wilharber suggested moving the park inland, closer to <br /> Center Oaks. <br /> Fogerty stated that the wetlands in the proposed park are useless. <br /> First questioned that needed to be answered is: What type of park is needed or wanted? <br /> Johnson suggested something similar to Tracy McBride park, a neighborhood children's <br /> park. Fogerty stated he would like some structured ball facilities. Larson commented that <br /> they are planning a ball complex at LaMotte Park. Tourville suggested installing tennis <br /> courts and a place where younger kids can play close to home. Larson stated the park in <br /> Acorn Creek is planned to be a "social" park with barbecue pits, tot lots and sandboxes. <br /> Emrich stated there would be a small amount of children generated from this development. <br /> Therefore he suggested a land dedication of the required amount and then they would <br /> develop the park. Double tennis courts and small play equipment would fit on 2 -3 acres of <br /> land, which would be the 5% land dedication. <br /> PZ6 -17MM. WPS 1 <br />
