Mr. Johnson explained that he and his wife were very displeased with the placement of the satellite at Acorn Creek Park. He stated it is an unwelcomed addition to the neighborhood, it is a visual eyesore, it diminishes property values, it's too far away from the playground equipment, and the odor and appearance diminish the quality of the neighborhood. He requested the Parks and Recreation Committee look to other alternatives for placement of the satellite (i.e.: other side of path, additional pathway to another location, closer to the center of activity, etc.). Additionally, the youth are using drugs in the satellites. 1 "
