Park and Recreation Meeting Minutes Thursday, November 4, 1988 Present: Carol Pelton Steve Dixon Cindy Paschke Carol Fritchie, Council Liaison Gerard LeTendre The meeting was called to order at 7:20 p.m. LeTendre made a motion to accept the October minutes as written, second by Pelton, unanimously accepted. There were residents present that objected to the Hardwood Ponds Estates park land dedication. Enclosed is a copy of a petition from the residents, a notice placed at Tripple's Market, and a list of the residents present at the meeting. Some of the audience comments were: a path along the pond would open up the area to A.T.V.'s, vandalism, the residents would lose their privacy, the liability of the city, with the removal of the cattails there would be no ducks, and there is not enough at Royal Meadows Park to accomodate others from other developments. After some discussion, the P & R members asked the residents what measures they felt should be taken to provide them with the least amount of intrusion due to the pathway being put in next to the pond. Measures that will be taken are posts with cable at the entrance to the trails, big boulders on the abutting park property line, tree lines along the property edge, edge planting at pond (cattails), and to have the trail grass, not gravel or bituminous. Paschke made the motion that in the future, when it is appropriate, that adjacent land owners be notified of park land and /or trailways along with the development notifications, second by LeTendre, unanimously accepted.
