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 /> <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 /> <br />Fogerty stated that the wetlands in the proposed park are useless. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />PZ6-17MM.WPS <br /> <br />I <br />
