PARK .AND RECl2EATION MEETING MINUTES April l� Z998 Present : R. Thompson, D. Porter, D. Larson, S. Brown, M. Navin Absent . None Staff . J. March �*************************************************�**��********** � LaMotte Park Discussion on the layout of LaMotte Park was brought forth. The comparisons of having three ball fields compared to four ball fields was discussed. The consensus was that three fields would be adequate. This would result in less maintenance costs and allow additional room for other activities. The parking lot layout was discussed. It was mentioned that a larger, single parking lot would create less confusion than three smaller parking areas. The drainage from the parking lot would be designed to flow eas� to west across the parking the lot then flow north to south down a drainage swale to the ditch on the south end of the parcel. Moving the pond on the south side of the parcel was discussed. It was mentioned that this pond should be lengthened and constructed to run east and wes� as narrow as possible. The I.ocation of bleachers and the spaces needed between ballfields was discussed. It was the consensus that the area in between the ba�lfields should be opened up as much as possible. A motion was made by R. Thompson, seconded by S. Brown to proceed with the plan as presented, including limiting vehicle access to the park down LaMotte Drive, establishing pedestrian access off of Centerville Road, opening up the fields as much as possible and leaving the monument and garden area alor}e during the renovation of the park. Motion carried. It was the consensus to invite D. Nyberg to the next Park and Recreation meeting. Motion made by M. Navin, seconded by D. Porter to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried.
