Monica. Travis (7335 Brian Drive) was in agreement with Ms. Lien. Adding, there aze 20 <br /> acres north of Acorn Creek thax are being developed - this will bring more kids. Monica <br /> felt this park should be designed for kids and adults to use. Monica. questioned if there <br /> would be additional traffic and where parking would be. Adding, there is a proposed trail <br /> and perhaps parking could be at a different location. She questioned if grant funds could <br /> be used to secure a parking lot. <br /> Dale Larson thought parking was planned all-along at the Acorn Creek Park. There are <br /> cunently three (3) parking spaces at Acorn Creek Park. <br /> Loren Abrahamson (1868 Revoir Street) added that his idea of a neighborhood park is <br /> defined as a park for neighborhood use - consisting of some adult fixtures and play <br /> equipment for children. <br /> Dan Nelson (1828 Revoir Street) questioned if there would be another park north of <br /> Acorn Creek Park, and the amenities that witl offer. <br /> Michael Navin mentioned the City is to keep in mind that with the new developments <br /> coming into town, the police department wishes to have access to the parks. <br /> Jeff Gibbons (7203 Clear Ridge) questioned if the City will have leverage to get access to <br /> the parks in the future. <br /> Michael Navin stated that this is the perfect opportunity for citizen involvement in the <br /> future. Adding that new developments have to go before City Council. The City Council <br /> takes into consideration what is best for the City, i. e.: land for parks or money. At this <br /> time, it is premature to assume what the City will get - land or money - when the next ', <br /> development comes to town. <br /> Da1e Larson felt, in looking through the information submitted by the Neighborhood <br /> Network Committee, that what the neighborhood wants would also be suitable for adults. <br /> Michael Navin questioned the survey taken by the Neighborhood Network Committee. <br /> Specifically, asking which of the items on the survey are mandatory? Is a basketball court <br /> something the residents really want to see? Adding, bouncing ba11s are very loud, and is <br /> this something that fits into what the City wants? <br /> Lori Dom (1836 Revoir Street) added that basketball courts may bring more adults into <br /> the park area. <br /> Tom Fairbrother (1844 Revoir Street) sta.ted the most difficutt thing far the Neighborhood <br /> Network Committee is not knowing how much money the City has to work with as far as <br /> developin� parks. <br /> 3 <br />
