Jim March explained that ihere may from $SOk to $250k a�ailable for certain redevelopment or developments of parks. 3.Don't necessarily completely pave the Lamotte Park parking lot. Lamotte Park has a large parking lot. Here's an idea to consider: instead of paving the whole parking lot, , consider using special "blocks" that ailow grass to groFV between them. For, say, one fourth to one half of the lot, use normal paving as gtass could not take constant use. But, the lot appears to be sized for the biggest anticipated gathering, and for those occasions, parking on the "btocks" would probably work very well. This allows more area of the park to look green, anci, in addition, would reduce hard surface runoff poilution for the nearby lake. 4.**Landscaping. Jeff Gibbens pointed out that the Minnesota Department of Transportation, where he works, has programs to help communities with landscaping. There were several conditions. Although not directly in Centerville, the program might provide resources to help with landscaping that «�ould better hide 35W from certain areas in Anoka Park and also the city of Centerville - people on Peltier lake, for example, are well aware of 35W. Conditions include a need for volunteers for planting, property adjacent to DOT propertq, an official request from local government, among others. These MnDOT programs offer an opportunity for funding that should be pursued. It was the feeling of the group that we should start with high expectations and only lo�ver them if we have ' to. The timing of the Design Team suggestions, Anaka County Park plans and improvements, Lamotte �� Park plans, and other coincidental activiries offer once in a community lifetime opporlunities that shoutd '� not be missed. Please heip make these dreams come true. Current and future residents of Centerville will ', be thankful.
