Regular City Council Meeting— 02/09/04 <br />DRAFT Minutes - Page 19 <br />improvements would be compatible. Mr. Brokke noted that two <br />92) community meetings were held in the fall of 2003 to review <br />and revise plans to address neighborhood concerns, primarily <br />related to lighting, initial inclusion of a public address booth, and <br />an unrelated security issue in the wooded area on the north <br />adjacent to the Rosetown Ridge Townhouse Project. Mr. Brokke <br />advised that as a result of those meetings, and positive discussion <br />among involved parties, the public address booth had been <br />removed, lighting was proposed in the Phase One (South field) <br />area only, with Phase Two (North field) lighting to be considered <br />at a later date. <br />Mr. Brokke advised that the proposed process for development <br />of the Central Park Dale Street Athletic Field Concept Plan was <br />consistent with the Parks and Recreation System Plan and the <br />overall community involvement process. Mr. Brokke advised <br />that if the concept plan was approved by the City Council <br />tonight, more detailed drawings and soil samples would be <br />initiated. <br />Mr. Brokke noted that there was no cost associated with the <br />approval of the proposed concept plan, with the Roseville Area <br />Youth Athletic Associations then proceeding with fundraising to <br />finance the project. <br />Mr. Maschka referenced potential use of artificial turf as a trial at <br />this location and the possibility of initiating depreciation on the <br />fields now, as a remnant of last Saturday's Work Session and the <br />need to depreciate facilities. <br />Councilmember Schroeder expressed concern regarding the need <br />for fencing each field individually, opining that another solution <br />could be found; and also appeared to be preventing all people use <br />of the facility, and catering to select users. Councilmember <br />Schroeder further opined that the fences would prove useless if <br />someone wanted to access the fields, and seemed an excessive <br />cost that might prove futile. <br />Mr. Brokke noted that the proposal was to fence both fields, with <br />some gates where applicable; anticipating that the fields would <br />be locked at minimum and seasonal times of the year, as needed, <br />
