REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />DATE: 4119104 <br />ITEM NO: 12. <br />DepartmentApproval: Manager Reviewed: Agenda Section: <br />_ ��� � _ � <br />Item Description: Naming of Park Land at Applewood Pointe Development <br />BACKGROUND <br />As you are aware the Applewood Pointe Development is currently well underway and is <br />anticipated finishing up later in the summer/fall of 2004. In the development there will be <br />two segments of a neighborhood park. On the north side of the development there will <br />be approximately two acres of open and play space and on the south side of the <br />development there will be approximately two acres consisting of a pond and overlook. <br />The Parks and Recreation Commission has studied the naming of this property as per <br />the City policy (copy attached). The Commission used the following process: <br />1. Review of City policy for naming of parks. <br />2. Solicitation of suggestions from neighborhood. <br />3. Discussion of the History of the Property. <br />4. Discussion of options for names. <br />Following several months of discussion, The Parks and Recreation Commission has <br />recommended a name for the new park area on the north side of the development to be <br />Applewood Park and the area on the south side of the development to be Applewood <br />Overlook. The Commission stated that their reasons for recommending this name was <br />based upon the neighborhood suggestions, the future name recognition/association to <br />the site as well as the full contributionldedication of the park to the community by the <br />development. They felt that the name was particularly significant with future direction <br />giving. <br />POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />The established City policy is to refer to the Parks and Recreation Commission for <br />recommendation on the naming of City Parks and Recreation land and facilities. A copy <br />of the policy is attached. <br />FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS <br />None <br />
