STAFF REPORT: Mr. Walton presented the staff report based on an addendum pre-
pared by the Community Development Department.
Discussion on the location of the park.
Mrs. Crowe closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing.
Bette Bishop discussed the location of the park, felt that 20,000 sq. ft. was too
large for a play area. Stated that she had talked to Ian Fulp on turing the
area by the Reservior into a park. Monashka Dam is going to be used as a Reservio
and the existing Reservior would be used for only backup.
Mr. Hill the Monashka Bay Dam will be useful but the other Reservior would be
used for the canneries for back up water supply.
Bette Bishop what does the Commission what in the way of a park?
Mrs. Crowe potential for high densities, some kind of recreation for tenants. I
picture you turning it over to the City.
Mr. Hill my idea is a playground, not a recreation area. A recreation area to me
is for a larger.�area.
Mr. Briggs I agree with Mr. Hill.
Mr. Walton no one addresses recreation areas in the books we referenced. Rec-
reation areas would basically be for all ages as opposed to playlots or play-
grounds.
Bette Bishop would like to see a plat or deed restriction for a play area/rec-
reation area to be defined.
Mr. Hill agrees that 20,000 is to much would rather see it at 10,000.
Mr. Ball arrived at 9:00 D.m.
Mrs. Crowe what is the acerage at Fir Terrace?
Mr. Crowe 22 acres.
More discussion on the use of the Reservior as a park.
Mrs. Crowe would like to see the same type of development as Fir Terrace for the
play area.
Discussion on the area the Bishop's picked for a park.
Mrs. Crowe closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting.
Mr. Hill suggested an area on each lot for a play area, but not really infavor of
it. 10,000 sq. ft. one area would be better.
Mr. Ball 10,000 sq. ft. would be a starting point for a park, j113S225246
