Agenda Item #6, Discussion: Lonesome Dove Estates.
John Levitt and Tom Matthews were present to discuss with the Board
the plans for the development of Lonesome Dove Estates. They
informed the Board that they are planning an internally located
park to serve partly as a buffer between the larger and smaller
lots. They want it to be a public park serving a small area as a
"Neighborhood Park". Amenities to the park include a pavilion, tot
lot, playground, picnic areas, volleyball and basketball court.
There would be no lighting. Mr. Matthews commented that the
subdivision itself will have sidewalks.
QVI Mr. Matthews commented that he wanted to understand that the
improved area could forgo fees.
This presentation was an information item only. The Park Board did
not take any action. Janet Murphy commented that the Board
suggested that a ball field backstop and a pair of soccer goals be
added to the amenities.
Agenda Item #7, Discussion: Park Use Policy Revisions.
Janet Murphy discussed with the Board that variance power makes the
board representative a City official and unable to serve on the
SPDC. The recommended change is that the Park Board would make
recommendations on variances to the City Manager.
Park Use Policy revisions and ordinance changes will go to the City
Council all at the same time. Janet Murphy added that the City
attorneys are working on adding wording to address granting clubs
free use of park buildings, and we should have by the next meeting.
Discussion was held in regard to a Park Use flyer be given and
signed by all persons who use the park facilities. The flyer
should include the following information:
- prohibit red dye in the Community building
- lighting fee - $10.00
- concession stand - health codes, etc.
- prohibit rollerblading on tennis courts- prepare
ordinance and signs to allow in "designated areas only."
