regarding the expansion of Bicentennial Park, including the property which has been purchased
from the Truelove family. Mr. Last stated he wanted to make SPDC aware of what is going
on and why they are going in the direction they are going, making sure that the bodies that are
approving the projects and providing the allocation of funds is aware of what is being done.
The Plaza area was discussed, deleting one field and putting in the playground on the
masterplan. In working with J.T. Dunkin Landscape Architects and Associates, and Ron
Hobbs, their architects, great changes have been made, in trying to create focal points. Mr.
Last noted that the park is being planned meeting the handicap requirements. On parking, they
are planning for spaces they feel will be required. The soccer fields at Bicentennial Park will
be practice fields only. The soccer complex will be located on the north part of town.
