#8 Elmcrest Park Parking and Access Improvements $215,000 The $215,000 proposed, would fund the construction of the parking areas associated with the soccer fields. This would include concrete gutter for all park drives and parking areas. The access to Uranium Street would be constructed as a rural section street, as would ]ts future extension to T.H. #47. The goat would be to have this improvement completed in time for fall soccer in 2003. This timeline is predicated upon the two things. First the Park Commission will need to complete the Master Plan for Elmcrest during the winter of 2002-2003 so that the siting of the parking areas work with all aspects of the park layout. And secondly, the turf needs to be of proven health in order to open the fields for organized use. The following is the per item estimate; · Grading · Class 5 and bituminous for park drive [Uranium St to T.H. 47] · Parking lot curbs and islands lest. S8 to $12 aft] · Class 5 and bituminous for parking tot[si ' · Restoration and bare root trees for parking areas · Contingency, engineering and staking Total $15,000' $35,000 $28,000 $98,oo0 $20,000 $19,000 $215,000 #9 Alpine Playground and Interpretive Seating Cove $80,000 This improvement would be sited South of the park's entrance in view of the Alpine Addition across the street. It will be a recreation destination unto itself- as well as for families there for other purposes. The design would incorporate tiered perennial beds around the playstructure. The irrigated landscaping would invite parents and users to sit in and among the foliage, thereby providing relaxing, educational surroundings to supervise their child's play. One theme to compliment the perennial plantings would the subject of lepidoptera [The study of butterflies]. The playstructure itself could even carry this theme. Alpine Park - Exposed Aggregate for Players Benches $5,500 This project will result in a permanent solution to erosion associated with traffic around the 8 players benches at the baseball fields. The concrete surface if exposed aggregate, would be non-slip, would not show wear patterns, and would be high quality in appearance. # Turtle Nesting Site at Wetland #114P $1,000 The majority of this habitat replacement project would be accommodated by in-house labor. The DNR non-game wildlife program may be consulted for design issues.
