Mr. Mastey explained he based the parking on the six hundred seating amphitheatre. He <br />stated what they have discussed at this point was how the park would be laid out and <br />where is the best place for a building site before deciding where the parking and drive <br />should be. <br /> <br />Mr. Mastey described the different elevations of the park and where would be the best <br />spot for a building. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos noted a parallel issue was they would need telephone and <br />electricity into the park which can be a costly matter. <br /> <br />Mr. Mastey eXplained they want to utilize the park to its fullest potential and yet make <br />sure they do not lose the essence of this site. They do not want to fill the park up to <br />capacity and make it like all the other parks. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock expressed her opinion that she liked the laYouts because there is <br />space to work with in the future. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lehman in~luired what the general direction Was for the athletic <br />association in regards to the park. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds stated it is a good point because right now they have parks that are <br />dedicated to different functions and with the amount of people potentially moving into <br />the area, they do not know what they want. Do they design and develop this park with <br />the potential that something else down the road may want to be installed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rolfe noted that maybe they should leaVe the area undesignated. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos explained they could utilize the open area as a prairie <br />area with park benches and a picnic area. <br /> <br />Parks/utilities Supervisor Boos stated for the interim, they-have planted alfalfa that theY <br />will cut and sell so as to mow the area and provide money for the park. <br /> <br />Mr. Mastey noted they have planted forty-four acres for this. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued in regards to what the open area could be used for now and in the <br />future. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lehman stated he thought it was important to talk about this because they <br />are losing all of their open space in the City. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos commented that most of the users do not ask about the <br />history of Ramsey and implementing information into the trail may be worthwhile. He <br />explained they will not have enough money to pave all the areas at this time. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission Work Session/April 10, 2003 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
