Mr. Boos suggested having foot notes on the site location maps also as well as bulleted <br />information. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cook proposed that it may be better if the maps are color coded. The clearer <br />we can represent what we are trying to do, the easier it will be to "sell" it. He commented <br />on the State's bike maps. <br /> <br />Commissioner Osborn felt it would be nice to have a map similar to that of the State's bike <br />map, showing the trail plan and mix/matching them so you could go one way and come <br />back another. He thought too, that color coding is helpful. He proposed adding details <br />such as picnic area, rest area, ponds, etc. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos reiterated these things could be included with footnotes. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cook stated that items could be briefly referenced and the comp plan would <br />be available for more information. <br /> <br />Commissioner Osborn voiced that people would want to know which are bike trails and <br />which are horse trails, for example. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cook commented that with the quick reference, we could say what's going <br />on with the trails and include a few roles about picnicking, etc. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder agreed that the City should consider these maps, but to maybe not print up a <br />lot of them at a time as they will have to be updated fairly often with all the changes, plus a <br />lot of the trails shown do not currently exist. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos encouraged the Commissioners to call in with, or drop off more, comments <br />regarding the plan. <br /> <br />Following is a synopsis of what was discussed/agreed upon by the Commission: They <br />discussed having park maps printed with some of the following information: Note the park <br />locations - use footnotes to denote types of trails, etc. shown on the map. Color coding <br />was mentioned. It was suggested the maps could be updated every couple of years so they <br />should not necessarily be printed in mass quantities. It was further suggested that future <br />plans be noted on the map with regard to parks and trails. Show the connections so a <br />person going one way could come back another way for a different view. Picnic areas, rest <br />areas and pond areas should be noted. Amenities of the parks should be listed somehow. <br />Note the type of trails (equestrian, walking, biking, etc.) Also suggested was to include <br />some roles about picnicking. <br /> <br />COMMISSION INPUT <br /> <br />1) Discuss Outdoor Meeting Schedule <br /> <br />Chairperson Hetland felt that meeting in the parks is a good idea. <br /> <br />Commissioner Osborn reported that Solstice Park looks fantastic. <br /> <br />The Commission agreed they should revisit Solstice Park and decided that would be the <br />meeting place for the May Park and Recreation Commission meeting. <br /> <br />Commissioner Henn inquired what is being planned for the park in Fox Knoll. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/April 13, 1995 <br /> Page 6 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
