Hunter's Hill <br /> <br />It is proposed that this site be reshaped {possibly terraced) to better <br />enhance the site, and that a neighborhood street be placed (for better <br />access) at the north end of the park when future development occurs. <br /> <br />Peltzer - also A-4 <br /> <br />Because this 11.9 acre site probably has the most potential for be- <br />coming the nicest passive area in the city, it is proposed that the <br />park be developed to the extent of cleaning brush, cleaning the shoreline <br />of the pond, making walkways, improving on the playground area, and <br />making plantings of various kinds for shade, screening and visual <br />enhancement. It is also proposed that additional acreage at the south <br />end of the site be acquired and developed as a connecting corridor <br />from Peltzer to the sanitary landfill--which is proposed as a large <br />community or possibly a regional recreation site. The acreage for <br />the corridor should be acquired only when the landfill is closed down <br />and converted to a recreation site. <br /> <br />Beaudry <br /> <br />Because of very poor accessibility to the site, and because it serves <br />only as a surface water drainage area, this 5.5 acre site will be <br />left as it is. <br /> <br />Greenland Hills 1 <br /> <br />This 15.6 acre site serves mainly as a surface water drainage area, <br />with residents nearly surrounding it. A small portion of Yolite <br />Street abuts the site on the west. It is proposed that this section <br />of the park be cleaned and that plantings be made for visual purposes. <br /> <br />Greenland Hills 2 <br /> <br />This 8.6 acre site is similar in function to Greenland Hills 1 {that <br />being a surface water drainage area), and it is proposed that the <br />site be cleaned where possible and left as is. <br /> <br />Whispering Pines 1 - also'A~5.and A,6 <br /> <br />This is an 11.4 acre site -- 60% of which functions as a surface water <br />drainage area. It is proposed that this site be expanded to the west <br />by an additional 10-15 acres for athletic and passive purposes. Where <br />the existing site is hilly and slopes into a marsh area, the proposed <br />addition is flat and would lend itself to being a nice recreation <br />area. In addition, approximately 175 acres are proposed as a special- <br />ilized facility---that being a golf course which would be located <br />west of Whispering Pines 1, and take advantage of Lake Itasca.on the <br />north and east sides. <br /> <br />- 22 - <br /> <br /> <br />
