Park and Recreation Commission <br />Meeting Date: 07/14/2022 <br />By: Mark Riverblood, Engineering/Public <br />Works <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Consider Proposal for a Remote Controlled Car Track at Alpine Park <br />Purpose/Background: <br />5.1. <br />Small, remote controlled (RC) cars are used informally in Ramsey's parks and parking lots and occasionally RC <br />boats within waterways. A pair of residents are keenly interested in formalizing an RC area in Ramsey and initially <br />looked at Emerald Pond Park, and sent those neighbors the attached letter inviting feedback on the proposal. <br />Since then, Staff meet with one of the individuals proposing an RC area —and looked at the west portion of Alpine <br />Park near the skate park. This area seems conducive for this use in many ways, including that there is separation <br />from residential homes, there is parking, and also ADA access if positioned immediately adjacent to the existing <br />parking lot. <br />Notification: <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />One or more residents interested in the RC area are expected to be present at the meeting to explain further the <br />benefits of their proposal, and what is entailed. Attached is the aforementioned letter, and an exhibit showing the <br />area proposed. <br />Funding Source: <br />There is no funding required at this time. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends actively exploring the development of an RC area at Alpine, as it would be yet another unique <br />recreational amenity for the community. <br />Action: <br />Bsed upon discussion. <br />Letter on RC Cars <br />RC area exhibit <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />lnbox Reviewed By Date <br />Grant Riemer MaryJo Warner 07/08/2022 12:42 PM <br />Form Started By: Mark Riverblood Started On: 06/28/2022 01:14 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 07/08/2022 <br />
