CASE #3 <br /> UPDATE ON ELMCREST PARK <br />By: Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The parking lot at Elmcrest Park was constructed in 2004. The 2nd lift of bituminous was placed <br />on the parking lot in 2005 and most of the trails were paved. Some of the trails south of the <br />playing fields were graded but not paved. These trails may be moved to provide room for <br />wetland mitigation in connection with the extension of Sanitary Sewer and Watermain to the <br />Sweet Bay Ridge development (former St. Anthony Gun Club Site). <br /> <br />The highway underpass in the southeast comer of the park was completed under Highway 47 last <br />summer. The paving season ended before all of the connections could be completed. The bridge <br />over County Ditch 66 was placed last fall. Construction of the trail connection to the south is <br />anticipated to be completed early in the 2006 construction season. <br /> <br />Trees were transplanted into the areas behind the curb in the summer of 2005. The next phase of <br />improvements for the park is extending the irrigation system to these areas. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staffrecommends preparing a documentation to be submitted to the Public Works Committee <br />detailing the extent of work to be performed and requesting authorization to install the <br />improvements in 2006. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Assistant Director Public Works/Principal Engineer <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />P&R: 1/12/06 <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br /> <br />
