PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION <br /> REGULAR ~[EETING OF <br /> Jmae 19, 1980 <br /> <br />Members Present: Dennis Donovan, Don Lokker, Terry McLean, John Lichter <br /> <br />Chairman Donovan called the meeting to order about 7:05 P.M. He in- <br />structed the Commission secretary to send the Metropolitan Council a <br />letter regarding the new Recreation Open Space Development Guide - Policy <br />Plan. It was to be noted that we were reviewing the plan to see that <br />past inequities are resolved and to state that funding may be needed <br />to develop Rum and Mississippi River Park facilities. <br /> <br />The May 15 meeting notes were approved unanimously after a motion by <br />McLean, seconded by Lokker. Nancy Wolf appeared to represent citizens <br />of Chameleon Street. She presented a petition (copy attached) to the <br />Commission expressing concern over the lack of park facilities in their <br />neighborhood. Shawn Acres Park is located in the neighborhood but it <br />is only marginally developed. At present the park contains a sand box, <br />three swings and a slide. Parents have also constructed a backstop. The <br />residents would like to have a speed limit sign placed near the existing <br />park and equipment for a creative play area. They also requested a trash <br />can, sand for the sandbox and more frequent grass cuttings. Chairman <br />Donovan said that he would discuss this with Merle Mevissen. <br /> <br />Mr. David Fell from Woodlawn Estates appeared and presented a petition <br />(attached) regarding drainage on Lots 12 and 13 in that development. <br />This will be referred to the Administrator as the subject property is pri- <br />vately owned. <br /> <br />Ron Alwin from Consulting Engineers Diversified appeared and presented <br />'the revised sketch plan for the Federal Cartridge property. Phase I <br />of the project is expected to cost approximately $800,000 (see attached <br />cost estimate). Phase II expansion would include a baseball/football <br />field, another ice hockey rink, two more little league and softball <br />fields and additional shelter and volleyball court. <br /> <br />Commission members present did suggest placing the horseshoe pits and <br />volleyball courts in the picnic area. Mr. Alwin will now prepare the <br />feasibility report for consideration of the Commission and Council. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 P.M. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />John Lichter, <br />Secretary <br /> <br /> <br />
