Councilmember Threinen stated if the parking lot is not delineated
it will promote unrestricted parking on the street. Council agreed
there should be a parking lot for people that have to walk long dis-
t?.nces to the park and for the elderly and handicapped. Mayor Daven-
port stated the landscaping around the parking lot sho0d discourage
after -dark activities in the lot. Park Director Blank replied the
marking lot will be easily visible from the road with no type of
hedge or screening.
Councilmember Schneider inquired why an ag-lime infield is not pro-
posed for thiF park. Ile also questioned the location of the hike
rack next to the tot lot and the "Y" trail bisecting the park.
Park Director Blank repiied a grass infield is necessitated because
there is 32 ft. of fall across this park; the location of the trail
also conforms to the topography of the land. He stated the Final
plans will indicate locations for several bike racks in the nark.
