Rolling Hills will cost approximateiy $95,000 with the possibil-
ty of deleting the westerly trail loop and moving the bridge.
Councllmember Vdsiliou asked if the neighbors knew that a cable
ride was being proposed.
Director Blank stated the cable ride was proposed for C.R. 61
park. He added that the neighbors have not been informed
because specific equipment had riot been decided on at the time
of the public meeting. It Ads noted that a display of typical
play equipment was shown and discussed at each of the neighbor-
hood meetings.
Discussion followed on whether and for how long the trail would
be under water after a severe storm.
Larry Decker, Barton-Aschman Associates, answered that it would
be for approximately three days - maximum of one week. Director
Moore stated he doesn't believe It would be that long because of
the free flow under the bridge and the elevations In the area.
Mr. Decker stated the island proposed is to keep the wild life
In the dreg and attract others.
Councllmember Crain stated he had heard that the Department of
Natural Resources has asked that no islands be constructed In
the McLropolitan area because of the heavy geese population and
the fact that this would encourage more geese to stay and breed.
Director Blank stated he would contact the DNR about this mat-
ter. He stated that County Road 61 park will cost approximately
91,000 with the possibility of deductinq the southwest trail
loop and the removal of a catch basin. The trail alignment in
the northeast corner has been established and the proposed trail
area will be dedicated as Park area by the developer. The
alignment is such that it gets over the crest of the hill at the
high point and then rakes a turn to the north at a 12 112%
grade. He believes this will rause the ledst disruption of the
area, Lhat this plan is seilsitive to the neighbors' needs, and
won't need d retdlning wall.
Councllmember Vasiliou staLed her concern with the play sLruc-
tures and that the types of equipment being proposed were not
part of the preseoitat ion .it the public hearing.
Manager Willis staLed that the trail alignment was agreed to by
Mr. McCullough whose property abuts the park. He added the City
will take appropriaLe action to cons'ruct the berm on the Inside
of the trail angle and close off the .red which will be cut by
the Lrai 1.
