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.
