City of <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Patrick D. Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br />Phil Hals, Street/Park Supt. <br /> <br />January 14, 1998 <br /> <br />Planning Intern <br /> <br />In regard to the planning intern position, I would support hiring an <br />individual who also had a landscape design background. The Park and <br />Recreation Commission has discussed the possibility of staff prepared <br />concept designs for neighborhood parks. I would suggest that ff the time and <br />talent become available, parks be designed right from the prehminary plat. <br />Such a process would allow the Park and Recreation Commission and the <br />City Council to approve the park layout at the time of final plat so that as <br />lots and homes are sold, the only question is "when will it happen?". This <br />could ehminate many anxious calls and complaints such as "we were not told <br />that was a park" or "we don't want this or that in our back yard." <br /> <br />The intern could also design improvements for our present parks. I beheve <br />that a person with a landscape background could add as much to our existing <br />parks as our undeveloped parks. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
