Park&Recreation Commission Minutes Page 3 April 10,2013 Commissioner Niziolek asked how much the platforms cost. Mr. Hecker stated that the cost has not been figured out and that having platforms may not be feasible due to the flood plain. Commission Kallemeyn expressed concern that the platforms would be problematic and not practical. Flooding would cause possible loss. Also stating that it would be better to make it easier for those wanting to fish to create access points with signage as to where to enter and exit adding this would help in lessoning the erosion of the shoreline. Commissioner Anderson stated he would like to tour the park before deciding as to see the river bank and shorelines. MOVED BY COMMISSIONER AHLNESS AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SAGAN TO TABLE ITEM 7.A. UNTIL AFTER DOING A PROPERTY TOUR. MOTION CARRIED 6-0. 7.13. Bailey Point Parking Lot Plan Planner/Park Planner, Chris Leeseberg explained that the parking lot,which was approved in the overall design of the park for the grant received,will consist of a Class 5 (gravel) driveway and a gravel parking surface. The parking area will be approximately 90' x 60'in size with the drive lane running north and south. Per the city code (Sec 30-895), the parking area will be setback at least 10 feet from all property lines. Due to topography, drainage, and construction costs the parking lot will be located in the Northeast portion of the property, near the end of Morton Avenue and will include curb and gutter due to city ordinance. Commissioner Anderson asked when the parking lot ordinance went into effect. Mr. Hecker explained that the city has not purchased a new park property since this ordinance was approved. Commissioner Niziolek explained it would be in the best interest of the bikers and walkers to have curb cut as early as possible to allow them to access the park trail before going through the parking lot with moving vehicles. MOVED BY COMMISSIONER NIZIOLEK AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SAGAN TO ACCEPT STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE PARKING LOT LOCATION AND DESIGN ALONG WITH ADDING A CLEAR CUT ACCESS FOR PEDESTRIANS TO ENTER THE PARK BEFORE THE PARKING LOT AREA. MOTION CARRIED 6-0. 7.C. Youth Sports Resolution Parks and Recreation Director,Michael Hecker presented the Youth Sports Resolution by asking Recreation Manager, Steve Beniot to read the resolution.
