Park&Recreation Commission Minutes November 14,2001 Page 3 9.A.1. Community Events: Camp Cozy Park Update - Andrew Fox Mr. Fox presented an update of his Eagle Scout project at Camp Cozy Park. He presented several photographs of the accomplishments thus far, and stated that there have been several changes made since he began the project earlier this fall: - Telephone poles that were originally going to be used to block vehicle access to the park have been replaced with wire mesh fencing due to cost, and he feels that it will have better impact to deter motorized vehicle access. - The fence-that was to be placed at the cul-de-sac on Waco Street has been move further down Waco Street and placed at a 90 degree angle from the fence at the entrance to the northern prairie in order to discourage motorized vehicles from accessing Waco Street at the cul-de-sac. - An opening at Waco Street has also been modified to allow a neighbor's access for a snow plow during the winter months. - A fence has been added to the entry way into the northern prairie to also deter access of four-wheelers which have been entering off the river path. Barton Sand &Gravel has donated several large boulders to aid in Mr. Fox's project. He is planning on having them delivered and disbursed to adjoin the gates as a natural barrier fence to aid in the deterrence of motorized vehicles from the Park. Mr. Fox has been working extensively with the neighbors who border the Park to accommodate their concerns, as well, and also inquired as to the signage for the Park. Mr. Hals said that his staff would be able to construct proper signs for Mr. Fox's project. 9.B.1.
