JOINT MEETING OF THE ELK RIVER <br /> • <br /> PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION <br /> AND PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> HELD AT THE ELK RIVER CITY HALL- TRAINING ROOM <br /> WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2000 <br /> Park and Recreation Commissioners Present: Chair Kuester, Commissioners Dave <br /> Anderson, Dana Anderson, Huberty, Peterson, Sladek and Westrum. <br /> Planning Commissioners Present: Chair Mesich, Commissioners Baker, Kuester, <br /> Schuster and Chambers <br /> Staff Present: Michele McPherson, Director of Planning; Debbie Huebner, <br /> Recording Secretary <br /> 1. Call Meeting To Order <br /> The joint meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission and Planning <br /> Commission was called to order by Chair Kuester. <br /> 2. Neighborhood Parks <br /> Commissioner Louise Kuester questioned how accurate the existing Master Park <br /> • <br /> Plan is, regarding park locations, and also,what the priorities are for determining <br /> where area-wide parks are placed. She expressed concern for the lack of <br /> neighborhood parks east of Highway 169 and asked if it was the intent of the Park <br /> and Recreation Commission to provide a future regional park to serve residents in <br /> this area. Commissioner Kuester stated she felt more neighborhood parks are <br /> needed. <br /> Chair John Kuester explained that the Park and Recreation Commission is in the <br /> process of updating the Master Park Plan to determine if the location and the <br /> number of area-wide parks and neighborhood parks are appropriate. He did not <br /> feel it was a question of "large" versus "small", but rather,what the need is in a <br /> particular area. <br /> Commissioner Baker also felt there is a need for neighborhood parks. <br /> Michele McPherson explained how parks are sized. She noted that visibility and <br /> access are important when dealing with smaller neighborhood parks. <br /> Commissioner Baker felt it was important for neighborhood parks to be close <br /> enough so that children can get to them on their own. He felt that Deerfield 4th <br /> Park should have been larger. <br /> Chair John Kuester stated that the city has park land available but no money to <br /> develop. He explained that as each plat comes in, the Park and Recreation <br /> Commission must determine how it fits in with the overall Park Master Plan. <br />
