<br />Commissioner Niziolek stated he would like to preserve one side of the nature center to be a <br />quiet zone, and concurs with Chair Anderson’s layout. <br />Chair Anderson stated he would like to keep the trails on the east side of the nature center. <br />Commissioner Niziolek stated he would like to look at adding a quarter mile trail for the <br />seniors in the master plan to connect to all the pieces of the nature center and playground. <br />Mr. Steward agrees to having the playground cloud down to the 953 elevation mark. <br />Ms. Bouley concurs and likes access to the trail. <br />Ms. Varty concurs with the group. <br />Ms. Nickols agreed. <br />Mr. Nierenhausen asked what will be proposed for lighting at the Nature Center for safety? <br />Chair Anderson stated that will be decided later. <br />Mr. Hecker stated that this is not in the project scope. The picnic shelter is in the project <br />scope to include lighting. <br />Mr. Nierenhausen is concerned about lighting for shelter and that the location closer to the <br />trail on north is a blind area due to curve in the trail and would prefer to move shelter south. <br />Moved by Commissioner Niziolek and seconded by member Jill Varty to recommend to the <br />Parks and Recreation Commission to move the location of the Nature Center, picnic shelter, <br />and Nature-based playground to the west for the following reasons. <br />1. Safety with golf balls coming from the golf course hitting range <br />2. Aesthetics with a pleasing view point of surrounding nature <br />3. Proximity to the trail head <br />4. Accessibility <br />5. Creates a future opportunity to add solar heating <br />Motion carried 7-0. <br /> Committee discussed and drew cloud locations to pass onto WSB consultants. <br />There being no further business Chair Anderson adjourned the meeting of the Woodland <br />Trails Regional Park Grant Committee meeting at 6:05 p.m.
