Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes Page 2 <br />July 14, 2021 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br /> Anna Wagner 432 Proctor Avenue shared that she started playing pickleball this year, <br />and it is fun and social for the seniors. All ages can play, seniors need shade, it would <br />be difficult to play in the high heat and the shade and windscreens will help. Players <br />are not going to Highland Park to play any longer. <br /> <br /> Steve Christenson 807 Line Avenue stated the pickleball is the fastest growing sport <br />in North America. Fun for people who have not been athletic in the past, it is for all <br />abilities. Otsego is the premier court in the area. <br /> <br /> Mr. Hecker stated that the commission had work sessions and got input from <br />pickleball players regarding the initial design and your requests will be looked at with <br />commission members in the near future. <br /> <br />6. Presentations - None <br /> <br />7.1 Park Dedication – Tall Pines Third Addition <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker shared his staff report. <br /> <br />Commissioner Niziolek asked if there is a plan for how the trails will be constructed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wagner shared that there will be sidewalks on Line Ave. along with <br />a trail that is in the second addition to access Twin Lakes Road. <br /> <br />Moved by Commissioner Niziolek and seconded by Commissioner Rathbun <br />to recommend to City Council to accept staff recommendations to accept <br />park dedication for Tall Pines PUD Third Addition to be paid, at the <br />applicable rate, for the final number of dwelling units when the lots are <br />released for recording. Motion carried 5-0. <br /> <br />7.2 Trott Brook Park Tennis Court and Country Crossing Park Basketball <br />Projects <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker shared his staff report stating that due to the higher cost quotes staff is <br />required to go out for bids instead of the quotes that were received regarding Trott <br />Brook Park Tennis Courts but will be able to move ahead with the basketball court <br />at Country Crossing Park. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rathbun shared that a delay may get a better cost. <br /> <br />Commissioner Soltvedt asked if the bidding was on both amenities at the same time <br />is then Country Crossing basketball court cost too high?
