Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes Page 6 <br />March 13, 2024 <br /> <br /> <br />and if some of the property became available adjacent to it higher up, they would want to make the <br />trail closer to the road and parking area and shorten the trail in the future. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stewart asked if there was any public open house besides the one the FMR had. Mr. <br />Hecker confirmed there was not. Once the commission makes their decision on some of the items <br />then the actual final resource plan will go to the City Council for approval. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson asked if they could survive with on street parking and not add any additional. <br />Commissioner Niziolek said this is feasible. The commissioners agreed not to add off street parking. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker asked if the commission thought people would like to add picnic tables. The <br />commissioners said there already are two. Commissioner Niziolek said that there should be verbiage <br />for a future shelter and place it at the end of the gravel road at the lower west side where the three <br />trails meet like an X spaghetti junction. Mr. Hecker will follow up next month with the changes <br />suggested tonight. <br /> <br /> <br />8.2 Disc Golf Open House <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker presented his staff report. <br /> <br />Mr. Stremcha asked if there was any input from the Commission about what they would like at the <br />disc golf open house. Chair Anderson said the questions he has are if we have an active disc golf <br />community, do we need a course at all, should it be 9 or 18 holes, and how many acres would be <br />needed for each size of course. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson asks that alternate locations are not explored at that meeting that information <br />gathered from the open house come back to the commission and then locations discussed, design, <br />costs. He wants to then discuss all the park locations they have and start taking control of the process <br />that way. <br /> <br />Mr. Stremcha asked if Chair Anderson wanted to include in the open house the question of where <br />people would like it to be. Chair Anderson said that he would like to know where in the community <br />they would like it to be located. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brown shared that it would be good to know what amenities they want around it. For <br />example, do the golfers want the course to have trees, prairie, water? Also, what type of topography <br />and size of parking lot? Commissioner Niziolek suggested that it could be a private venture or joint <br />with the city if there was someone with land. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brown suggested that there could be a joint venture like the associations and City <br />fields. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer shared his concerns about building a course without knowing what kind of <br />usage it would get. Chair Anderson said that we will gather information from the open house and <br />bring it back to discuss. Chair Anderson said it would be nice to have a core group of disc golfers that <br />would work with the commission on the details such as site visits etc.
