Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes Page 2 <br />August 14, 2024 <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Binsfeld gave a history about the program and what they offer to the miliary community. The <br />event will be from 10:00am to 2:00pm and include yard games, a corn hole tournament, and food <br />trucks. The event is a fundraiser with sponsors and with tickets to be sold for the cornhole <br />tournament instead of a 5k. See handouts for the schedule for the day and information about the <br />organization. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson asked if they have done this event before in other communities. Mr. Binsfeld has put <br />together events but has never done a cornhole tournament. They are hoping for an attendance of 100- <br />300 people. It is the first time they are trying something like this. <br /> <br />They hope to provide a positive community event for military members past and present and their <br />families and raise mental health awareness. Chair Anderson asked Mr. Binsfeld to come back and tell <br />them how it goes. <br /> <br />Moved by Commissioner Niziolek and seconded by Commissioner Goodwin to allow the <br />event and promote the event. Motion carried 7-0. <br /> <br />6.2 Bradford Park South Development-Lennar Homes <br /> <br />Mr. Stremcha presented his report and asked for recommendations for feedback to accept park <br />dedication money or additional land that they deem as value. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson asked Mr. Stremcha if he had done the math on this. Commissioner Niziolek said the <br />master plan shows the trail continuing all around the lake and he feels that they should stick to that <br />plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Stremcha clarified that it is not a lake but a body of water. Commissioner Niziolek pointed out it <br />is clean water derived from an aquifer that was punctured. He also feels it is of great significance to <br />our community. <br /> <br />Mr. Stremcha said that the commission can recommend but the council will make their decision and <br />consider the recommendations from the commission. Chair Anderson agrees with Commissioner <br />Niziolek about continuing the trail all around the water. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fermoyle asked when the master plan was created. The commissioners confirmed it is <br />the 2018 trails master plan they are referring too. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson said it is like an artisan well and has a lot of untapped potential to the community. <br />Commissioner Goodwin asked if adding the full trail loop would eat up all the park dedication money. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson clarified that this option would only use a portion of the money and that it is always a <br />balancing act to weight the money vs. the amenity. Commissioner Goodwin asked if there were other <br />parks in this area. Mr. Stremcha reviewed the original layout of the park with the commission and <br />explained that being a new development there are no other parks. <br /> <br />Commissioner Varty also agreed that the trail should continue in a circle. <br /> <br />Page 10 of 84
