Land Use Cases - Van Den Berg Addition <br /> <br />Request for a Preliminary Plat for Van Den Berg Addition. <br /> <br />Chris Leeseberg, Planner/Parks Planner shared information regarding a request for a <br />preliminary plat for Van Den Berg Addition. Staff recommends park dedication in the form <br />of cash. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson asked what access would be available from the east or west and <br />what the status of the park boundary signs were. <br /> <br />Director of Parks and Recreation, Bill Maertz shared that there is an outlot in Trout Brook <br />South for access to the park and that the developer will be putting in park boundary signs. <br /> <br />MOVED BY COMMISSIONER NIZIOLEK AND SECONDED BY <br />COMMISSIONER PETERSON TO ACCEPT PARK DEDICATION IN CASH. <br />MOTION CARRIED 6-0. <br /> <br />8.3.A. Policy Issues – Orono Softball Complex Advertising Signs <br /> <br /> Director of Parks and Recreation, Bill Maertz shared that Recreation Coordinator, Ross <br />Demant is exploring the potential of selling advertising space on the outfield fence at the <br />Orono softball complex. Standards would be developed regarding what type of products <br />and services would be permitted. Staff is looking for direction from the Parks and <br />Recreation Commission as to whether outfield fence advertising is an appropriate revenue <br />source. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Peterson sees no reason why not to explore this option. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Anderson stated he would be willing to help and thought the first use of the <br />revenue should be to install a taller fence. <br /> <br /> Commissioners Kuester, and Nystrom agreed it would be a good idea. <br /> <br />8.3.B. Woodland Trails Entrance Sign Change <br /> <br /> Director of Parks and Recreation, Bill Maertz shared with the Commission that due to the <br />initial plan going over budget staff has reworked the design of the Woodland Trails entrance <br />sign to stay on budget. <br /> <br /> Chair Polston-Hork shared that Commissioner Paige likes the design of the sign and would <br />like to see a fieldstone foundation wall around the sign to hold landscaping. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Nystrom asked what the sign would be made of. <br /> <br /> Mr. Maertz stated the sign would be made of cedar. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Niziolek stated that the sign may give the appearance that golf course is part <br />of the park and if there could be a oak tree planted as a back drop that might help. <br /> <br /> <br />
