Master Park and Recreation Plan - Sanders & Associates. Inc. At the February Park and Recreation meeting, Draft #2 of the Master Park and Recreation Plan was distributed to the Commission and discussed in a preliminary fashion. At this meeting it was the desire of the Commission to go through a "page by page" review of this plan in an effort to give Mr. Sanders as much input as possible so that Draft #3, when distributed at the April Park and Recreation meeting, can be a nearly completed final draft. e During the page by page review of Draft #2, all Commission members participated in an active discussion over missing information in the plan; corrections with inconsistent information; questions regarding implementation of the plan; questions regarding updating of the plan as new parks are purchased and developed; how the trail system can be developed; and the development of a new section for the listing of overall goals or a summary page of the document. Mr. Sanders distributed to the Commission a draft of the Implementation Section of the Master Plan. A great deal of discussion took place regarding the priori ties of the Master Plan in terms of which park and recreation items are most important to pursue first and which ones should receive funding first. At this time Mr. Sanders and Mr. Page reviewed with the Commission the preliminary mapping and information compiled regarding the focused area studies for the Woodland Trails Park and the Hillside Park. Unique features regarding the Woodland Trails Park include the variety of the land which includes hills, valleys, and water; the access problems for the park; and the existing cross country ski trails. Highlights of the Hillside Park include concern over proper access to the area, concern over the existing dump site, the concern over the power line corridor and the future development of a trail system within this area. 6.
