Memo to Mayor & City Council/P&R Update May 21, 2001 Page 2 stadium. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City contribute $5,000 from the Park Equipment Reserve to assist in funding the Handke Stadium renovation project. Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Commission's recommendation and provide $5,000 of assistance from the Park Equipment Reserve to fund the Handke Stadium renovation project. Lincoln Elementary Playground The Commission reviewed the request by the Lincoln Elementary Parent-Teacher Organization to assist in funding a new playground and Lincoln Elementary School. However, as there were no representatives from the Lincoln Elementary P.T.O., this item was postponed until the June meeting for further consideration. Kliever Lake Fields The preliminary plat of Kliever Lake Fields was reviewed the Park and Recreation Commission. After much discussion and negotiation, the Commission agreed to accept approximately 7.9 acres of land for park dedication for the entire 79.16 acres. The proposed preliminary plat will include approximately 101 single-family homes and Outlot C which is slated to be developed as townhomes, once the City's townhome ordinance has been amended and if the property is rezoned. The 7.9 acres of park will be bounded on two sides by public streets and on the third by a power line easement. Property to the south is available for development and it is hoped that the park can be further expanded when that property is subdivided. Driveway in Hillside City Park The residents living adjacent to Hillside City Park were in attendance to discuss a revised driveway through park property to serve their homes (see attached memo for background information). The Commission reviewed the proposed driveway alignment and slope proposed by the County. After much discussion with the residents, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council that the original driveway designed by the County and exhibited on Sheet 19 of 58 in the Plan Book be adhered to and that no further encroachment into the park be allowed. Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Park and Recreation Commission's recommendation regarding the driveway through Hillside City Park to serve the adjacent residents.
