Item # 8.3.A. <br />rover <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Parks and Recreation Commission <br />FROM: Bill Maertz, Director of Parks and Recreation <br />DATE: June 2, 2005 <br />SUBJECT: Consider Request by Neighbor to Install Fence at Meadow Park <br />Item <br />Consider request by neighbor to install fence at Meadow Park <br />Background and Summary <br />Meadow Park is a very small neighborhood pazk with a small sliding hill and a tot swing. <br />The owner of an adjoining property has requested that the Parks Commission consider <br />fencing the boundary of the park. The homeowner has been troubled with vandalism and <br />believes the perpetrators have been gaining access to his Yazd through the pazk. Staff <br />estimates that fencing three sides of the park would cost $$2,950. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />The City of Elk River has many parks that abut neighboring yazds and establishing a <br />precedent of fencing between the park and neighbors would create a financial and <br />maintenance burden for the Pazks and Recreation Department. Staff recommends the <br />installation of additional park boundary signs in order to create a clear delineation of <br />where private property begins. <br />Action Requested <br />Deny request to install fence at Meadow Pazk. Staff will install additional pazk boundary <br />signs. <br />Attachment: <br />Plan of Meadow Park <br />
