The discussion occurred during the <br /> master plan review for Bailey Point. <br /> The Commission recommends paving the parking lot and road entrance into the park for aesthetic and <br /> maintenance reasons. It was also discussed that a trail head entrance be installed to lead people from the <br /> parking lot into the park. <br /> A paved parking lot will decrease overall park maintenance during the winter/early spring months. <br /> During the post-winter season, staff and volunteers spend many hours cleaning up and replacing parking <br /> lot stone that was removed from snow plowing. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> $26,000 project cost paid with proceeds from recent park donations ($15,000) and the remainder from <br /> the Park Improvement Fund. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ <br /> None <br /> P a w E A E U s r <br /> Template Updated 4/14 INIM UREI <br />
