Item# 6 <br /> 'ity of MEMORANDUM <br /> j1k River TO: Park and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Stephen Wensman, Planner ) <br /> DATE: June 9, 1999 <br /> SUBJECT: BMX Update <br /> Attachments <br /> • BMX financial projections <br /> • Site map of Cass property <br /> Update <br /> On April 14, 1999, the Park and Recreation Commission asked the BMX <br /> group to come back to the Commission with a financial plan. The BMX group <br /> • has completed a financial projection for the Commissions review. <br /> Also at that meeting, City staff had identified an alternate location for the <br /> BMX tract on the former Cass property adjacent the ERYAC complex on <br /> 165th Street NW (See attached site map). This site has several advantages <br /> over the Hillside City Park location in that utilities are much closer, visibility <br /> is greater, bathroom facilities are closer, fewer insects to contend with, and <br /> greater room for parking and adjustments to the course. <br /> Some disadvantages include: a lack of bicycle access from residential areas <br /> and not being included in an overall bike theme park as proposed for Hillside <br /> City Park. <br /> Other Issues <br /> A few remaining issues remain to be worked include: terms of a lease <br /> agreement and accessing water and electricity from the ERYAC. <br /> • <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
