The City is looking for off- <br /> site wetland mitigation sites in the city as part of the County Road 13 /Tyler <br /> Street extension. The City has identified Meadowvale Heights Park as a <br /> potential site. <br /> The concept presented by Steve Rohlf included dredging out an area adjacent <br /> • to the existing wetland for mitigation and to use as a skating rink. The fill <br /> from the dredge could be used to level off the hillside for a ball field and <br /> possibly a soccer field. Steve Rohlf suggested lights could be added to the <br /> rink. <br /> Attachments <br /> • Location Map <br /> • June 10, 1998 Park and Recreation Commission Minutes <br /> • Wetland Mitigation - Concept C (Prepared by Howard R.
