Ikylyns Ridge Concept Park Design Presentation and Puhlic Comment-
Brown started the meeting by showing the concept plans for Kylyns Ridge Park design,phase I to the
residents. Chris Funkhouser of Schoppe Designs explained the phase I concept A&B drawings with two
different themes, a Civil War concept or a Pirates concept,that the residents could choose from.
Funkhouser said there are no definite plans at this time for phase II of the concept drawings,just the
possibility of what the park could add on in the future.
Residents expressed that they already have a soccer field, and that they are worried about future use and
parking in the area. Brown said the intent for the park is for neighborhood use;that age appropriate
equipment will be incorporated for all ages to use,and that picnic tables with shelter and benches will also
be included. Residents responded that they would like to see more than two benches, and the residents
would like the addition of a drinking fountain if possible. Some residents also said they would like a full
court basketball instead of half courts. Residents inquired how quickly the plans would be implemented.
Brown responded,weather permitting,before next May she would like to see the park developed. Brown
stated the city has a timetable and needs to proceed as quickly as possible,but the developer still owns the
property.
Brown then asked for a show of hands for each concept plan. Concept Park Plan A,the Civil War theme
was chosen unanimously. Brown thanked all the residents for coming and for all their ideas and input.
She asked the residents please contact her if they had any further questions or ideas.
The meeting ended at 6:50 p.m.
