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.
