Commissioner Sabine recognized Tom Zanic of Urban West and inquired as to what Urban West is under obligation to construct at North Village park. Urban West is responsible for trees, shrubs, lawn, curb & gutter. They are not responsible for the hard surfaces or play equipment. Urban West is ready to move on this park site and they are wanting to coordinate the plans with the desires of the Commission. Mr. Zanic informed the Commission he would be presenting this site plan to the Neighbor Council for their review and then bring it back to the Commission. It was explained to Mr. Zanic that the Commission meeting is open to the public and the Neighborhood Council is welcome to attend. The Commission does not want the public misled into thinking all the recreation items proposed will be included in this park site, at this time. Urban West is not responsible for all the recreational item shown in the proposed plan. The proposed plan for the park includes: Picnic shelters, area for future tennis courts (2), jogging trail, walkways, entry monument, trees, grass and 42 inch chain link fence. Other suggestions from the Commission were: parking lot, area for future hard court surface for basketball or tennis courts, playing field apx. 195 x 300 for soccer and football and' adult exercise area and tot lot. The Commission would like the park planned in such a way as not to disrupt the• trees and shrubs at a later date when the park is improved. Items of interest: 1. It is probably not permitted to use Quimby Fees for future additional improvements to the park since Urban West will not be paying any Quimby Fees. 2. The park should have an area for a future hard surface for basketball, volleyball or tennis courts. 3. Space for two full ball diamonds is probably not possible. Commissioner Roe recommended sending the Neighborhood Councils and Homeowners notices that this park will be reviewed at an October meeting. The developer will have plans ready for their review prior to the meeting. Parks & Recreation Minutes August 28, 1985 Page 3 North Village park cunt.
