MINUTE10.9 /PRAGENDA Minutes of the Parks and Recreation Commission 3 October 9, 1989 Commissioner Crockatt recommended moving the proposed volleyball courts south and adjacent to the basketball court to allow more open space for the use of informal (family) softball play. Also, he recommended adding handicap access by the two proposed picnic tables in the southwest corner of the park. If the volleyball courts are moved south as recommended by Commissioner Crockatt, staff suggested continuing the proposed tree line to separate the active play areas from the passive play areas and to mitigate noise. Another consideration recommended by staff was to move the basketball court further west, move the volleyball courts further south and adjacent to the basketball court, and instead of placing the proposed sidewalk as shown, bring the sidewalk between the volleyball and basketball courts. This configuration would also allow open space for the play of softball. MOTION: Commissioner Radich moved and Commissioner Crockatt seconded a motion to approve the proposed master plan of development for Griffin Park as presented with the following modifications: 1) move the basketball courts further west; 2) move the volleyball courts further south and adjacent to the basketball court; 3) move the sidewalk east from its present proposed location and place it between the basketball and volleyball courts; 4) add handicap access to the two picnic tables located in the southwest corner of the park.
