1. Kevin Moran Park
Commissioner Ward went over results of public meeting on Kevin
Moran Park. Consensus of neighbors is to keep the park pretty much
as it is. Need to hold off on decision until open space survey is
completed. If Community activity need is not met here it will have
to be met someplace else. Agreed with need to combine master plan
for both Kevin Moran and Azule Park sites.
2. Beauchamps Park
Plan to meet with Community after the first of the year to discuss
planning for this neighborhood park.
Councilman Peterson suggested that the Commission may wish to take
an overall look at facilities and needs rather than work on a park-
by-park basis. Pedestrian trails and access should also be a part
of overall open space planning.
Commission to plan to meet in January to develop an overall scope
of work to pull together an overall plan for parks and trails to
hire a consultant to do the work.
