| Item #1: | Future Parks & Recreation Plan on page 19. | |||
| Bob Palmer said that a 5 year plan has been adopted by the Parks & Recreation | ||||
| Board. He would like to add a purchase of approximately 40 acres for something like | ||||
| a nature park, pavillions, nature trails, and maybe a community center. Another idea | ||||
| was to extend the bike path west to Montrose Township where they are constructing | ||||
| a park on the river. Maybe expand the Sports Complex to the east into Thetford | ||||
| Township. | ||||
| Mayor Yost said the City wants to cooperate with us and thinks the park is a great | ||||
| idea. He thinks connecting to the west with Montrose is good, but suggests we | ||||
| check with them as to what they are planning so there isn't a duplication of services. | ||||
| Mike Zinn suggested a community garden at the park site. Residents | ||||
| who do not have the space could utilize this area. | ||||
| Item #2 | Residential Area on page 29. | |||
| Board members were in agreement that this section was representative | ||||
| of what they wanted to see in the area. | ||||
| Item #3 | Commercial area on page 31. | |||
| Much discussion west of the expressway on M-57. It was agreed to make changes | ||||
| to two areas. First Linden Rd north of Field is designated Office/Research. That will | ||||
| be changed to single family residential. Secondly the need for two densities in the | ||||
| Multi Family area, with the difference being only the density. | ||||
| Chairperson Curtis and Bob Palmer will meet with Vilican-Leman to | ||||
| discuss these changes. | ||||
| Meeting was adjourned at 7:35pm. | ||||
