RecreationandParkCommission | 2007-02-08 | 6 | Ingram suggested going to the Sports Advisory Committee to get their input on other groups using the field. Mr. Knopf asked about the possiblity of using synthetic turf. Commissioner Ingram stated that he checked and he did not think it was feasible. Director Lillard asked if the Miracle League found another location for their field, what would happen to the 1.2 acres. Would it still be a field? Mr. Knopf stated that would still be a part of the waterfront promenade and could still be a ball field. Commissioner Ingram stated that one of the things missing is the 4-5 acre park talked about at the Commission Meeting last month. A park has everything (e.g., play area, field, etc.) all in one area. He feels this plan is cut and separated. Bayport has a park in the middle of their residential area. Commissioner Ingram stated that he felt that the message was clear last month that the Commission wanted a 4-5 acre park and this plan is basically saying that it is not going to happen. Mr. Knopf stated that there is nothing to bring back to the Commission with regard to the residential area because there are no plans at this point. Commissioner Reeves stated that in these plans the developer is dealing with buildings that are already in the area and providing as much recreation as they can. The Commission asked them to come up with a ball field. They have come up with a ball field whether Miracle League uses the field or the field is used by other groups. There is not another way to get a large park in this area without removing existing buildings. M/S/C REEVES/RESTAGNO (approved) "That the plan submitted be adopted." Approved (6): Ogden, Kahuanui, Ingram, Johnson, Reeves, Restagno Not Approved (1): Cooper Commissioner Ingram stated that it is frustrating as a Commissioner to have received the information regarding a project on the night for consideration and action on the issue. Agenda items should be given to the Commissioner's a week in advance. 7. REPORTS FROM RECREATION COMMISSION AND RECREATION AND PARK DIRECTOR A. Park Division See February 5, 2007 Activity Report. B.
