Members Absent: John Rak and Marvin Super
Meeting to have Mr. Paul Fjare and Mr. Bob Dill from Braurer and Associates
to show the members of the Park Board the preliminary plans for Prestemon
Park before the presentation to the residents of that area.
The concept of plans shown by Braurer were what we wanted to be proposed
to the people surrounding Prestemon Park.
This proposed park will be divided into two sections, an active and
passive. The active portion will be facing the multi-family area on
39th Avenue and McKinley Street. This.will consist of a softball
diamond, skating area, hockey rink, building and wading pool. The
passive section, which consists of tennis courts, picnic 9rounds, and
play area will face the residential housing on Cleveland Street and
39½ Avenue.
It was suggested that we stree the opening of 39th Avenue so that the
flow of vehicles can enter the active area and detour the traffic from
the residential section.
Members of the Park Board approved the plans as shown by Braurer and
Associates.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
