Huset Park: Update of Master Plan Attached are two concepts that would modify the 2004 Master Plan for Huset Park, by moving the splash pad from the east side of the park in the original to the west side. The locations shown are based on the site visit conducted with the Commission at their June 2014 regular meeting. In each, a 3,000 square foot pad area is provided. Each concept modifies the trails based on the layout, and modifies the lower JPM parking. Another difference between the two concepts is that Concept 1 removes the senior activity Bocce Ball/Horseshoes while concept 2 leaves it in. Representatives from the City’s park planner, WSB (formerly Brauer and Associates) will be present to present and discuss each concept. B. Labelle Park Final Plan review Attached are 95% complete plans for the Labelle Park project. The work consists of two primary components: 1. Water quality ponds (2), and 2. Boardwalk removal and slope restoration. The water quality ponds are stnd located near each parking lot serving the park at both 41 and 42 Avenues. The design is that of an infiltration basin, similar to the ponds recently installed at Ramsdell Park with plantings. The boardwalk and boardwalk area will be removed and the slope restored with either retaining wall stone, or 3:1 slopes and plantings to naturalize the slope. New trail connections are also included. An add-alternate is also included that removes the basketball court and placed a shelter and scenic overlook in that area, consistent with the Master Plan. Staff will review the plans and seek input from the Commission for final plans. 5. NEW BUSINESS A.
