TO : Parks & Recreation Commission FROM : Red Morton Community Park Committee , Chairman Knecht DATE : July 19 , 1976 SUBJECT : REVIEW OF DICKEY STREET PARKING LOT DESIGN The Red Morton Community Park Committee met on July 19 , 1976 . Commis - sioners present were Knecht and Buckhout and Commissioner Aldrich was absent . In addition to the staff , the meeting was attended by Bill Martin and Dale Burrious of the Public Works Department . The Committee reviewed the preliminary site plans for the Dickey Street Parking Lot as prepared and presented by the Public Works Department . They prepared seven different sketches of the proposed layout for the parking lot and described each one together with the preliminary cost estimate . The plan selected by the Committee upon recommendation of the staff , will provide for a total of 96 parking spaces . The ingress and egress for the parking area is well laid out and will provide for a turnaround at McGarvey Field for loading and unloading as well as for access through the parking lot . Additionally , a service entrance is provided for park maintenance from the parking lot which will not interfere with the parking and traffic flow of the parking lot . The plan will provide for the preservation of all the mature trees which are currently in the area and will separate the parking from McGarvey Field with a landscaped buffer zone . The present access to the rear of the homes on the north side of the parking lot will be continued until such time that this access can be acquired by the City . The entrance to the parking lot will be landscaped so as to screen the area as much as possible as well as improve the aesthetics of the parking lot . Lighting for the area is also being designed . The Public Works Department will now proceed with working drawings and specifications together with final cost estimates for this project . -6 -
