Public Input to Open Space and Recreation Commission About forty residents were in attendance. Several residents spoke to the Commissioners regarding the proposed changes to Medley Park. Comments included: • Concern about increased traffic and parking in the area where the streets have been narrowed. • No adequate off street parking/parking lots. • Concern regarding access for maintenance vehicles. - • Walkway to dog park area is too close to the play structure therefore increasing the potential for children to be harmed by dogs. Potential dog behavior issues like barking and aggressive behavior. • Increased animal feces in the park. • There seems to be no regard for the value of open space. • Poor and damp soil conditions and flooding in areas of the park. • Cost to maintain proposed amenities. • Proposed amenities are taking half the park away. • Tennis courts are utilized by residents and should be reconstructed. • Keep tennis courts in their current condition and allow residents to utilize at their own risk. • Who to contact for issues and/or aggressive behavior by dogs or owners. • Not the appropriate area for either amenity. a Not at Medley — look for alternate location that is more centrally located within the city. • Consider adding an asphalt trail loop in the park. • Consider what the neighborhood is giving up to add both amenities. Consider long grasses and open spaces designed for butterflies. • Addition of a dog park will benefit those without a fenced yard. Birno said in addition to taking public input tonight, the city has also created an online survey regarding the proposed amenity changes at Medley, which will be available through the city website from November 25 thru December 31, 2019. He said all input will be compiled and share with the City Council. 8. Commission and Staff Updates A.
