3. REVIEW THE PARK PLANS FOR BADGER PARKING LOT
Chair Mangold gave a short synopsis of the Badger Park Concept Plan 1.5 from WSB and asked for the Park
Commissioners feedback on the plan.
There is concern about the tight spaces for the loading and unloading of lacrosse players. It was asked how wide it
was and if cars could still get through. Public Works Director Brown said that this could be addressed by taking off
some curb just east of the handicap ramp and bump the north area as well. He also mentioned that the throat areas
need to be reviewed. The handicap spots at that point need to be reviewed and also plowing is a concern.
Gorham asked about the visibility at the pitch points and what the landscape plans were. Planning Director Darling
said that they are not that far along, but that she has met with the contractor.
Planning Director Darling explained the rain garden, and that this is a storm water requirement. Engineering is
looking at where to place the rain garden. She explained that there are other options but the rain garden is the most
cost effective. She also mentioned that the sidewalk is being included in the plans.
There was discussion regarding the monument turnaround. Planning Director Darling explained that the monument
turnaround would include stamped, decorative pavement and plantings. Mangold asked Public Works Director
Brown if the turnaround was a good idea with all the throat and neck areas. It was stated that the circular area is a
good focal point. Vassar asked if the turnaround was necessary? Brown stated that some object needs to be there
and that can be achieved without the monument. A simple curb, bowtie in the middle would suffice. He will talk
with the engineer on this. The question is how much parking are we losing from the monument and can there be
more parking without it. Darling will check on the extended parking and the throat issues.

Planning Director Darling and Public Works Director Brown will work with WSB on the changes and contact the
