K�viSeo� tr/�6�p� <br />Mr. Talley stated that the Commission may also want to consider the traffic caused by <br />bicyclists, skate borders and in-line skaters when the type of material is chosen for the rest of <br />the parks sidewalks. There was some discussion over the hazards of skate boards, skaters and <br />bicyclists and the appropriateness of recommending a paving material that is unfriendly for such <br />recreational activities. There was more discussion over if the Commission has the right to limit <br />such activities. Mr. Talley noted that it might be wise to approve the proposed project to help <br />maintain a friendly atmosphere between the Commission and the Parks department. He also <br />noted that the proposed parking lot is shown in the Westerly Report, which the Commission has <br />already approved, thus, the Commission has approved this project. Mr. Oxian suggested that <br />Mr. Talley discuss the surface and activities issues with the Parks Department. Mr. Zmyslo <br />stated that he could not imagine a park that did not allow the above mentioned activities and <br />questioned the Commissions authority to restrict such activities. Mr. Oxian stated that the <br />Commission could not restrict the activities. Mr. Zmyslo stated that he did not believe the <br />Commission should be involved in such a topic. Mrs. Hostetler stated that since the parks <br />designation was based on the rehabilitation of an hsitoric landscape, the Commission should be <br />involved and concerned about this topic, but, can only affect it through recommending materials <br />to be used if activities are to restricted and if activities are not to be restricted. Mr. Zmyslo <br />asked what the original paths were made of. Mr. Talley stated that they were made of Peat <br />Gravel. There was more discussion over the restriction of activities in the park and <br />recommended paving materials. Mrs. Hostetler moved to approve the application. Mrs. Petrass <br />seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. <br />2. Leeper Park - Rose Garden Plaque <br />Mr. Talley presented the staff report and circulated photographs. He also noted that the plaque <br />is being placed in the location of the water fountain which has led the staff to recommend <br />temporary approval of the location until the reintroduction of the fountain. Mr. Fine asked if <br />the plaque is to be moved to another location in the park when the fountain is installed. Mr. <br />Talley stated that it should be relocated to another spot in the Sunken Garden. Mr. Zmyslo <br />asked if a permanent location for the plaque could be designated now. Mr. Talley stated that he <br />has given the Parks Department temporary permission to install the plaque, because, the <br />dedication of the plaque was held on the 20th. Mrs. Sporleder noted that the plaque was placed <br />on the west end of the garden and not the east end. Mr. Zmyslo moved to approve the plaque in <br />its present location on a temporary basis until the water fountain is reinstalled in its original <br />location at which time the plaque will be moved to a permanent location with in the park to be <br />determined at a later date by the Commission and the Parks and Recreation Department. Mrs. <br />Sporleder seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. <br />3. Historic District Guidelines <br />Mr. Oxian asked if the guidelines were finished. Mrs. Saunders stated that she did not want to <br />make any corrections in the guidelines until all the Commission members had submitted their <br />corrections. Mr. Oxian told the Commission members to look at their guidelines and hand in <br />their corrections. <br />C <br />
