MEMORANDUM 08-124

 

To:                   Mayor Hornaday and Homer City Council

Through:         Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission

From:              Julie Engebretsen, Planning Technician

Date:               August 29, 2008

Subject:          Karen Hornaday Hillside Park Master Plan

 

 

Introduction

The Commission has discussed the park master plan numerous times over the past year. At their meeting of August 21, 2008, they forwarded a recommendation to the City Council that the Council adopt a resolution approving the master plan.

 

The aspect of the plan that has had the most public attention and comment was the proposal to remove a significant amount of fill from the eastern parking lot, the engineer’s cost estimate of approximately $44,000 for this work, and the idea of building a trail or network of trails between the parking lot and the creek.

 

Recommendation

Review the master plan and adopt the resolution
