8. Corner of State Highway 371 and County Road 11 — This area could be enhanced <br /> with shrubs,but flower beds should not be added as they have not been <br /> maintained properly in the past. <br /> 9. Band Shell Area —After discussion it was agreed to not create a boundary as <br /> participants in the Music in the Park utilize the entire area to Dru's Garden. The <br /> benches could be reoriented, but placing pavers or bricks to create a boundary is <br /> very expensive. <br /> 10.Crosswalk at County Road 11 —A visual bump out could be painted to narrow the <br /> distance and the crosswalk could be enhanced with paint. A sidewalk should be <br /> added along the south side of County Road 11 from the Trail to the stop light as a <br /> "desire path" currently exists in the dirt. <br /> 11. North end of southern half of Park—This is the event area for Bean Hole Days, <br /> Fourth of July festivities, etc. The grass in this area could be improved. The area <br /> where the pots are buried for Bean Hole Days should be improved: signage or an <br /> information kiosk should be added, install a nice fence, and add potted plants <br /> were suggested. An outdoor skating rink is very costly to maintain and should <br /> not be considered as part of the Park improvements. <br /> 12. Fishing related exhibit — Such an exhibit would be expensive and time consuming <br /> to maintain. <br /> 13. Parking Lot—The DNR will not allow removal of the parking lot unless <br /> alternative parking area is provided. There should be a low buffer planted <br /> between the Trail and the parking lot. <br /> Staff noted that the grass on the north half of the Park is"park quality";the <br /> Maintenance Department is doing an excellent job. <br /> Chair Seils called the meeting to order at 7:oop.m. <br /> Chair Seils opened the Public Hearings. <br /> PUBLIC HEARINGS <br /> APPLICANT: North Star Well Drilling, Mark Prueher <br /> Applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to Operate a Water Well <br /> Drilling Business <br /> Applicant was present.
