Current Project as Designed and Bid <br /> The projects currently designed and bid is shown on Attachment 1. This is the location <br /> that was identified in the 1985 Tennis and Community Park Master Plan. This location <br /> works well with the existing park sidewalks, park storm drainage facilities, and electric <br /> power for the court lighting. <br /> PROS CONS <br /> • consistent with the approved location in • divides picnic and playground from a <br /> the master plan large turf area <br /> • ability to utilize existing electrical line to • requires the removal of 4 trees, 3 of which <br /> light basketball courts are heritage trees <br /> • tennis courts shielded from neighborhood • removes approximately 1/2 acre of grass <br /> by existing trees <br /> • most cost effective option at this time <br /> • least amount of delay to project <br /> • limited demolition <br /> • limited new pathways <br /> • close proximity to other courts <br /> Alternative One <br /> The alternative shown on Attachment 2 leaves the two courts in the same general location <br /> as in the current plans, but pushes the courts approximately 75-feet to the northeast. This <br /> alternative requires a sidewalk to be removed and relocated but saves a large portion of <br /> the grass area that the neighborhood indicated is very important. <br /> PROS CONS <br /> • consistent with the approved location in • requires demolition and construction of <br /> the master plan additional pathways <br /> • ability to utilize existing electrical line to • requires the removal of 6 trees, 1 of which <br /> light basketball courts is a heritage tree <br /> • limited demolition • would add significant design costs <br /> • tennis courts shielded from neighborhood • would delay construction for a minimum <br /> by existing trees of 6 months <br /> • close proximity to other courts • removes approximately 1/2 acre of grass <br /> • existing storm drainage system requires <br /> minimal modification <br /> • allows direct connection between grass <br /> and playground/picnic area <br /> Page 6 of 8 <br />
