So in regards to if we should build it, I would vote yes. I initially was leaning towards the other lot; Lot 37, but I think the comment or feedback we received tonight about it being Lot 11 does make sense and with the parking element that has been discussed, I know this is a workshop so we don't necessarily have to rule on it, but I'm personally okay with not taking the second lot but I am looking at where Lot 11 is and Parcel B on the map where it's basically the bulb to the court and from my view if they somehow straighten the bulb and cause it to be less linear or have less curvature to allow for perpendicular parking into that Parcel B area kind of at the head of the bulb —I don't know how to necessarily describe that —but I would presume you could get not necessarily ample parking but you could get some parking and I think it might help me get to a solution that might meet everyone's needs. In my opinion, there's no doubt that they should be able to dedicate this to the City and the City should accept it and I can't believe that government beaurocracy could stop something so, in my opinion and only in mine, logical. Commissioner Brown: I hesitate to speak since I know I'm being the dissenting voice tonight, but so first of all, I have a community park just a couple of blocks from my house and I have a toddler, and I think it was just the other week when all of a sudden we had to make an emergency potty break and I had to literally run down the sidewalk with her, so I do sympathize. I have seen the linear park and if I look at the lot layout I can certainly see why somebody in the far reaches of the community would want a bathroom. I'm a little bit on the fence so given we're not voting tonight, I'm not going to come up with a hard and fast...I can take public input. If the majority of residents want it and are not opposed to putting in a restroom facility, I would rather Ponderosa maintain the facility in perpetuity over the Park and Rec Department frankly and if you were to ask me which lot, I would say the Lot 11 that was mentioned. And, in terms of the meeting room, one of the questions I had is, it was mentioned that there is Boy Scout meetings, advocacy group meetings, etc. How large are those meetings? And is the proposed meeting room large enough to accommodate those for like how large is the advocacy group meetings that meets once a month? And how large is the proposed uses and if it's not large enough for those meetings, then why build it I guess would be my question. Like I said, these are more comments than anything else and I'm not proposed to come hard and fast on the other two. Commissioner Allen: I appreciate all of the comments. I also did want to disclose that I did meet with the developer. I met with Connie Cox over the phone and I walked the park and talked to about 10 residents, including the woman who has the day care center who is here. Everyone I talked to lives in that area; in the Valley Trails area, and there wasn't anyone coming from outside that area. I also tended to talk to ... many of the people aren't represented today and they were from the Yosemite Court area which is the area a little nearer to where the restrooms would be. I think right now where the playground is. (audience —It's not Yosemite) Commissioner Allen: Oh, sorry. It's near that area.
