<br />Mr. Sullivan asked if the first feet of the entire Sports Park was replaced with new <br />soil? <br />Mr. Wolfe said that it would be the same type of clay soil. He noted that there are <br />several differences between the Sports Park and this project. The Sports Park is <br />not a school site and staff has the ability to work on the turf areas from morning <br />until mid-afternoon when the sports groups utilize the fields. City staff has certain <br />advantages that the School District does not in terms of maintaining the turf. The <br />School District's primary use of fields is for school purposes. <br />Mr. Sullivan was under the impression that people would park in the school <br />parking lot if the fence was built and then have to walk through the school to get <br />to the fields. <br />Mr. Wolfe said that was correct. At the initial meeting to review the plan, the <br />DonlonNal Vista neighbors were concerned about the amount of traffic on Payne <br />Road and Denker Drive and potential parking impacts to neighbors. <br />If the fence was built, Mr. Sullivan wanted to be sure the intent was not to keep <br />the fences closed unless the School or the Little League is using the fields. <br />Mr. Wolfe said the School District recognizes that they would not lock the fences <br />to access the fields. Again, the idea of the fencing is to discourage parking on <br />Payne Road and Denker Drive and not to preclude use of the field area. <br />Mr. Sullivan asked for the number of responses related to fencing versus no <br />fencing. <br />Mr. Wolfe said that initially, the responses were 80 percent opposed to the <br />fencing. It has since evened out to about an even split for fencing versus no <br />fencing. He noted that the majority of the responses in opposition to no fencing <br />are coming from the neighbors that live on Payne Road, as well as from <br />neighbors that live at the south end of the site. These residents like the open <br />
