The over 30 citizens attending <br /> provided input indicating high interest and support for the <br /> project. Attached you will find the record of the public comments <br /> received during the public workshop as prepared by Singer and <br /> Hodges, Inc. Staff has reviewed the comments and find them an <br /> accurate summar~ of the input. <br /> <br /> PROGRAM ISSUES <br /> The consultants are prepared to develop alternatives based on the <br /> basic master plan. It would be helpful to receive direction <br /> regarding several program issues raised by the public, consultants <br /> or staff prior to developing the alternatives. Those issues are: <br /> <br /> 1. Puttinq Green/GOlf Practice Ca~e: During the workshop, there <br /> Was general agreement that the putting green and golf practice <br /> cage was an undesirable program element because of the ongoing <br /> high maintenance cost and the proximity of the existing <br /> driving range and putting green. Staff agrees that this <br /> program element is no longer attractive and supports its <br /> elimination- <br /> <br /> 2. Number of Tennis Courts: The issue of total number of tennis <br /> ~ourts has been studieu by staff. The Master Plan includes 12 <br /> courts. At this time, staff believes the number of courts <br /> could be reduced to 10 and still meet community needs. <br /> Reducing the number of tennis courts by 2 provides more design <br /> <br /> <br />
