III. DAVIS PARK
Driver: I understand there hasn't been very much
attendance at the past Davis Park public
meetings.
Edmonston:No, but there were not very many residents
then. Many new houses"have been built since
the public meetings.
The public meeting willtentatively be held on Monday,
April 26, 1993 at 6:30 pmat Davis Park.
IV. PARK MASTER PLAN REVIEW
Larry Wood presented the revised master plan." He
compiled the number .of building permits for the last
three years. Kimbrough sent a couple of comments: He
has questions on the sub -neighborhood concept and what is
chance of purchasing the driving range by Lake
Fayetteville..
McConnell:The man wants
Fayetteville.
i"don't want the PRAB to be the only people in
Fayetteville to understand the people/park
ratio. The mayor has made remarks about Lake
Wilson, Lake Sequoyah, etc.
Lake Sequoyah is far out, but Lake Wilson is
getting more use since we fixed the dam.
Lake Sequoyah hasn't been lowered for a couple
of years. The attendance has begun to rise
again.
Edmonston:.Lake Sequoyah is
sufficient.
Waite: We need to put ducks, etc. at Lake Wilson.
Driver: Do you think the master plan will alter parks
population ratio?
Edmonston:A lot of our land is water. Although it is
recreational, it is not the same as land to
some people. School parks aren't actually
ours, they are leased.
:That is a good thing to keep in mind. The
school parks are not our land.
Susan is saying that it looks like we have so
much land but that includes lakes.
Some peoplethink we can just trade some off.
It is too early to think of trading Lake
Sequoyah.

Clark:
too much .for that land by Lake

:The school parks have a big bearing on the
ratio.
We need to leave them in the ratio since we
use them.
:It is a good idea to have an interpretation for
the lake land.
If you are happy with the direction we are
going with the master plan, then we can finish
it.
OTHER BUSINESS:
ISTEA MEETING
Driver: What was discussed at the ISTEA meeting?
Clark: A grant must be completed. The Planning
Department will be handling this because it is
to be used for transportation.
Edmonston:We can only use this money if it will be used
for transportation, not recreation.
Kirby Mills Subdivision
Clark: Kirby Mills has been pulled from the agenda
for City Council. We will vote on it later.
The City owns ten acres of land in this area
as a waste water treatment.
McConnell:There is supposed to be some land close to
Crossover Liquor that won't be developed.
Miscellaneous Items
Driver: Where are the bathrooms at Walker Park in
budget?
Clark: Out with the sales tax.
McConnell.:What about the parking lot?
Edmonston:It is almost finished. It is
finished by baseball season on
Palmer: What is the worst picture in a
as an example?
Edmonston:Greathouse Bridge. It is very dangerous.
Driver:. How long will it take to get project back on-
line if the sales tax passes.
Clark: Probably at least 60 days.
Edmonston:The Butterfield and Asbell playground equipment
has arrived.
Clark: The Sweetbriar Park sign is up, and the
placque will be up soon..
