SUBJECT:
NORTH SHORE PARK AND YOUTH CENTER PLAN
Over the past two weeks the Administration has met with each of you individually to present a
modified plan for the construction for the North Shore Park and Youth Center. The modifications
discussed were a direct result of comments and input received at the following public meetings:
1. Community workshops held at North Shore Park on February 29th and April 13 th, 2000;
2. North BeachY outh Center Oversight Committee meetings on March 30th, April 5th and May
11 th, 2000; and
3. Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board on May 4, 2000.
The modifications requested focused on the following points:
· The substitution of two (2) of the twelve (12) clay tennis courts in the new tennis center with
hard surface tennis courts. The community felt this modification would better enable youth
learning the game of tennis, as well as youth playing for their schools, to practice and play
on the surface that is most commonly used for this level of play and competition.
Additionally, it was felt by some that having a choice of clay or hard courts better served the
community.
. The option of adding outdoor basketball courts in the southwest section of the park for
individuals who may prefer them to the basketball courts that will be constructed in the
gymnasium. The additional court(s) would be sited in the area that is currently a parking lot.
Any parking spaces eliminated would require on street parking to be reconilgured to angle
parking.
Based on these discussions and your comments, a consensus on these issues was developed. Unless
advised of additional concerns, on the morning of May 26, 2000 the Administration will instruct the
project architects to:
. Design the tennis complex to include two (2) hard surface tennis courts and ten (10) clay
(Hydro) courts.
. Include one (1) outdoor fenced basketball court on the southwest end of the park. (Please
refer to the attached site plan for a comprehensive overview). In conjunction with this, the
Administration will begin the planning process to reconfigure on street parking.
Barring any further revisions, this notification to the architects will enable them to continue working
toward the projected July 19th bid issuance.
Should you have questions or comments, please advise.
