PURPOSE
Adopting a Resolution approving the Master Plan for Neighborhood Park in the Cherry Meadows Subdivision located at 17th and Zeno St.
BACKGROUND
The City contracted with Stanley Consultants to develop a Master Plan for the construction of the neighborhood Park located in the Cherry Meadows Subdivision. The Park is located on the corner of 17th Ave and Zeno St. and is four and 8/10 acres (4.8) in size. The process to develop the master plan was to host three neighborhood meeting to solicited public input into the amenities the neighbors wanted in their neighborhood park. The first neighborhood meeting was held June 18, 2015 at the Brighton Recreation Center. The second public meeting was held July 16, 2015 at the park site. Both meetings were well attended by the neighbors. Based on input from the neighbors the final Master Plan was developed and presented at the third public meeting. The third public meeting was held at the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Meeting on August 5, 2015. Attached is the Master Plan drawings and the results of the surveys taken during the neighborhood meetings. The master plan reflect the request of the neighborhood during the meetings. The park will be very unique in Brighton. The playground is a natural exploration experience and not the typical post and platform playground. The landscaping is xeric in nature. The bluegrass turf area is limited.
The Park and Recreation Advisory Board has reviewed the Master Plan and recommend the approval of the Master Plan by the City Council.
Due to funding limitations the park is not scheduled for construction at this time
