Discussion -- Section 36/Site Plan with Soccer Representative
Director Frates recognized members of the soccer group in attendance and presented
the conceptual site plan drawn by Architect Peter Klauder. Frates reviewed the plan
with those present and discussion followed.
Gneeral ideas and questions were addressed with respect to wind, size, and number of
fields. Frates explained those items had been flushed out in a meeting with Klauder,
soccer representatives and himself earlier. Hultberg questioned why only four fields
were included in the plan and Frates explained the intention was to focus on the
minimum number of fields needed for what is expected to be a phased project. Frates
also noted, he and others were gathering pertinent information in anticipation of
grants and it was anticipated information received would be available in November for
review.
The Commission recommended the plan be adopted as a working document and it be
forwarded to council.

comments. Hultberg indicated he and his wife reviewed the proposal and were

be aware of the issue. He added, this is one of many items still needing to be reviewed
by the dip net committee.
