There being no quorum, the meeting was closed. A brief work session was held in
which Frates reviewed the information in the packet, including the site plan and use
management guidelines. Frates explained, council wished to dedicate 25 acres toward
the project and not the entire 53.8 acres; a new metes and bounds map was developed;
the site plan did not change except for the boundaries; and, the 200 foot buffer
between the fields and the adjoining residential area remained.
Ben Langham, resident of the adjoining residential area, questioned whether a fence
was being considered to surround the fields and Frates stated it was not part of the
grant. A general discussion took place on trespass issues and how those concerns
could be addressed, including signage near the residential area and the Kenai Spur
Highway. Other discussion focused on fences v. berms, the advantages and
disadvantages of each, and use of trails to prevent trespassing.
It was noted the issue would be included on the Commission's regular meeting agenda
of May 5 and comments could be forwarded to city administration.
