ALASKA From: Date: RE: Parks & Recreation Commission Robert J. Frates, Parks & Recreation Directo~ September 29, 2005 Kenni Kennel Club- Dog Park Attached is a dmR site plan of the dog park that was forwarded to me by Rhonda Oglesby. The plan calls for a 300' x 300' fenced in turf area along with parking. Trails could one day be developed around the perimeter for both winter and summer use. Rhonda has expressed interest in the possibility of expanding the park, perhaps the northern or northeastern boundary. I explained to her that future ball fields are tentatively planned to the northeast but expansion to the north may be a possibility. I informed her I would be hesitant to commit to additional property until we get a more definitive site plan for placement of future sports fields, parking, and other needed infrastruc~. Rhonda will be available during the meeting to answer any questions. Attachment . · .!f,d , t.:.._/._. .(;~' :""' ~.'4.! , · . ... ..,..

Please note the ~ctition of the 7' earth berm that was added as a result of our discussions with the residents on Evergreen Subdivision. Through my work with our Public Works Manager and the consulting engineers, this is the design we propose. Earth berms are fairly common landscape practices when attempting to create interesting landscapes, increase aesthetics, or diffuse sound. Additionally, the berm will be seeded and trees planted which will create an enjoyable sitting area for spectator use.

ALASKA To~ From: Date: RE: Kenai Parks & Recreation Commission Robert J. Frates, Parks & Recreation Direetor~ September 28, 2005 Recommended Playground Renovation Schedule City administration is in the Process of dmffing a Capital Improvement Plan list. This plan will be presented at some point for public comment and review later on as the plan is developed. I currently see two potemial Capital Improvement projects needed for the Parks & Recreation Departmem. The fu-st of which is the Kenai Outdoor Sports Complex located at Sect. 36. This project could include seven (7) ball fields to be located in close proximity to the Kenai S~ Park. The estimated cost of this development is 2 million. Secondly, our playground equipmem is aging. Previous playground renovation projects last occurred between the periods of 1989 and 1998. This may not seem so long ago, but with the ever-changing playground industry and standards, it is not too early to be planning ahead. Our goal should be the creation of safe, interesting and unique play environments with each park displaying a slightly different design. I have reviewed the status of our current playgrounds and formulated a recommended renovation schedule. Please review the attached schedule and offer any suggestions at our next regularly scheduled meeting. I estimate the total renovation cost to be $225,000. If you would like to visit any of these locations with me beforehand, I would be happy to do so. Attachement AGENDA KENAI CITY COUNCIL- REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 7, 2005 7:00 P.M.
