Mr. Fattler explained that the:existing pavilion is 12 by 20 feet excluding the restrooms which.are part of the same structure.

Thomas moved to approve the construciion of a new picnic shelter in Barton Bradley Soccer Field with the following recomnendations to City Council: with the construction of this picnic shelter that Council take into consideration the safety issues that ha.ve been brought up in the recent meetings. The Recreation and Service Departments have made a good effort to providing solutions to those problems, mainly crosswalks and wooden barriers, but we believe that the Safety Conunittee of Council and Council as a whole should ta.ke tmder advisement that this area, Barton- Bradley Park, is becoming.more and more dedicated toward recreational use and that the City must provide for the people who use that park, dedicated areas.for parking, crosswalks, permanent signage that w?-ill warn increasing traffic the presence..of children at play, as well as future consideration as to traffic flow and preventing cars being parked on private property. We would also like, in the future, as improvements are being considered for Barton Bradley that the Planning Cotrnnission be advised and permitted to review any plans that would concern parking in particular. We also recommend that the earthen mound should be removed, that gaved or hard surface parking (possibly gravel) should be provided.
