Recreation Commission Meeting <br />December 6, 2004 <br /> <br /> <br />the Rec Center to meet that need. Although it's partially answered with the video concept, if <br />parents want to watch their kids during lessons, in nice weather the lessons could be held outside, <br />putting up a set of bleachers to hold 20 people or so. It would be more than enough. The courts <br />could be lighted. The other site would be to use the land around Springvale, to be used for tennis <br />or for baseball or for soccer. This would be between the parking lot and Butternut Ridge Road <br />behind the homes on Butternut. There is a lot of cleared, flat acreage that is unused. <br /> <br />Ms. Jones asked if there was room behind the Rec Center to put the tennis courts. Mr. Miller said <br />the land is deep; it was a nine-hole golf course at one time. Ms. Jones asked why that land <br />couldn't be used. Mr. DiSalvo said that it's not visible enough. The skate park is bad enough as <br />regards supervision; if tennis courts were back there, unsupervised, it might well be a party scene <br />for the kids at night. <br /> <br />New Rec Center <br /> <br />Mr. DiSalvo said that the Rec Center could tear down the old building, build a whole new Rec <br />Center in back and have frontage for parking because of the amount of land. The Commissioner <br />then passed around an aerial view picture of the land among the Members of the Commission. <br />Tallwood is the street where the property ends. (General overlapping conversation among the <br />members on the site shown). Mr. Miller said the area is huge; there is a rough path that goes <br />around it. When you walk it, you can still see the rail tracks for the toboggan run. (More <br />overlapping conversation). <br /> <br />New Leaders for the Recreation Commission <br /> <br />Note to the Commission: in January new leaders for the Parks & Recreation Commission must be <br />considered for 2005. Again, the next meeting of the North Olmsted Parks and Recreation <br />Commission will be January 3, 2005. <br /> <br />MOTION TO ADJOURN <br /> <br />After motion made by Mr. Kelley, duly seconded by Mr. Miller, all were in favor, and the <br />Meeting adjourned at 8:05 p.m. <br /> <br /> Accepted and Approved: <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br />William D.
