Mr. 'Wilson reported on the following:
, SITE PLAN FOR THE EDDIE C. MOORE RECREATION COMPLEX - Mr. Wilson
: 'showed and disoussed with members the preliminary site plan for this
': complex. .Considerable discussion ensued. The complex will consist of
,four softball fields, a support building, three soccer fields, and parking
,for approximately 130 autombiles. Mr. Howe mentioned that a dust problem
could ~evelop when grading of the property begins. Mr. Wilson agreed and
said ,that every effort would be made to prevent any dust problems. Mr.
Howe also advised staff to recheck the alignment for the expansion of
McMullen-Booth Road. He felt that the realignment could move the road a~
proximately 30 feet oloser to the West, which would necessitate moving the
facility a corresponding distance. Mr~ Wilson said he would check into
this alignment.
"
COUNTRYSIDE TRACT 20 - Mr. Wilson reviewed with members a
preliminary aite plan for the development of Countryside Tract 20'and
asked the.BoaI~ 'as to their recommendations for the phases of
develop1ll.ent~ 'He stated that the first phase would include a playfield,
(baseball/soccer/football), playground apparatus area, etc. Members felt
,. that a lighted basketball court should also be considered in the first
phase.since .this type facility is so popular with youth. Mr. Howe
:~xpressed concern about young people loitering in the parking lot at night'
after the park is closed. ' Mr. Kader said that the entrance road will be
of benefit in that a gate could be installed to preclude automobiles from
en~ering, the park after closing time. Mrs. Schultz 8upported initial
.develop-ment of outdoor recreation facilities but expressed concern about
costly 'facilities such as a swimming pool or recreation c€nter.

t::':': , shade, which retards the growth of landscaping. Howevers he said that
f.t+.<:). staff would look at the area to see what could be done. Mr. Howe also
