Action Requested
Approve,by motion, an asphalt parking lot,road entrance, and 105' trail entrance at Bailey Point Nature
Preserve.
Background/Discussion
Paving of the current parking lot, current road entrance, and an entrance trail was identified as a priority
at the July 9, 2014, Parks and Recreation Commission work session. The discussion occurred during the
master plan review for Bailey Point.
The Commission recommends paving the parking lot and road entrance into the park for aesthetic and
maintenance reasons. It was also discussed that a trail head entrance be installed to lead people from the
parking lot into the park.
A paved parking lot will decrease overall park maintenance during the winter/early spring months.
During the post-winter season, staff and volunteers spend many hours cleaning up and replacing parking
lot stone that was removed from snow plowing.
Financial Impact
$26,000 project cost paid with proceeds from recent park donations ($15,000) and the remainder from
the Park Improvement Fund.
