Mr. Hundley stated that he looked forward to working with Mayor and Council and he felt his wife and family would enjoy their stay in Louisville very much. COUNCIL ITEMS Councilmembers had a copy of the master plan PRESENTATION - LAKE PARK by Landplan Design Group, cost projections MASTER PLAN of the three phases of construction, and a memorandum from Director of Community Services Hioco. Mr.. Hioco gave a slide presentation of the arE:a and stated after two months of meetings with residents in the area, staff and Council, concerns expressed at the meetings were ad- dressed in this new master plan. His re- quE~st was for Council' s guidance on how to pro- ceE.d with the plan. La}:e Park consists of 5 acres located south of Cottonwood Park. One of the concerns ex- prE~ssed was that the lake portion of the park was too shallow and collected a lot of mud. To address this, the proposal is to widen and deepen the ..one portion of the lake to 7' and stock it with fish for children. A ;second portion would be installed to act as a sediment pond. Around the larger lake cat-tails, natural grasses and a concrete walkway from Via Appia would be constructed. Mr. Hioco depicted where parking would be available but was not added to the master plan. A group of students from the Elementary and Middle Schools requested that an area be preserved for ice skating and this was shown in the~~pre9entation along with slopes for sledding. He also~~specified where the blue grasses would be planted; also stated that it is the City's responsibility to dis- pore of the debris when the ditch is cleaned. Financing Director Hioco then went through the various phases and financing of each phase by priority, It would be a 3 year project beginning in 1985 depending on how much money is collected from service expansion fees during these years. The items eliminated in the project were the boardwalk/dock area resulting in a reduction of $40,000. The total cost of the project would be $375,000, which would include con- su]Ltant fees, rather than $470,000 as stated in the distributed information.
