Jeff Hepplmr opened the meeting, acting on behalf of Park Board Chairman Dan
Graham, who was unable to attend.
Liz reported on the walk—through of the City parks conducted two weeks ago.
Liz reported that the consultant has prepared a report on the opportunities
and constraints of the three parks.
Bob Muraoe reported on some of the constraints of Fanno Creek Park . He noted
the omilo' the limited access, both visually and physically, and the wildlife
and natural areas are constraints an well as opportunities . Stuart pointed
out that the City Center Plan Task Force envisions a more park—like concept
for property north of the proposed Ash Street extension. He noted that south
of that point is envisioned an being kept in a more wild state, Bob Murane
pointed out the opportunities for focusing at the entrance to the park by
A—Boy. It was noted that land acquisition is needed to create the opportunity
to improve park aooeou from Main. Dan Dolun of A—Boy reported that his dad is
working with an architect to develop a plan for their property. He noted that
they are fairly flexible at this time. They acknowledge that they have a key
position in the park. They want to know what's going on and they want to be a
part of it. They are concerned when statements are made about various uses of
their property unrelated to their commercial intent. He pointed out that
there is an existing sewer line through their property that has restricted
their use of the land.
Cost of maintenance of Fanno Creek Park was raised by Marty Welch of the Park
Board. The consultant noted that the environmental specialist they are using
has recommended the planting of native plants within a 25 foot corridor along
the creek. Thio would eliminate the undesirable plantings and also lessen
maintenance. Peggy suggested moving the John Tigard house and perhaps the
house adjacent to Doug' s Auto Parts to the Fanno Creek at a point of entry to
create a small center as part of the park. Ed reminded the consultant that an
objective of the City Center Plan Task Force is to consider commercial
opportunities adjacent to the creek, taking advantage of the views to the
creek. The study will look at this, as well as the opportunities to work in
the floodplain and flondway^ to build dams, ponds' etc . The assumption that
such water features are desirable and achievable is considered to be
possible. One note--Bob Muraoe has extended an invitation for committee
members to provide further comments. He can be reached at 242-1477.
The City Center Plan Task Force then adjourned at 8:00 p.m. to the Community
Development conference room to continue the meeting.

Minutes of the August 4 meeting were approved with modifications .
Peggy expressed concern that other committees are not aware of the City Center
Plan Task Force direction. The Task Force discussed the perception that the
Park Board may not be in tune with what the City Center Plan Task Force is
planning to achieve. Stuart noted that they may not comprehend the Vision and
may not be willing to incorporate the concept of an amphitheater, into their
plans . They may be focusing only on maintenance concerns . Mike noted that he
believes Dan Graham understands the Task Force concerns .
Richard drew the committee' s attention to the Park Plan objectives for Fanno
Creek . These objectives may be inconsistent with the vision. Richard, Mike
and Pam will compose a subcommittee that will attempt to meet with the Park
Board members to ensure that coordination noouru between the two bodies ,
