[1. Call to Order]

[00:00:05]

. BORDER TOWN COUNCIL MEETING WORKSHOP TUESDAY, JANUARY 23RD,

[2. Adoption of the Agenda]

[3.a. Chaplin Park Master Plan]

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS STARTED THE STORES INC. SO WHERE WE ARE TODAY I'LL GIVE YOU ALL GIVE YOU ALL AN OVERVIEW OF THE SITE HISTORY AND CONDITIONS SO SINCE IT WAS ACQUIRED BACK IN 1995 WE'LL TALK ABOUT PRELIMINARY THAT WERE PRESENTED IN WORKSHOPS IN FEBRUARY WE RECEIVED FEEDBACK INPUT INFORMED JULY PLANS THAT WERE BROUGHT TO WORKSHOP IN JULY THERE WERE RECEIVED INPUT AND FEEDBACK AND THEN THAT'S ALL THAT.

WHAT HAS DRIVEN THE MASTER PLANS THAT YOU'LL SEE HERE TODAY? WE'LL HAVE SOME ASSESSMENT AND THEN TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS. WE LIKE TO ADVANCE THESE FORWARD SHAWNEE LOCATIONS. I WILL I WILL TAKE THE MANTLE OF MAYOR PREFERENCE I CAN I GO I THINK SINCE THERE'S A LOT ON THIS LIST AS TO THE QUESTIONS AFTER THE PRESENTATION PRESENTATIONS DONE OKAY PROJECT WE BASED ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN WHICH WAS BUILT UPON THE PARKS MASTER PLAN AND OUR PLAN ADOPTION WE BEGAN ASSESSING A LOT OF OUR PARK FACILITIES.

WE'VE ADOPTED FOUR MASTER PLANS FOR PARKS OVER THE PAST LESSON OF THE PAST YEAR AND THESE TWO PARKS ARE WE'RE ALSO RECOMMENDED FOR MASTER PLAN REVISION INVESTMENT AND SO WE STARTED THAT SEPTEMBER OF 21 WHERE WE REALLY STARTED DIVING INTO THE PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF THE OF THE PROPERTIES DEVELOPING SUPPLEMENTARY AND THEN AND THEN BRINGING FORWARD THE INITIAL PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR TOWN COUNCIL REVIEW AND THAT WAS IN FEBRUARY WE HAD A A WITH TOWN COUNCIL FEBRUARY AGAIN I WALKED KIND OF THROUGH THIS THERE WAS IMPORTANT FEEDBACK FROM COUNCIL AND THE COMMUNITY. WE CHECKED IN WITH THE PARKS AND REC COMMISSION AS WELL TO GET THEIR FEEDBACK AND BROUGHT BACK EXCUSE ME REVISED MASTER PLAN CONCEPTUAL PLAN AND JUNE WENT THROUGH THAT SAME EXERCISE FOR IMPACT INPUT AND FEEDBACK WENT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND AND PARKS AND REC AND ISLAND REC AND GOT SOME MORE INPUT AND WE ARE HERE JANUARY 2024 TO WHAT WE THINK IS AN CULMINATION OF ALL THE FEEDBACK RECEIVED SO FAR SO HERE'S AN AERIAL OF THE PROPERTY BACK IN 1968 YOU CAN SEE IT WAS RELATIVELY BARREN, NOT A LOT OF VEGETATION ON THE SITE AND SO A LOT OF THE VEGETATION THAT WE SEE THERE TODAY HAS BEEN IN THE LAST 50 OR 60 YEARS. IN 1994 RIGHT BEFORE ACQUISITION SOME OF THE VEGETATION HAD GROWN UP HERE THE TOWN ACQUIRED THIS PROPERTY IN 95 AND WITH THE NOTION FOR A LOCATION FOR A PARK TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY, A PRELIMINARY STARTED SHORTLY AFTER THE ACQUISITION. HERE'S A TIMELINE FOR HOW THE COMMUNITY PARK DEVELOPED AND IT ACQUIRED IN 95 PARK PLANNING STARTED THAT SAME YEAR WORKING WITH PARKS AND RECREATION TO FURTHER PART OF THE PLAN AND THEN DESIGNING CONSTRUCTION IN 1999. SO YOU CAN SEE THE PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION ABOUT A FOUR YEAR

[00:05:01]

YOU CAN SEE THE CONDITION OF THE OF THE TURF AND THE LAYOUT OF THE PARK.

WE ARE SHOWING THIS SLIDE BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT NOTE THAT WHEN WE HAD HURRICANE MATTHEW AND SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DEBRIS REMOVAL WAS REQUIRED WE HAVE TWO DEBRIS MANAGEMENT SITES ONE IS UP AT HUNTINGDON AND THE OTHER IS AT CHAPEL HILL AND SO THIS FACILITY WAS A SECONDARY DEBRIS MANAGEMENT SITE WHICH WHICH WAS ACCOMPLISHED AT THE AND THE SORT OF THE OPEN MULTI USE FIELD SECTIONS OF THE PARK. SO IN OUR DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN THIS IS STILL IDENTIFIED AS A DEBRIS MANAGEMENT SITE AT THE SAME AS HONEYMOON.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE AS POINTED OUT THEN YOU CAN SEE PRESENT DAY HASN'T CHANGED MUCH SINCE 2001 SINCE IT WAS SINCE IT WAS BUILT YOU CAN SEE THE CONDITION OF THE TURF AND FIELDS IS SLIGHTLY IMPROVED BUT I THINK IT'S TIME TO REALLY MAKE A COMMITMENT TO THE QUALITY OF PLAY OUT THERE TO GET THE PROGRAMING NOT TO OVER PROGRAM BUT THE PROGRAM WITH INTENT OR FOR SOCCER AND SOME OF THE OTHER USES THAT HAVE COME THROUGH THE THE INPUT SO WILL INCLUDE TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL DOG PARK AND A FEW OTHERS AND WE'LL GET TO THAT IN A MINUTE. SO EXISTING ARE YOU'VE SEEN THIS AT LEAST TWICE PROBABLY OFTEN THAN NOT BUT YOU CAN SEE THE PROGRAMING OF THE PARK ITSELF AND I WON'T SPEND A TON OF TIME ON THIS BUT YOU CAN SEE ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN THE CAST PARKING LOT THERE'S USUALLY A COUPLE OF CARS PARKED THERE LAST WINTER 4TH OF JULY OR SUPER BUSY WEEKEND WITH SOCCER AND BEACH BEACHGOERS. YOU CAN SEE THE DOG PARK IS OVER KIND OF IN THE NORTHWEST CENTER EXISTING KIND OF FACILITIES WITH A RESTROOM THERE IS A CONCESSION RESTROOM FACILITY RELATIVE WAS CENTRAL TO THE PARK BASKETBALL SO THE ADDITIONAL RESTROOMS AND FREE MULTI-USE FIELDS AS THEY EXIST TODAY THERE IS THE BEACH ACCESS AT THE END OF PARKS BEACH ROAD AND THE PARKING FOR THOSE SERVICE BOTH THE PARK AND BEACHGOERS THE PRELIMINARY PLAN AND THAT BROUGHT FORWARD IN FEBRUARY HAD SOME CONCEPTS INCLUDED AND THERE WAS A REQUEST BASED ON THE THE PARKS MASTER PLAN OUR PLAN AND INPUT FROM OUR PROGRAMMERS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF MULTI-USE SOCCER FIELDS.

IT WAS REALLY COMMITMENT TO SOCCER WHICH IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY ACTIVITIES THAT OCCUR ON THE AND SO THIS JUST INCLUDED FIVE MULTI-USE SOCCER FIELDS.

IT INCLUDED A TOWN OPERATIONS BUILDING WE HAVE SURE BEACH SERVICES OR I'M SORRY OUR BEACH PATROL OPERATES RIGHT NOW OUT OF ISLANDERS PARK AND MAKING A COMMITMENT TO THAT PROGRAM AND AND THIS IS A LOGICAL PLACE WHICH ALLOWS ACCESS TO BOTH SIDES OF THE VALLEY BUT HAVING A FACILITY THERE BASKETBALL COURTS AS WERE PREVIOUSLY WAS PREVIOUSLY IN THE PROGRAM BUT COVERING THEM TO INCREASE PLAYABILITY AGAIN MAINTAINING THE DOG PARK IN A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT LOCATION DESTINATION PLAYGROUND MAINTAINING THE BEACH ACCESS PROVIDING ADEQUATE RESTROOMS AND COMFORT STATIONS AND AND ON THIS PENINSULA ARE REALLY JUST PROVIDING TRAIL ACCESS THAT EXIST THAT ARE CURRENTLY MAINTAINING THAT TRAIL NATURAL ACCESS ACCESS TO THE WATER. THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT PADDLE KIND OF A NEW RACKET SPORT I HADN'T REALLY HEARD OF IT AND SO WE STARTED WORKING THROUGH THIS BUT WAS ABLE TO WATCH IT ON ESPN 99 SOME TOURNAMENTS AND IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY INTERESTING SPORT I LOVE TO TRY TO PLAY WITHOUT YOU KNOW, BLOWN OUT OF NEED IN THE FUTURE BUT SO IT WAS A CONCEPT WAS THAT WAS INCLUDED FOR CONSIDERATION AND HERE THERE WAS ALSO 24 PICKLEBALL COURTS

[00:10:02]

ANOTHER ONE WAS TO ANCHOR THE CORNER OF CAST NET DRIVE AND SINGULAR BEACH WHERE THE BEACH OPERATIONS FACILITY RELOCATE THE BASKETBALL COURT TO THE CORE OF THE PARK AND SO THE BASKETBALL WAS A LITTLE BIT OFF ISLAND OFF ON A TANGENT SO RELOCATED ON THE CORE OF THE PARK AND THEN PROVIDE SAFE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AND CROSSINGS FROM ACROSS PLAY ON THE PARKWAY . SO THAT WAS INPUT AND FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED IN THAT WAS USED TO INFORM UPGRADES TO THE PLAN AND AND JUMPING FORWARD FROM FEBRUARY THE INPUT AND FEEDBACK INTO THE MIX RESULTED AND THE PLAN THAT WE PRESENTED TO THE TOWN COUNCIL THE WORKSHOP IN JUNE AND MAINTAIN FIVE MULTI-USE SOCCER FIELDS AND MAINTAIN THE TOWN FACILITY FOR OPERATIONS I BELIEVE THAT MR. STAMPER THE MAINTAIN THE FACILITY THE OPERATIONS BUILDING FOR FOR BEACH PATROL AND INCLUDED THE BASKETBALL COURTS IS COVERED IN ALL THE OTHER ELEMENTS DOG PARK DESTINATION PLAYGROUND BEACH ACCESS RESTROOMS, THE NATURAL TRAIL ACCESS TO THE WATER AND AND ALL RIGHT I WAS BACK IN FEBRUARY AGAIN I'M SURE ALL ACCESS TO THE WATER IT DID MAINTAIN TENNIS COURTS SIX TENNIS COURTS DIDN'T EXIST THERE BASED ON THE FEEDBACK THAT WE THAT WE RECEIVED IT DID INCLUDE SOME ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS ON THE PLAN TO MAKE SURE WE WERE IDENTIFIED BY INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS FOR SAFE CROSSINGS FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF WHERE THE WHERE THE MULTI-USE FACILITY AND THEN THERE WERE MULTIPLE ALTERNATIVES DISCUSSED FOR PICKLEBALL AND POOL WE'RE NOT GOING TO SHOW ALL OF THEM TODAY BUT WE HAD IN THE SECTION A POOL FACILITY WE SHOWED A PICKLEBALL WITH 24 COURTS AND ASKED FOR FEEDBACK AND OF COURSE THROUGH THE FEEDBACK HERE AND A MINUTE BUT WE DID ASSESS AND PROVIDE THOSE ALTERNATIVES FOR DISCUSSION SO BASED ON THE POOL THAT PLAN WE BROUGHT IN JUNE THIS WAS THE THE FEEDBACK THAT WAS RECEIVED SO PROVIDE SIX PICKLEBALL COURTS SO RATHER THAN THE 24 THAT WERE SHOWN AND A COUPLE OF OPTIONS PROVIDE SINGLE SIX PICKLEBALL COURTS THAT A COMMUNITY POOL FACILITY IT RIGHT FOR THIS FACILITY AT THIS TIME BUT WE WOULD GET ANOTHER REQUEST ASK APPLICANTS THAT ARE ALL ALTERNATIVE SITES INCLUDING THIS ONE WHICH COULD BE A POTENTIAL IN THE FUTURE PROVIDE A WIDER BUFFER ALONG SINGLETON BEACH ROAD SO THOSE TOWN OPERATIONS BUILDING WAS WAS CLOSER TO ABLE TO BE TRIALED AND SO IT INFORMED A SHIFT OF THAT BUILDING ENABLED VIEWS FROM WILLIAM HILL PARKWAY INTO THE PARK RIGHT THESE WINDOWS AND THAT THE EXPERIENCE AS YOU'RE MOVING PAST FURTHER AND I MIGHT ADD OUR INTO THE PARK AND BACK INTO PARK AND BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY PROVIDE A SIDEWALK ON THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE OF BURKS BEACH ROAD PROVIDE A DIFFERENT TREATMENT AND IT WAS IDENTIFIED TABBY CROSSWALKS THAT CONNECTED FROM

[00:15:02]

SO THERE WAS INPUT FEEDBACK TO CONNECT THAT TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE ACCESS TO AND THROUGH THE PARK BACK TO PARKING LOCATED A LARGE ETC. TO THE MULTI-USE FIELDS YOU KNOW THIS IS IMPORTANT I'VE HAD TWO BOYS PLAY TRAVEL THEY PLAYED SOCCER SINCE THEY CAN KICK A BALL BUT AS WE TRAVEL AND AND VISIT A LOT OF THESE FACILITIES HAVING A FACILITY A COVERED PAVILION IS VERY IMPORTANT. ONE FOR SHADE, ONE FOR ACTIVITIES A LOT OF TIMES AND YOU MIGHT PLAY MULTIPLE GAMES AND AND THE WORST THING TO DO AND IN THE SUMMERTIME FOR SURE IS TO PLAY A GAME AND JUST BE GASSED THERE WHEN IT'S 100 DEGREES AND SO AWARD CEREMONIES ARE TYPICALLY HELD THERE PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROGRAM THAT SPACE AND PROVIDE RELIEF TO PLAYERS AND PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS IN THAT FACILITY SO THAT WAS AN INPUT THAT WAS RECEIVED THEN REVIEW AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A DROP OFF THAT WAS REALLY IN THIS AREA AS YOU DOWN BURGES BEACH ROAD RATHER THAN GO ALL THE WAY DOWN WHERE IT'S A LITTLE TIGHT AND CUMBERSOME TO PROVIDE THAT OFF AND AND TURN AROUND WAS TO LOOK AND SEE THERE'S A MORE APPROPRIATE DROP OFF THAT STRETCH.

I'M I DON'T SO ALL OF THAT EXCUSE ME ALL OF THAT INPUT RECEIVED REALLY FOR MORE THAN MORE THAN A YEAR BUT REALLY THROUGH THOSE TWO MAIN WORKSHOPS OUT IN THE PUBLIC TALKING TO OUR PARTNER AND COMMUNITY HAVE ALLOWED US TO THE DRAFT MASTER PLAN THAT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY I'M GOING TO RUN THROUGH THE PROGRAM AND THEN WE CAN TAKE SOME QUESTIONS BEFORE WE GO TO THE NEXT STEPS TO THE PROGRAM HERE AGAIN ON THIS MASTER PLAN IS AGAIN A COMMITMENT TO SOCCER. WE'RE CALLING A MULTI-USE SOCCER FIELDS.

BUT REALLY THE COMMITMENT HERE IS TO SOCCER HIGH QUALITY. I'VE SEEN SOME REALLY GOOD NATURAL TURF FIELDS TAKING PICTURES I LAID IN IT. I, I WOULD LOVE IT IF IF KIDS LEARNED TO PLAY ON THIS TYPE OF QUALITY WOULD BUILD INCLUDES A DOG PARK THAT'S A LITTLE OVER AN ACRE ACRE REPORTED DOG PARK PROVIDES STILL PROVIDES THE BEACH ACCESS IN THE PARK THERE'S A LOT OF PROGRAMING AND IT'S A BIG PARK THERE ARE FIVE COMFORT STATIONS OR RESTROOMS SCATTERED STRATEGICALLY THROUGHOUT THE PARK FOR THAT PROGRAMING AND JUST MAINTAINING THE NATURAL TRAIL THAT EXISTS ON THIS LITTLE PENINSULA, YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL ITERATIONS OF THINGS TO DO THERE AND I THINK THE CONSENSUS IS LET'S LEAVE THAT ALONE AND IT NATURAL BUT HISTORICALLY THEIR HOUSE THERE HAVE BEEN FOOTPATHS AND OTHER TRAILS TO PROVIDE ACCESS AND SO WE'RE MAINTAINING RESPECTING THAT THERE SO ISLAND HERITAGE GATEWAY AND ON THE TENNIS COURT TENNIS COURTS THE SAME SIX TENNIS COURTS I WOULD I EXPECT THAT IF WE'RE UPGRADING THIS AND WE MAKE SURE THAT THE TENNIS COURTS ARE HIGH QUALITY WHEN WE WERE TO REOPEN THIS PARK SO PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS AT WILLIAM HILL PARKWAY AND SO WE MAINTAIN THOSE CONNECTIONS AND YOU APPLY SAFE CROSSINGS OF SURE THAT THEY'LL BE OUR CONTINENTAL STRIPED CROSSWALKS AND APPROPRIATE TOWN FACILITIES SO AGAIN MAINTAINING THE OPERATIONS BUILDING OVER HERE FOR BEACH PATROL YOU CAN SEE BEEN SHIFTED OFF OF OF SINGLETON BEACH ROAD MORE PROVIDES ABOUT ANOTHER 30 OR 40 FEET OF OFFER OVER WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY ASKED ABOUT FOR THE RECOMMENDATION WAS TO LOCATE IT I'M SORRY IN THE CORE I THINK THE BASKETBALL LOCATION BASED ON THE CONSUMPTION OF THE BASKETBALL WE CAN WE CAN STILL

[00:20:07]

I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE PLAYING PICKLEBALL AND I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT REDUCING THE NUMBER OF PICKLEBALL COURTS 24 624 MAKES SENSE TO ME STILL MAKES SENSE TO ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IN REDESIGN PUSHED THOSE COURTS DOWN TWO OR THOSE WRONG FOLLOWING UP ON I AM QUESTIONING QUESTIONING PATIENCE AND AND THE CONCEPT OF 24 PICKLEBALL COURTS AT ONE POINT ALSO HAD A QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER TO PUT A POOL IN THIS AREA OR I I KNOW YOU PUT 18 PICKLEBALL COURTS IN A LOCATION ABOUT TO TAKE OFF NEXT COUPLE OF QUESTIONS PICKLEBALL THEY HAVE FEATURES PLAYABLE TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL THEY HAVE PICTURES OF EXCEEDING I CAN ANSWER EACH ONE OF THE POINTS THAT WOULD ALLOW BECAUSE I THINK IF I GO BACK TO THE PERSON MR. STAMPER OUR COMMENT SO WHEN WE PRESENTED THE OPTIONS IN JUNE FOR BOTH THE POOL AND THE PICKLEBALL, I WOULD SAY SOME PEOPLE SUPPORTED THE POOL AND DIDN'T SO PEOPLE SUPPORTED 24 PICKLEBALL PICKLEBALL COURTS, SOME DIDN'T. SO WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD A MASTER PLAN WHERE THERE WAS A SENSE OF AGREEMENT ON THESE ELEMENTS AND THE COUNCIL HAS IS IN AGREEMENT ON SOMETHING THAT'S NOT SHOWN HERE I CAN PROVIDE DIRECTION TODAY THAT WILL BE AS FAR AS THE PROPER QUESTION ABOUT BLEACHERS I DON'T THINK THE SIX PICKLEBALL

[00:25:07]

THERE WAS A CONSENSUS FROM COUNCIL AND TO ADD EITHER OF THEM WHAT WE'VE FROM A POOL STANDPOINT IS THAT WE'LL ASSESS ALL ALTERNATIVE SITES OR POTENTIAL POOL LOCATION.

HIGH SCHOOL IS ALSO GOING THROUGH SOME RENOVATIONS AND MAYBE APPROPRIATE HAVE SOME DISCUSSION WITH MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND I'LL TRY TO SEE IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY IN AND AROUND FACILITY TO ADD TO OUR POOL SO READY TO DO THAT IT'S NOT PRECLUDING A POOL FROM OCCURRING AT THE SITE BUT BASED ON THE INPUT DIRECTION FROM FROM IT WAS WE'RE NOT READY TO ADD IT INTO THE PROGRAM AT THIS TIME SO WE REALLY ARE NOT RECOMMENDING INCLUDING IT TOWN COUNCIL PROVIDE SOME DIFFERENT DIRECTION HERE ARE COMMENTS THAT SHOW IN ONE NUANCE TO THAT THAT CAST THAT SITE IS THE PARKING THAT COMES ALONG WITH EITHER PICKLEBALL OR POOL BE THAT'S THE THAT'S THE REAL STRESS POINT AS LOOK AT THAT IT'S A NICE GREEN SITE OPEN FOR DEVELOPMENT BUT WE HAVE RECONFIGURE THAT PARKING AND TRY TO GET MORE IN THERE OR CAUSE FOR LONGER WALKS TO THE MAIN BODY OF THE PARKING WHICH IS A WHICH IS A FAIR FOR EITHER PICKLEBALL PLAYERS OR OR POOL GOERS I COULD I'LL JUMP IN LAST TIME WE'RE HERE I WENT OVER A BUNCH OF NOTES THAT WE HAD WE WERE TRYING TO PUT RIGHT IF YOU GO BACK A FEW SLIDES NOT NOT TO MAKE YOU DO THAT SHAWN WE WERE TRYING TO PUT PROBABLY #20 IN A #15 BAG WHEN WE SHOWED 24 PICKLEBALL POTENTIALLY A POOL KEEP THE TENNIS DEFINITELY IMPROVED SOCCER MULTI-USE SPACE ADD PARKING KEY DOG PARK STILL ALLOWS SOME SORT OF NATURE TRAILS ARE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL

[00:30:08]

A LOT OF FOLKS THAT ARE HERE ENJOYING OUR ISLAND ESPECIALLY IN SOME SHORT TERM RENTALS THAT AREN'T ON THE BEACH OR BEHIND A GATE OF A PLANNED UNIT PLANNED COMMUNITY.

THIS IS THEIR BEACH NO MATTER WHAT WE TRY TO SAY EVEN IF WE TRY TO MOVE THE GOOGLE PIN TO ALLEGHENY THIS THIS BECOMES THE BEACH AND WE'VE SURVEYED SOME FOLKS DURING THE SUMMER TO SEE WHERE THEY'RE COMING AND A LOT OF FOLKS IT'S A GROUP OF THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE OR SIX COMING FROM A SHORT TERM RENTAL AND I SAY THAT THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE TRY TO CALIBRATE HERE.

WE ARE IN THE NEXT JACK THERE'S 16 PICKLEBALL COURTS 12 OH WELL AND WE COULD PROBABLY FIT SOME MORE IN COULD WE FIT MORE THAN SIX HERE. YES JUST TRYING TO FIT THAT 24 COURT THAT STADIUM ESPN ZONE STADIUM COURT HAS BEEN AND WHAT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND CHAPLAIN AND MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AT CROSSINGS WITHOUT SOMETHING UP THAT WE ALREADY NEED I THINK I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I ADD THAT INGREDIENT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'VE REALLY GRAPPLED WITH OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS INTERNALLY WITH OUR TEAM AND OUR AND OUR DESIGN EXPERT BUT ALSO LAST TIME AND THE TIME BEFORE THAT WE WERE ALL HERE WITH YOU. WE KEEP WE HEAR IS IMPORTANT AND WE HEAR SOCCER IS IMPORTANT AND IT'S A THAT I THINK WE SHOULD REALLY SCRUB TODAY. THANK YOU MAYOR AND THANK YOU MARK AND FOR YOUR COMMENTS. THEY CERTAINLY ARE RELEVANT TO THE REASON THINGS HAVE LAID OUT THE WAY THEY SEEM TO BE COMING TOGETHER AT THE CHAMPLIN PARK SITE ON POINT THAT WE STARTED OFF WITH IS OUR DISASTER PLAN WHERE WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS A SITE THAT WE USE AND SO THE FIELDS HAVE TO BE LEFT OPEN AND I THINK POINT THAT YOU JUST MADE, MARK, IS THAT THIS IS A LIMITED AND IN PREVIOUS ITERATIONS THERE WERE WAY TOO MANY THINGS TRYING TO BE CRAMMED INTO THIS THIS SMALL SITE CERTAINLY IT COULD BE FIT LIKE A PUZZLE IF YOU WANTED TO AND THEN YOU WOULD LOSE THE CHARACTER OF WHAT ISLAND HILTON HEAD ISLAND IS ALL ABOUT WE'RE NOT ABOUT SHOVING AS MUCH AS YOU CAN INTO PIECE OF LAND AVAILABLE I THIS DOES DOES JUSTICE KEEPING THE INTEGRITY ONE PART THAT I WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS ON THAT CONCERNS ME IS OPENING THOSE WINDOWS UP AND INTO THE AND THE REASON IT CONCERNS ME IS BECAUSE WE'VE NOT YET ADDRESSED THE ISSUES WITH WILLIAM HILTON PARKWAY AND TRAFFIC IS TOO INTENSE THE SPEEDS ARE TOO HIGH AND THIS IS THE ONLY OF 278 THAT DOES NOT HAVE A PLANTED MEDIAN.

AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK ACROSS THAT HIGHWAY YOU SEE NOTHING BUT MACADAM WHICH JUST MAKES ALL THE TRAFFIC SEEM THAT MUCH MORE AND THAT MUCH MORE URBANIZED.

AND SO OUR BEST IDEAS IF NOT MORE THAT ADDRESS THAT SITUATION.

THERE'S NO REASON THAT FROM THE FALLING FIELD AREA THROUGH THE SHELTER CODE AREA IT'S BARREN.

SO PRIOR TO TAKING AWAY THE ONLY VEGETATION THAT KEEPS THIS PARK LIKE IT'S TAKEN AWAY, PLEASE RESPECT THAT AND THAT AGITATED AS IS WHEN SOLVE THAT PROBLEM YOU WANT TO COME BACK AND CREATE SOME WINDOWS I'M GOING TO BE FAR MORE AGREEABLE OR AS LONG AS WILLIAM PARKWAY HILTON PARKWAY REMAINS AS IT IS I'M NOT GOING TO BE IN A POSITION TO SUPPORT THAT.

SO THAT'S ONE POINT AND I REALIZE THERE HAVE BEEN DIRT THAT SOME HAVE USED UNOFFICIALLY AROUND THAT BOTTOM LITTLE PENINSULA AREA BUT IT'S ANOTHER POINT AGAIN THAT I'VE

[00:35:12]

THERE'S ALL SORTS OF WILDLIFE AND THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO NECESSITY TO CREATE INTENTIONAL PATHWAY AROUND THAT PENINSULA. LEAVE IT LET IT BE ONE OF THE NATURAL ZONES LEFT ON THE ISLAND. I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THE TURN AROUND IS MOVED FURTHER UP . HOWEVER, IF A STUDY WERE DONE YOU WOULD FIND THAT LITERALLY ON ANY GIVEN DAY MUCH LESS A GIVEN DAY IN THE HEIGHT OF THE SEASON.

BURKE'S BEACH ROAD HAS LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF CARS THAT GO UP AND DOWN IT ABOUT JUST GOING TO THE BEACH THOSE GOING TO THE PARK, THOSE GOING TO PLAY TENNIS AND ALL OF THE REST THOSE COMING OUT OF SEASIDE AND SURF WATCH AND BRADLEY CIRCLE WHO YOU CROSS BURKE'S BEACH AND CAST NET THAT STRIP DOWN THROUGH THE PARK TO GET TO A SINGLE TENT AND OUT TO 278 THE INTENSITY OF THE SHORT TERM RENTAL MARKET IN THAT AREA SO I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC FLOW WITH HAVING DROP OFF THERE. I'M NOT SAYING I'M OPPOSED TO I JUST WANT TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW THAT GETS MANAGED IN THAT AREA.

THE DOG PARK I'M HAPPY TO SEE IT'S RETAINED THE BASKETBALL COURT.

THE CONNECTION OF THE CONNECTION TO THE PARK IS FAR BETTER THAN IT EVER HAS AND I'M VERY HAPPY FOR MY RESIDENTS REWARD FOR THAT THOSE COMMUNITIES, THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS BOTH ON THE BURKE SPEECH SIDE AND THE SINGLETON SIDE AND FURTHER DOWN TOWARDS THE OCEAN ARE BEING THOUGHT OF AND CONSIDERED RESPECTED BECAUSE THOSE ARE NEIGHBORHOODS . SO FOR NOW THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO MENTION OTHER THAN THIS THOSE CROSSOVERS THE SIDE ON BURKE'S BEACH I LIVE IN THAT ONE THAT HAPPENS AT THAT HAS THAT KIND OF CORNER WITH ALL OF THE TRAFFIC THAT I WAS JUST REFERRING TO YOU'RE JUST CREATING ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE AND SO I DON'T REALLY I DON'T REALLY SEE THE POINT OF IT.

SO SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND CREATE A SAFETY CONCERN. THANK YOU.

OTHER COMMENTS OR NOT TOOK THEM ALL ON A MINUTE BUT BEFORE I FORGET I'M GOING TO ASK ABOUT TWO OTHER THINGS. FIRST OF ALL, A FRIEND FRANK BABEL POINTED OUT TO ME THAT THERE'S NOT ANY PROVISION BIKE PARKING FOR BIKE RACKS AND SO I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE INCLUDE THAT IN THIS PLAN. AND THEN SECONDLY, I REMAIN CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONNECTING PARKING AND I KNOW THE FIRE CHIEF IS BEHIND ME. HOPEFULLY HE WON'T THAT WILL NOT LEAVE ME WHEN I ABOUT THIS BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH THERE WHERE YOU HAVE THOSE STRAIGHT AWAY. I LIKE TO CONNECT TO PARKING FOR OTHER REASONS BUT I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECOMING A THRUWAY WHERE YOU'VE ADDED CONNECTED PARKING UP CLOSER TO BROOKS BEACH JURISDICTION SO. NOW THAT I'VE TALKED ABOUT THOSE POINTS, LET ME TALK ABOUT PICKLEBALL FIRST OF ALL, I'VE ALWAYS MAINTAINED THAT WE NEED PICKLEBALL AND I'M FIRMLY COMMITTED TO THAT. I DON'T THINK THIS PLAN PLUS THE OTHER PLAN ABOUT ENOUGH PICKLEBALL COURTS YET EXTRAORDINARILY DISMAYED THAT WE NOW HAVE REDUCED FROM 24 LAW COURTS TO SIX ONE COURTS CHAPLAIN.

AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT SOME OF THESE PARK PROPOSALS, I THOUGHT HOW CAN I DECIDE THIS LISTENING TO INPUT I'M LOOKING AT PLANS.

I'M LISTENING TO STAFF PRESENTATIONS AND I THOUGHT KNOW WHAT I'M PROBABLY GONNA

[00:40:03]

YES, THE BALL CLUB FOLKS WERE THERE. I HEARD A LOT OF TIMES BEFORE I SERVED ON TOWN COUNCIL AND WE WERE SNORING DURING OUR PLAN AND THE PARKS AND REC MASTER PLAN WHEN WE WHEN WE NO LONGER PROVIDE PICKLEBALL COURTS THAT WERE ASKED FOR AND SET FORTH IN THIS PLAN AND REDUCED THEM TO SIX A CHAPLAIN TO ME I'M SORRY TO SAY IT THAT WAY BUT IT'S AN INSULT I UNDERSTAND PARKING NUMBERS YOU KNOW BUT WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DO THIS BETTER. THE 12 PROPOSED CROSSINGS THAT'S CREATIVE.

I KNOW WE'RE NOT ABOUT THAT NOW BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHERE TO PUT SUPER BOWL HAVE TO TALK ABOUT BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER AS A CREATIVE IDEA AND SOME HAVE SAID TO ME THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S FOLKS LIKE TO PLAY IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS BECAUSE OF THEIR LEVEL OF EXPERTIZE IN FOOTBALL. I CAN UNDERSTAND BEING EMBARRASSED OF A TENNIS COURT WITH HAVING SO MUCH BETTER THAN ME PLAYING NEXT TO ME SO I UNDERSTAND PERHAPS SPLITTING THEM UP BUT I'M EXTRAORDINARILY CONCERNED. I THINK YOU CAN HEAR AND WHAT I'M SAYING WITH REDUCING FROM OUR PLAN THE PARKS REC MASTER PLAN FOR 24 TO 6 CHAMPLIN PARK I HAD SEEN THE PHOTOS OF THE REFURBISHED COURTS PICKLEBALL COURTS AT ADRIANNA LANE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE POPPING LAST NIGHT I STOPPED BY THERE ON PURPOSE AND I CAN'T GO TOMORROW WITHOUT DOING THAT. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF FOLKS THERE WHO HAD LED PICKLEBALL CLINICS ALL DAY LONG. IT WAS DUSK. IT WAS ABOUT 530 AND THERE WERE STILL PEOPLE LEAVING FROM PLAYING PICKLEBALL THAT DAY. I'VE FORGOTTEN HOW MANY THEY SAID I THINK THEY SAID 96 FOLKS WENT TO CLINICS THAT DAY SO IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S A DEMAND END TO ALL COURTS AND THEN GO TO ISLAND REC BLESS YOU ALL WHO PLAY THERE FOR SO MANY YEARS I CAN DO WITH THE FACILITY THERE THANK YOU FOR STAYING WITH THE SPORT IT'S NOW OUR JOB TO DELIVER I HOPE AND I THANK MR. STANFORD MR. ORFORD POINTING OUT THAT WE HAVE A DIRE NEED FOR IT LIVING UP TO OUR PLEDGE TO THIS COMMUNITY I BELIEVE, I KNOW I MADE IT TO FIND A PICKLEBALL COURTS FOR OUR RESIDENTS I'M NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS PLAN OTHER COMMENTS LET'S NOT DO THAT TODAY JUST FOR THE A LOT OF THE PLANNING HERE SEEMS TO BE IMPACTED BY NEED FOR PARKING FOLLOWING UP A LITTLE BIT ON OUR MINDS AND ANTICIPATING A FURTHER AUDIENCE COMMENT IF HAVE MORE BIKE PARKING NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILE PARKING I WOULD AT LEAST LIKE THAT TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE THERE'S REALLY NO TO BYPASS HERE AT ALL AND I'M HAPPY TO JUMP IN CERTAINLY A WE CAN ALLOW AN OFFSET OF REQUIRED VEHICULAR PARKING I HAVE MY ACCOMMODATING EYE PARKING AT THIS FACILITY. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE BASELINE FOR STARTING THE CONVERSATION OR THE MASTER PLAN WAS THE PARKS AND REC MASTER PLAN OUR PLAN AND THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT FORWARD IN FEBRUARY INITIALLY AND WE RECEIVED I

[00:45:07]

I DO KNOW THAT WE CAN POINTS ARE ALL WELL TAKEN BICYCLE PARKING WHICH HAD 400 SCALE WOULD NOT BE REFLECTED BUT CERTAINLY WE WOULD ACCOMMODATE BICYCLE PARKING AND DOES THAT HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OUR PARKING NEEDS? YEAH I PRAY TO GOD MOST A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO RIDE THEIR BIKES HERE AS OPPOSED TO DRIVE THEIR AUTOMOBILES.

HOWEVER, WE STILL NEED TO RESERVE SPACE WHETHER WE PAVE IT OR NOT FOR AUTOMOBILES IN CASE WE DO HAVE THAT AND A LOT OF AUTO TRAFFIC WHO HOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BEHAVE FIVE OR TEN YEARS DOWN THE ROAD THIS IS A FUTURE PLAN NOT A TWO DAY PLAN. RIGHT.

SO POINT WELL TAKEN. WE'VE GOT TO BOTH OF THOSE MODES OF TRANSPORTATION IF 24 PICKLEBALL COURTS ARE THE DEMANDS OF THE COMMUNITY POINT WELL TAKEN MADAM WE CAN FIND A HOME FOR 24 PICKLEBALL COURTS HERE PARKING IS GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE BUT WE WILL PUT A MAN THE MOON. WE CAN FIND A PLACE FOR 24 PICKLEBALL COURTS I THINK AND IN ACCOMMODATE THE PARKING FOR IT IT'S BEEN THIS THIS SLIDING SCALE NO PICKLEBALL A FEW PICKLEBALL LOT OF PEOPLE WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THAT WE JUST NEED A CLEAR DIRECTIVE FROM THIS ROOM AND I LIKE TO REMIND COUNCIL THAT WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS AND LOOKING AT ALL THESE DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND THIS IS ONE THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED IS WAS THE CENSUS OF WHAT WAS THE BEST THING TO HAVE HAPPEN OBVIOUSLY NOW WE'VE GOT A GOOD NUMBER THAT DON'T FEEL THAT AND I WISH I WOULD HAVE COME FORWARD A LITTLE BIT SOONER THAN RIGHT NOW BECAUSE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. I WILL JUST PUT THAT ON THE TABLE IN AND FOR THE COMMUNITY AS WE'VE BEEN LOOKING TO FIND LOCATIONS TO PUT THE CALL AND GET THE MOST POSSIBLE WITH A MINIMUM OF 24. THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN AT AS WELL AND I CAN LAWYER OR I DON'T WANT TO SO IN TERMS OF RESPECTING THE FACT THAT PEOPLE DO BICYCLE PLACES AND THAT PICKLEBALL IS IMPORTANT I IN STRIVING TO FIND MORE PLACES A GOOD BALL AS WELL AND HAVING HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PICKLEBALL COMMUNITY THEY'RE HAPPY THAT WE ARE DEVELOPING PICKLEBALL THIS IN MY VERY HUMBLE OPINION FOR A MULTITUDE OF REASONS IS NOT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE FOR 24 PICKLEBALL COURTS YOU ARE TWO RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES OR ONE YOU HAVE A NEED FOR SPACE. IF THERE WERE A DISASTER LIKE WAS IN MATTHEW FOR ANOTHER THOSE PARKING SPOTS BICYCLES ARE CERTAINLY ENCOURAGED ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF YOU'RE A SOCCER PARENT YOU'RE NOT DRIVE OR RIDE YOUR BIKE TO A SOCCER WITH YOUR COOLER SOMEHOW TAGGED ALONG BEHIND YOU. YOU TYPICALLY HAVE QUITE A FEW OTHER ITEMS LIKE CHAIRS AND TENTS AND OTHER CHILDREN WITH YOU.

SO THE PARKING IS IMPORTANT TO THOSE PARENTS WHO UTILIZE THESE FIELDS FOR WHETHER THEY'RE SOCCER, FOOTBALL OR LACROSSE OR WHAT EVER SPORT THEY MAY BE PLAYING.

[00:50:04]

IT DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH THE OTHER AMENITIES THAT KEEP THIS AND HILTON HEAD CHARACTER PARK THERE ARE PLACES MAYOR WHICH WE HAVE PARKS ACROSS THIS ISLAND WHERE ADDITIONAL AND ANCHOR BALL COURTS CAN GO. ONE IS SAYING THAT PICKLEBALL IS DONE BY ANY MEANS.

THERE ARE PLACES WHERE MORE PICKLEBALL COURTS WILL GO ACROSS ISLAND MORE APPROPRIATE PLACES THAN THIS AND I ENCOURAGE ALL OF THOSE NOT TO BE HUNG UP ON ONE DOCUMENT FROM THE PAST AS ALL OF THESE DOCUMENT ARE LIVING DOCUMENTS AND WILL BE BEST INTEGRATED AS WE FULLY DEVELOP THE SCOPE OF EACH OF THESE PARKS MOVING FORWARD THAT ARE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY RESIDENTS AND THE FUTURE AND FRAMES THANK YOU MAYOR.

I SEE SORT OF THREE LEVELS OF SCRUTINY AND WE'RE CONFUSED ONE ANOTHER FOR INSTANCE I THINK WE CAME TOGETHER TODAY TO APPROVE A PROGRAM OF USES ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT A MASTER PLAN WHICH DEPICTS WHERE THOSE PROGRAM ELEMENTS MIGHT.

AND THIRDLY WE'RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT ELEMENTS OF A SITE PLAN WHICH IS OPERATIONAL ISSUES.

AND SO I THINK THAT IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WE OUGHT TO BE ON THE PROGRAM ELEMENTS THAT WE'RE WILLING TO MOVE FORWARD AND NOT TRY TO GET INTO THE DETAILS OF THE OPERATIONS OF WHERE SOMETHING OUGHT TO GO AS OPPOSED TO SOMETHING ELSE. SO IF GOING TO MOVE THIS PROJECT ALONG AND IN ANY ACCELERATED WAY THAT I THINK WE NEED TO TODAY AGREE ON THE PROGRAM AND THE PROGRAM ELEMENTS ARE SPOKEN OUT IN THOSE RECTANGLES UP THERE WITH THAT YES THANK YOU AND SOME COMMENT ABOUT FUEL THROUGHOUT THIS WORKSHOP I MENTIONED THE POOL SO I THINK THERE IS A NEED FOR THE POOL BUT IF I PUT THE POOL FIRST AND THERE'S OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE POOL LIKE AT THE SCHOOL SITE WHICH I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SO BUT TO ME PICKLEBALL IS A BALL VERSUS THE POOL. PICKLEBALL IS OUT.

I MEAN WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT 24 OR PICKLEBALL COMPLEX INCLUDING THE STADIUM FOR FOR A LONG TIME. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN SIX PICKLEBALL COURTS ON THIS SITE. I DON'T RECALL IT IF IT WAS THERE.

I JUST DON'T RECALL IT BUT I SUPPORT THE CONCEPT OR PICKLEBALL CONCEPT OF THE PICKLEBALL COMPLEX IN MIDDLE OF THIS CHAPMAN PARK SITE WHICH IS SURROUNDED BY RECOVER AND UNDERCOVER WHICH WALKED AND TO KEEP IT COVERED . SO I SUPPORT THE CONCEPT OF A 24 COURT COMPLEX. THANK YOU HAVING OTHER COMMENTS FROM PUBLIC COMMENT THAT'S FINE AND THAT'LL COME AFTER IT THE END JUST AS WE'RE SET UP AS WILL BE APPROVED ON THE AGENDA.

OKAY I KNOW WHO WROTE BACKGROUND BUT BRING BACK SOME MEMORIES WITH ME PARTICULARLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 1995 TOWN ACQUIRED THIS PROPERTY THE FERGUSONS AND THERE'S BEEN A

[00:55:05]

OH, THEY'RE ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. UM, UNCLE WAS A BIT INTRIGUED WITH THE AERIALS. UM WHEN THE LAND WAS OPEN HE WAS DOING FARMING LAND AND THAT'S WHY I WAS OPEN. AND THIS ONE SENTENCE IN THE BACKGROUND TALKS ABOUT THE CHAMPLIN COMMUNITY PARK HAS REMAINED THE TOWN'S LARGEST AND MOST DIVERSIFIED PUBLIC PARK SPACE ON HILTON IS WHY DO I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT? BECAUSE I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN AMES WE ARE HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT BIG PICTURE AND WHAT I'M HEARING FROM OUR STAFF IS THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE SOME COMPROMISES HERE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THIS PARK BEING DIVERSIFIED. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO GIVE UP SOMETHING IF WE'RE GOING TO DO MORE OF SOMETHING AND I JUST WANT US TO ALL BE AWARE THAT FACT AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD TRYING TO MAKE A DECISION TODAY SO WE'VE BEEN YOU KNOW FROM WHAT I SEE WE HAVE ZERO PICKLEBALL HERE TODAY. YOU NOW HAVE SIX I'M WILLING TO SQUEEZE A LITTLE BIT MORE IF WE CAN BUT I'M NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP ANYTHING THAT'S CURRENTLY BEEN IN THE PARK OR PROPOSED HERE TO DO THAT. I'M ALSO ONE OF THOSE THAT WAS ADAMANT ABOUT US FINDING A POOL ADDITIONAL POOL. I LISTENED ON THE PUBLIC PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND OUR STAFF HAS PRODUCED THIS CONDITION AND TRENDS REPORT. IT TALKS ABOUT HOW OUR AVERAGE MEDIAN AGE CONTINUES TO GO UP AND THAT YOUNG FAMILIES ARE LEAVING HEALTH IN THERE. SO AS I WELCOME ALL OF THOSE THAT ARE HAVING THE NEED TO PLAY PICKLEBALL I'M WELCOMING OUR FAMILIES BACK.

I HAD THE PLEASURE OF VISITING THE REC CENTER OVER THE WEEKEND WHERE THEY WERE HAVING A SWIMMING THIS ALREADY MR. MAYOR BUT THINGS HAVE CHANGED BEEN FROM THE NINETIES WHEN WE USED TO JUMP OVER THE FENCE TO GET IN THE POOL IT'S A HUGE DEMAND FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS AND OUR FAMILIES HERE ON HILTON HEAD OKAY SO I'M NOT TODAY THAT THE POOL HAS TO GO HERE BUT WHAT I AM BEING VERY AGAIN IS THAT WE HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER SPOT ON HILTON HEAD FOR A POOL SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE THAT FOR THE OTHER SEGMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY WHICH IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE PICKLEBALL PLAYERS. I'M JUST GONNA TAKE A COUPLE STEPS FORWARD BECAUSE I'M IN SUPPORT OF THIS MASTER PLAN AGAIN IF WE CAN SQUEEZE SOME MORE PICKLEBALL LET'S LET'S DO IT. I'M HAPPY TO SEE THAT WE ARE SPEAKING ABOUT THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS. I KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE HAVING A MORE DEEP CONVERSATION ABOUT THE ENTIRE TO 70 CONNECTORS.

OKAY. SO I THINK THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STRETCH.

I ALSO WANTED US TO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PARKING BREAKDOWN .

I KNOW IT IS RIGHT NOW 300 SPACES SO TO SPEAK FOR EACH PARKING.

I MEAN WE ALL KNOW THAT PARKING AS PARKING YOU CAN'T NECESSARILY DESIGNATED FOR BEACH OR OTHERWISE BUT AS WE'RE HAVING THIS BIGGER CONVERSATION ABOUT PARKING ON HILTON AND WITH THE OTHER FACILITIES AND PEOPLE CAN YOU KNOW, MAYBE THIS OPPORTUNITY WAS TO REALLY HAVE A CONVERSATION AROUND SHUTTLE PROGRAMS BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY SHORT TERM RENTALS THIS AREA THAT ARE USING THIS AS AN ACCESS MAYBE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THERE AND THE LAST ONE I WOULD MENTION IS THE HURRICANE DEBRIS LOCATION. UM, WE WILL BE INVESTING A LOT OF MONEY INTO THESE FIELDS IF WE'RE GOING TO TO CHANGE THE ORIENTATION OF THE ABBEY WE NEED TO CONSIDER THE ISLAND TRACT AS A POTENTIAL DEBRIS MANAGEMENT CENTER.

I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS ON THAT I'M JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE FOR US TO PROVOKE A LOT OF THOUGHT. I KNOW WE ALL OF IT LAST TIME WE HAD A HURRICANE BUT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING USED WITH THIS ONE PROGRAM.

OKAY SO MAYBE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THERE THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS, MR. MAYOR.

[01:00:03]

THANK YOU. THE DREAMS. THANK YOU GUYS.

I WANTED TO EMPHASIZE MY COMMENTS SO THAT THERE'S NO AMBIGUITY.

I'M IN SUPPORT OF THE PROGRAM BUT I'M NOT SATISFIED WITH HOW THE ELEMENTS ON THE SITE RELATE TO ONE ANOTHER. AND SO LIKE ANY OTHER TRANSITION FROM PROGRAM TO MASTER PLAN TO SITE AND I'M EXPECTING THERE BE SOME CHANGES THAT RECOGNIZE SOME OPERATIONAL PRACTICAL ISSUES LIKE YOU KNOW SO I THINK I DON'T THINK IF WE HAD MORE THAN 24 PICKLEBALL COURTS THAT THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM. SO PROGRAMING ASPECT HERE IF IT'S SIX COURTS IF IT'S EIGHT COURTS AND AGAIN WHEN THE DOCUMENT WAS PRODUCED IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN DONE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AS TO WHAT WAS WHAT WAS APPROPRIATE AT THIS LOCATION OR NOT. SO I WOULD STILL SAY THAT I WOULD LIKE SEE THIS PLAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE THERE BUT I'D ALSO LIKE TO CONSIDER CONTINUE NOT CONSIDER BUT CONTINUE LOOKING FOR A HOME FOR 24 COURTS HAVE A FULL COMPLEX IF IT IS 36 COMP OF COURSE WE HAVE I DON'T THINK THAT THEY'LL BE OPEN RIGHT SO SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING THINGS RIGHT. WE'RE HEARING FROM THE PUBLIC WE'RE HEARING FROM LET'S REALLY LOOK AT IT AND GO OKAY, WE NEED TO IMPROVE THIS PARK. IT DOES NOT MEET THE CURRENT PLANS FOR OUR COMMUNITY. LET'S ALSO LOOK AT THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO GO THERE AND DETERMINE IT'S SIX COURTS. IT'S EIGHT COURTS BUT WHERE ELSE CAN WE HONESTLY PUT A TRUE FACILITY THAT MAKES SENSE WITHOUT THE IMPACT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS THE TIME CALL AND COMMENT ON THAT THERE I LIKE MR. BROWN ASK ABOUT PUBLIC BEING DIVIDED BETWEEN THE TWO PARKS I KNOW THE PROGRAM THE PLAN IS WE CAN CHANGE IT I THINK IT'D BE GOOD TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC THIS POINT ON THIS PARK OR ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR HER SHAWN OR MR. COUNCILMAN DOES THE CROSSING PARK HAVE FLEXIBILITY, HAVE 24 COURTS? YES, BUT IT HAS GIVE SOMETHING UP. YEAH.

OKAY. I THINK THAT'S PART OF OUR CONVERSATIONS FOR THE NEXT TO BE CROSSING OUR COMMENTS AND A GOOD REASON FOR US TO CONTINUE PRIOR TO HEARING PUBLIC COMMENT IT MIGHT BE SOME ANSWERS THEY COME UP IN THAT DISCUSSION THAT WAS MY THAT WAS MY ORIGINAL THOUGHT PROCESS AND THAT THAT SINCE SINCE THERE'S ELEMENTS OF BOTH THIS PROCESS I'M GOING TO GO BACK IN AND JUST ASK IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER COMMENTS REGARDING THIS FACILITY OUTSIDE OF I WOULD OPEN THAT UP NOW BECAUSE I THINK PICKLEBALL IS IS ITS OWN CONVERSATION WHICH COULD BE HANDLED THE END AFTER WE HAVE THAT SECOND PRESENTATION AND WE TALK ABOUT PICKLEBALL THERE. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THIS PARK FROM PUBLIC OUTSIDE OF PICKLEBALL? I SEE ONE HAND IN THE BACK RIGHT. I COULDN'T SEE IT SITTING BACK THERE.

YOU DIDN'T TELL ME TELL YOU COUNCILMAN BROWN, YOU SNUCK IN THE REC CENTER POOL THE FENCE.

OH MY GOD. IT'S ON TV TOO. I THINK I GOT SOME OF YOUR BUDDIES THOUGH. ONE TIME I HAD WANT TO JUST SAY THAT THIS I THINK THIS COMES JAMES AND COUNCILMAN BROWN STATING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PROGRAM ELEMENTS AS WELL WE LOOK AT THINGS TOO AND GO TO THE MASTER. SO THE PROGRAM ELEMENTS UP HERE HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB IN PUTTING TOGETHER BASED ON ALL YOUR CURRENT MEETINGS THAT YOU'VE HAD WITH US A COUPLE OF THINGS WANT TO GET DOWN IN THE WEEDS A LITTLE BIT.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE STORAGE OUR OUT OR REC PROGRAMS AS THAT SEEMS TO BE GROWING AND WE WANT MAKE SURE WE HAVE STORAGE NOT ONLY COVERAGE STORAGE BUT ALSO OUTDOOR STORAGE OR WE CAN STORE LIKE OUR KAYAKS SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN USING AND THAT'S SIMPLE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIELDS ARE LIT.

WE TALKED ABOUT SOCCER IN THIS BEING A SOCCER FIELD MAKING SURE THEY CAN BE LIT NOT ONLY THE CURRENT FIELD AS IT'S MARKED OFF BUT THE LARGE FIELD WITH THE TECHNOLOGY NOWADAYS TO

[01:05:07]

SECONDLY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE BATHROOMS OVER AT THE DOG PARK AND WHATEVER WE DECIDE THE LOCATION OF THE PICKLEBALL PICKLEBALL PEOPLE NEED BATHROOMS CLOSE BY SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS TOO. AND FINALLY THE BASKETBALL COURTS WANT TO INSTEAD OF HAVING ONE WE ARE CONSIDERED TWO AND LOOK AT THE MODEL THAT WE HAVE AT THE REC CENTER, THEIR MIDDLE SCHOOL COURTS VERSUS THE FULL SIZED COURTS.

SO I THINK OUGHT TO CONSIDER THAT AS PART OF THE EXPANDED PROGRAM ELEMENTS AND FINALLY MAKING SURE THE PLAYGROUND IS COVERED AND SHADED AND THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS THERE IF YOU'LL STATE YOUR NAME AND WHO YOU'RE SPEAKING FOR. OH, EVERYBODY KNOWS ME.

COME ON NOW, FRANK. SO ZACHARY, DIRECTOR OF THE ISLAND RECREATION ASSOCIATION THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I GUESS YOU HAD YOUR HAND RAISED UP. HELLO, JACK. I'M JUST SPEAKING FOR MYSELF NOW. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ABOUT SIX YEARS IN PARKS AND REC AND IN TIME IF YOUR NAME IS JACK DALEY. DALEY AND IN THAT TIME WE HAD ALWAYS FOUND THE SAME OF #10 OF SAND, A #5 BAG AND WE PURCHASED BARKER AND I KEPT PEOPLE KEPT SAYING PUT THIS ELEMENT HERE, PUT THIS ELEMENT THERE.

AND I SAID WELL I WON'T CONSIDER IT BECAUSE DON'T HAVE ROOM.

AND THAT ENCOURAGED THE TOWN TO GO BUY BARKER SO IMAGINE WE LOOK AT THIS AS A SYSTEM AND IF YOU PUT THREE TURFED ARTIFICIALLY TURF SOCCER FIELDS AT BARKER THAT WOULD PLAY IN ANY WEATHER CONDITION ANY TIME OF YEAR. I WOULDN'T TORN UP YOU KNOW WE HAD A SOCCER FIELD THE CROSSING'S CLOSED FOR THREE YEARS RIGHT IT GOT TORN UP THAT WOULD RELIEVE PRESSURE OFF THESE SOCCER FIELDS AND PERHAPS IF YOU TOOK THE THREE FIELD TO THE RIGHT DID THE CORRECT ORIENTATION NORTH-SOUTH REMOVED ONE FIELD YOU WOULD DISCOVER THREE OR FOUR ACRES FOR 24 PICKLEBALL COURTS MAYBE THAT IN A POOL MAYBE THE PARKING THAT YOU NEED BUT LET'S NOT FORGET THE SYSTEM WE'RE WORKING WITH YOU FIND SOME FIELDS ARE GOING TO PLAY NO MATTER WHAT NO MATTER WHEN AND THAT COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

AND I WANT TO THANK SEAN FOR HIS VERY PARENTAL COMMENT ABOUT SHADE.

IT TAKES ABOUT ONE VISIT TO CHAPLAINS. YOU REALIZE THAT THERE'S NO SHADE SO HOPEFULLY NEXT MONTH WHEN IT COMES TO PARKS AND REC WE'LL HAVE SOME MORE OF THAT BOOTS ON THE GROUND TACTICAL PARENT COACH TIDBITS COME OUT THAT COULD HELP HELP WIN THIS PROCESS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? I'M WAYNE DALEY, PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC.

SOME 20 YEARS AGO OR SO WE WERE INVOLVED IN THE CREATION OF CHAPLIN PARK AND IT WAS REALLY THE FOUNDATION OF OUR COMPANY GOING FORWARD AS PUBLIC TENNIS COURTS AND ACCESS TO TENNIS AFFORDABLE ACCESS TENNIS AND I SORT OF MAKE A LITTLE COMMENT ABOUT ABOUT AND THE NEED FOR TENNIS AS WE GO AS WE GO FORWARD. I'M I'M GLAD TO SEE ALL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT TENNIS CHAPLIN PARK I THINK LONG IT'LL MAKE A LOT OF SENSE TO HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS LIKE AS WELL AS THE TENNIS CENTER THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHICH MORE EXTENSIVE POSSIBLY ON THE MARSTON ROAD PARTIAL. BUT I ALSO WANT TO KIND OF LIKE TALK A LITTLE ABOUT DEMAND REAL QUICKLY ABOUT DEMAND AND ABOUT JUST HOW EASY IT IS TO HAVE A MINDSET ON HILTON HEAD THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COURTS HERE OF TENNIS COURTS IN GATED COMMUNITIES AND ACADEMY AND RESORTS AND CLUBS AND THAT DOESN'T REALLY SERVE THE PUBLIC. SO WHAT'S INTERESTING IS GROWTH IN TENNIS IN RECENT YEARS HAS BEEN ACTUALLY EXPLOSIVE. IT'S A LITTLE LESS ABOUT BECAUSE IT'S A MATURE SPORT AS COMPARED WITH PICKLEBALL BUT. IT'S GROWING LIKE CRAZY.

WHERE'S IT GROWING PUBLIC COURTS THAT'S THE EXCITING THING.

SO AS WE GO FORWARD AS A GROUP I HOPE WE KEEP PUBLIC COURTS FRONT AND CENTER BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE THE GROWTH IS IN TENNIS. THANKS.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YES, SIR.

I'M JOHN PARSONS. I'M A MEMBER OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION BUT I DON'T SPEAK FOR THEM BECAUSE. WE HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS YET.

SO THESE ARE MY OWN COMMENTS. THANK THE STAFF AND THE CONSULTANTS WHO HAVE DONE A GREAT COMPROMISE JOB. I THINK IT'S PERFECT. WELL, A COUPLE OF EXCEPTIONS.

[01:10:02]

THINGS CAN CHANGE. THERE'S NO BASIS FOR IT. PICKLEBALL ARGUMENT TO ME IS SIMPLE THERE'S AN EXPLOSION IN THE SPORT BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING.

I THINK WE OUGHT TO ACCOMMODATE IN SMALL PATCHES OVER THE ISLANDS SIX OR EIGHT COURTS AN LEAVE THE ARGUMENT FOR WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A REGIONAL ATTRACTION FOR TOURNAMENTS WHICH IS WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE 24 COACHES IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT LET'S LET'S DO THAT INSTEAD OF PART OF THIS THIS MASTER PLAN I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S BARKER FIELD OR THE AIRPORT BUT THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE TO PUT A ATTRACTION WHERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WILL COME FROM ALL OVER AS A TOURIST DESTINATION. I AGREE WITH MR. BECKER THAT THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE TO CUT PORTALS FOR VIEWS FROM 78 BECAUSE WITH THOSE PORTALS COMES AND THAT IS ONE NOISY HIGHWAY ON THE CHAPLAIN LINEAR PARK HAS BEEN SOMETHING I'VE WORKED ON FOR YEARS AND VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY IT'S BEEN TREATED HERE SOMEBODY DECIDED THAT THE CHAPEL LINEAR PARK WHICH GOES THROUGH MIDDLE THROUGH THE ALONG THE EDGE OF THIS PARK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS MASTER PLAN. IT JUST MAKES NO SENSE TO ME AT ALL. AT LEAST WE OUGHT TO INDICATE THAT THERE'S A PATHWAY THROUGH HERE WE WILL DESIGN THE DETAILS OF LATER IT'S MENTIONED YOU SEE THE LAST THE HIGHEST LABEL SAYS CHAPEL IN THE PARK WILL WILL COME HERE AND STOP THE AT THE GATEWAY TO THE PARK CALLED THE HERITAGE ISLAND HERITAGE GATEWAY PLEASE JUST GIVE AN INDICATION THAT THAT GOES TO THE OCEAN. THANK YOU THANK IN OTHER COMMENTS.

YES SIR. MR. BAILEY, MY NAME IS FRANK BRAMBLE AND YOU WHAT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT. FIRST OF ALL, A LOT OF FINGERPRINTS ON THIS HAS TAKEN A LONG TIME BUT MY HAT'S OFF TO JANET TAYLOR AND YOU FOLKS FOR PUTTING INTO YOUR COMMENTS AND TAKING THIS FAR WE'RE CLOSE. I'D LIKE TO LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE LIVE AND SEA PINES, PALMETTO DUNES AND SHIPYARD.

THERE ARE VERY IMPORTANT ACCESS POINTS JUST AS THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ACCESS TO THE BEACH THAT WE HAVE ON THE ISLAND IN THOSE THREE COMMUNITIES.

WHAT THEY'VE DONE IS PUT UP A BUNCH OF BIKE RACKS AND ENCOURAGED PEOPLE TO GET THERE ON BIKES. THEY HAVE NICE FACILITIES GOING UP BIKE RACKS.

THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE DO BECAUSE THERE'S SIMPLY NO PLACE TO BRING A CAR.

THERE ISN'T ANY COMPENSATION HERE OTHER THAN WHAT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP THE THING IN THE PLAN THE WORD BICYCLE ISN'T EXIST IN ANY THE MASTER PLANS AND I SUGGEST THAT THIS IS A PLACE YOU NEED TO PUT BIKE RACKS FOR PARKING FOR HUNDREDS OF BIKES.

PICKLEBALL IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICKLEBALL COURTS PALMETTO DUNES IF YOU GO DOWN TO SEE SOUTH BEACH TO PLAY TENNIS OR PICKLEBALL, YOU DON'T DRIVE A CAR BECAUSE THERE'S NO PLACE TO PARK. SO YOU A BIKE. OKAY.

AND SO THE PICKLEBALL COURTS NEED TO HAVE A LOT OF BIKE RACKS.

THERE'S NO PICNIC STUFF HERE. THERE'S NO MENTION OF IT. WE'VE GOT TO PLAY WAYS TO GET PEOPLE TO THESE PLACES AND A PLACE TO PARK. OKAY.

WE LOOK BACK 20 YEARS AGO WE HAD SIX BIKE RENTAL SHOPS. WE NOW HAVE 36.

WE HAVE MORE THAN A MILLION BIKES THAT GO ON OUR PATHWAYS AND WE HAVE E-BIKES GO ALL AROUND THE ISLAND WITH BRIDGE OF THE ISLAND IS COMPLETE. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE.

IT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING. WE ARE SLOWLY BUT SURELY GOING THROUGH A CULTURAL CHANGE AND WE NEED TO BEGIN TO EXPERIMENT WITH SMALLER, MORE NIMBLE LESS NOISY TROLLEYS AS PART OF OUR ALTERNATIVE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. WE NEED TROLLEYS AND WE NEED FACILITIES FOR BIKES AS PARKING AND PLACES TO GET TO THE BEACH .

SO WE ENCOURAGE THE NEW TRANSPORTATION DIVISION TO BE GIVEN NOD BY FOLKS TO LOOK AT AN ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION APPROACH SAFER ACCESS TO KEY POINTS BIKE RACKS WHEN THEY'RE

[01:15:05]

IT'S A LOT LESS OF A HASSLE WHEN WE SAY IT'S A PLAN A LITTLE BIT.

BIKE WORK IS HERE TO HELP. I COULD SHOW YOU A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT ARE BROUGHT TO BEACH AND THE BACK OF BIKES. IT'S LIKE PEOPLE ARE MOVING YOU KNOW THEY HAVE COOLERS AT A BEACH. THEY TRUST ME, THEY'LL USE IT. SO PLEASE GIVE SOME THOUGHT TO THAT AND FUTURE THINGS. PUT SOMETHING OUT THERE SAYS BIKES.

THIS IS GOING TO PARK ON ACCESS TO THE BEACH. THIS IS WHERE I'VE GOT A BUNCH OF BIKE SO I'M GOING TO GET THERE AND THIS WE'RE GOING TO PARK THEM AND.

THE MILLION PEOPLE WE HAVE ON BIKES HAVE A PLACE TO GO AND GET TO THE BEACH SO THEY DON'T JAM UP COMPLETELY LIKE WE ARE NOW. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU HEAR THE COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. SEEING SEAN WILL GO INTO THE NEXT PRESIDENT. I WOULD DO YEAH. IT'S CHAPLAIN ANDREASEN.

CAN I ABOUT THESE TWO PARKS? YES. THANK YOU.

YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU.

SO MY NAME IS CARL BRITTEN. I'VE LIVED IN CHAPLIN FOR 25 YEARS.

I USED TREES IN PARK AND CHAPLIN PARK ON A DAILY BASIS TO WALK MY DOG AND RIDE BIKES WITH MY DAUGHTER. MY LATE FATHER CREATED PUBLIC TENNIS TEAM TO BRING THE PUBLIC TENNIS TO THIS COMMUNITY AND WORKED WITH THE MAYOR TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THIS PURPOSE.

MY MAIN POINT I WANT TO MAKE ABOUT PARK IS THAT IT'S ALREADY AN AMAZING PARK.

THE TENNIS COURTS, BASKETBALL COURTS AND DOG PARK ARE ALL WONDERFUL AND REALLY JUST NEED IN MY OPINION. BUT I'M VERY PLEASED THAT THE TENNIS COURTS ARE TO REMAIN WHERE THEY ARE. I BELIEVE THE BASKETBALL COURTS SHOULD REMAIN PRETTY MUCH WHERE THEY ARE CLOSE TO THE COMMUNITY WHICH USES THEM THE MOST. AND I THINK THAT THE PICKLEBALL COURTS ARE VERY WELL SUITED TO THE SINGLETON TRACK BECAUSE IT'S ISOLATED AND PICKLEBALL IS VERY LOUD. IT CAN ACCOMMODATE THE NUMBER OF COURTS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT RATHER THAN IN THE CENTER IN MY OPINION. SO JUST AS CHAPLIN HAS NO FENCE AND IS PERFECTLY FINE, THE RESIDENTS AND GUESTS BRADLEY CIRCLE AND GREATER CHAPLIN ALWAYS HAD PEDESTRIAN ACCESS IN AND OUT OF DRIESSEN PARK UNTIL MAY 15 OF LAST YEAR WHEN THIS LEGAL ACCESS EASEMENT WAS ABRUPTLY OFF. WE WERE NOT GIVEN ANY VALID REASON THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY CONCERN AND HAVING USED THIS ACCESS EVERY DAY DECADES I KNOW THIS TO BE A MISTAKE AND IN FACT IT WAS PEOPLE LIKE RUNNERS ,WALKERS, BIKERS GOING BACK AND FORTH AT THIS LOCATION KEPT THE PARK AND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS SINCE BOTH BRADLEY BEACH AND BRADLEY CIRCLE WERE CONNECTED DIRT ROADS BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH MY DOGS AND IT'S AN ESTABLISHED ROUTE FOR BIKERS, WALKERS, RUNNERS AND.

THE CLOSURE TURNS EVERYONE AROUND AND SENDS THEM TO THE HIGHWAY 2 TO 2 RIGHT ALONG SIDE THE BUSY TO 78 AND SO ON. AND SO IT'S BEEN VERY DISRUPTIVE.

IT ONLY SERVES IN MY OPINION TO TO MAKE THIS NON GATED COMMUNITY MORE LIKE GATED PLANTATIONS WHICH IT IS NOT. RESIDENTS AND VISITORS CHAPLIN HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED THE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT BETWEEN THESE TWO PARKS AND FOR MANY REASONS NOT JUST WALKING, RIDING OR GETTING TO THE BEACH BUT ALSO FOR NATIVE ISLANDERS VISITING FAMILY, NATIVE ISLANDERS AND OTHER LOCALS HAVE BEEN USING THIS PATH LONG BEFORE NEWCOMERS ARRIVED.

THESE ARE ALL ORIGINALLY NATIVE ISLANDER LANDS HERE? THIS WAS MADE WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS IN FACT A WRITTEN LEGAL ACCESS EASEMENT SIGNED BY MAYOR PEOPLES.

NEARLY EVERY OWNER IN BRADLEY CIRCLE BOUGHT THEIR PROPERTY WITH THIS ACCESS GATE HAVING BEEN IN PLACE FOR DECADES. THIS CLOSURE IS FUNDAMENTALLY DISRUPTING THE LOCALS WAY OF LIFE AND RESTRICTED THE BEST BEACH ACCESS SAFEST BEACH ACCESS FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE WHO WOULD NOT ENJOY HAVING ACCESS TO A BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOOD PARK.

CERTAINLY ALL OF THE VISITORS, BIKERS, WALKERS AND LOVE THIS BURG AND ENJOY MOVING BETWEEN BOTH OF THESE PARKS. THEREFORE ON BEHALF OF THE RESIDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE THE LONGEST, WE WANT TO ASK THAT THIS LEGAL ACCESS EASEMENT BE RESTORED FOR THE MARCH 1ST REOPENING PLEASE AND A SECURITY CAMERA AND TIME ZONE SECURITY CAMERA AND A LOCK AT NIGHT WOULD BE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO PREVENT OR THANK YOU TO HANDLE THE SAFETY CONCERNS.

[3.b. Crossings Park Master Plan]

[01:20:02]

IT WAS FUNDED BY A ALL THROUGHOUT DONATION BY THE BRISTOL FAMILY AND THE BRISTOL SPORTS ARENA IS WHAT WE CALL OUR OUR SKATE PARK, OUR PARK I GUESS IT'D BE A TRUE FOR ME TO TRY TO USE IT I KNOW THAT WAS A SKATEBOARDER OR SOMETHING BUT UM ROLLER HOCKEY AND SOME OTHER ACTIVITIES THERE AND AND SO IT WAS EVALUATED THE 2020 PARKS REC MASTER PLAN WHICH INFORMED OUR INITIAL DISCUSSIONS WITH THE PARK SO THE PARK PROGRAMING THAT EXISTS TODAY AND WE CAN WALK DOWN THE LIST BUT IT HAS A BRISTOL SPORTS ARENA WHICH AGAIN IS MOSTLY THE SKATE PARK ROLLER HOCKEY BASKETBALL AND IT'S TIME TO REINVEST. SO THAT FACILITY IT HAS WHAT WE CALL A USE FIELD IT'S REALLY THERE'S AN OPEN MEADOW AND THERE'S A MULTI-USE FIELD THAT'S USED FOR VARIOUS ACTIVITIES PICKUP GAMES AND SO FORTH.

IT IS THE PRIMARY LOCATION FOR COMMITMENT TO ISLAND YOUTH BASEBALL AND SO YOU CAN SEE THAT IT HAS THREE FIELDS THE CURRENT DIMENSIONS THOSE THREE FIELDS ARE TWO AT 210 FEET AND ONE AT 290. AND AS I MENTIONED AS PART OF THE CROSS ISLAND PROJECT SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THIS PROPERTY WAS PART A WETLAND MITIGATION TO ADVANCE THAT IMPORTANT PROJECT WITHIN THAT WETLAND AREA THERE ARE SOME ON THERE.

CAN YOU TRACE THAT MORE SLOWLY SO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE AND AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE A LITTLE BIT BETTER UPCOMING BUT THIS LITTLE RED LINE THAT IT REALLY HUGS ALMOST EVERY BIT OF THE PROGRAMING THAT REALLY WRAPS AROUND THESE FIELDS AND I'M ALL ALMOST THE ENTIRE CENTER OF THE PROPERTY SO EVERYTHING SOUTH OF WHAT YOU SEE IN GREEN THERE AND EXCLUDING THE SKATE PARK IS ON THIS BOTTOM LEFT IS REALLY INCORPORATED INTO THAT LITIGATION. THERE ARE SOME USER CREATED PATHWAYS IN AND IT'S SORT OF DE FACTO BMX BIKE RIDING FACILITY AND THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF LITTLE ELSE AND STUFF THAT LEAD THERE BUT IT'S IT'S IT'S AN AGREEMENT WITH ARMY CORPS ON THAT WETLAND MITIGATION. THERE IS SOME TOWN OWNED PROPERTY ACROSS ARROW ROAD IT'S SORT OF THE AREA OF THIS PROPERTY HERE, THIS CURB THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT HERE AS WELL AND THEN THE TOWN ALSO OWNS PROPERTY BETWEEN HELMSMAN AND ROAD ALONG THE SECTION OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAN THAT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD AND IN FEBRUARY OF 2022 HAD SOME UPGRADES TO SOME AREAS AND THEN SOME PROGRAMING CHANGES. THERE'S A RECOMMENDATION IN

[01:25:04]

[01:30:01]

WE HAD THIS THIS MASTER PLAN AND WE DID LOOK AT 300 FOOT FIELD IN A COUPLE OF LOCATIONS AND SO WE DID LOOK AT IT AND ANOTHER 300 FOOT FIELD LOCATION HERE BUT WE GOT FEEDBACK TO NOT ENCROACH FURTHER INTO THIS OFFER ALONG THE EDGE OF THE PROPERTY AND TOWARD WEXFORD AND ALSO IMPORTANTLY YOU CAN SEE THIS RED DOTTED LINE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT FOR THE EDGE OF THE DELINEATED WETLAND MITIGATION AREA. IT ENCROACHED IN THERE SO IT WOULD REQUIRE A REQUEST TO THE ARMY CORPS TO THAT TO MODIFY THAT WETLAND AREA.

SO THIS THIS INCLUDED THE SAME BEFORE 210 FOOT FIELDS, THE ONE 300 FOOT FIELD THE CHAMPION WHAT PLAZA PUMP TRACK AND THEN THE MID-BLOCK CROSSING MOVE THE FEEDBACK IN IN IN THE AT THE JUNE MEETING ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS AND SO I'M GOING TO TALK THROUGH THE FEEDBACK AND THEN I'LL SHOW YOU THE RESULTANT UPGRADE TO THE MASTER PLAN DISCUSSION ABOUT PROVIDING 12 PICKLEBALL COURTS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO PARKING THE PUMP TRACK AREA THAT WAS AND IN THIS AREA ACROSS THE ROAD IN THE AREA NEAR THE SKATEPARK REVIEW THE OPPORTUNITY FOR CONNECTING PATHWAYS WITH A CROSSWALK THE INTERSECTION ARROW AND HOUSMAN ROAD AND SO IN THIS HERE PROVIDE ANGLED PARKING ALONG BOTH OF HOBSON'S WAY WE SHOWED A PLAN THAT HAD IT ON THIS DEER PARK INTERIOR SIDE OF IT TO SHOW IT ON BOTH SIDES OF HOW MUCH WAS WAY EXPLORE ALTERNATIVE PARKING CONFIGURATIONS AT BASEBALL FIELDS AND SO THIS PRESENTED BEFORE THAT HAD THE FIELD THAT ENCROACHED INTO THIS WETLAND AREA IT WAS REQUESTED THAT WE LOOK AT EVALUATION OF THIS PARKING AND SEE IF IT COULD BE MANIPULATED RECONFIGURED TO ALLOW A SECOND 300 FOOT FIELD AND STILL ACCOMMODATE THE PARKING PROGRAM THAT'S NEEDED FOR THIS AND ALSO INSTEAD THE 400 FOOT FIELD THAT WAS SPRUCED UP AND THEN THERE WAS A REQUEST CONCERN FROM FROM WEXFORD ABOUT ENCROACHMENT INTO THIS TREELINE AND BUFFER ALONG THE SECTION ALONG WITH SO FOR THE FOR THE ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT FOR CONFIGURATION AND THE 300 FEET TO ACCOMMODATE 300 FOOT FIELD THIS IS ONE OPTION SO IT DID RECONFIGURE THIS PARKING IT SHIFTED THE SECOND 300 FOOT FIELD FROM WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED HERE OVER TO THIS SECTION AND. SO YOU STILL MAINTAIN FIVE BASEBALL FIELDS, YOU GET A SECOND 300 FOOT FIELD BUT IT DOES HAVE SOME IMPLICATIONS IN ORDER TO MEET THIS PARKING PROGRAM. IT DOES STILL ENCROACH INTO THIS BUFFER ON THE ON THE WEXFORD SIDE AND ALSO INTO THAT WETLAND I'M SORRY ON THE OUTSIDE IT'S NOT ORGANIZED QUITE AS WELL AS THE PREVIOUS PROGRAM ON THE MASTER PLAN AND IT CREATES A LESS OF A ENTRY FEATURE AND DROP OFF AT BOTH SIDES OF THIS PARK PROGRAM FACILITY THAT WAS ALTERNATIVE ONE AND THEN THERE WAS SECOND ALTERNATIVE THAT LOOKED AT SOME POTENTIAL MODIFICATIONS HERE. THIS WOULD BE SIMILAR ON THIS EDGE OF THE FIELD TO WHAT I MENTIONED FOR FENWAY PARK. IT WOULD HAVE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A SHORTER DIMENSION MAYBE WITH A HIGHER FENCE TO 75 AS WHAT WAS THERE AND THEN THIS AREA HERE IN THE LEFT FIELD BOTTOM WATER HERE WOULD BE AN ENCROACHMENT INTO THAT WETLAND MITIGATION AREA.

AND SO WE SHOWED IT HOW YOU COULD ACCOMPLISH IT BUT IT WOULD REQUIRE SOME CONSIDERATION BY THE ARMY CORPS. YOU DON'T QUITE GET THE DIMENSION HERE YOU GOT TO LOOK AT AN ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT AND THEN MAINTAINING THE FIVE FIELDS OVERALL THE PROGRAM FOR THE SITE SO BASED ON THAT WHAT WE BROUGHT FORWARD FOR UNDER

[01:35:04]

MAINTAINING THAT CHAMPIONS PLAZA INCLUDING THE PUMP TRACK CLOSE TO THE SKATE PARK IN THIS AREA IT DOES THAT ON THIS MASTER PLAN A POTENTIAL ENCROACHMENT INTO THIS WETLAND AREA RYAN MACK WAY I HE'S BEEN EXCITED RESEARCHING A BUNCH OF THINGS WE WILL LOOK EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO MAINTAIN IT WITH WITHOUT THAT ENCROACHMENT BUT WE'VE REPRESENTED A YEAR IN CASE THAT'S NEEDED TO LET YOU KNOW OF THAT CONDITION TALKED ABOUT THE ARROW AROUND THE BLOCK CROSSING INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS TO CROSS ARROW AT HELMSMAN THIS DOES HAVE THE INTEGRATED RECOMMENDATION FROM THE THE JUNE WORKSHOP AND THIS PROPOSES 12 PICKLEBALL COURTS RESTROOM AND ASSOCIATED PARKING DOWN HERE WHERE INITIALLY THE PUMP TRACK WAS CONTEMPLATED SO IT HAS A COMMITMENT TO 12 PICKLEBALL COURTS IN THAT AREA ALONG WITH ASSOCIATED PARKING AND RESTROOM AND THE BASIS OF THAT IS IT'S NOT AS CONNECTED AS THESE OTHER USES ARE TO EACH OTHER AND THEN PATHWAY TO A VILLAGE AND MARINA IS REPRESENTED AND THIS PLAN SHOWS PARKING ON BOTH SIDES OF HELMSMAN WHERE WE'RE PROPOSING ANGLED PARKING ON BOTH SIDES WE DO KNOW THAT THIS IS AN ICY ROADWAY AND AND I'M NOT SURE THAT THEY WOULD SUPPORT ANGLED PARKING SO BUT WE WOULD CERTAINLY MAKE THAT REQUEST AND THERE WILL BE SOME ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION NECESSARY FROM COUNCIL IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT THAT WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANT TO TAKE ON AS A INTO OUR INVENTORY FOR ALL THAT AS WE TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT WITH THE CHAPEL IS IMPORTANT HERE YOU CAN SEE THE EXISTING WON'T GO THROUGH EVERYTHING BUT EXISTING PARKING TOTAL OF 336 SPACES WAS PROVIDED HERE INCLUDING THE ON STREET PARKING AND THE PARKING BAYS ARE 500 OR 14 SO WE DO HAVE MORE PARKING THAT'S INTEGRATED. WE EXPECT THIS FACILITY TO BE UTILIZED MORE OFTEN AND CERTAINLY INTEGRATING AS A COMMUNITY RESOURCE TO ATTRACT USERS FROM THE SURROUNDING AREAS. MAKE AND FRANK WILL CERTAINLY HAVE A WHITE LIGHT PARKING SO MAKE SURE THAT WE ACCOMMODATE BIKE PARKING. A LOT OF PEOPLE DO RIDE HERE OBVIOUSLY OTHER BIKES WITH THE TRAILS, THE PUMP TRACK AND SOME OTHER THINGS SO MAKING SURE TO I WANT ONE THING TO ADD IF DOTTIE DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THAT ON STREET PARKING ON HELMSMAN WAY WE STILL HAVE ADVANCED THE PARKING COUNT BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO ONLY INCREASE IN POPULARITY ESPECIALLY WITH THE ADDED FIELD SO WE'RE MORE THAN ADEQUATE PARKING EVEN WITHOUT HELMETS AND SO THAT IS A RUN THROUGH OF HOW WE ENDED UP WITH THE MASTER PLANS BEFORE YOU TODAY AND CERTAINLY WE'D LIKE TO HEAR SOME IMPORTANT FEEDBACK FROM TOWN COUNCIL THE COMMUNITY ON THIS. OKAY. COMMENTS QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL JOHN I APPRECIATE THE THOROUGH INVESTIGATION THAT HAS BEEN DONE OF THIS PARK.

I THINK THE YOU EVALUATED THE USE OF FEASIBILITY OF VARIOUS MOLECULES THERE WAS THOROUGH AND COMPLETE UM I WOULD BE OPPOSED TO ANY INCREASE OAKMONT INTO THE PRESERVED WETLAND AREAS. I WE CAN WORK WITHOUT DOING THAT SO I'M PLEASED WITH THE PROJECT. I'M GLAD THAT YOU ENDED WITH BICYCLE PARKING BECAUSE CLEARLY THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED SO GOOD JOB THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS QUESTIONS WAS GREAT YES SIR THANK FIRST OF ALL I ALSO APPRECIATE INVESTIGATION OF THE DIFFERENT BALL FIELDS IN THE DEAF AND LIKE MR. AND I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER HIT ABOUT 400 FEET BACK WHERE I USED TO PLAY AS A KID WE DIDN'T MEASURE JUST WHETHER OR NOT WE BROKE A WINDOW OR I RAN INTO A TREE TRYING TO GET THE FIRST PERSON. BUT I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM OUR LOCAL BASEBALL ASSOCIATION AND I THINK PARKS AND RECREATION HAVE SOME INPUT ON THE BALL FIELDS I'M DELIGHTED TO SEE THE

[01:40:09]

BUT THE REAL QUESTION IS I'M GOING TO BE COMMITTED TO A TOURNAMENTS FRESH STADIUM, COMPLEX AND PROMOTE THAT OVER TIME OR ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A FANTASTIC PICKLEBALL FACILITIES ON THE ISLAND BUT NOT GOING THAT ENHANCE THAT WOULD BE ONE COMMENT HEAR THE OTHER IS THE ANGLED PARKING ON HELMSLEY WAY IF I'M TURNING DOWN HELMSLEY WAY AND I FIND PARKING PLACE NOW I HAVE TO BACK OUT WHERE DO GO TO TURN AROUND I'VE GOT BUNCH OF CONSTITUENTS AT THE END OF THAT ROAD. I'M NOT SURE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE VERY PLEASED WITH KIND OF SITUATION BUT WE CAN RAISE IT UP THE FLAGPOLE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

BUT I THINK THERE ARE REAL PRACTICAL ISSUES ON A TWO WAY SIDED ANGLE PARKING SO OTHER OTHER THAN THAT I THINK THE BASEBALL COMPROMISE IS GOOD AND I THINK WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I MADE A COMMENT TO TOWN MANAGER THAT THE PARKING SEEMED VERY FORMAL RECOMMENDED FOR A HILTON HEAD ISLAND SOLUTION ESPECIALLY THIS CROSSING'S ENVIRONMENT THAT AS I SAID EARLIER IS A SITE PLAN CONSIDERATION NOT A PROGRAMING

[01:45:03]

OH MY COMMENT. THANK YOU I'M JIM EXILING IT TO BURCHARD FOR THE WEXFORD GUY HE WAS TALKING ABOUT FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU FOR WORKING THROUGH THAT AND NOT TAKING DOWN NATIONAL STUFF WE HAVE AND COMING CLOSER TO THE HOUSE I'M VERY PLEASED WITH THAT REALLY JUST AS MUCH A STATEMENT OF SUPPORT BUT THERE ARE SOME OTHER ADDITIONAL ISSUES THAT I'D LIKE TO SEE TAKEN CARE OF AND AS MR. WAS TALKING ABOUT DIFFERENT AREAS THIS MIGHT FALL INTO MORE OPERATIONAL ORBIT, TAKE SOME PLANNING AND GO THROUGH IT AND THAT IS WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON RIGHT NOW FOR THE THREE FIELDS THE LIGHTS ARE ON FOR EVERYBODY AROUND ALL THE TIME IT COMES ON DARK AND GOES OFF AT 10:00 WHEN IT'S WORKING. WHEN I CALL FRANK AND FRANK FIXES THAT BUT THE IT SEEMS TO ME WE COULD JUST DO IT ON THE FIELDS THAT ARE BEING USED SO IF YOU'VE GOT A KIOSK AND YOU DON'T WANT JUST WHATEVER NUMBER OF FIELD AND THERE'S ONLY A COUPLE OF THEM LET'S JUST HAVE THE LIGHTS ON THOSE WHEN THE WEATHER'S BAD AND NOBODY'S OUT THERE JUST TO HAVE THE LIGHTS ON AND THE LIGHT INTRUSION COMING INTO THE BACKYARD.

SO I THINK THAT THAT WOULD THAT WOULD IMPROVE BOTH THE OPERATION AND THE SHALL WE SAY THE NEIGHBORLY BEHAVIOR. BUT THERE'S THERE'S ALSO SOME THINGS I THINK CAN BE DONE IN TERMS OF THE SPEAKERS AND WHERE THEY'RE THEY'RE AIMED GO TO EXPERTS THERE MAYBE RATHER THAN HAVING THE SPEAKERS BACK IN AT THE BACK WAS STANDS ARE OUT AND FACING TOWARD THE STANDS AND NOT FACING OUT TOWARD THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SAME THING WITH THE LIGHTS IT'S BEEN A LOT IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE YEARS IN TERMS OF LIGHTING BUT THERE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE THERE OVERALL. I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE DONE HAVE DONE WHERE THEY WERE THE CLOSEST NEIGHBORS BUT YOU TAKE YOUR NEIGHBORS IN CONSIDERATION. IT'S A MATTER OF OPERATIONAL MAYBE WHAT CONVERSATION COULD ENHANCE THAT FURTHER. BUT FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF THE KIDS. APPRECIATE IT. THANKS FOR ALEX GRUDEN SPEAKING FOR MYSELF IT'S A FAMILIAR SCENE ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR THIS GROUP OF VERY WELL-INTENTIONED PEOPLE GATHER IN THIS ROOM AND AMONG THE THINGS WE TALK ABOUT AND EXAMINE ARE PICKLEBALL COURTS. WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS HALF A DOZEN YEARS NOW IT'S INTERESTING AND SOMETIMES IT SEEMS TO GET BETTER AND SOMETIMES IT WELL IT SCATTERS AROUND IN THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS OR PRIORITIES OR DIFFERENCES I'M HERE REALLY URGE THAT WE GO AHEAD I THINK MR.. QUESTION WHETHER WE CAN PUT 18 COURTS IN THAT SPOT AND SET ASIDE STADIUM COURT FOR SOME OTHER QUESTIONS OR SOME OTHER TIME IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTION BECAUSE IF WE CAN THAT SPACE IT COULD BE DONE. IT DOESN'T INVOLVE ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT DOESN'T INVOLVE MOVING ROADS OR RELOCATING ANYTHING ELSE.

THOSE ARE JUST WORDS THAT HAVE GROWN UP THERE. ADD A LITTLE PARKING AND THE COURTS IT COULD BE DONE RIGHT? RIGHT. YOU KNOW YOU START ON IT TOMORROW. THAT'S THE KIND OF THING I'M HOPING FOR.

I REALLY ENJOY BEING WITH YOU BUT I JUST WAS GOING TO SKIP YEAR MAYBE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU, ALEX.

OTHER COMMENTS YES BUT STAY WITH JACK DALEY. I LIKE THIS PARK DESIGN AND PATTY STEPPED ON A POINT THERE WAS OR PATSY EXCUSE ME IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT THE CONSOLIDATION THESE PARKS ARE OPERATED BY PARENT VOLUNTEERS AND TO HAVE A DIFFERENT OR MULTIPLE LOCATIONS REQUIRES MULTIPLE TOOLS THINGS TO DRAG THE FIELDS LINE THE FIELDS CONSOLIDATION IS IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY KIND OF TOURNAMENT OR FAMILY SETTING.

WE HAVE DIFFERENT KIDS OF DIFFERENT AGES PLAYING SO CONSOLIDATING HERE AND THEN ON THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT YOU FIND ANOTHER SOCCER FIELD AT BARKER THAT'S A DOUBLE WIN AND I WOULD LIKE TO JUST MAKE NOTE TO SHAWN IT WAS THREE YEARS AGO AND OPENING DAY THOUGH NEW PAGE WAS THROWN OUT BY MARK ORLANDO AND MY WHO THE CATCHER SAID IT HAD MOVEMENT AND HEAT SO YOU TALK HITTING BIG HOME RUNS OFF WITH MARK ORLANDO I DON'T KNOW YOU KNOW IT CAN BE A LITTLE TRICKY

[01:50:01]

WE'RE NOT TALKING REGIONAL THERE ARE CERTAINLY NATIONALLY AND THAT'S A ONE OFF COMMENT ON ISLAND RICK FRANK'S HIRING OF SARAH MIDLAND TO COORDINATE IS CERTAINLY NEEDED WITH THE GROWTH OF PICKLEBALL AND THESE TO MAKE MAXIMUM USE OF THEM AND TO MAKE THEM AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY SHE'S TO NEED SUPPORT AND IT'S GROWN WELL BEYOND WHAT THE HEALTH AND PICKLEBALL CLUB CAN ADMINISTER BY ITSELF. SO IN CLOSING I WOULD SAY I HOPE BY THE END OF DECEMBER WE CAN HAVE A CHRISTMAS PRESENT AND SOME PICKLEBALL COURTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU OTHER COMMENTS JUST BEEN HI AND COUNCIL THANK YOU MY NAME IS MARJORIE SCHRAMM AND I LIVE AT SIX ELM COURT I'M 71 YEARS OLD AND HAVE MULTIPLE BODY PARTS.

ONE OF THE REASONS I LIKE PICKLEBALL IS BECAUSE I CAN DO IT I'M NOT ATHLETIC AT ALL NEVER PLAYED ANY SPORTS. THIS IS EXCELLENT SPORT. I'VE HEARD US TALK ABOUT SOCCER ,BASKETBALL, SKATEBOARD PARKS, DOG PARK THE JUST GOLF IN THE FUTURE ROLLER HOCKEY PLAYGROUNDS THOSE ARE ALL GREAT BUT TOO OLD FOR THAT STUFF. THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF OUR HILTON HEAD ISLAND ACCORDING TO OUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS THAT WE HAVE A POPULATION 40,000 WITH THE VISITORS AT 3.2 MILLION. THE AGE GROUP UNDER FIVE IS 2.5%.

UNDER 18 IS 11.5% AND SOMEWHERE THE CENSUS DID NOT SAY THE AGE GROUP BETWEEN 18 AND 65 BUT I CALCULATED I CALCULATED THAT IT MUST BE 46.9% BECAUSE 65 AND OVER MAKE 39.2%.

THOSE ARE OUR TAXPAYERS. THOSE ARE OUR VOTERS. I FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU SUPPORTED PICKLEBALL STILL DO YOU KNOW PICKLEBALL COURTS HERE AND THERE? YEAH WE GOT PICKLEBALL. BUT THE ONE THING THAT I'VE LEARNED FROM PLAYING PICKLEBALL IS THAT WHEN YOU PLAY WITH PEOPLE IN A MIXED WHO ARE LEVEL YOU LEARN MORE WHEN YOU GET TO MY AGE MOTION IS LOTION SOCIALIZATION HELPS PREVENT DIMENSION THIS IS ALL SCIENTIFIC FACT AND I AM REALLY FRUSTRATE BECAUSE EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS WE GET AN EMAIL ALL CITY SAYS THIS ALL CITY COUNCIL SAYS THAT AND THEN IT'S TAKEN AWAY FROM US AND IT'S BEEN YEARS YEARS AND THIS IS A POPULATION OF OLDER PEOPLE PLEASE THINK ABOUT US I'M A 71

[01:55:05]

I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE SWIMMING POOL BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT I CAN DO AND I DO BELONG TO THE ISLAND REC AND IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A SINGLE LINE I DO THE BACKSTROKE AND THESE BIG ARMS OR WAY IN THE WAY SO I DON'T CARE WHERE YOU PUT IT JUST DON'T TAKE FOREVER AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR HELP AND CONCERN. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. LET'S TURN OUR YEAH. HELLO MELINDA TONER PRO METAL HALL. IT'S BEEN INTERESTING WATCHING THE DESIGN OF THESE TWO PARKS UNFOLD OVER TIME AND MY COMMENT AND QUESTION IS MORE PROCEDURAL IN NATURE AND HAS TO DO WITH THE COST OF EACH PARK ONCE THE DESIGN HAS BEEN COMPLETED WHICH BASED ON TODAY'S FEEDBACK MAYBE BE EVEN LONGER THAN YOU HAD PLANNED IN THE MATERIALS YOU MENTIONED THE FISCAL YEAR 24 BUDGETS FROM THE CITY WITH $2 MILLION FOR CHAPLIN FUNDED THROUGH BEACH FEE TIFF AND 550,000 FOR CROSSINGS FUNDED THROUGH THE TAX AND THE SALE OF THE LAND.

WHEN IN THE PROCESS WILL THERE BE A DISCUSSION REGARDING THE TOTAL COST OF THE PARK AND THE FUNDING SOURCES? IT WASN'T CLEAR TO ME AS YOU LAID OUT THE PROCESS BECAUSE THE FINAL DESIGN COMES AFTER THE TOWN COUNCIL THE TOTAL COST INCLUDED IN THE SIP IS 8.8 MILLION FOR CHAPLIN AND 13.2 MILLION FOR CROSSINGS AND IN OPINION THE APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT SHOULD INCLUDE THE TOTAL COST AND FUNDING SOURCES AND NOT JUST THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YES SIR. JOHN PARSONS, AGAIN, I DIDN'T GIVE MY ADDRESS LAST TIME TO DO THAT. I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE NATURE PARK. OVER HALF THE ACREAGE OF THIS PARK IS UNBELIEVABLE.

SO IT'S BEEN A RECREATION PARK 30 YEARS. I THINK IT'S TIME THAT WE DO SOMETHING TO EMPHASIZE NATURAL QUALITIES OF THIS PARK. I REMINDED OF NEWHALL PRESERVE WHICH I ASSUME THIS TIME AND ANOTHER VERY POPULAR IT'S SMALLER THAN THE WETLANDS IT'S 50 ACRES I THINK THE WETLANDS HERE 60. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT BICYCLE TRAILS. I'M TALKING ABOUT TWO FOOT TO THREE FOOT WIDE OR SOME MATERIAL OTHER THAN ASPHALT WITH INTERPRETIVE ALONG THE WAY AS THEY ARE IN THE NEWHALL PRESERVE. OTHERWISE I THINK THIS IS A VERY GOOD PLAN.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. JUST PAM.

I'M JUDY BASTIAN. SOME OF YOU PROBABLY SEEN ME BEFORE I WORKED ON PICKLEBALL FOR OVER NINE YEARS PROBABLY BEFORE MOST OF YOU EVEN HEARD OF IT OR KNEW WHAT IT WAS.

I AM VERY GRATIFIED TODAY TO HEAR PEOPLE HAVING SO MANY POSITIVE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT PICKLEBALL IN THE PAST IT'S ALWAYS KIND OF BEEN AND SO I'M AT LEAST GLAD THAT PEOPLE ARE GETTING THE MESSAGE OF HOW IMPORTANT IT IS AND. I HAD SOME IDEAS THAT PIGGYBACK ON WHAT THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER SAID AND IT'S ABOUT AGE YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT THE MAKEUP OF THIS ISLAND IS. YOU KNOW, 5% OF THE KIDS ARE UNDER TEN BUT YET WE DO PLAYGROUND AFTER PLAYGROUND AFTER PLAYGROUND PLAYGROUND EQUIP ALL THIS KIND OF STUFF AND THEN THE UNDER 18 IS 11.5 SOCCER, BASEBALL, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

WE CAN'T DO THAT. THE MEDIAN AGE HERE IS 60 AND WE NEED TO GET SOME ACTIVITIES THAT WE CAN DO. THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TEENAGERS COME ON AND IT'S A FAMILY EVENT. IT'S NOT JUST FOR US BUT THINK YOU NEED TO START LOOKING AT WHAT YOUR DEMOGRAPHICS ARE AND TRY TO DO SOME ACTIVITIES FOR THAT.

I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT AND PEOPLE CAN ANSWER AT THE END.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE CURRENT COST OF A PICKLEBALL COURT IS TO BUILD WOULD IT NOT BE MORE ECONOMICAL TO BUILD ALL THEM IN ONE PLACE AT ONE TIME? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE FOR THAT? ALSO I'D LIKE TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO HIS QUESTION ABOUT HOW MUCH SPACE IT TAKES FOR 24 PICKLEBALL COURTS THAT SOUNDS HUGE BUT THAT'S THE SIZE ABOUT SEVEN TENNIS COURTS SO WE WERE

[02:00:05]

I HEARD THAT SOMEBODY COMPLAINED ABOUT IT WAS GOING TO BE TOO MUCH NOISE.

IS THAT BEEN PROVEN OR IS THAT JUST ONE PERSON COMPLAINING? MY OTHER QUESTION ABOUT MIT TRACK COULDN'T WE JUST TAKE A CORNER OF THAT AND DEVELOP IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE IN THE CENTER. JUST TAKE SOME AREA THAT COULD BE CONNECTED TO OTHER PLACES.

THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS THE PUMP TRACK. I'M CURIOUS HOW MUCH THAT'S GOING TO BE I THINK THAT'S A PRETTY NEW CONCEPT. LIKE YOU SAID, I'VE BEEN WORKING ON PICKLEBALL FOR NINE YEARS SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS I WANT TO HAVE ANSWERED AT THE END AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW BUT THINK ABOUT THOSE CONTRIBUTE A LOT OF MONEY TO THE ISLAND I MEAN IN OUR DUES I'VE GOT TO GET YOU UP THERE.

YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS ENDS UP BACK THERE.

ELENA HELLO. MY NAME'S TRADITIONALLY AND I'VE LIVED HERE I PURCHASED PROPERTY 2012 AND I'VE LIVED HERE SINCE 2014. AT THAT TIME I CAME THE ISLAND AS A RACQUETBALL PLAYER AND THAT WAS MY DESIRE AND I WANTED PLAY SO THE ONLY PLACE I COULD PLAY WAS A FOLLY FIELD WELL FIDDLERS COVE SCUSE ME. AND WHEN IT WAS SOLD OR THE OWNERS COMPLAINED IT WAS NO LONGER OPEN TO ANYONE BUT OWNERS SO I HAD TO FIND ANOTHER SPORT. WELL, I WAS TOLD GO TO THE REC CENTER.

THEY'RE PLAYING PICKLEBALL AND I WHAT THE HECK IS THAT SO ANYWAY I LOVED IT.

I WENT THERE, I BECAME PART OF A FAMILY. I GET EMOTIONAL ALMOST BECAUSE THIS IS MY FAMILY. WE FORMED A CLUB AND OUR CLUB KEPT BUILDING ON PICKLEBALL.

WE KEPT INTRODUCING IT WE KEPT ADDING PORTABLE COURTS. WE HAD LINES HERE, WE HAD LINES THERE AND WE DIDN'T HAVE COURTS. THANK YOU, BY THE WAY, FOR ADRIANNA. WE WORKED ON THAT FOREVER. ADRIANNA NEEDED WHO'S GOING TO PLAY TOMORROW SO THEY WOULD TEXT ME YOU PLAYING IS LOBSTER PLAYING IS TINKER PLAYING IS OR NOT ONE PLAYING AND I WAS LIKE OH MY GOSH QUIT TEXTING ME. SO I OPENED UP A WEBSITE CALLED ADRIANNA AND IT WAS VERY APPROPRIATELY NAMED BECAUSE. EVERYONE COULD GO THERE AND SEE WHO'S COMING TOMORROW WHO'S COMING TODAY AND IT'S IT'S JUST IT'S BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE AND I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR ALL YOUR POSITIVE COMMENTS. MISS PATSY, I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU WENT BACK IN AS JUDY SAID, WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR NINE YEARS.

I'M NOT NEW AT THIS. THESE ARE YOUR NEW PEOPLE THEY STEPPED IN AND SAID WE'LL CARRY THE TORCH AND THEY'VE DONE EXCELLENT JOB AND YOU'VE LISTENED AND I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH. I DON'T KNOW WHERE JUDY LEFT OFF.

I'VE LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT BUT THIS IS ONE THING THAT MY VERY DEAR FRIENDS GAVE TO ME AND A LOT ABOUT KEEPING IT COMMUNITY KEEPING THE 24 COURTS THAT MY GREAT PROFESSIONAL RACQUETBALL PLAYER TRIED TO INTRODUCED TEN YEARS AGO AND HE WAS PRESIDENT OF THE PARKS AND REC AND GOT THE PERMISSION FROM THE TOWN FOR 24 COURTS. HE WANTED A RACKET FACILITY.

HE WANTED RACQUETBALL COURTS INCLUDED. HE WANTED TENNIS INCLUDED, HE WANTED PICKLEBALL INCLUDED AND HE HAD A GRAND PLAN. A LOT OF THE TENNIS PLAYERS AND RACQUETBALL PLAYERS NOW WILL OR PICKLEBALL PLAYERS WILL KIND OF HEADS BUT WHY NOT BRING US ALL WE THOUGHT WE HAD MARSHLAND FOR 424 COURTS PROPERTY DOWN BY THE ZIP LINE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WAS GONE. NO, WE'RE GOING TO USE THAT FOR TENNIS NOW BECAUSE PICKLEBALL IS TOO NOISY. THE TRACK THAT YOU MENTIONED WHAT A GREAT IDEA.

QUIET NOBODY'S GOING TO HEAR AND COMPLAIN BUT LET'S GO GRAND .

LET'S GO HOME. AND THIS IS WHAT MY FRIENDS GIVEN ME.

PICKLEBALL ISN'T A SPORT. IT'S A LIFESTYLE OF I'VE GOT A GOOD JOB THERE.

[02:05:01]

MY NAME IS CARL SEO. I'M A RESIDENT OF SHIPYARD RIGHT DOWN THE BLOCK ACROSS THE STREET ONE I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU GUYS ON ADRIANO.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE COURT SHOULD BE AND IF YOU GO THERE AS PADDY STOPPED THE PARTY IT'S A IT'S A MOB SCENE, RIGHT? THERE'S A MILLION PEOPLE NOW PEOPLE ARE COMING IN FROM BLUFFTON TO PLAY ON THE COURTS AT ADRIANA'S.

SO I WOULD JUST REITERATE THE PLANT SHOULD BE FORWARD LOOKING.

PICKLEBALL IS ONLY TO GET BIGGER SO IT SEEMS TO ME ON A ON A PLACE LIKE CHAPLIN SIX COURTS IS NOT ENOUGH LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A MORE THE MERRIER RIGHT SO I THINK FOR THAT KIND OF SPACE SIX FEELS LIKE A LITTLE A LITTLE LIGHT I HAVE TO SAY I THINK THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL PLAN SEEMS REALLY WELL THOUGHT OUT IT'S A YOU KNOW A GREAT WHERE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF RESIDENTIAL ON THREE SIDES SO THE REALLY NOT INTERFERING WITH TOO MUCH AND I THAT'S A GREAT NUMBER OF PICKLEBALL COURTS IN A PLACE LIKE THAT AND I THINK YOU KNOW IF WE CAN DO A GREAT A 24 POINT COMPLEX IS AWESOME BUT I THINK HAVING NORTH SOUTH COURTS AS WELL REALLY SPREADS OUT THE TRAFFIC LITTLE BIT AND MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT MORE NEIGHBORHOOD FOCUSED. SO YOU'RE PLAYING WITH PEOPLE ON THE SOUTH AND PEOPLE ON THE NORTH END BUT YOU STILL HAVE A A MAJOR COMPLEX IN BETWEEN IN BETWEEN WOULD BE AWESOME MY PERSONAL OPINION AND SOME FOLKS HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT I DON'T FEEL THE NEED FOR A YOU KNOW A TOURNAMENT LEVEL LET ON THAT I DIDN'T DO THAT OR OR C PINES THE BENEFITS COME TO THE BUSINESSES AROUND ANYWAY THE RESTAURANTS AND THE BARS FOR FOR PEOPLE WHO COME IN AND SEE THOSE THINGS SO IF WE CAN GET THESE DONE QUICKER AND FASTER WITHOUT TRYING TO FIND YOU KNOW, A TOURNAMENT LEVEL COURT THAT BE THAT WOULD BE MY POINT OF VIEW.

ALL RIGHT. AWESOME. THANKS, GUYS APPRECIATE IT.

YOU JUST BRING AGAIN AS MANY FIRST TO COMMENT ABOUT THE PARCEL I WOULD PROBABLY SHOVE ANOTHER FOUR PICKLEBALL COURTS AND ENOUGH ROOM FOR ALEX'S GRAVESITE.

I YOU'RE WELCOME ALEX I'D LIKE TO TALK MORE SERIOUSLY. CONGRATULATIONS.

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYBODY FOR PUTTING THIS PACKAGE TOGETHER.

IT'S A VERY GOOD PROGRAM I GET GOING ON THE WAY SO I'M JUST GOING TO TALK FOR JUST A MINUTE ABOUT TO AND GETTING AWAY FROM THIS SITE. FIRST OF ALL, ON THE UPPER SIDE WE TOOK TWO YEARS TO GET FROM THOSE TRIPS ARE ON A CROSS ISLAND EXPRESSWAY WHICH HAD BEEN COMPLETELY WORN AWAY REPLACED TOOK TWO YEARS TO PUT A STRIP TWO STRIPS DOWN WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO MAKE THAT A LITTLE MORE ROBUST BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT KIDS COMING OVER HERE WHEN THEY GET THEIR LITTLE E-BIKES COMING AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE GOING TO THESE GAMES AND PLAYING BASEBALL AND EVERYTHING ELSE. SO WE NEED A MORE ROBUST SOLUTION THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE WITH NCDOT TO GET SECONDLY WE GET ALL DOWN PALMETTO BAY ROAD AS A TWO FOOT PATHWAY. WE NEED SOMETHING THAT'S BIGGER. WE ALSO NEED TO PREVENT KIDS FROM COMING ACROSS PALMETTO BAY ROAD CUTTING ACROSS THAT MEDIAN AND AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO DO SO WE HAVE TO THINK THAT THROUGH OKAY SO THAT'S THE SIDE THE OTHER SIDE AND ON OUR ROAD THERE IS A HALF MILE STRETCH THAT HAS SIX BIKE SHOPS, SIX BIKE SHOPS, ABOUT 6000 BIKES BEING RENTED PLUS THE GREENWAYS THERE. THERE'S A TON OF PEOPLE GOING UP AND DOWN AT ERODE.

WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT A PATHWAY THERE. OKAY.

WE NEED A TIME THAT SO IT'S BEING BUILT AT THE TIME THIS COMES ONLINE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE KIDS AND THAT'S WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO RUN IT. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CRASHES, A LOT OF KIND OF BAD ACTS HAVE BEEN KILLED. WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BY TRUCKS AND EVERYTHING ELSE ON OUR ROAD AS THEY GO DOWN IT TO GO TO THE BIKE SHOPS TO PICK UP THEIR BIKES TO GET SERVICE AND ALL THIS STUFF YOU KNOW, GO TO SUPPORT MOMMAS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH SO PLEASE LOOKING AT THAT IN THE CITY AND MAYBE ELEVATE IT A LITTLE BIT ON THE PRIORITIES AND I'M REALLY SPEAKING FOR JIM HALL WHO RUNS THE BIKE YOU KNOW THE BIKE COMPANY AND HE'S A VERY SOLID PERSON.

HE WOULD BE HERE BUT HE HAD AN ENGAGEMENT. HE COULDN'T SPEAK.

HE WOULD HAVE SPENT THAT. SO PLEASE THINK ABOUT THAT. OKAY.

THANK VERY MUCH AND CONGRATULATIONS. THIS IS A GOOD PROGRAM.

PLEASE MOVE IT FORWARD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO FRANK SOCIAL

[02:10:01]

I REALLY LIKE THE FACT THAT WE DID PUT SOME OF THE LIKE TOGETHER MEANING THE PUMP TRACK THE SKATEBOARD PARK OR WHATEVER LINED UP AND ACTUALLY COVERING BRISTOL SPORTS ARENA BE HONEST WITH YOU HOCKEY HAS GONE AWAY AND SOME THAT IS BASED ON WEATHER DRIVEN AND NOW THAT WE HAVE A COVER OVER THAT HOPEFULLY WE CAN BRING BACK HOCKEY AND SOME OTHER SPORTS AND ARE OVER THERE TOO SO I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING THAT COVERED AND HEARD UP HERE.

A COUPLE OF PEOPLE MENTIONED ABOUT LIGHTING THE PICKLEBALL COURTS.

I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH THAT. WHATEVER NUMBER YOU COME UP WITH I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GREAT LOCATION TO LIGHT THOSE COURTS. ALSO I'VE HEARD THE GENTLEMAN TALK ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONCEPT ABOUT PICKLEBALL EVEN IF WE DIDN'T DO 24 AND WE DID EXACTLY NOW WE STILL WE'RE GOING TO END UP WITH 30 COURTS ON OUR ON OUR COMMUNITY WITH THE ADDITION OF THESE 18 AND PLUS THE OTHER 12 THAT ARE ALREADY OUT THERE.

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THAT WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND HOWEVER THINGS COME OUT AT THE END OF THE DAY I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FENCING.

I PROBABLY HAVE BROUGHT IT UP ON A CHAPLAIN BUT WE NEED TO KEEP FENCING IN MIND TO KEEP PEOPLE OFF OF THE FIELDS DRIVING ON TO THE FIELDS AND THAT WAS AN ISSUE WE HAVE THAT ISSUE GOING ON AND WE NEED AS WE REDEVELOPED IT KIND OF LOOK AT THE KEY ELEMENTS THERE ALSO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT A RESTROOM AT THE CROSSINGS PARK OVER BY THE DOG PARK IF YOU LOOK AT IT THAT'S A LONG WAYS AWAY THE CLOSEST ONE AND PROBABLY OBVIOUSLY I KNOW WHATEVER COMES OUT OF THE PICKLEBALL WHETHER IT'S 12 OVER 24 OR WHATEVER THEY WILL HAVE SOME TYPE OF THOSE TYPE OF THERE MAKE SURE WE COVERED THE PLAYGROUNDS.

THAT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT AND THEN WE TALKED I HEARD SEAN MAKE REFERENCE TO FENWAY PARK BUT MAYBE WE CAN CONSIDER MAYBE UTILIZING A LITTLE FENCING TO PART OF THAT SIMILAR TO WHAT MR. DALY SAID WHEN HE CAME UP HERE. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YES, SIR.

THANK THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. MY NAME IS CHARLIE QUIGG AND I SERVE ON THE PARKS AND REC COMMISSION. NO, I'M NOT REPRESENTING THEM TODAY. I'M ON THE THE WEST EDGE OF THE PROPERTY.

THERE IS A BIKE PATH THAT GOES FROM ARROW ROAD UP ON THERE'LL BE ROAD TO THE CHARLES E FRAZIER BRIDGE AND THERE'S ALSO A CUT THROUGH FROM CROSS UNION PARK THAT CUTS OVER A TOUR.

THAT PATHWAY SO PEOPLE CAN GET ON THE THE CROSS ISLAND PARKWAY GOING TO THE NORTH AND THAT THAT PATHWAY IS TERRIBLE IT'S TERRIBLE TODAY AND IT WOULD UNFORTUNATE IF IT DIDN'T GET IMPROVED PRIOR TO THE FULL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PARK. BUT I JUST WANTED TO GO ON THE RECORD AND SAY THAT IT'S NARROW AND I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD THE PAVEMENT IS BUT QUITE FRANKLY I DON'T EVEN RIDE THERE ANYMORE. I TAKE THE CUT THROUGH BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE CUT THROUGH AS WELL BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT VEGETATION ON BOTH SIDES IN THIS SIGHTLINES ARE TERRIBLE AND I'VE NEARLY RUN INTO OTHER CYCLISTS THERE. YOU HAVE TO LITERALLY COME TO A STOP WHICH IS A GOOD IDEA FOR SAFETY REASONS ANYWAY BUT OTHER RIDERS MIGHT NOT BE AS CAREFUL ABOUT THAT AS I AM SO I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THOSE THOSE TWO THINGS THE THE CONDITION OF THE PATHWAY THAT'S ADJACENT TO PULL OUT OF A ROAD AS WELL AS THE NEPTUNE THE SIGHTLINES FROM THE CUT THROUGH THAT COMES OUT OF CROSSINGS PARK GOING TO PROM THERE'LL BE A ROAD.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? I JUST HAVE ONE ADDITIONAL COMMENT. EVERYBODY'S HAD THEIR TIME.

THANK YOU. SEE, NOBODY ELSE WILL BRING IT BACK.

SO. MR. BROWN. THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR.

WHAT A RECORD. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN IN SUPPORT OF BIKING ON HEALTH AND WE'LL DO WHAT I ALWAYS SAY IT AND I'M GLAD THAT WE RECOGNIZED THAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT MR. ALEX CRUDENESS AND THIS ALEX BROWN THOUGHT I WAS DOING SO WRONG UP HERE.

MR.. I'M IN SUPPORT OF THIS PLAN. THE ONLY COMMENT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AND I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE IN THE MASTER PLANNING PORTION OF THIS BUT I FEEL THE NEED TO SAY THIS OUT LOUD AS WE MOVE FORWARD WE ARE INVESTING HUGE AMOUNTS INTO FEASIBLE IN THIS PARTICULAR PARK AND I APPRECIATE THAT BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ISLAND REC WON'T BE TRULY IN CHARGE OF PROGRAMING HERE AS THEY ARE AND ALL OF OUR OTHER PARKS. MR. SAWMILL HAS MADE A DECISION TO HIRE TO TAKE CARE

[02:15:07]

AND FINALLY, I WANT TO SUPPORT THE THOUGHT THAT HAVING SOME PICKLEBALL COURTS IN THIS PARK AND IN TAMPA IS. OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ADDED HERE ANOTHER NUMBER OF COURSE WHEN WE GET UP TO THE TOTAL OF 24. THAT WAS HAS BEEN THE CONCEPT A LONG TIME. I DON'T THINK THEY ALL HAVE TO BE IN ONE PLACE.

I THINK NORTHLANDERS WILL BE HAPPY TO HAVE PICKLEBALL AT CHAMPLIN LESS HAPPY IF THEY WEREN'T THE I SUPPORT THAT THIS PROPOSAL. THANK YOU.

THE OTHER COMMENTS I COULD I JUST WANTED TO CHIME IN FOR ALL OF THE PICKLEBALL PEOPLE.

A COUPLE OF COMMENTS. ONE IS SINCE ADRIANA COURTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED ALL OF THE MOST GRATEFUL PEOPLE I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS. EVERY DAY SOMEONE HAS REACHED OUT AND SAID THANK YOU. HUMBLE, GRATEFUL. I'M SO HONORED TO HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW YOU WORK TOWARDS THAT. I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR TOWN MANAGER BECAUSE AS WE WORKED ON ADRIANA THERE WAS A STAGE ONE STAGE TWO PHASE ONE STAGE.

HOWEVER WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT AND WONDERING WHERE THAT MIGHT BE IN THE LINEUP TOO.

TO FURTHER THE IMPROVEMENTS AT ADRIANA IN THE FUTURE AND IF YOU'RE NOT PREPARED TODAY THAT'S FINE BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT THAT NEXT STEP WAS IN THAT SPACE. AND I WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THANK YOU FOR HOW MUCH YOU HAVE EXPRESSED YOUR GRATITUDE. I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE. AND AND I ALSO WANTED TO SAY WITH REGARD PICKLEBALL WE'VE ALL HAD OUR EYE ON THE BALL AND JUST BECAUSE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT PICKLEBALL IN THIS OR THAT PARK AND THE ONES THAT BEFORE US NOW THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THERE MAY NOT BE COME OTHER UP OR COME OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADDITIONAL PICKLEBALL.

SO DON'T FEEL AS THOUGH IT'S LIMITED TO WHAT HAVE YOU HAVE SOME OBSERVATIONS. I MENTIONED ANGLED PARKING ON WAY. I REALLY THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE STUDIED THAT.

MY INSTINCT TELLS ME THAT WHAT WE HAVE TODAY IS PROBABLY AS GOOD AS IT'S GOING TO GET PARALLEL PARKING ON ONE SIDE. SECONDLY, THERE WAS A COMMENT MADE ABOUT A WETLAND AREA BEING AVAILABLE FOR NATURE ENJOYMENT AND EDUCATION. I SUPPORT THAT BUT FRANKLY I HAVEN'T WALKED THE PROPERTY SO I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT KIND OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSETS HAS BUT THAT I WILL DO THAT BUT IF AVAILABLE I THINK OPENING THAT TO ENJOYMENT EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT. ON THE PICKLEBALL IF LAND IS ADEQUATE THEN I WOULD SUPPORT GOING 12 TO 18 BUT I WOULD ALSO COMPROMISE IF LAND ISN'T AVAILABLE AND SUPPORT GOING 16 HERE AND A CHAMPION. AND THE REASON I SAY AT CHAMPLIN IS THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE A VERY APPEALING PLACE FOR THE VISITING PUBLIC TO PLAY PICKLEBALL AND I THINK IT HAS MERITS THERE. SO IN ANY CASE AND I'M SUPPORTING GOING IN THE DIRECTION 20 COURTS. LASTLY I GUESS I'M ASKING THE QUESTION WHAT ARE THE NEXT

[02:20:07]

AND THIRDLY, I WOULD EXPECT THAT SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE WE WOULD BE WE WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW A SITE PLAN MORE FOR OUR INFORMATION BECAUSE AT THAT POINT I THINK IT'S COMPLEMENTARY THE ACTUAL STAFF ORIENTATION BUT I THINK TOWN COUNCIL NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO WEIGH IN FROM AN INFORMATIONAL STANDPOINT.

SO I THINK THOSE THREE STEPS ARE WHAT WE OUGHT TO BE LOOKING AT AND I'M WILLING AND SUPPORTING ARE GOING FORWARD ON BOTH THESE PROGRAMS TODAY THE COMMENTS LOOK FORWARD TO MASTER PLAN IN THE NEAR FUTURE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR.

ONE QUICK THING ABOUT ADRIANA BEFORE. IT WAS PROBABLY BEFORE I FORGET THAT TURNING RADIUS COMING OFF OF 278 IS I MEAN CROSSING 278 IS AN ISSUE.

I CAN WIDEN THE TURNING RADIUS AND IT ADRIANA JUST ISN'T THE SIDE OF THE DRAMA LET'S TALK ABOUT ADRIANA OLD SCHOOL HOUSE PROPERTY. REMIND YOURSELF TO 78 SORRY IT MUST BE ABOUT 90 DEGREES NEWS MEDIA ACCOUNTS OR WHATEVER THE TIME FRAME INTERNAL TO THE PARK. ADRIANA YOU TURN OFF TO 78 AND GO INTO THAT AREA.

A TURNING RADIUS IS CLOSE TO 90 DEGREES AND IT NEEDS TO BACK SO IT'S MORE ANGLED SO YOU HAVE SPACE TO MAKE THAT TURN AND NOT HAVE TO DO A SHARP RIGHT TURN INTO THE.

ALL RIGHT. FOR THE ASIDE ON THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT WHEN WE SAY THE OTHER THING THAT IS HEARD IS THAT PLEASE GET US PICKLEBALL COURT THE SOONER THE BETTER. AND WHAT I WANT TO ASK AND I'M GLAD IS TO ASK ABOUT THE COST BECAUSE WHAT I'M WONDERING THE SITE CROSSINGS IF NUMBER OF PICKLEBALL COURTS CAN BE INCREASED, HOW SOON CAN THAT BE DONE? BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT MR. MCCOY'S REPORT ON THE SHIP PROJECT FOR EMPLOYEE 24 AND I SEE SOME FUNDING THERE FOR CROSSINGS PARK WHICH SAYS DESIGN FINAL AND PERMITTING OF RENOVATION OF EXISTING COMMUNITY PARK BEGIN CONSTRUCTION IN FY 24. SO I DON'T KNOW WHETHER MEANS THAT WE COULD BEFORE THIS YEAR IS END HAVE COURTS ON THAT SITE.

I GUESS MY QUESTION AND 18 TO 24 BECAUSE WHAT I'VE ALSO HEARD IS THAT PLEASE BUILD A SONG DON'T MAKE US WAIT FOREVER FOR YEAR WHILE YOU GUYS TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO PUT IN MORE PARKS AND SOMEWHAT A TOURNAMENT SETTING AND IF WE CAN PUT MORE COURTS IN A PLACE OR A TOURNAMENT SETTING AND OTHER COURTS WHERE FOLKS CAN BE A PART OF THE TOURNAMENT AND THEN COME TO THE TOURNAMENT SETTING THEN PERHAPS SOME SORT OF COMPROMISE.

BUT LET'S FIND A PLACE WHERE CAN DO IT RIGHT AWAY AND NOT WAIT FOR A WHOLE PARK TO BE REDONE AND SOMETHING ELSE BEING ABLE PATTY I'M NOT OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

SO REAL QUICK, YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY. PARKS AND RECREATION ON HILTON HEAD HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOMEWHAT OF A CHALLENGE BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED SPACES WE HAVE.

AND WHEN CROSSINGS PARK WAS DISCUSSED AND DEVELOPED IT WAS VERY, VERY CONTENTIOUS.

WE HAD A MAYOR AT THAT POINT IN TIME THAT DID NOT WANT TO SEE ANY RECREATION ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND. HE WANTED ALL THE KIDS TO BE ON SAILBOATS.

SO I WILL TELL YOU THAT RIGHT NOW YOU'VE GOT A COUNCIL THAT IS IN ON RECREATION AND WANTS THE BEST FOR EVERYTHING. ALSO I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE IT NOT HAVE BEEN CLEAR BUT WITH SIX COURTS THAT ADRIANA IF IT COMES OUT HOWEVER COMES OUT IN THE END BUT THE CURRENT CONVERSATION SIX FOR TODAY TO DRAW ON IT SIX COURTS A CHAPLAIN 12 COURTS AT CROSSINGS GIVES YOU 20 IS 24 COURTS WE'VE NEVER NOT TALKED ABOUT BUT WE CAN GET MORE THAN THAT'S GREAT AND I AGREE THAT WE NEED TO GET MOVING FORWARD WITH ADDITIONAL

[02:25:07]

BUT IT DOES NEED TO MOVE FORWARD QUICKLY AND THAT'S WHAT I AGREE WITH A LOT OF OTHER THINGS HAVE BEEN MENTIONED HERE TODAY AND WE ARE GOING TO MOVE RECREATION FORWARD ALL LEVELS OF RECREATION FOR ALL RESIDENTS OF HILTON HEAD, NOT JUST ONE DEMOGRAPHIC.

IT'S GOING TO BE FOR EVERYBODY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS DONE AND THAT'S WHAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE HAVE ANY GENERAL PARK DISCUSSION JUST SORT OF BECAUSE OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT AND BECAUSE OF YOUR INDIVIDUAL COMMENTS AND BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO COLLECTIVELY ADD ONE PLUS ONE UP TO SEVEN.

MAY I JUST PARAPHRASE I THINK I HEARD TODAY FOR SHAWN'S SAKE FOR MY SAKE SO THAT WE CAN GIVE OUR CONSULTANT FINAL DIRECTION AND ONE MORE ITERATION. IS THAT IS THAT APPROPRIATE FOR TODAY? YES. LET ME JUMP IN.

SO A COUPLE OF THINGS I'M GOING TO LOOK AT CHAPLAIN FIRST. SO WE HEARD A LITTLE BIT OF AS AN ASIDE ADRIANA LANE, I WILL SAY TO YOU AND MAYOR AND COUNCIL WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION INTO COMMUNITY. I'VE HEARD SO MUCH POSITIVE FROM ADRIANA ABOUT THE QUALITY OF WORK, THE QUALITY OF YOUR COMMITMENT. I LIKE TO CALL OUT OUR PROJECT MANAGER WHO'S IN THE ROOM CHRIS MCVAY. HE MAY OR MAY NOT BE KNOWN IN THE ROOM BUT HE IS DEFINITELY KNOWN AT THAT COURT ALMOST A CELEBRITY.

I WAS WITH HIM ONE DAY SO GREAT GREAT JOB CHRIS AND AND BRIAN GETS UPSET BUT BRIAN PUSHES AS FAST AS WE CAN TO BUILD RIGHT. WHAT I WOULD SAY TO JUST A SAT MAYBE RESET EXPECTATIONS WHAT TYPICALLY TOOK A COUPLE OF YEARS TO BUILD FROM A CONCEPT PLANNING FROM A DESIGN PERMITTING PRICING REAL CONSTRUCTION VALUE ENGINEERING ARCTIC COUNCIL THROUGH BUDGETING PROCESS THAT IS A THREE YEAR CYCLE I WANT TO SET THAT EXPECTATION SO WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR CIP PROGRAM WE PLACEHOLDER DOLLARS IN THE CIP SO THAT WE KNOW IT'S A LIVE PROJECT. SO WE HAVE SOME DOLLARS FOR MASTER PLANNING PERMITTING A VALUATION OF PERMITTING HAS BEEN TAKING A REALLY LONG TIME AS HAS FINDING RIGHT PRICING CONSTRUCTION AS AN EXAMPLE WE JUST HAD TO BID OUT A PATHWAY FOR THE SECOND TIME TO GET BETTER PRICING BECAUSE DON'T HAVE BUDGET FOR IT. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID I TOOK LOT OF NOTES AND I WANT TO GO THROUGH CHAMPLIN PARK SO THAT I HAVE CONFIDENCE TO MOVE FORWARD SO THAT WHEN WE COME BACK MOST LIKELY BRING THIS THROUGH PARKS AND COMMISSION IN MARCH AND COUNCIL IN APRIL AND AS WE START TALKING ABOUT FISCAL YEAR 25 BUDGETING, BUDGETING INCLUDING DESIGN PRICING PERHAPS BEGINNING CONSTRUCTION AT THE END OF FISCAL YEAR I TO BE REALLY CLEAR FOR REFERENCE WE DID PUT TOGETHER SOME IN MY OPINION SOME GOOD STAFF REPORTS AT RESPECTED THE PARKS AND REC MASTER PLAN. IT'S THE ONLY PLACE I KNEW TO GO LOOK TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO ON EACH PARK SO I THAT PERHAPS WE WEREN'T LOOKING AT THE PARKS AND REC MASTER PLAN IT'S REALLY LINED UP HERE AND OVER THE ITERATIONS OF PARK WE STARTED BACKING INTO WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE BACKED INTO IT BUT RESPECTING RIGHT THE WHOLE PHRASE IF IT'S NOT BROKE DON'T BREAK WE WE KNOW THAT THERE'S SOCCER, THERE'S DOG PARKERS BEACH THERE'S GREAT OAK TREES, THERE'S TENNIS, THERE'S NATURE, THERE'S PARKING AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, AS WE TRY TO BALANCE EVERYTHING WHAT I HEARD TODAY IS MORE PICKLEBALL LOUD AND CLEAR AND WE FIT MORE THAN SIX.

YES. IS IT GOING TO CAUSE SOME CALIBRATION OF PARKING AND MAYBE MOVING SOME THINGS AROUND AND AND MAYBE SOME SMALLER SIZED SOCCER FIELDS OR SMALLER SIZED DOG PARK WE WILL FIGURE THAT OUT. I'M WATCHING SOME NOTES OVER HERE WE WILL HAVE FOR PICKLEBALL AND SOME AREAS FOR SPECTATOR RIGHT OR FOR AREAS FOR ME TO GO SIT DOWN AT WHEN I'M TIRED HALFWAY THROUGH THE GAME BECAUSE I'VE BEEN SOME PICKLEBALL LATELY TO ME WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE A LOOK AT A 24 COURT COMPLEX AND I ASSURE MARIN COUNCIL YOU KNOW THAT'S MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HERE TODAY PLEASE WE ARE LOOKING ARE TRYING TO FIND THAT SITE ALWAYS PARKING THAT'S A IT'S A SITE DESIGNED JUST LIKE ADA JUST LIKE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY JUST LIKE LIGHTING WE LOOK AT THE DISASTER RECOVERY DEBRIS SITE ISSUE WHETHER ADMIT ISLAND OR WE CAN BE A LITTLE MORE USEFUL I THINK I WASN'T HERE BUT COASTAL DISCOVERY IS ALL OF THAT AREA WAS USED SO WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THAT.

WE WILL CALIBRATE AND BALANCE THE PARKING ALONG THE WAY. THAT'S IMPORTANT.

WE KEEP BALANCING THE BEACH PARKING AND WE KNOW THAT THROUGH COMMUNITY SERVICE SAFETY WE WILL BE LOOKING AT THE BEACH PARKING PROGRAM AND THE UPCOMING MEETINGS RIGHT NOW BASKETBALL A PIVOT TO TWO MIDDLE SCHOOL SIZED COURTS AND FINAL LOCATION.

[02:30:05]

WHAT ELSE THE OTHER COMMENT I WANT TO CAPTURE IS AS WE CONSIDER THIS PARK MASTER PLAN THE ESTHETIC ALONG THAT STRETCH OF CHAPLIN TO INTEGRATE MEDIA OH OKAY I JUST LOOK AT THAT IS IN OUR CORRIDOR BUT OKAY WE CAN CROSS CORRIDOR I WAS ASKED ABOUT ADRIANA I'LL JUST GIVE A QUICK FISCAL 25 BUDGET WILL INCLUDE SOME MORE IMPROVEMENTS TO ADRIANA RIGHT WE'RE JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS FRESH OF OF NEGOTIATING LAND SWAP WE ACQUIRED THAT FOR FREE ALONG WITH BARKER FIELD A GREAT WHAT A GREAT SUCCESS STORY LAST YEAR BUT IN THAT FY 25 WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT ADA DO NOT HAVE AN ADA PARKING SPACE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW WE JUST ACQUIRED THAT SITE WE'VE USED OUR BUDGET FOR THE RESURFACING OF PICKLEBALL PATHWAY FROM THE FROM THE PARKING. THE COURTS ARE IMPORTANT NOT JUST A FIVE FOOT BUT SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT A BATHROOM AND MORE IMPORTANTLY BRINGING UTILITIES TO THE SITE.

THAT'S THE BIG LIFT BRINGING THOSE UTILITIES TO THAT SITE. THERE'S BASKETBALL COURT RIGHT NEXT DOOR. IT'S LIKE AS BRIAN AND SHAWN IT'S LIKE FIXING ONE ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE. YOU REALIZE YOU'VE GOT EIGHT MORE TO GO OR FIVE MORE TO GO LANDSCAPED SEATING SHADE AND I HEARD TODAY WITH THE DRY BIO PARKING I I AND I'LL GET GET SOME INPUT FROM YOU ALL ALONG THE WAY THAT THAT WILL UP BUT AGAIN THIS IS GOING TO BE CONSTANT SLATED AS SOME PLACEHOLDER PRICING IN F Y 25 THEN SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THE LAND WHICH IS GOING TO TAKE SOME DESIGN SOME PERMITTING AND SOME REAL PRICING FOR UNTIL WE REALLY KNOW THE FINAL PRICE. LASTLY UH CROSSINGS CROSSINGS I I HEARD A LOT OF SUPPORT AGAIN PARKS AND REC MAR TOWN COUNCIL MOST LIKELY APRIL AND THEN F Y 25 BUDGET BUT BUDGET WILL INCLUDE THE DESIGN AND PERMITTING PHASE MOST LIKELY IT'S TAKING ANYWHERE RIGHT NOW BETWEEN FOUR AND FIVE MONTHS TO OBTAIN A PROVINCE PERMIT ON ON WORKS SO FOR THE BUILDING A

[02:35:04]

DITTO WITH TECHNOLOGY. I DO KNOW BASED UPON MY CONVERSATIONS WITH, BRIAN, THAT THE HHS HAS SUPPORTED THE FIELDS. BRIAN AM I MISSPEAKING? IS THAT ACCURATE? THAT'S ACCURATE. I THINK KEVIN TYLER SPOKE WITH THEM AND GOT THEIR VERBAL INPUT AND THAT THANK YOU. AND THEN AGAIN AS WE GET THIS FIGURED OUT AND BROUGHT BACK TO YOU THROUGH PARKS AND REC YOU IN APRIL THEN WE CAN CONFIDENTLY START MOVING THIS FORWARD OUR BUDGET THE NEXT ITEM ON THIS IS EXCITING NEWS WE'VE MADE DECISIONS ON PARKS AND WE'RE STARTING TO GET OUR ARMS AROUND BEING ABLE TO CONSTRUCT SOME OF THESE PARKS IMPORTANT TO YOU IMPORTANT ME? I KNOW THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE SO ONCE WE MAKE DECISIONS AND WE'RE CONFIDENT TO KNOW WHAT THE PROGRAM IS, WE WILL CONSTRUCT THEM AS FAST AS THE PRIVATE SECTOR CONTRACTORS AND PERMITTING THROUGH THE AGENCIES . THANK YOU FOR THAT I CAN ASK THE TOWN MANAGER QUESTION ABOUT THAT QUESTION. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE AND CONTRACTORS NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT BUT I'M THINKING ABOUT WHAT DO KNOW I WANT TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN HAVE THE BEST PARKS THAT WE CAN BUT LOOKING AT DESIGN AND PERMITTING ESPECIALLY THE PERMITTING CHALLENGES WOULD IT HELP IF WE DO SOMETHING PHASES OH HERE'S MY SUGGESTION IF I GO AHEAD WITH CROSSINGS AND AN 18 COURSE I KNOW IT'S NOT A VERY ROAD AND WE HAVE THAT IS PHASE ONE AND PUSH THAT UP AND GET DONE BEFORE WE DO THE REST OF THE PROJECT THERE. ABSOLUTELY IF THAT'S THE WILL OF AND THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVE I'M HEARING AND THAT WAS ALWAYS OUR INTENT I DO THINK THAT CROSSINGS IS AS BANG FOR PATH TO GET GOING PHASE ONE PICKLEBALL I THINKS IS IMPORTANT AS IS GETTING SOME MORE PARKING AND SOME CHAPLAIN AND SOME THINGS SO WE CAN PAIR SOME THINGS OUT, PERMIT THOSE BUT AGAIN IT'S COST AND YOU KNOW HIRING ENGINEERS TO DESIGN YOUR WHOLE SITE IS MUCH MORE ECONOMICAL THAN DESIGNING ONE LITTLE SPACE AT A TIME.

WE WILL FIGURE THAT OUT. WE WILL THOSE ANSWERS IN THE BUDGET BUT I HEAR YOU SAY IT'S A PRIORITY AND BEYOND SOMETHING ELSE WE HAVE I WANT TO EXPAND ON THAT THOUGHT THAT THIS IS WHAT IS SOUNDING SIMILAR TO THE CONVERSATION WE'VE BEEN HAVING ABOUT OUR LONG LIST PRIORITIES AS A WHOLE. OKAY. AND I JUST WANT US TO BE AS MINDFUL AND CAREFUL OF STAFF'S CAPACITY OKAY. I THINK THEY HAVE BEEN DOING A BANG UP JOB THIS FAR WITH FORWARD MASTER PLANS. OKAY.

FOR US TO MAKE POLICIES DECISIONS TO HELP KEEP MOVING THEM ALONG.

THEY'VE ALREADY GOT A LOT OF STUFF IN THE HOPPER WHEN IT COMES TO FOLKS ALREADY.

SO I THINK IF WE'RE GOING TO PUT PRESSURE ON MR. ORLANDO TO DELIVER WE PROBABLY NEED TO PUT PRESSURE OURSELVES AS WELL. HE'S GOING NEED ADDITIONAL STAFF AND SO ON.

[02:40:01]

I AGREE WITH THAT AND AS ALWAYS I UPON MARK TO LEAD THAT DISCUSSION AS TO WHAT STAFF IS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH OR NOT AND WE FOLLOW APPROPRIATELY THERE. SO OBVIOUSLY THAT'S HIS DIRECTIVE TO US BUT YOU KNOW THESE THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR A WHILE THEY'VE BEEN IN THE HOPPER AND WORKING FORWARD SO. YOU KNOW, I HOPE IT WOULDN'T OVERTAX ANYMORE BUT AGREE WITH YOU SO YEAH JUST BECAUSE WANT TO AND NOT BECAUSE I WANT TO BELABOR IT AS WE DO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THESE BEING PRIORITIES FOR ME A TOP PRIORITY IS NOT OVERBURDENING OUR RESIDENTS WITH ANY CONSIDERATIONS OF INCREASED TAXES TO COVER COSTS ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE AMPLE INCOME COMING INTO THE TOWN THAT IS NOW BEING DIVERTED INTO OTHER.
