Minutes 3-7-95 Page 3 Steve Cook, representing Keep Parks Public, a coalition group, endorsed the current flexibility of the park site and its programs, and urged continuance of same. He pledged his groups's help and cited noise, traffic, crime, pollution, and loss of open space as a consequence of the Sport X project. James T. Aidukas referenced his recent communication, and said that he was concerned about the negative environmental impact of the Sport X project, including traffic and noise, plus the resultant rezoning of the area that would ensue. He said that numerous community groups are forming to fight the proposed project. Dave Anderson noted the strong negative public response to the proposed Sport X project, and he urged community agencies to unite to buy the property. He said that the park belongs to the public, and urged that it remain so. Carol Gill said that the property should remain available for the children's use, and she asked if any funding is available for minimal park improvements now or in the future. Carol Wisniewski congratulated the District for providing facilities and programs for the community. She said that the opportunity to donate plants and trees to parks in memory or recognition of loved ones should be promoted. She said that the community is in opposition to the proposed Sport X project, and urged that the District listen to the community. Sharon Noel indicated that Dave Gulbranson's claims are fabrications of the truth and cited examples. Joel Wyenn thanked Ward and Sorensen for their accessibility. He said that his observations, based on his extensive community involvement, indicate that the community is opposed to the Sport X project. He said that the community would like to see a directed and permanent use of the site as it is currently, and the Waverly Park area become a permanent equestrian site, funded through community use. He praised the quality of life in the community, and said he does not want to see that lost.
