Planning Department
By Jeanne Boyle, Planning Director
Memo dated 8-15-95 to City Council from Planning Board Re: "Mauran Avenue Waterfront Park"
Jeanne Boyle addresses the Council regarding the proposed park. She says that DEM says it will not proceed with Bold Point Park unless the City provides parking, and Mauran Avenue Park would be acceptable to DEM for parking. If the City votes against accepting the Grant money, the City will loose the State money for Bold Point Park.
Mayor Grant asks if that portion of Mauran Avenue will have to be abandoned and Ms. Boyle says it will not. She says Mr. Conley told her that it will still be used for public purpose. Mayor Grant speaks of the C-5 Zoning regulations of the ordinances and says parks are prohibited in that area and this is in violation of the ordinances.
Ms. Boyle disagrees.
After further discussion, motion is made by Mr. Sullivan, seconded by Mr. Miranda, to accept the $32,000 from the State and go ahead with the Mauran Avenue Waterfront Park.
Roll-call vote follows:
Mr. Larisa Aye
Mr. Lynch Aye
Mr. Miranda Aye
Mr. Sullivan Aye

2) Bold Point Ramp
Mayor Grant asks Ms. Boyle how long it will take to get this project done. She says it could be next Spring and a lot of groundwork has already been done.

Edna Snow, representing the Council for the Elderly, speaks to the Council on the Senior Center. She says the building on South Broadway is a good building for the Center and speaks on the need for the building.

2) American Youth Soccer Organization
Mr. Sullivan speaks on the needs of the AYSO and makes a motion seconded by Mr. Miranda, to open up Pierce Field on Saturday mornings for the use of soccer.
Mr. Larisa says he would never vote without recommendation from the Parks Department and City Manager.
Joseph Crook, Recreation Director, addresses the Council on the subject. He says it would interfere with some high school football games and other planned activities. He says that the City has given the AYSO the use of 40 to 50 acres of recreational land and that Pierce Field is a special use facility.
Mr. Miranda says that Rosegarden would be the perfect place for a soccer field. He tells Mr. Lemont that he wants an answer at the next meeting.
The City Clerk is directed to read a letter which was sent to Mr. Lemont from AYSO.
Mr. Lemont responds that they are looking for a dedicated field. Mr. Miranda suggests setting up a meeting with the AYSO to determine exactly what they are looking for and to try to resolve the matter.

Mr. Larisa assures the Council that he would not say anything to jeopardize the litigation, and speaks about the future of the area and his belief that by the year 2005 the water will once again be swimmable.
