I'm Margie Dwe. I am new to Clark. I moved from Plymouth where I was on the Plymouth Parks and Reccks Commission for three years and I like to participate in my community and I live right across the street from the remodeled park hoping to contribute where I can.

My feedback I think even in the survey a lot of people would want to do like half days. So I think to me when I look at this it's hard to only offer full days on the weekend Saturday and Sunday. You got to pay $400. That's your only chance to get this building. Like to me, I know you're fighting the changeover, but I think I would highly prefer being able to like section off the weekend more and have more people have opportunity to use the space at a more reasonable price than having to commit to a whole day.

I think it's a little low of a rate for hourly for this nice building that holds 125 people. And I also think that there should be a bit more of a discount for the residents. think this is like a little over 10% or 12% discount for the day. I think if that's more like 30%. I think that makes more sense for helping residents as well.

I completely agree. I would also like to include a photo of the room layout to let people know exactly what it should look like, a picture of the kitchen to let they know what that should look like. I think providing a visual as well as helpful because if you get there and you move the stuff around a little bit, people are welcome to move the tables and chairs is at their discretion. Um, but it has to go back to the original layout.

I want to note this is incredibly preliminary, very conceptual. The major reason for this is that we did hear from the parks and trails commission that there was interest in developing the uh neighborhood park off of 102nd place sooner rather than later.

I would ask that when you're making decisions about the amenities that will go into this park that you do consider the fact that it is a 55 plus community. Um, I I think we could have a park that has more green space, more walking trails, bike trail, whatever benches along the way to for people to sit in. Um, there's wetlands in that area. There could be some kind of a nature trail along the wetlands.

requested the park planning the park the that the park planning include bellweather community sessions where residents can express their needs and concerns before funding is sought and a plan is approved.

Many residents have said to me um that they want green space, which has already been mentioned before, but they want a green space that provides serenity and tranquility. And as we get older, we want that peacefulness.

Um, if the survey was done a couple years ago or a year and a half ago, the size of the community has nearly doubled in that time frame. So, there's a potential having missed was 500, we'll be about 5, we're just under 500 homes right now. About 514 and um So if it was done a year a year year and a half ago, you're missing probably a third of the current population inside of Belmont.

I think flexibility at this point is where I would as long as we have flexibility how that grant could be applied. I like the idea of covered places people can sit but not giant pavilions but I think it does it's helpful to hear feedback from the community on what that would look like.
