APPENDIX A: STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING COMMENTS, (JULY 23 2018) •

Fence screening private property to the south may have been too “extreme” of a measure to quell issues with landowner-fencing located by lower rock face

Importance of the clarity of the viewshed- a major driver of current park use

Creating programming opportunities for Summer Program/local groups with park development and additional amenities

Prioritization of facility amenities/phases & funding determining what gets excluded from the revitalization

Cross marketing other recreation/tourism opportunities at HKP

Navigating potential grant cycle conflicts with other local projects (Middle Fork & South Fork Greenways & Rec Center are council priority)

INTERPRETATION/SIGNAGE:

Matching tower location with windmill site?? Or interpretation for how proximate the original site was Educational signage to designate features within the viewshed Currently no interpretation for the windmill in the plan, should be added One-way direction for parking loop may need more signage to make more intuitive •

FACILITIES

Consideration should be given to how facilities weather at the park (elevation/moisture/weather/etc.) Railing where needed around the park for risk management/safety Tower:

Potential negative feedback from the community/public based on the current existence of dramatic views at the park

Approach/framing/selling of the tower through an historical point of view, calling it the “fire tower,” or interpreting it in relation to the former

NASA Windmill

Can the cell tower & viewing tower coexist as one structure? Can the cell tower be redesigned with more efficient technology? Using the roof

of the lookout tower for the antennas?

Phase 3 or 4 implementation
