This is the third time this project has been <br /> before the board. Connie Reckord, landscape architect consultant to the project, <br /> presented an overview of the draft master plan. In May, 2009, a draft master <br /> plan was presented to the board for comments. <br /> Citizen comments <br /> Dr. Alexander— Indicated that there has been a lack of attention given to <br /> creosote located at the south end of the discussion area at about 53rd street. <br /> This was an area where pilings and railroad ties were treated from 1900 to 1930. <br /> During that time there were two fires on the site. Dr. Alexander indicated that he <br /> has mentioned this site verbally and in writing several times during the year. The <br /> Planning Department has not given enough concern to this site. The project <br /> should not move forward for six (6) months so that clean up issues can be <br /> investigated. Public Works is cleaning up the area farther north and it should <br /> look at the creosote site. <br /> 24 <br />
