Triplet Lake Dr., Casselberry, FL 32707 A regular meeting of the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board was held Tuesday, May 12, 2009 at the Casselberry Recreation Center located at 200 N. Triplet Lake Dr. Butch Spence called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M. Board Members Present: Butch Spence, Phyllis Sheppard, Bill Hyde, Liz Torres Board Members Absent: June Herron Staff Present: Luis Cruz (Parks and Facilities Manager), Alicia Kardell (Parks and Recreation Office Assistant) Audience Present: John Casselberry Approval of Minutes: Phyllis Sheppard made a motion to approve the April 14th minutes as written. Liz Torres seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously 4-0. Audience Participation: Mr. John Casselberry, 700 S Lost Lake Lane, Casselberry, Florida, suggested putting a bike path next to the side walk in the area near the middle school. He feels this would be a lot cheaper than adding a bike lane to the road way. Mr. Casselberry asked where Section III of the bike trail would end. Mr. Cruz replied that this section would end on the road. Mr. Casselberry asked if the addition of the bike trail would increase property value. Mr. Cruz replied that statistics show that property values do increase with bike paths. Mr. Casselberry also commented on the section of the bike trail near the school. He asked if the school preferred the bike trail in the back. Mr. Cruz said that this is the most used route by children. Lake Concord/Anniversary Park Update Mr. Cruz shared photos of the boardwalk, cafe picnic area, and playground. The handrails on the boardwalk should be going in the next 2-3 weeks. The retention pond is being worked on this week. Mr. Cruz has sent in the grant paperwork for reimbursement of $200,000. Everything is moving along. Trees will be planted in June/early July.
