ExhibitC <br /> Hendricks Park Forest <br /> Department Advisory Committee <br /> Open House Comments <br /> November 17, 1999 <br /> Saddle Management Unit <br /> • Close Summit above houses <br /> • Plant Oaks <br /> • Close Birch below road near shelter (Birch begins at the shelter and goes up to Skyline) <br /> • Close road near playground <br /> • Close winding road through park (Fairmount) <br /> • Enlarge definition of neighbors to include Skyline <br /> • Legal boundary survey (park boundary) <br /> • "Poles" in saddle to habitat trees as originally stated (1998) <br /> • Remove trees R48, R49 and R45. Even though thinned, still dangerous <br /> • New road past old animal pens <br /> • Park & Ride (bus shuttle into park) in large lot across from Fairmount Pk and just east of <br /> Oregon State PD <br /> • Close park access with barricades from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. - still allowing residents to get <br /> to their homes <br /> • More police monitoring to reduce vandalism and drug trafficking <br /> • If the highest priority is the wind up Summit, let's address that with a solution: close off <br /> Summit from Parkside Drive east. Re- forest that area with wind resistant trees. Access <br /> the park from the periphery (Birch, upper Fairmount) This would also reduce <br /> pedestrian/car confrontations at the intersection. <br /> • On Saturday and Sunday during the peak Rhododendron season, shuttle visitors up Birch <br /> every 30 minutes. They could park their cars at the ODOT maintenance area by <br /> Fairmount Park. This reduces cars, etc. During the winter, stop the shuttle, visitor use <br /> declines. <br /> • At the very least, barricade Summit with barricades operated with power for emergency <br /> vehicles and enforce no car traffic through the park after 10 p.m. This reduces cars /teens <br /> from drinking, off roading, litter, etc. <br /> Oak Forest Management Unit <br /> • Encourage neighbors to plant Oaks and other native plants. <br /> • Plant trees along the sides of Summit to break up the venturi effect. <br /> • Are there plans to widen Summit? (Not encouraged.) <br /> Douglas -fir Management Unit <br /> no comments <br />
