Mr. Churchill recommended that the proposal be integrated into <br />the City's long-range park plans. Mr. Churchill noted that concern exists now about <br />over-development of City parks. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Mr. Toscano, Mr. Churchill said the estimate for the <br />additional ballfield was provided by the City's Engineering Division. <br /> <br />Mr. Cox said he feels the estimate appears tow. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Ms. Richards, Mr. Churchill said that staffhas been <br />hearing from citizens, as the parks master plan is developed, that more open/passive space is <br />desired in the parks. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox said he is interested in finding a way to meet the Little League's request <br />without "shoehorning" another field into Mclntire Park. <br /> <br /> Mr. Churchill said that the need for additional ballfields is a regional problem that needs <br />a regional solution, and therefore the long-range planning approach would be appropriate. <br /> <br /> Responding to a question from Mr. Cox, Mr. Churchill said that only 30% of the users <br />of the ballfields at Mclntire Park are city residents, with the remaining 70% coming from <br />Albemarle and other surrounding counties. <br /> <br /> tar. Cox said he is concerned about the low percentage of city residents using Mclntire <br />Park, and suggested that some adaptation could made at Mclntire to accommodate more <br />Little League activities and move the regional activities elsewhere, noting that the City has <br />placed its highest priority on youth activities. <br /> <br /> <br />
