Churn. Paul opened the hearing and asked for ex parte communications. There were
none. Churn. Paul then swore in all people that would be speaking. Mr. Minner
introduced himself and presented the application on behalf of the city. He asked that the
commission approve two site plans so the city could move forward with its Schumann
Park improvement project. Mr. Minner explained the improvement project as adding
additional tennis and/or basketball courts to the Schumann Park. The Parks and
Recreation Committee wanted us to recommend a modification to City Council, which is
different than what the Council planned in the 2009 CIP plan. We thought it important

that the Planning and Zoning board review and approve both site plans and then present
to Council the ability to choose one of the approved plans and move forward. The plan
before you is the Parks and Recreation Committee's recommendation to add two
basketball courts. This plan resurfaces the existing six tennis courts and then provides
two new basketball courts. The other option, which was reviewed by the Parks and
Recreation Committee but not chosen by them, was one new tennis court and one new
basketball court. The situation at Schumann Park is we only have 22,000 sf of new
surface can be added. Mr. Minner introduced Frank Wanabi with Neal Schaeffer, who
did all of the impervious surface calculations.
Mr. Dodd stated he was in support of the project and thought two basketball courts
would be utilized more by the young people at the park. Mr. Hepler agreed. Mr.
Cardinale would like to see the whole project including landscaping. Mr. Minner
explained that landscaping, signage and restroom was part of the CIP. Mr. Simmons is
in favor of both options but prefers the two basketball courts. Churn. Paul asked about
being fiscally responsible in choosing these plans and Mr. Minner said it would be the
commission's prerogative to chose one over the other however, he suggested approving
both site plans then do a subsequent motion stating your preference of one over the
other.
Chmn. Paul opened the hearing for public comment.
Don Wright, Chairman of Sebastian Parks and Recreation Committee, gave a history of
the project. He asked the commission to approve both plans but recommend the one
with two basketball courts.

MOTION by Srinivasan/Dodd to approve both plans with a preference for Plan "B", the
two basketball courts.
