Dear Friends and Neighbors:
We met with Ken Wilkinson of Parks and Recreation, Sgt. Boyle of YPD, officers of the
Barge Chestnut Neighborhood Assoc. and representatives from Sunrise Rotary on March
7th at Harmon Center to discuss the Pavilion proposal at Franklin Park. The following
summarizes what we came away with:
1) The location of the pavilion/facility is TBD. It is open on all four sides and approx.
• 1200 square feet. Its function, it was emphasized, is for dining. Potential sites consid-
ered were: just off 23rd on the west end of the park; where the barbecue is currently
located at the southern end of the park; and in the trees in the middle of the park.
2) The facility can be rented by anyone, at any time. A copy of the Noise Ordinance will be
presented to the applicant and their signature will be required as acknowledgement of its
receipt. It was noted and agreed that the noise ordinance is ambiguous in its wording:
3) YPD is unable to enforce the Noise Ordinance due to manpower shortages. The excep-
tion would be when there isn't much crime happening at the time of the complaint or if
enough people call and by sheer volume of calls YPD realizes that the complaint is justi-
fied. Obviously this makes the site placement critical.
Although this is only a dining facility, the following issues were discussed should the fa-
cility become a music venue:
4) Regarding traffic and parking problems during park events, Ken said that the Museum's
parking lot will be arranged in such a manner that an emergency vehicle can get to the
park field, if necessary. As for the very congested parking 011 Stanley and Chestnut
which make it impossible for a fire truck to get down either street, Sgt. Boyle said that
YPD could not enforce parking problems because of manpower shortages. It was sug-
gested that Stanley and possibly Chestnut be made into one way streets for park events,
however this would require traffic controllers on Tieton and both ends of Chestnut. Tie -
• ton would be stopped much of the time to allow for the one-way traffic to merge so the
traffic control job wouldn't be a job for a civilian. It was also suggested that shuttle
buses be used to move people from their cars parked at the Memorial Hospital lots or the
a i

old Montgomery Ward Plaza. This approach will take some driver education and strict
enforcement of the No Parking signs on Stanley and Chestnut which are ignored today.
5) The original design of the facility, as pitched by Sunrise Rotary, was modified. The ba-
salt columns went away, the pavers in an apron around the facility were removed be-
cause of handicap access and the back wall was removed. Ken said that the original de-
sign encouraged its use as a truant hang -out. There could be more changes in the future
regarding landscaping.
6) 110 and 220 amp service will be made available by a Parks and Rec employee prior to a
scheduled event or booking and be shut off by the employee at the end of the event, be it
public or private. This means that Parks and Rec employees must be available on the
weekends to provide this service. Would it be possible to have power unavailable on
Sunday, we wonder?
Please give Ken Wilkinson of Parks and Recreation a call or send him a note if you have
any further thoughts on this matter.
Sincerely,
Larry Gallagher
