>>My apologies, I have not logged onto IRO for a few >>days. Just to answer the question as it is; I guess I >>do not see the area as being all that secluded. It is >>surrounded by homes and another park. It will be no >>more secluded than McGee park currently is. There >>will be lighting as part of the overall Scope. We >>have spoken to the Police Dept and they plan on >>patroling the area regularly throughout the night. We >>have discussed the issue of lighting from a variety of >>perspectives. First, there is a concern that the >>lighting will intrude on the homes surrounding the >>park. Our plan is to install lighting along the >>property line at the back of the homes on Thurston >>facing the upward hill. There is only one home in >>that direction; the blue home on Lawther. We are >>making every effort to keep the lighting directed at >>the bottom of the hill on the skate park and away from >>this home. Trees will also be planted to diffuse this >>light. Another concern was that the view of FTW from >>Lawther would be compromised. I have only lived in RO >>for 5 years, but believe me, this is one of my >>concerns as well. I love that view and often show it >>off to visitors or just drive up there to look and sip >>some coffee. We will not encroach on that view. My >>own sugestion to the board is to top off the current >>trees to increase the view or replace the current >>hackberry trees with more ornamental ones that are ~10 >>feet shorter to increase the view. This will not >>affect the homes on Lawther. Since the current trees >>are 25-30 feet tall, trimming off 10 feet would not be >>noticable from the ground level. Replacing with more >>ornamental trees would only increase the view from the >>ground level. >> >>I hope this respectfully answers your questions. I >>will be out of town through the weekend, but I will >>try to log on while away to provide further >>information as it is asked. >> >>>Are you concerned about the secluded area?
