Commission pauses Hardy Lakes pad construction for further review
Summary
Commissioners voted to halt installation of concrete pads at Hardy Lakes pending additional information, master‑plan review and community input; staff said project was still in quoting stage and no funds spent.
Following constituent concerns about tree removal and impacts to the park’s natural character, the board voted to halt construction of proposed concrete pads at Hardy Lakes until staff provides further information and a presentation on the park master plan.
A commissioner reported most patrons interviewed preferred a natural look and objected to pad installation; staff responded the pads were included in the parks master plan and that work was at the quoting stage using an existing job-order contract, but no construction or expenditures had begun. Staff said it can stop the project during quoting and bring a fuller presentation on the master plan to the board.
A motion to halt all construction on the proposed paths and pads until further notice was moved by a commissioner (speaker 9) and seconded by another commissioner (speaker 10); the motion passed. Commissioners asked staff to return the project to a future agenda with more community feedback and a review of alternatives.
