Eurosport Soccer Center Master Plan Revision and Additional Parking <br /> The Board considered a potential revision to the approved Master Plan for the Eurosport <br /> Soccer Center and authorizing construction of the expanded Phase 2 parking lot using existing <br /> capital funds. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said that she had asked for additional information on this. She <br /> said that it looks like the concern is that there are more people than parking spaces on Tuesday <br /> and Thursday evenings between 6-8 p.m. and if there is a tournament over the weekend, there <br /> are not enough parking spaces. She said that this parking problem seems to have a rather <br /> limited time frame and she asked why improved scheduling could not be used to address this <br /> issue. <br /> Parks and Recreation Director Lori Taft said that Tuesdays and Thursdays are the worst <br /> conflicts with all of the school activities. There are a lot of spectators for these activities and the <br /> parking lot for the school is at capacity. She said that it is a serious problem and people are <br /> getting blocked in and parking in the fire lane. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked why this would take precedence over other pressing needs <br /> since this item is being discussed outside of the budget process and it is a tight budget year. <br /> Frank Clifton said that, in researching this item, there was supposed to be an agreement <br /> between the schools and the County, but it did not happen. He said that whether there is parking <br /> there or not, people are going to park there anyway and park anywhere. He said that if the <br /> County builds a facility, it should build enough parking to support the activities. <br />
