So the fencing for the <br />field is in place and in good shape. We want to rebuild the dugouts that were already there. In that picture, they show <br />metal posts which is not structurally what we would do. It would have 4x4 cornered posts and chain link fence with a <br />metal roof. <br />Thomas Brown: What about the concession area, what would that be composed of? <br />Greg Andrews: The cinder blocks that are there are actually in sound condition. The roof itself has deteriorated so we <br />would build it back and put a metal roof on it. <br />Thomas Brown: The existing cinder block would remain and you would replace the roof? <br />Greg Andrews: Yes. <br />Larry Wright: Is it a cement floor? <br />Greg Andrews: Yes. Mr. McAdoo told me that the second floor was not actually in use on the building but it was set <br />up so you could call the games from the second floor so the second floor is….it is a two story building. The bottom is <br />a concession so we would rebuild back the middle floor so you call the games from the top. <br />Larry Wright: So there is sound amplification there? <br />Greg Andrews: Yes sir. <br />James Carter: Will there be limited access to the field, how is that set up? Who could use the ball field? <br />Greg Andrews: That is something I have worked a lot with HYAA because HYAA and the rec department are the only <br />two leagues playing ball in Orange County but if you notice in the agreements I set up so law enforcement and EMS <br />and fire department can use it on notice and we are not restricting it just to HYAA. One of the things that the residents <br />on the west side of Orange County is that we have lacked in the community ball fields and activities and that is the <br />area I live in so we are hoping to pick up a lot more people who can afford to play ball there who can’t afford it that live <br />n the Cheeks district and ride out to Schley and travel to Orange County. HYAA will be the only field in softball and <br />baseball and if there are any other teams who want to play, we will have a schedule that they can get on to play ball. <br />Larry Wright: For the sound amplification, is the concession stand facing the railroad? <br />Greg Andrews: It faces the back of home plate so if you look on the back of what Mr. Knight did, you will see home <br />plate. <br />Larry Wright: If sound was amplified, it would go toward Southern Drive and the railroad and not toward the Enoch <br />property or the Benson property? <br />Greg Andrews: Yes sir. <br />Larry Wright: I was there today and I think I saw the property. There are trees there and there is a black chain link <br />fence around it and then a gravel road with orange flags? <br />Greg Andrews: Yes. <br />Larry Wright: The parking would be off West Street? There are 13 spaces here? <br />Greg Andrews: Yes. <br />Larry Wright: Then you said there would be 55 maximum people probably at the game at any one time. Would they
