Helen's Avenue, directly to the north of the ball diamond, was completed. In May of 2019, Parks, Forestry and Recreation began receiving complaints of baseballs hitting the building (windows, walls and patios) of the condominium. There has been growing conflict between permit holders of the ball diamond and residents of the building. The existing ball diamond has functioned at this location for more than 40 years. Parks, Forestry and Recreation has no plans to remove the current use, but instead will mitigate the impacts of the ball diamond on the residential building to the north. This request will increase the total project cost and 2019 cash flow for the Sports Fields FY2018-2020 sub-project by $0.124 million for the construction of a fence to safely protect the residents of the building from the ball diamond users with funding from a Section 42 Above 5 percent Cash-in-lieu. The preliminary design will include the planting of a row of mature trees between the property line and the new fence.
