June 1975 mit a corrected document as Der your soggestions. We had intended to confer further with the I Park and Recreation Commission, but these past few months have not provided such an opportuni] ry. · Regarding your four comments: (1) We dropped the reference to a waterfront park on Paradise Creek in southeast Portsmouth which on CP-70-1 was located on surFlus~government pro- perty, (2) We clarified the status of public open space east of Crawford Street in CP-75-2 documents dealing with the downtown waterfront, (3) We assume that expansion of the Pinners Point Marine Terminals complex will engoif land on Scotts Creek and have switched its proposed designation to industri&l, and (4) We have discarded the Beazley Farm proposal in ~est Nor- folk and switched its proposed designation to residential-low density. However, the Planning Commission is still concerned over The adequacy of onen space in older oarts of this metropo- litan core city. In acting on recreational open space elements of CP-75-1, City Council might consider these resolves: (1) The Planning Commission and revamped Park & Recreation Commission should be authorized/instructed to move on a joint study of cQre city recreational needs. (2) The Planning Commission and School Board should be authorizedz~nstruc~ed to move on a joint study of school site deficiencies, if/how a remedial program might be instituted or extended, and whether State aid should be sought in areas of high urban density to compensate for a lack of yards and parks as part of our Commonwealth's new awareness of the needs of i~s highly urban- ized population, and (3) The School Board and Parlkg Recreational Commision should extend its study of how school playgrounds can be used to the maximum extent in areas of high urban density where poverty and mobility bind elements of our population to their section of the city. Because the Planning Commission felt that much good came out of our collective efforts five yemrs ago on CP-70-1, there is a hope that City Council will authorize the City Manager to proceed with the pro~ess of finalization and publication. If we are to involve more of our citizens in this process of local government, we must have access to tools such as CP-75-1 with which to inform and stimulate them."
