"PLAY BALL"
I 2nd the motion---and it's a FACT not an opinion! I can't wait until the lights are lit up on Summerfield Road, glimmering against the seams of the baseball. I look forward to hearing the cheers from jolly children and teeth grinning parents, and the disgruntled arguments from the stands against the umps misinterpreted call. I can put up with this type of pollution.
Well, said. MStewart!

Is the Friddle property (holland and whoever else's) property going to open for visits?
--Ballfields need lights. I can not even believe that this is even being considered. The kids are playing ball as I type this and it is pitch dark outside. Most of the time games are scheduled after school, starting a 6:15pm. All games can not be played on the weekend. Be for real.
I plan to visit all sites this weekend and make my comments, but is the Friddle property going to be open or is someone blocking this?

| Thanks CJ, my real question is has permission been received for the property on Summerfield road to be publicly viewed ? Last I heard, nothing has been said. That's why I am questioning this.

I'm sorry. I didn't understand what you were asking Grits.
Permission from whom? The person who has 1st right of refusal?
I don't know the answer. Now I'm curious though.

| The Friddle property is being offered for sale to the Town of Summerfield. If the Town decides on that piece of property then an offer will be made and the person with first right of refusal has to be prepared to buy the property for what the Town has offered other wise the Town will own the property. At least that is theway I understand it. So come on and look Grits .

The Town of Summerfield's new website is up and it has maps and directions to the properties. And it's purty.

| Did anybody visit any of the properties today that are being considered? I wasn't able to go, but am interested in hearing what some of you thought after actually getting out on the property and seeing the proposed field layouts.

I visited all three sites, and it is all about location and safety for me. I did like site B (hwy 220) for the size and the potential growth to do more in the future. I don't like where it is located----too many accidents on 220, and safety is a first when it comes to my kids.
I did not like Hudson James road at all, basically because of the location (too far away in consideration to the other properties). The land is too hilly and a stream of some sort is in the center of the field.
I like site C the best (Friddle) because of the location--less chance of accidents.--more centrally located and in the core of Summerfield near the park. I have stated that before and I still am are in favor of this property.

We had about 40 people I think at Hudson James site. Mostly neighbors to the site.A lot of the neighbors agreed that if something was going to be done on that site then they preferred ball fields to houses but mostly they preferred it be left rural. We got a lot of filled out questionnaires in our suggestion box. Hopefully more people will come out next Saturday.
I have walked them all now and I think Friddles for location and flatness is first choice, 220 because I am concerned about 220 but love the piece of land. Few immediate neighbors, some good flat land although it will require some work and Hudson James least. It is a lovely piece of land but very hilly and will require a lot of earth moving. Plus it is too far from the middle of town.

This is a good opportunity fer people to get a good idee o' what the differ'nt pieces o' land look like an' give the council feedback. Mebbe we'll be ready to narrow it down an' get it goin' real soon. I b'lieve it was Ms. Strickland who was ready to go ahead an' vote on the auto salvage yard property the night it came up a few months ago. I'm glad that property didn't work out, but if the council was that close to votin' then, they ought to really be ready this time.
I hope any curve balls we might see will occur on the field after the fields are built an' not durin' the land buyin' process.
