is need for a new major park site in N.W. Rochester to be used for a golf course and other
park purposes, at the present time, 43 000 rounds of golf are played annueally at Soldiers
Field and 23,000 rounds of golf are played annually at Eastwood; in the opinion of the Park
Board this amount of golf activity is jusitification for the City of Rochester to begin to
take steps toward the development of a third public golf course; while this proposal is not
specifically in accord with the City's Adopted Land Use Plan we feel that the need for a new
golf course does exist and that the Rossi property provides a suitable location at a
reasonable price to satisfy this need;'they therefore recommend that this property be
acquired for public park purposes, was read. Mr. Curtis Taylor was present and showed a map
