After a preview hearing, the plan is seen as controversial over months with 7 to 1 in principle approval and D Pat Ahern dissenting.

The plan seeks to consolidate and fence the Nu-Pike area from Pine to Cedar Aves and from the Plunge to the picnic area’s south end to host hotels offices and other uses. It would convert a 100-car parking lot on Fine Ave into space for new amusements and extend the current lease for family recreation. the lease expires in seven years.
