One way to address this is with an associative array of icons:
(in the global scope)
var gicons = [];
(after you have created the icons)
gicons["farm"]=farm;
gicons["park"]=park;
gicons["reccenter"]=reccenter;
Then in your createMarker function, do this:
markerOptions = { icon: gicons[icontype], title: name };
