WE'VE GOT SOME WORK TO DO TODAY. GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE WITH THE PLANNING PROJECT. WE'VE GOT SOME REALLY NICE SLIDE PRESENTATION ABOUT THE PROGRESS BEING MADE OR THAT HAS BEEN MADE TO DATE.

WE HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS I THINK TO ANSWER AND WILL GET ON DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT PROJECT.

I'LL TURN IT OVER TO JASON. YOU WANT TO GET STARTED? COCKSURE, SHARP.

GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS AND THANK YOU HALF ASSOCIATES FOR JOINING US TODAY.

WE HAVE A FAIRLY LENGTHY CONVERSATION TO TALK ABOUT THE PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN. HALF ASSOCIATES HAS SOME CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS THAT WE WILL TALK ABOUT JUST AS A FRIENDLY REMINDER THIS IS VERY HIGH-LEVEL THOUSAND FOOT VIEW IF YOU WILL. SO WE CAN GET REALLY DOWN INTO THE NITTY-GRITTY OF IT LATER BUT, JUST AS A FRIENDLY REMINDER THIS IS VERY HIGH-LEVEL CONCEPTUAL TYPE IDEAS AND DESIGNS. WITHOUT FURTHER DO I WANT TO PLACE THE MIC OVER.

WE HAVE A LOT OF TIME THAT WILL BE DEDICATED TO THIS WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME.

IF THAT MAKES SENSE. SO ANYWAY, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO CHRISTIAN LENTZ WITH HALF

ASSOCIATES. >> HEY, THANK YOU SO MUCH JASON.

MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION THANK YOU FOR HAVING US THIS EVENING. WE ARE EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK WITH YOU AGAIN. TO TALK TO ABOUT THE PROGRESS WE'VE BEEN MAKING ON THE CITY'S PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN. AND I WILL UPDATE YOU ON THE WORK WE'VE BEEN DOING ON THE ASSOCIATED CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLANS FOR MLK, AND RIVERSIDE PARK BEFORE I GO ONE AND GET INTO THE INITIAL SLIDE PRESENTATION ITSELF.

SINCE WERE TALKING TO REMOTELY I MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY SEE A PARTICULAR PERSON ON THE DAIS WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTION AND COMMENT WHILE I'M GOING THROUGH THE PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION.

THAT I'M OVERSEEING AND WHILE AARON IS TALKING TO ABOUT THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS PLEASE DON'T HESITATE. MIKE ASKED JASON IF YOU COULD HELP US RECOGNIZE IF THERE IS A QUESTION OUT THERE THAT WE NEED TO RESPOND TO AS WE GO THROUGH OUR PRESENTATION.

>> YEP, WILL DO. >> I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTOOD.

THERE ARE 4 THINGS THAT WERE HOPING TO TALK TO ABOUT TONIGHT.

FIRST AND FOREMOST OBVIOUSLY WANT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH JUST AN UPDATE OF THE MASTER PLAN AND PROCESS. THE SYSTEM MINOR CITYWIDE MASTER PLAN WE BEEN WORKING ON SINCE THE END OF LAST YEAR. STILL SCHEDULED TO GO THROUGH MUCH OF THE FALL BEFORE THAT IS

[00:05:01]

AS WERE GETTING INTO THE PART OF THE PROCESS WHERE WE ARE STARTING TO PREPARE RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS OR FINDINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COMPILE THROUGH THE PUBLIC AND STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH OF THIS PART OF THE PROJECT CERTAINLY WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME INPUT FOR YOU ON THE INTERIM PRICES EVEN THOUGH THE PRODUCT IS NOT DONE AT THIS POINT. THE ITE UPDATING YOU ON THE STATUS OF THE PLAN WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCE YOU TO SOME OF THE PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE BELIEVE ARE GOING TO ULTIMATELY BE EMBEDDED INTO THE PLAN DOCUMENTS ITSELF.

WE HINTED TO YOU ON SOME OF THESE TOUCHUP RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN HE HAD THAT JOINT WORKSHOP WITH CITY COUNCIL. BUT WERE NOT SURE CLOSER WITH GETTING TO THE POINT OF THE PLAN DOCUMENT. WERE ACTUALLY PUTTING THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS INTO WRITING.

WE ALSO MIGHT TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY THIS EVENING TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE DRAFT VISION STATEMENT AND ALL STATEMENTS THAT WOULD BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PLAN DOCUMENT AND ULTIMATELY SERVE AS A FRAMEWORK FOR ALL OF THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS AND STRATEGIES IN THE WAY YOU WOULD IMPLEMENT THAT PLAN FOLLOWING PLAN OPTION.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT I POINT OUT THAT WE KNOW YOU HAVEN'T SEEN A DRAFT VISION STATEMENT YET.

WE KNOW YOU HAVEN'T SEEN DRAFT GOAL STATEMENTS. LET'S AGAIN WERE NOT ASKING YOU TO MAKE A DECISION ON THOSE STATEMENTS THIS EVENING.UST USING THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TONIGHT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THAT INFORMATION FOLLOWING THIS EVENING'S PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF THIS SLIDE WE ARE BASING ALL OF THE SONG. WE WILL MAKE SURE YOU BEEN PROVIDED WITH THAT INFORMATION AND THAT YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL TIME AFTER THIS EVENING TO LOOK THROUGH THE VISION STATEMENT. TO LOOK THROUGH THESE PRELIMINARY GOAL STATEMENTS AND ULTIMATELY OFFER US ALL SOME FEEDBACK AS WE MIGHT MAKE SOME REVISIONS TO THOSE.

FINALLY, WE WANT TO UPDATE YOU ON THE CONCEPTUAL PLANS FOR THE 3 PARKS THAT WE BEEN WORKING ON.E GOT TO THE POINT WITH MLK PARK AND WITH AT THE LEE TRACY PARK WHERE WE HAVE FULL COMPLAINT CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR THOSE. WE WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THOSE IDEAS. WE THINK THAT WE HEARD EVERYBODY AT THE DESIGN WORKSHOP AND WE THINK WE MADE THE APPROPRIATE ADJUSTMENTS TO WHERE MAJORITY OF YOU WILL FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED FOR THE CONCEPTS FOR THOSE 2 PARTS AND THEN WE WANT TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME WITH YOU THIS EVENING TO TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE ONGOING IDEAS FOR RIVERSIDE PARK AND WHAT COULD BE INCORPORATED INTO A FINAL CONCEPT FOR THAT PARK SPECIFICALLY. ÃJASON BEFORE GO ON I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY PART OF THE

OVERALL STRUCTURE YOU WANTED TO ADD A COMMENT OR 2 TO WAIT. >> MEL, I THINK WERE ALL ON BOARD WITH THAT. LIKE CHRISTIANSEN. WE WANT TO BE SURE TO GET THE BEST, OR TO MAKE THE BEST OF OUR TIME TOGETHER WE NEED TO BE SURE THAT WERE LOOKING AT AT THE RIGHT WAY. THIS IS NOT THE DESIGN THIS IS JUST THE CONCEPT.

LOOKING AT THIS FROM 30,000 FEET. IN TRYING TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT RUN ON THE RIGHT TRACK OR NOT. WITH THAT IN MIND THAT'S ONLY COMMENT I WOULD HAVE CHRISTIAN.

WERE ANXIOUS TO SEE HOW IT'S COMING. HUGS OKAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MASTER PLAN AND STATUS WHAT I WANTED TO AND TALKING TO ABOUT THE TOPIC IS GO BACK TO ONE OF THE SLIDES THAT YOU PROBABLY RECALL SEEING FROM PRIOR PRESENTATIONS. IT'S JUST A REMINDER I DON'T THINK IT HURTS TO REMIND EVERYBODY. EXACTLY WHAT WERE DOING HERE IS PREPARING A MASTER PLAN FOR THE OVERALL PARKS AND RECREATION SYSTEM FOR VICTORIA. ALTHOUGH WE ARE SPENDING A LITTLE BIT MORE ENERGY ON 3 PARKS SPECIFICALLY PLEASE REMEMBER ULTIMATELY WHAT WERE TRYING TO DO IS PROVIDE YOUR COMMUNITY AND HELP YOU DEVELOP YOUR VISION FOR HAVING HOW YOU WANT THE OVERALL SYSTEM TO GROW AND SERVE THE NEED OF YOUR RESIDENCE OVER TIME.

THE CONCEPTUAL PLANS. THOSE ARE NOT STANDALONE DOCUMENTS.

THE NOT STANDALONE ELEMENTS. ULTIMATELY THE CONCEPTS GET INCORPORATED INTO THE FINAL SYSTEMWIDE MASTER PLAN. THE GUT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO THINK OF THE CONCEPTUAL PLANS THAT ARE GENERATED FOR THE 3 FOCUS PARKS AS DEMONSTRATIONS. THEIR DEMONSTRATIONS OF HOW YOU CAN INVEST AND CREATE HOST CELL AND HOLISTIC REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIFFERENT PARKS THROUGHOUT YOUR SYSTEM. FINALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE SCOPE OF THIS OVERALL PROJECT

[00:10:05]

I KNOW YOU WILL HAVE ALL SEEN THIS LINE A COUPLE OF TIMES AT THIS POINT NOW.

THIS PROCESS WE ARE GOING THROUGH HAS BEEN A 4 PHASE PROCESS.

I THINK IT'S PRETTY SAFE TO SAY WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF PHASE 3 NOW.

WE'VE COMPLETED THE PUBLIC AND STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH. WERE COMPLETING THE NEED ASSESSMENT CHAPTER AND THE ASSUMPTIONS THAT COME FROM THE FEEDBACK WE'VE GOTTEN.

THE RESEARCH THAT WE'VE DONE. AND NOW WERE IN THAT STAGE WHERE AS I SAID BEFORE, WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO SOME OF THE ASSUMPTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS WE THINK WE WILL BE MAKING SO WE COULD GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD AND START BUILDING THAT PART OF THE PLAN DOCUMENT.

THE OVERALL MASTER PLAN WILL HAVE 5 CHAPTERS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN.

WE COMPLETED UP TO THIS POINT THE FIRST 2 CHAPTERS OF THE DOCUMENT.

WHAT WERE THE MINUTES OF WORKING ON NOW IS CHAPTERS 3 AND 4 THE PLAN.

AS I SAID WRAPPING UP THE NEED TO CHAPTER THE PLAN. WE EXPECT TO HAVE A FULL DRAFT TO STAFF. LITTLE REVIEW BY THE END OF THIS WEEK.

AND SUBJECT TO ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EDITS THAT STAFF MAY HAVE AND THEN WITH A FEW WEEKS OF THAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT AS MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION TO BE ABLE TO SEE A DRAFT OF CHAPTER 3 IN THE PLAN DOCUMENT AS WELL. CONCURRENT TO THAT WE HAVE STARTED TO INITIATE AND BUILD CHAPTER 4 OF THE PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS CHAPTER.

I'M GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT A SET OF VISION STATEMENT AND A SET OF GOALS FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN. HAVING TALKED TO JASON LITTLE BIT EARLIER ONE THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT IS IF YOU WERE TO GO TO PARKS IN RECREATION ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE YOU WILL SEE YOUR PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT HAS A MISSION STATEMENT.THE DEPARTMENT ALREADY HAS THE STATEMENT FOR HOW AND WHAT THEREFORE AND HOW THEY WILL GO ABOUT PROVIDING PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. THE PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN EXTENDS BEYOND THE PARKS AND RECREATION PROGRAM. THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT IS A VEHICLE TABLE BIT YOUR OVERALL COMMUNITYWIDE PARKS VISION.

BUT, RIGHT NOW THE CITY DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE A HOLISTIC VISION STATEMENT FOR WHAT IT WANTS ITS PARKS AND RECREATION SYSTEM TO BE. AS A RESULT THROUGH THIS PLANNING PROCESS PART OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO HELP YOU GENERATE THAT VISION STATEMENT.

IN ADDITION TO THAT WE HAVE PREPARED A PRELIMINARY SET OF GOAL STATEMENTS AS WELL.

SUPPORT YOUR VISION STATEMENT SO YOUR VISION STATEMENT SAYS WHAT YOU WANT TO BE YOUR GOAL STATEMENTS THAT ULTIMATELY SAY FORM THAT FRAMEWORK OF HOW YOU'RE GOING TO GET THERE.

BEFORE INTRODUCE YOU TO THE INITIAL PRELIMINARY VISION STATEMENT THE GOAL STATEMENTS ONE THING I WANT TO GO AHEAD AND RESPOND TO RIGHT UP FRONT. THIS IS SOMETHING WE HEAR ALL THE TIME. WELL WHO WROTE THIS VISION STATEMENT? WHO WERE THESE COOL STATEMENTS? I WILL BE CANDID WITH YOU. THIS VERSE DRAFT WE WROTE THOSE. WE WROTE THIS BECAUSE WE WANTED TO HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU TO ULTIMATELY RESPOND TO. FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW. I'M WHAT WERE SOME OF THE SOURCES WE'VE USED IT TO WRITE THE PRELIMINARY OR PROVISIONAL VISION AND GOAL STATEMENTS? FIRST AND FOREMOST AS I INDICATED THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT ALREADY HAS A MISSION STATEMENT. THAT CERTAINLY GIVES US SOME CLUES AS TO WHAT A VISION STATEMENT FOR PARKS AND RECREATION AND VICTORIA SHOULD LOOK LIKE.

SECOND, OF COURSE WE HAVE, WE HAVE HEARD A LOT. WE'VE TAKEN A LOT OF PUBLIC AND STAKEHOLDER INPUT SO WE'VE GOTTEN A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHEN IT COMES TO PARK IMPROVEMENTS OR RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.

THIRD, IF YOU MIGHT RECALL THE FIRST TIME WE MET WE ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH A SERIES OF QUESTIONS WITH YOU ABOUT THE GOAL STATEMENTS AND ARE ALREADY IN THE 2012 PARKS AND

[00:15:05]

ALL EVENT INFORMATION PLUS THE EXPERIENCE WE HAVE IN PREPARING PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLANS IS LENT ITSELF TO HELP US DRAFT THOSE INITIAL VISION STATEMENTS AND GOAL STATEMENTS.

SO, ONCE AGAIN THIS IS AN INTRODUCTION. AFTER TONIGHT'S MEETING HER BUT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO HOME WITH THIS INFORMATION AND REALLY TAKE IT IN AND THINK ABOUT IT AND BE ABLE TO GET US SOME INITIAL FEEDBACK. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THE SLIDE WHEN IT COMES TO A POTENTIAL VISION STATEMENT FOR YOUR PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN. THINK THE BEST WAY TO HELP YOU THROUGH THAT IS TO BREAK IT DOWN INTO 3 PARTS. FOREMOST YOUR VISION STATEMENT IS ABOUT PARKS BEING ABLE TO PROMOTE HEALTH, WELL-BEING AND STRONG COMMUNITY IDENTITY THROUGH VICTORIA.

AND HOW YOU WOULD DO THAT IS PROVIDING PARKS SPACES, PARK FACILITIES OR RECREATION FACILITIES AND RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS. AND ULTIMATELY THOSE PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, A VARIETY OF INTERESTS VIA RECREATIONAL INTERESTS, FITNESS, CULTURAL INTERESTS, NATURAL OR EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES.

IT'S A LOT TO THINK ABOUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT IN THOSE 3 PARTS MAKES SENSE AS TO WHY THE VISION STATEMENT OR VISION STATEMENT IP THAT WAY. WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT ABOUT A VISION STATEMENT IS SOMETIMES PEOPLE SAY WELL, I WANTED TO HAVE THIS ALSO AND I WANT TO SAY THIS AND I WANTED TO SAY ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS.

WELL, THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY WE HAVE THE GOAL STATEMENTS. YOU CAN LOOK AT THE GOAL STATEMENTS AS AN EXTENSION OF THE OVERALL VISION STATEMENT FOR YOUR PARKS AND RECREATION SYSTEM OR FOR WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY DEVELOPING A MASTER PLAN FOR SO, WE'VE PROPOSED FOR R ALS. AS I INDICATED WHOLE STATEMENTS CAN ACTUALLY SERVE AS AN EXTENSION OF YOUR OVERALL VISION STATEMENT. THE FOREGOING STATEMENTS WE'VE PROPOSED ARE INITIALLY DRAFTED ACTUALLY ARE DRAFTED BECAUSE WE CAN MAKE SURE YOUR PLAN AND THE GOALS IN YOUR PLANNER ADDRESSING ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT PARKS AND RECREATION SYSTEM IS MEANT TO ACHIEVE AND MEANT TO ADDRESS. FIRST AND FOREMOST IS A GOAL PROPOSED THAT WOULD DEAL WITH PARKS SYSTEM GROWTH AND ACCESSIBILITY.

AS YOUR POPULATION GROWS HOW IS YOUR PARK SYSTEM TO GROW? ARE YOU CAN HAVE MORE ACREAGE? WE CAN HAVE MORE FACILITIES? ARE YOU TO MAKE THE PARK SPACES YOU HAVE IN VICTORIA TODAY MORE ACCESSIBLE TO A GREAT AMOUNT OF POPULATION? THEN THERE'S A GOAL THAT TALKS ABOUT PARKS SYSTEM INVESTMENTS AND IMPROVEMENTS. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO INVEST AND IMPROVE THE PARK SYSTEM SENSE THAT YOU HAVE ON THE GROUND TODAY? III GOAL IS ABOUT COMMUNITY PROGRAMS AND EVENTS WHICH I THINK IS ACTUALLY THAT TOPIC IS PRETTY SELF-EXPLANATORY IN PROVIDING THE TYPES OF RECREATIONAL PROGRAMMING AND EVENTS THAT PEOPLE IN VICTORIA WANT TO SEE AND HOW THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT AND HOW THE CITY CAN BE AN AGENT FOR PROVIDING THAT INFORMATION. THEN ON THE 4TH GOAL WHICH WE CALL RECREATIONAL SERVICE DELIVERY WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW DOES THE CITY PROVIDE PUBLIC RECREATIONAL SERVICES. TYPICALLY THE 4TH GOAL IS ABOUT ADMINISTRATION, IS ABOUT OPERATIONS AND IS ABOUT HOW THE CITY MAINTAINS ITS PARK SYSTEM. LOOKING A LITTLE BIT DEEPER INTO A GOAL STATEMENT FOR PARK SYSTEM GROWTH AND ACCESSIBILITY.

THAT FIRST GOAL STATEMENT TALKS ABOUT ENSURING THAT EQUITABLE ACCESS TO YOUR PARK PROPERTIES AND RECREATIONAL AMENITIES IS PROVIDED. AND SO, ACTUALLY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDES WHEN YOU HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT THESE AT HOME YOU WILL SEE THE INTENT IS THAT THIS GOAL STATEMENT WOULD ADDRESS ALL OF THE TOPICS WE LISTED AT THE BOTTOM.

THE GOAL STATEMENT WILL INCLUDE A COMPANY STRATEGY AND ACTIONS THAT WOULD ADDRESS HOW YOU ACQUIRE PARK LAND. HOW YOU WOULD ASSURE PARK THAT IS DISTRIBUTED EQUITABLY AROUND YOUR COMMUNITY. HOW YOU MIGHT GO ABOUT BUILDING AN INTERCONNECTED NETWORK OF TRAILS, SO ON AND SO FORTH. WHEN IT COMES TO PARK SYSTEM INVESTMENTS AND IMPROVEMENTS.

THE INTENT OF THE GOAL IS TO ENSURE THE LONGEVITY OF YOUR PARK SYSTEM ASSETS.

TO MAKE SURE WHATEVER YOU'RE BUILDING AND INVESTING IN IS GOING TO STAND THE TEST OF

[00:20:01]

THAT PROMOTES AND SERVES THE WELL-BEING. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT EVENTS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS RALLYING POINT FOR YOUR COMMUNITY AND PROMOTES PUBLIC PRIDE AS WELL. THEN WE TALK ABOUT RECREATIONAL SERVICE DELIVERY THE GOAL STATEMENT ESSENTIALLY SAYING LOOK, AS A COMMUNITY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WERE PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY RECREATION SERVICES BUT WERE DOING IT AS EFFICIENT MANNER AS WE CAN.

I'M GOING TO GO BACK A LITTLE BIT. THIS IS A LOT TO TAKE IN.

AS I SAID A COUPLE TIMES NOW. OUR INTENT IS TO INTRODUCE TO YOU TO THIS INFORMATION.

CERTAINLY THE INTENT ALSO IS TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE MORE TIME TO LOOK THROUGH IT, ASK QUESTIONS, LOOK OVER TH MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH ASKING HIS OPINION OF WHAT HE THANKS ABOUT THESE THINGS. ULTIMATELY THEN TRY TO SUBMIT YOUR COMMENTS AND PERHAPS IN WRITING TO JASON SO HE CAN COLLECT ALL THOSE THINGS, GET THAT INFORMATION BACK TO US AND WE CAN LOOK BACK THROUGH THIS PROVISIONAL STATEMENT AND GOAL STATEMENTS AND SEE HOW WE MIGHT REFINE IT TO BETTER REFLECT A VISION STATEMENT AND SET OF GOALS THAT YOU THINK FLEX YOUR COMMUNITY THROUGH YOUR EYES AS REPRESENTATIVES OF YOUR COMMUNITY.

BEFORE WE GO ON TO THE NEXT PART OF THE PROGRAM I DID WANT TO JUST GO AHEAD AND OFFER UP WHETHER OR NOT THERE WERE ANY QUESTIONS OR YOU HAD ANY INITIAL COMMENTS OR FEEDBACK ON THE MATERIAL OR THE INFORMATION WE ARE PROVIDING GREAT COOKS JUST REALLY QUICKLY, WE WILL SEND THIS POWERPOINT OUT TO THE COMMISSION LATER ON TONIGHT SO YOU WILL HAVE THIS.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HURRY AND WRITE DOWN ALL THOSE GOALS. PROXIMATE CERTAINLY IF THERE'S ANY GUT REACTIONS, ANY THOUGHTS AND WERE HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN THAT RIGHT NOW.

>> ANY INITIAL THOUGHTS WERE MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION? I THINK WERE GOOD OOD CHRISTIAN. ALL QUICKLY HEADED HERE GROW QUICK.

MY APOLOGIES. I'M SURE THERE'S AN EASIER WAY TO DO THIS.

RESEARCHING MY TECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITIES RIGHT NOW. ALL RIGHT.

I WANTED TO TALK TO KNOW ABOUT SOME PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SYSTEMWIDE MASTER PLAN. I WILL TELL YOU THIS COULD BE A FEW SLIDES THAT WE HAVE GONE IN THIS PART OF THE PRESENTATION THAT YOU MAY RECALL FROM THE JOINT WORKSHOP WITH THE CITY COUNCIL BUT WE'VE EXPANDED UPON THE INFORMATION SINCE THAT TIME.

FIRST AND FOREMOST WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN. WE, IN OUR BUSINESS ARE ALWAYS CONSIDERING WHAT WE CALL WILL BE REFERRED TO AS LEVEL OF SERVICE. WHEN WERE THINKING ABOUT THE COMMUNITIES PARKLAND, OR THINKING ABOUT YOUR RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AND TO INTEGRATE YOUR ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS ARE ALWAYS THINKING AS PLANNERS IN TERMS OF LEVEL OF SERVICE. ARE YOU PROVIDING THE LEVEL OF SERVICE IN THESE ASPECTS OF RECREATION THAT MEETS COMMUNITIES EXPECTATIONS? SO FIRST AND FOREMOST WE DO A DEMAND-BASED ASSESSMENT. HAT'S THE SURVEYS AND THE PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES OF THE STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS THAT WE'VE HAD EVEN THE PARTNER AT MEETINGS WE'VE HAD WITH YOU TO GET A SENSE OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS WHETHER OR NOT THEY THINK THAT THE CITY GOVERNMENT OR OTHER ENTITIES IN VICTORIA ARE SUFFICIENTLY PROVIDING THAT.

WITHIN ALSO USE OUR BACKGROUND OR EXPERTISE TO LOOK AT WHAT WE CALL ACCESS-BASED ASSESSMENT.

O HAVE ANOTHER PARKLAND? DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH RECREATIONAL FACILITIES TO MEET YOUR COMMUNITY'S NEEDS? IF YOU DO, REGARDLESS OF IF YOU DO IS ALL THAT TRULY ACCESSIBLE TO MEMBERS OF YOUR COMMUNITY? WE THINK ABOUT RESOURCE-BASED ASSESSMENT AND THE PICTURE ON THE SLIDE IS THE BEST WAY TO REPRESENT WHAT WERE TALKING ABOUT RESOURCE-BASED ASSESSMENT. PARTICULARLY NOLOGY WITH SPECIAL NATURAL OR MAN-MADE RESOURCES DOES THIS COMMUNITY HAVE THAT YOU CAN REALLY LEVERAGE AS THE CORNERSTONE OF YOUR PARKS AND RECREATION SYSTEM. WE ALSO DO A CONDITIONS-BASED ASSESSMENT. NOT ALWAYS.N THE CASE OF VICTORIA'S PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN WE BEEN ASKED TO, WE DO A CONDITIONS-BASED ASSESSMENT WHICH SAYS OKAY WE GONNA GO AROUND EVERY ONE OF YOUR PROPERTIES AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE CONDITIONS AND BASED ON

[00:25:02]

IT'S MEANT TO BE A BENCHMARK AND IT'S ALWAYS JUST ASPIRATIONAL.

IT'S ALWAYS ADVISORY. WHAT WE HAVE OBSERVED IN INTRODUCE BOTH YOUR BODY AND THE CITY COUNCIL OF THIS SLIDE PREVIOUSLY IS BASED ON THE TARGET LEVELS OF SERVICE FOR PARKLAND THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN YORK 2012 MASTER PLAN. WHAT WE OBSERVED CIRCLING AT THE VERY BOTTOM HERE WAS THAT BASED ON YOUR RECOMMENDED SERVICE STANDARDS IN 2012 BY 2020 HE RESPONDS TO HAVE AT LEAST 535 ACRES OF PARKLAND. WHAT WE FOUND IS THAT ACTUALLY IN 2020 YOU HAVE OVER 848 ACRES OF PARKLAND OR A 308 ACRE SURPLUS SO TO SPEAK.

WHEN IT COMES TO TRYING TO MEET YOUR 2012 TARGETS FOR PARKLAND ACREAGE THE CITY OF VICTORIA FORMS ¦ CIRCLE GOT UP THERE BY ACREAGE OF REGIONAL PARK ACREAGE.

CIRCLE THE 565 OF THE 848 ACRES IS ALL IN ONE SINGLE REGIONAL PARK.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT PART THAT IS. IT'S RIVERSIDE PARK. ALTHOUGH AS A WHOLE THE CITY OF VICTORIA SCORES VERY WELL WHEN IT COMES TO THE AMOUNT OF PARKLAND ACREAGE YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO HAVE A 2012 COMPARED TO WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY. WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE ARE STILL POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS. MOST OF ITS LOCKED UP IN RIVERSIDE PARK.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT OTHER METRICS LIKE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS WILL SEE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK CATEGORY THERE IS ACTUALLY A SMALL DEFICIT IN PARK LAND ACREAGE.

IN ADDITION TO THAT THOUGH, IN ADDITION TO RAW ACREAGE WE THINK IN TERMS OF, IS NOT PARKLAND ACCESSIBLE? THIS MAP BASICALLY SHOWS A QUARTER-MILE IN THE HOUSE WHILE BUFFER AROUND EVERY ONE OF THE PARTS OF VICTORIA. THOSE BUFFERS ARE NOT RADIO BUFFERS. WHAT WE DO IS WAIT FLIP THOSE BUFFERS WHEN APART, LET'S SAY RAILROAD TRACKS OR DRAINAGE CHANNEL OR EVEN A HIGHWAY. WHEN IT COMES TO ESTABLISHING WHAT A SUITABLE WALL SHED IS FROM A PARK AT 1/4 MILE OR HALF MILE, A LOT OF TIMES THERE ARE PHYSICAL BARRIERS THAT REALLY KIND OF CUT THAT AUCTION OFF AND MAKE SOME OF THE AREAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT BARRIER TRULY INACCESSIBLE TO YOUR PARKS.

WE CONSIDER THE AMOUNT OF RESIDENTIAL LAND THAT'S 1 1/4 MILE, ONE OPTION OF A PARK OR HALF MILE WALK SHED OF THE PARK YOU SEE ONLY ABOUT 12 PERCENT OF ALL RESIDENTIAL AREAS HAVE A PARK WITHIN 1/4 MILE OR A 5-MINUTE WALK IN THE PARK OR ANY 19 PERCENT WITHIN AND A HALF MILE OR 10 MINUTE WALK OF THE PARK. IN THAT REGARD WHEN YOU LOOK AT PARKS COMPARED TO WHERE PEOPLE LIVED. THERE ARE LARGE AREAS IN THE CITY OF VICTORIA WHERE THERE'S NOT REALLY CONVENIENT ACCESS TO A PARK.

ALTHOUGH A LOT OF US ARE ABLE-BODIED AND WE CAN DRIVE A CAR TO GET THERE.

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT CAN'T RELY ON IT BY THIS TRANSPORTATION TO DRIVE TO A PARK THAT MIGHT BE A COUPLE MILES AWAY. WE ALWAYS THINK OF WHETHER OR NOT THE COMMUNITY IS PROVIDING SUFFICIENT PARKLAND IN TERMS OF IS A CLOSE BY TOUR PEOPLE LIVED? PARTS OF THE INITIAL RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WOULD ATTEND TO MAKE IN YOUR PARKLAND IS WHEN IT COMES TO ACREAGE TARGETS AT THE 2012 TARGET ACREAGE, SERVICE STANDARDS YOU ONLY HAVE THAT THOUGH SHOULD MOVE FORWARD AND THEY DON'T NECESSARILY NEED TO CHANGE. THEY ARE STILL GOOD TARGETS MOVING FORWARD AND TRYING TO

[00:30:06]

IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE 10 5-ACRE PARKS 50 ONE A POCKET PARKS.

ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'VE GOT A LOT MORE TO MAINTAIN. WE PUT A LOT OF DIFFERENT PLACES ANY OF MUCH SMALLER PARKS THAT CAN'T ALWAYS SUPPORT A LEVEL OF RECREATION THAT YOU NECESSARILY ARE TRYING TO PROVIDE FOR MEMBERS OF YOUR COMMUNITY.

ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATION WE WOULD ALSO MAKE IN THIS PLAN IS THAT THE CITY SHOULD ESTABLISH A PROCESS A PARKLAND DEDICATION ORDINANCE FOR PARKLAND DEDICATION PARKLANDS.

AS YOUR COMMUNITY GROWS AND AS NEW SUBDIVISIONS ARE BUILT THAT AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS JUST LIKE THEY WOULD WITH ROADS, WATER, SEWER, OTHER PUBLIC FACILITIES OF THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY BUT ALSO HELP TO ASSIST IN EITHER DEDICATING PARKLAND AND/OR BUILDING NEW PARKS AND BEING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PARKS TO SERVE YOUR EXPANDING POPULATION. WE ALSO OBSERVED JUST LIKE WITH PARKS THAT ONLY ABOUT 5 PERCENT OF ALL YOUR RESIDENTIAL AREAS ARE WITHIN A TRAIL. WITHIN 1/4 MILE WALK SHED OF AN EXISTING TRAIL. THIS PLAN WOULD RECOMMEND AN EXTENDED PLAN, GREENWELL AND TRAIL NETWORK OF OVER 51 MILES OF TRAIL. THIS RECOMMENDATION IS ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT IS ALREADY RECOMMENDED OR PLANNED FOR IN THE VICTORIA MASTER PLAN.

THE INTENT IS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO TRY TO INCREASE RESIDENTIAL ACCESS TO AN EXPANDED MORE INTERCONNECTED TRAILS NETWORK. THE CAVEAT TO THAT IS EVEN THOUGH THIS MAP DOESN'T NECESSARILY SHOW A LOT OF CONNECTED ÃLINES JUST UNDER THE CITY. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE WERE NOT SAYING YOU SHOULDN'T BUILD TRAILS. WHAT WERE ARE SEEN AS A TRAIL MIGHT NOT BE THE RIGHT TYPE OF FACILITY TO CONNECT A LOT OF YOUR CENTER CITY NEIGHBORHOODS DEPENDING ON THE GEOMETRY OF THE ROADWAY NETWORK RATHER THAN BUILDING A TRAIL MAY BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO BUILD SIDEWALKS AND BICYCLE LANES AND OTHER FACILITIES. NONETHELESS, FOR FIRST AND FOREMOST FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES. THIS PLAN DOES RECOMMEND AN EXTENSION OF THE PLANNED MULTIUSE GREENWAY TRAIL NETWORK.

ALSO AS PART OF THE LAND TO BUILD A PROCESS IF THE CITY WERE TO ADOPT A PARKLAND IDENTIFICATION PROCESS THAT PARKLAND DEDICATION ORDINANCE SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE STANDARDS THAT WOULD ALLOW THE CITY TO REQUIRE THE PRESERVATION OF THE TRAIL CORRIDOR IF A NEW DEVELOPMENT IS BEING PREPARED WHERE A PROPOSED TRAIL CORRIDOR IS ALIGNED.

FINALLY, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN.

MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE THAT THE CITY SHOULD IN THE FUTURE PREPARE A FULL ACT OF TRANSPORTATION PLAN THAT ONLY CONSIDERS TRAILS BUT IT ALSO CONSIDERS SIDEWALKS WHERE THOSE ARE APPROPRIATE. IT CONSIDERS BIKE LANES. WHETHER THEY BEAT REGULAR STRIPED BIPLANES ARE PHYSICALLY SEPARATED BIKE LANES FROM THE ROAD.

IT CONSIDERS ALL TYPES OF FACILITIES TO SERVE ENHANCED PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE MOBILITY AROUND YOUR COMMUNITY. REAL QUICK, BEFORE I GO ON I WANTED TO JUST PAUSE TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OR THE PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING PARKLANDS OR REGARDING TRAILS?

>>. >> QUESTION I HAD ONE QUICK QUESTION.

OR ASK , COULD YOU SHED LITTLE BIT MORE LIGHT ON THE CONCEPT OR THE DEA OF THESE POCKET PARKS. WHAT WE MEAN BY THAT AND WHAT THAT ISSUE WAS A LITTLE BIT?

>> A COUPLE ISSUE, A POCKET PARK THAT WE DEFINED THIS IN CHAPTER 2 OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN. BASICALLY A POCKET PARK IS A MINI PARK.

[00:35:06]

FIRST AND FOREMOST IT ALREADY SUGGESTED THIS. A LOT OF TIMES POCKET PARKS ARE SO SMALL THAT THEY REALLY CAN'T MEET AN ACTIVE RECREATION NEED. OR SO SMALL OFTEN TIMES YOU CAN'T GET SPORT COURTS. YOU CAN'T GET OPEN PLAY AREAS IN.

SOMETIMES YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR A SINGLE PLAY STRUCTURE.

SO BECAUSE OF THAT IT'S HARD TO MAKE THAT PARK AND ACTIVE SPACE.

AND IT'S HARD TO MAKE THAT PARK SOMEPLACE THAT PEOPLE WANT TO GO TO.

START QUESTIONING WHY WE MAINTAINING ALL OF THESE LITTLE SPACES.

THE OTHER ISSUE WITH POCKET PARKS IS PARTICULARLY WITH COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE PARKLAND DEDICATION ORDINANCES THAT REQUIRE DEVELOPERS DEDICATE PARKLAND.

IF THOSE ORDINANCES AREN'T WELL WRITTEN IN THE PAST WE'VE SEEN WITH THE DEVELOPERS RATHER THAN GIVING THE COMMUNITY LET'S SAY 3 OR 5 ACRE PARCEL CENTRALLY LOCATED IN THE DEVELOPMENT SO THAT IT COULD REALLY BE USED BY ALL RESIDENCES FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES.

THEY MAY SAY YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE GOT A LITTLE SLIVER OF LAND OVER HERE THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH. I'VE GOT A SMALL PIECE OF HERE. AND A SMALL PIECE OVER THERE.

COLLECTIVELY THAT WE TEAR PARKLAND ACREAGE REQUIREMENTS. CITIES ARE LEFT WITHOUT SAYING I'M LEFT WITH SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T REALLY SERVE MUCH OF A PUBLIC PURCHASE.

WE TALK ABOUT POCKET PARKS IF YOU ACCEPT THEM NEEDED TO MEET SPECIFIC CRITERIA.

THAT'S WHAT WERE TRYING TO AVOID. >> PLUS YOU'VE GOT TO MAINTAIN IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT YOU CAN MAINTAIN 3 DIFFERENT LITTLE PIECES OF LAND AS PART OF THE PARK SYSTEM AND NOT REALLY DOING ANYBODY ANY GOOD. WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS THE PLANT CONTAINING SOME PERFORMANCE CRITERIA SO THAT WE WOULD TAKE ON POCKET PARKS ONLY

WHEN THEY FULFILL SOME FUNCTION RIGHT? >> WHEN THEY FULFILL A SPECIFIC FUNCTION. I'M GLAD YOU'RE ASKING. I WOULD GIVE YOU 3 EXAMPLES.

FIRST I GO BACK TO THAT IDEA OF OH, WELL MAYBE THERE IS A SMALL PIECE OF LAND THAT HAS SOME HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE. AND YOU WANT TO BUILD A MONUMENT OR MEMORIAL ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY OR PRESERVE HISTORICAL CULTURAL RESOURCE. THAT'S ONE PERFECTLY GOOD REASON WHY A COMMUNITY MIGHT WANT TO APPROVE A PARK APART. ANOTHER EXAMPLE WOULD BE THERE'S A LOT OF COMMUNITIES THAT ARE BUILDING WHAT WE CALL NEW URBANIST DEVELOPMENT.

THEY BUILDING NEW URBANIZED MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENTS IN DOWNTOWN AREAS ARE THE PARTS OF THEIR COMMUNITY. OFTEN TIMES THOSE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE ARE VERY INTENSE DEVELOPMENTS ARE VERY WELL SERVED BY A MORE, SMALLER MORE HARDSCAPE TYPE OF PLAZA OR GREEN THAT CENTRALLY LOCATED WITHIN THIS AND OFTEN TIMES THEY ARE JUST THERE FOR SOME LANDSCAPING, FOR REST AND RELAXATION AND THEY DON'T REALLY SERVE THAT ACTIVE

TRANSPORTATION PURPOSE. THERE ARE MORE PUBLIC GATHERING SPACES.>> OH, MAYBE IT MIGHT BE UNDESIRABLE BECAUSE IT'S ON THE BACK OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOBODY EVER GOES TO THE BACK OF THE GHBORHOOD. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT BECOMES DESIRABLE BECAUSE GUESS WHAT, WORKING TO BUILD A TRAIL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOW THAT SMALL PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT MIGHT NOT OTHERWISE HAVE GOTTEN ANY USE CAN BE USED AS A TRAILHEAD INTO THE BROADER TRAIL SYSTEM AND NETWORK. THOSE ARE 3 EXAMPLES OF PERFORMANCE CRITERIA THAT A COMMUNITY MIGHT APPLY TO SUBSTANTIATE ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS THEY WANT TO ALLOW FOR A NEW POCKET PARK. AND EXCEPT THE DEDICATION ABOUT PARK TO THEIR SYSTEM.

>> GOOD, THANK YOU. >> YEAH. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR

QUESTIONS? >> OF A QUESTION. CAN YOU GO BACK A SLIDE TO THE OTHER, THERE YOU GO. WITH REGARDS TO THE RECOMMENDATION TO ESTABLISH AND A HALF MILE WALK SHED TARGET. I THANK YOU SAID FOR ALL RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

>> YEAH, THE INTENT WOULD BE AGAIN, THAT'S A KEY MEASURE OF ESTABLISHING A TARGET.

THAT THE INTENT WOULD BE YES, THAT ALL RESIDENTIAL AREAS, THE TARGET IS ALL RESIDENTIAL AREAS WOULD BE ULTIMATELY WITHIN A HALF-MILE 10 MINUTE WALK SHED OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK.

[00:40:05]

IF IT'S A TARGET THAT YOU WORK TOWARD, THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE PLAN IS TRYING TO PROMOTE.

>> SO, IT WOULD LEND ITSELF TO ASPIRATIONAL? >> WHAT SENTINEL?

>> IT WOULD LEND ITSELF TO ASPIRATIONAL. I WOULD WONDER HOW YOU WOULD RETROFIT ABOUT MAYBE GETTING TO DATE. I'M WONDERING LIKE WHERE WE NOW

WITH REGARDS TO THAT 10 MINUTE WALK FROM? >> RIGHT THERE.

19 PERCENT OF ALL RESIDENTIAL AREAS ARE WITHIN THAT HALF MILE OR 10 MINUTE WALK.

>> THAT'S A BIG ASK. >> IDEALLY, YES. UNDER THAT TARGET LEVEL OF SERVICE, IF THIS PLAN ESTABLISHES THAT IDEALLY 100 PERCENT OF RESIDENTIAL AREAS WILL ULTIMATELY BE WITHIN A HALF-MILE OF A PARK OVER TIME. OUR MEASURE OF SUCCESS WOULD BE IF YOU CAME BACK 10 YEARS FROM NOW AND ARE ABLE SAY GUESS WHAT, 30 PERCENT OR 35 PERCENT OF ALL OF OUR RESIDENTIAL AREAS ARE WITHIN A HALF-MILE OF THE PARK.

THAT WOULD SIMPLY ILLUSTRATE THE VICTORIA HAS TAKEN STEPS TO TRY TO WORK TOWARD ACHIEVING

THAT GOAL OVER TIME. >> I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THE RECOMMENDATION I'M JUST WONDERING HOW ACHIEVABLE IT IS AND WHERE DOES THAT STANDARD COME FROM? IS THAT A NATIONAL STANDARD WITH REGARDS TO PARKS AND BRICKS PLANNING? SHOULD WEIGHT BE AT 50 PERCENT BASED UPON POPULATION? NO WE DON'T HAVE TO GET THERE TODAY. IT'S A REALLY BIG ASK TO GO TO HUNDRED PERCENT.

>> SURE. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY THANKS THAT MOST COMMUNITIES WILL REACH THAT HUNDRED PERCENT GOAL OVER A TEN-YEAR PERIOD OR A 10 YEAR HORIZON OF A PLAN LIKE THIS. ONCE AGAIN, LIKE YOU SAID IT'S ASPIRATIONAL.

IT GIVES A COMMUNITY DIRECTION. IN RESPONSE TO THAT, THAT INITIAL QUESTION.

THE 5 MINUTE OR QUARTER MILE, THE QUARTER MILE WALK SHED OR 5 MINUTE WALK SHED AND HALF-MILE OR 10 MINUTE WALK SHED ARE COMMON MEASURES IN THE PRINCIPLES OF NEW URBANISM THAT TALK ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD UNIT AND WHETHER SOMETHING IS ACCESSIBLE VIA A REASONABLE WALK OR A DISTANCE THAT PEOPLE WOULD REASONABLY EXPECT THAT THEY WOULD WANT TO WALK.

BEYOND THAT AND BEYOND THAT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT EXCEEDS WHAT'S COMMONLY UNDERSTOOD TO BE A TYPICAL NEIGHBORHOOD WALK SHED. REGARDING ONE HALF MILE THOUGH OR 10 MINUTE WALK SHED ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT ACTUALLY THE TRUST IN PUBLIC LAND USES THAT

ONE HALF MILE OR 10 MINUTE WALK SHED AS A PERFORMANCE METRIC ON THEIR WEBSITE.>> SO METRIC THAT'S IS 19 PERCENT LOW WITH REGARDS TO CITIES ACROSS THE NATION OF OUR SIZE? IS IT SUPERLOW? WHERE DOES IT FALL THE SKILL OF? IS IT HIGH THOUGH, MEDIUM? ARE WE GROSSLY UNDER. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

>> I DON'T HAVE THE NATIONAL COMPARISON ON THAT. I COULD JUST TELL YOU THAT SOME COMMUNITIES THAT WE WORKED WITH HERE IN TEXAS, WE ALSO WORK WITH TEXAS COMMUNITIES.

SOME ARE UNDER IN SUMMER WE OVER. IT'S ALL ACROSS THE BOARD.

>> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS? >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> I THINK THAT'S IT CHRISTIAN. LOOKS OKAY. I'M GOOD AT ING TO GET THROUGH THESE SIGNS RAPIDLY SO WE CAN GET INTO THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS.

REGARDING RECREATIONAL FACILITIES. YOU WILL HAVE THE SLIDE SO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO EXAMINE IT IN MORE DETAIL FROM THIS PRESENTATION.

THIS TABLE IS A TABLE WERE ULTIMATELY BEING IN THE PLAN DOCUMENT.

IT COMPARES THE NUMBER OF FACILITIES OR COMMENT RECREATIONAL FACILITIES THAT YOU MIGHT EXPECT TO SEE THE MOST COMMUNITIES. IN COMPARISON, A NUMBER OF FACILITIES THAT THE CITY OF VICTORIA PROVIDES COMPARISON TO ITS OVERALL POPULATION.

THEN IT COMPARES THE 2 OTHER COMMUNITIES FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT PARTICIPATE IN A NATIONAL RECREATION AND PARKS ASSOCIATION PARK METRIC DATABASE.

HOW MUCH IS VICTORIA PROVIDING IN COMPARISON TO ITS POPULATION? AND THEN HOW IS VICTORIA PERFORMING COMPARED TO A NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR ALL AGENCIES THAT HAVE RECORDED AND RPA. THEN A NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR ALL

[00:45:01]

WHAT WE FOUND WHEN IT COMES TO THESE COMMON TYPES OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES IS THAT VICTORIA PERFORMS PRETTY WELL IN MOST CATEGORIES. REALLY WHERE THE CITY'S GREATEST DEFICITS ARE. IF THE CITY ULTIMATELY VALUES ADDING TO THESE TYPES OF FACILITIES. WHEN I'M ASSUMING THAT THE CITY DOES.

FOR THE DEFICIT IS JUST LOOKING AT THESE METRICS WOULD BE IN THE NUMBER OF MULTIPURPOSE DEALS AND ARE MET OFFERED IN VICTORIA.ENNIS COURTS, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IN THE AMOUNT OF INDOOR RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES AND THE ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR THINGS I KNOW WE'VE HEARD A LOT

OF IT VICTORIA IS DON PARKS. >> THAT'S THE FIRST TIME OR THAT CHRISTIAN.

>> WHAT'S UP? >> ABOUT THE FIRST TIME WE HEARD THAT.

>> I'M SURE YOU NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE. [LAUGHTER].

>> HOW ABOUT ALLIANCE WITH WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC THROUGH THE SURVEY PROCESS. YOU KNOW, SURE ONCE AGAIN EVEN THOUGH WE DIDN'T HAVE DOG PARK ON HER LIST, SHAME ON US. WE OBVIOUSLY SHOULD HAVE. START TALK IN THE COMMENT SECTION THE TERM DOG PARK WAS WRITTEN MORE THAN ANY OTHER TYPE OF FACILITY AS FAR AS SURVEY RESPONSES GOAL. BUT ALSO WE FOUND THAT WHEN IT CAME TO FACILITIES THAT PEOPLE REALLY VALUED AND FELT VICTORIA NEEDED TO DO A MUCH BETTER JOB ON IT WASN'T NECESSARILY A LOT OF THE RECREATIONAL FACILITIES. IT WAS ACTUALLY A LOT OF THE ACCESSORY FACILITIES.

SO FACILITIES OR TO HELP IMPROVE SAFETY AND SECURITY. IMPROVEMENTS TO THE RESTROOMS. YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT RESTROOMS VERY MUCH. AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

IT'S ALL ACROSS THE BOARD. ULTIMATELY WHAT WE'RE FINDING IS I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS. THIS IS NOT AN ALL-INCLUSIVE LIST ON THE SLIDE.

IT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE. IT'S JUST A TASTE OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE THINK ARE WORTH MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS ON IN THE PLAN. FIRST AND FOREMOST ON RECREATIONAL FACILITIES EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE A LOT OF BASEBALL FIELDS, SOCCER FIELDS THAT THERE IS ROOM FOR FIELD IMPROVEMENTS IN CERTAIN AREAS. JUST LIKE WE SHOWED THE FIELDS HERE IN CREEK PARK. WE DO KNOW IF HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR THAT PERHAPS THERE SHOULD BE ONE OR MORE DOG PARKS IN VICTORIA. WE HAVE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR IN ADDITION TO VICTORIA'S PERFORMANCE ON INDOOR PREPARATIONS AND SPACE IT'S BEEN AFFIRMED TO US TO THE PUBLIC AND STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH THAT IS A VERY IMPORTANT TO MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ACCESSORY FACILITIES WE HAVE LISTED JUST A TASTE OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FACILITIES THAT PEOPLE VICTORIA ARE SAYING WE NEED MORE OF. WE WANT MORE OF OR WE WANT

IMPROVEMENTS MADE. >> A CHRISTIAN I BELIEVE WE HAD A QUICK QUESTION FROM A

COMMISSIONER. >> YES? >> CHRISTIAN, ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE YOU FOUND THAT WE HAD ONE MULTIPURPOSE OR ACTUALLY GO BACK ONE MORE.

WAS A MULTIPURPOSE FIELD. WHAT IS OUR ONE MULTIPURPOSE FIELD?

WHAT IS CONSIDERED? >> PUTTING ON ME ON THE SPOT. WE HAVE MAPPED.

I DON'T RECALL OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD FOR MULTIPURPOSE FIELDS LOCATED.

>> BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS TRUSTED? >> I'M TRYING TO THINK.

YOU COULD CALL THE MULTIPURPOSE I GUESS THE COMMUNITY CENTER. >> THE PAVILION OUT THERE.

>> THAT WOULD BE THE PERSON ON THE COMES TO MIND. >> OKAY.

>> AND NOT ALSO MIGHT BE WHEN IT COMES TO JASON AND STAFF REVIEWING THE INITIAL DRAFT IN CHAPTER 3. AS I SAID WE DO HAVE ALL THOSE MAPS AND LOCATIONS. JASON, KIMBERLY AND COMPANY THEY MAY TAKE EXCEPTION AND LIST SOME OF THOSE AND EVEN THOUGH WE PULLED THEM FROM THE CITY'S INVENTORY. SOME OF THE NUMBERS THAT WERE SHOWING HERE MIGHT ADJUST SLIGHTLY. JUST ONE MORE SLIDE HERE ON SOME GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS.

IRST AND FOREMOST THE PLAN WILL INCLUDE NARROWING THE ALLUDED TO THIS BUT THE PLAN WILL INCLUDE A LIST OF GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND GENERAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE PARK PROPERTIES. WHEN IT COMES TO RECREATIONAL PROGRAMMING. PRIOR TO JUST DIVING IN TO AN EXPANDED SUITE OF NEW CITIES SPONSORED OR FACILITATED RECREATIONAL PROGRAM. THE PLAN WILL RECOMMEND SOME

[00:50:01]

ALSO IN AGE SEGMENT ANALYSIS TO LOOK AT AND CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT NEW PROGRAMMING SHOULD FOCUS ON SPECIFIC AGE GROUPS THAT AREN'T SPECIFICALLY BEING PROVIDED FOR TODAY.

BUT, IN ALL CASES WHEN IT COMES TO RECREATIONAL PROGRAMMING RECOMMENDATIONS WE WERE MAKING WHAT IT NECESSARILY BE THAT THE CITY OF VICTORIA THE ENTITY OF PROVIDING NEW RECREATIONAL PROGRAMMING. IT MAY BE A MATTER OF THE CITY OF VICTORIA WORKING WITH OTHER ENTITIES TO HELP EXPAND THE OVERALL SUITE OF RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS. WITH ATHLETIC AND NONATHLETIC THAT ARE AVAILABLE. WHEN IT COMES TO STAFFING BASED ON THE SAFETY AND SECURITY CONCERNS THAT WE'VE HEARD CONSISTENTLY.

THROUGHOUT THE MASTER PLANNING PROCESS. THIS PLAN WILL SUPPORT THE RECOMMENDATION OF FUNDING ADDITIONAL PARK RANGERS TO PATROL CITY PARK PROPERTIES WITH A GREATER DEGREE OF REGULARITY. ANOTHER BIG ISSUE WITH THE CITY OF VICTORIA'S PARKS AND RECREATION IS THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT COMES FROM GENERAL FUNDS IS A VERY HIGH PERCRCENTA OF THE OVERALL FUNDING. THAT'S NOT UNUSUAL THE GENERAL FUNDS ACCOUNT FOR THE MAJORITY OF A PUBLIC PARKS AND RECREATION SYSTEM REVENUES.

IT'S JUST THAT COMPARED TO OTHER COMMUNITIES WE WORK WITH VICTORIA IS VERY HIGH.

THIS PLAN WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT TRYING TO DIVERSIFY THE FUNDING SOURCES TO OFFSET SOME OF THE DIRECT CAUSE IN THE DIRECT EXPENSES THAT THE CITY INCURS FOR OPERATING ITS PARKS AND RECREATION SYSTEM. I WILL SAY ONE LAST THING TO SAY ABOUT IT. AS AT THE SURVEY DID ASK PEOPLE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO SPEND MONEY TO RENT THINGS LIKE PICNIC SHELTERS AND PAVILIONS AND WE HAD A VERY HIGH POSITIVE RESPONSE RATE THAT INDICATED PEOPLE WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY ADDITIONAL FEES FOR THE RENTAL OF DIFFERENT FACILITIES. AND THE INTENT ISN'T THAT YOUR PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT BECOME A MONEYMAKER NECESSARILY.

BUT THE INTENT IS THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO DO A LITTLE BIT BETTER JOB TRYING TO OFFSET SOME OF THE DIRECT COST. SO, LET'S BRING IT UP TO SPEED ON SOME OF THE INITIAL THOUGHTS WE HAVE BASED ON THE RESEARCH WE'VE DONE. BASED ON WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM THE COMMUNITY. BEFORE WE GET INTO A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT WE NEED TO OFFER AGAIN TO SEE THERE'S ANY SPECIFIC COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS

ANY MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION HAD THE OVERALL SYSTEM. >> ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING?

>> OKAY. REALLY QUICKLY CHRISTIAN IF YOU DON'T MIND BEFORE YOU JUMP INTO THE CONCEPTS I WANT AGAIN GIVE EVERYBODY FROM A REMINDER THAT THIS IS A VERY HIGH LEVEL LOOK AS FAR AS PART CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS ARE CONCERNED. IF THERE'S AN AREA YOU SEE THAT WE NEED TO MAYBE MOVE THE PAVILION WE COULD DEATHLY TALK ABOUT THAT LATER.

THE IDEA IS TO SAY HEY, THE AMOUNT OF PAVILIONS WE HAVE IS GOOD.

THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT THERE TO EVERYBODY.

WE COULD DEATHLY HAVE THOSE IN MORE DETAIL CONVERSATIONS LATER.

THANK YOU CHRISTIAN. >> THANK YOU JASON. WHILE AARON BRINGS THIS FIRST CONCEPT PLAN. DID WANT TO JUST ADD TO THAT TO A DEGREE. I CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS JUST THAT. IT'S A CONCEPT. THE INTENT IS TO SAY OKAY IN GENERAL IF THIS PARK WERE REDEVELOPED GENERALLY WOULD WE BE MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIKELY TO USE THE PARK. CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN BETWEEN THE TIME I CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS PREPARED IN THE TIME YOU ACTUALLY MAKE PARK IMPROVEMENTS IT CAN CHANGE DRAMATICALLY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT. ULTIMATELY WHEN THESE FINAL CONSUMPTION DEVELOPMENT PLANS ARE INCLUDED IN A FULL PARKS AND RECREATIONAL MASTER PLAN. BUT DOES IT MEAN THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO CONTINUE TO CHANGE OVER TIME AS THEY ARE FINE-TUNED WITH MORE SPECIFIC AND SCHEMATIC DESIGNS AND CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS. WERE NOT NECESSARILY ASKING

[00:55:02]

MASTER PLAN. >> THINK IT CHRISTIAN. HEY GUYS, GOOD TO SEE ALL AGAIN. I'M HAPPY TO BE GETTING THESE CONCEPTS BACK IN FRONT OF YOU ALL WERE EXCITED ABOUT RETURNING OUT. LET'S LOOK AT MLK FIRST.

AND FROM OUR LAST MEETING YOU RECALL WE PRESENTED YOU 2 DIFFERENT CONCEPTS.

ONE OF THEM WAS A LINEAR DESIGN WENT FROM A ONE CORNER ON THE TOP RIGHT TO THE OTHER CORNER OF THE TOP LEFT AND ALL THE ELEMENTS WERE ARRANGED ALONG THAT LINE.

THEN WE PRESENTED TO YOU ALSO A DESIGN SIMILAR TO THIS MORNING. HAVE ELLIPTICAL COURT TO THE PARK. AND WHEN WE ASKED YOU ALL, HEY, WHICH ONE IF YOU HAD TO PICK ONE WHICH ONE WOULD YOU PICK. AND THEN LOOKING AT THE 2 DIFFERENT CONCEPTS AND BETTER FEEDBACK. THIS IS WILL BE PLANTED. WE STARTED WITH THAT THE CONCEPT THAT HAD THEB AND THE PARK FEATURES IN THE CENTER. YOU MAY RECALL PREVIOUSLY THAT WE HAD THE 5, 2 TO 5 YEAR PLAYGROUND, 5 TO 12 YEAR PLAYGROUND SEPARATED.

IT WAS MORE OF A JOINT AMORPHOUS SHAPE AT THIS TIME. SO THERE'S COULD BE A SEPARATED FEATURE ENTIRELY. IT'S MUCH EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE WHOLE THING AT ONE TIME. PLAYGROUND AREA HAS COVERED PICNIC TABLE SPREAD AROUND WHICH YOU WILL SEE THESE WHITE SQUARES. THE X AND THE NUMBER ONE NEXT TO THEM. INSIDE THATB AROUND ALL OF THE COVERED PICNIC TABLES AND THE PLAYGROUND ARE LANDSCAPE FEATURES WHICH ARE SOME OF THE LIGHTER GREEN SHAPES OR THEY COULD BE ON PANELS OR PLACE FOR FAMILIES COULD SPREAD OUT A BLANKET AND HAVE A PICNIC OR SOMETHING. THAT ENTIRE ELLIPSE IS ALSO SORT OF ENCLOSED, YOU MAY SEE A CENTERLINE HERE. MY RESUME IN JUST A LITTLE BIT FOR YOU.

THEY WERE GONE. HE WILL SEE THE THINNER NE OVER THE EXTERIOR OF THE ELLIPSE.

THAT'S A SEAT WALL. THAT'S MEANT TO HELP PROVIDE THAT SENSE OF ENCLOSURE AND PREVENT HOUSE. THE RISK FROM RUNNING OUTSIDE OF THOSE CORE ELEMENTS.

IN THE CENTER OF THE PARK. THE PARK WOULD HAVE 4 LIGHTS AROUND THE EXTERIOR.

THAT'S NOT TO PROMOTE EVENING ACTIVITIES OR NIGHTTIME USE OF THE PARK.

THIS RELIEF FOR MINIMUM LEVEL OF SECURITY. YOU WILL SEE THAT OFTEN NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT EXPECTED TO HOST LARGE EVENTS AND HAVE LONG HOURS. IT'S MEANT FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE NEARBY.

ALSO AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE LIPS WILL SEE SOME SMALL EXERCISE PONDS.

AND THEN ON THE NORTH OR WEST SIDE OF THE ELLIPSE IS A LARGE PAVILION WHICH WOULD HAVE 4 PICNIC TABLES THAT COULD FIT UNDERNEATH IT. THE SMALLER ONES ARE INDIVIDUAL

PICNIC TABLES JUST TO CLARIFY. >> AARON, IF I CAN QUICKLY THAT LARGE PAVILION IS THE SAME SIZE

THAT IS CURRENTLY THERE, IS THAT CORRECT? >> THAT IS CORRECT.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT TODAY'S EXISTING PARK. IT HAS THE ONE LARGE PAVILION THAT HAS 4 TABLES AND 3 SMALLER ONES WITH SINGLE TABLES. THIS CONCEPT HAS ONE ADDITIONAL SINGLE TABLE. COVERED TABLE. THE ELLIPSE IS CONNECTED TO THE

[01:00:05]

JUSTIN ENHANCE CHEMISTRY AND CHEMISTRY CURRENTLY HAS PARKING PARALLEL PARKING ON IT BUT THIS IS FINANCING THAT PARALLEL PARKING MAKING IT FEEL LIKE A MUCH SAFER INTENTIONAL PLACE TO PARK. I DID FORGET TO MENTION THE EXTERIOR SEAT WALL.

WE COULD HAVE MARTIN LUTHER KING QUOTES ENGRAVED INTO THEM. ALL ALONG THE LENGTH.

WE COULD HAVE ONE LONG QUOTE OR SEVERAL SMALLER ONES. IT'S A PRETTY GOOD ART OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PARK. 22 THE CENTER THERE IS AN EXISTING, ADJACENT DISSIDENT

MEMORIAL OR MONUMENT THAT'S CURRENTLY THE PARK? >> IT'S A PLAQUE, MORE LIKE A

MEMORIAL IF YOU WILL. MEMORIAL PARK. >> THIS PARK EXCEPT INTO CONCEPTS WE COULD RELOCATE THAT EXISTED MONUMENT THERE. IT COULD BE ENHANCED WITH ADDITIONAL MONUMENTATION YOU KNOW A VERY FORMAL KIND OF AREA.

THERE IS A FULL-SIZE BASKETBALL COURT WHICH THE PARK CURRENTLY HAS BUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ELLIPSE WILL NEED TO GO ELSEWHERE. THERE WILL BE A NEW FULL-SIZE COURT. BETWEEN THE COURTS AND THE PARKING COULD BE ANOTHER STATE LAW TO PREVENT STRAY BALLS BOUNCING INTO THE PARKING AREA. IN ABOUT PEOPLE TO SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE COURT. THERE IS A NEW PROPOSED HEADING PARKING WHICH IS NUMBER 5.

APPEAR IN THIS CORNER NUMBER 21, WE ARE CALLING A STAGING AREA.

IF THERE WERE TO O BE AN EVENT VENT LIKE A FAMILY ON OR BIRTHDAY PARTY.

THIS ARK CURRENTLY FACILITATES THOSE FACILITIES. IF THERE WERE AN ACTIVITY TAKE PLACE THIS AREA COULD BE USED OR PERHAPS PORTA POTTY TO BE LOCATED FOR THAT DAY AND THAT THEY ONLY. THAT WOULD BE UP TO PEOPLE FOR FACILITATING THAT EVENT TO ACQUIRE. NUMBER 7 IS A TRAILHEAD AND WE HAD SHOWN TRAILHEAD GENERALLY IN THIS LOCATION BEFORE. THERE WERE COMMENTS ABOUT WELL WE DON'T LIKE ME LONG CROSSINGS. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THIS CORNER DOWN HERE WITH BAKER STREET MCALLISTER STREET. IF YOU CROSS HERE THERE IS NOT ADEQUATE ROOM TO GET EVEN A SIDEWALK ALONG BAKER STREET HERE. WITHOUT RECONSTRUCTING THIS BRIDGE THE BEST SOLUTION RECOMMENDED SOLUTION IS TO KEEP A LID BLOCK CROSSING BASER BAKER STREET IS ONLY TWICE THE LENGTH OF THIS PART AND IT'S A DEAD TRAFFIC WILL E VERY MINIMAL AND WE CAN ENHANCE THIS CROSSING HAVING A TABLETOP FEATURE WHERE IT'S ESSENTIALLY A VERY LARGE SPEEDBUMP THAT IS MEANT FOR COMFORTABLE CROSSING OF PEDESTRIANS.

VEHICLES WILL HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AS THEY APPROACH THAT. THEN 15 HIS POTENTIAL FUTURE TRAIL WILL DOOR CONNECTION WHICH CHRISTIAN SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER.

AROUND THE EXTERIOR, THESE 2 SIDES THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF PRESIDENT GREENE DRIVE YOU WILL NOTICE THE SIDEWALK HAS A DASHED LINE. IT'S ALSO WIDER AND LESS TO IMPLY THAT THIS COULD BE A MULTIUSE PATH. BECAUSE THE TRAIL WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CROSS AROUND THIS BRIDGE WE ARE SUGGESTING THAT THE PATH COULD GO THROUGH OR AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE PARK THAT WOULD COME DOWN TO THE INTERSECTION OF CAL AND PLEASANT ÃACROSS ONE OF THE CROSSWALKS TO CONTINUE SOUTH AND PICK BACK UP WHERE THIS OVERT IS OVER HERE. ITEM 3 IS IN A CERTAIN OPEN LAWN PANEL.

IT COULD BE MANY THINGS. ARE CALLING IT FLEX SPACE. IT COULD BE OPEN PLAY.

A ALSO BE PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES IN THEIR WEATHER AFFECTS THE COMMUNITY GARDEN EVENT SPACE LIKE MAYBE THIS FAMILY REUNION OR PICNIC NEEDED ATTENDANCE.

THAT WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE PLACE FOR THAT TO GO FOR TEMPORARILY.

WHEN IT COMES TO KINDERGARTENS SPECIFICALLY WE DON'T WANT TO RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY BUILT THOSE FACILITIES. WE RECOMMEND THAT IF IT IS DESIRED BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD

[01:05:10]

WE DON'T RECOMMEND THAT. AROUND PLEASANT GREEN ACCOUNT STREET THERE IS OPEN PLAYSTATION PLACES YOU COMPLETE CATCH, THROW FRISBEE AND SPROUT FOR A PICNIC.

JUST MORE THE INFORMAL SPACE THAT IS NECESSARY FOR NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.

THOSE AREAS ARE SEPARATED FROM THE STREETSCAPES WITH LOW SEQUELS AS WELL.

WHICH ALSO WOULD FUNCTION AS A POTENTIAL PUBLIC ART OPPORTUNITY.

I THINK I'VE HIT ON EVERYTHING. EXCEPT THERE WILL BE ENHANCED SIGNAGE FROM OKAY PERHAPS IT COULD BE AN ARCH OR MONUMENTATION OUT HERE IN THIS CORNER WITH ENHANCED LANDSCAPING. I THINK WE'VE HAD EVERYTHING. I WANT TO ASK YOU ALL, WHAT YOU ALL THINK? JOE THINK THIS HITS EVERYTHING WE DISCUSSED LAST TIME?

ARE WE MISSING ANYTHING? >> I'VE GOT ONE QUESTION. ACTUALLY 2. NUMBER ONE, CISCO TO BE A TOTAL MAKEOVER? I'D LIKE TO SEE IS A COMPARISON AS TO WHAT WE HAVE NOW IS WHAT WERE GOING TO ADD TO THE PROGRAM BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT IT LOOKS LIKE MAKEOVER.

I LIKE TO SEE IS A COMPARISON. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE NOW. >> THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE NOW APPEARED AS A LITTLE BIT SMALLER THAN WHAT WERE PROPOSING.

THAT'S GOOD.NSTEAD OF HAVING A STRIPING RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE COURT AS CURRENTLY EXISTS YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE ROOM FOR BEYOND THE STRIPING. SO THAT MEANS PEOPLE COULD SIT

ON THE SEAT WALL BUT NOT BE IN THE WAY OF PLAYING. >> I HAVE 2 QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONCEPTUALIZATION. FIRST OF JUST SAFETY WISE THINKING ABOUT MOVING THE BASKETBALL COURT TO THE EDGE OF THE PARK NEXT TO THE STREET WHERE THERE'S GOING TO BE CARS IS OBVIOUSLY IMPOSSIBLE LEAVES THE COURT I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE SEAWALL.

BUT, BASKETBALL ALSO BOUNCES. RENOUNCING THE CENTER OF THE PARK WHERE STUFF GOES OFF THE EDGE OF THE COURT THERE'S PLENTY OF BUFFER. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ENOUGH BUFFER ON THE EDGE OF THE COURT THERE TO, IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE PARK WERE MOVING IT TO THE EDGE OF THE PARK. IT WAS AT A CONDUCIVE SPACERS OR SOME MITIGATION THAT COULD BE MADE ON THE EDGE OF HER, PUT IT RIGHT NEXT TO THE PARKING LOT AND THEN SECONDLY, COULD YOU GO INTO MORE ABOUT WHAT IS THE DIVIDING LINE UP ON THE TOP OR GETS IN THE PICTURE OF THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PARK BETWEEN THE HOUSES THERE AND NUMBER 3

THAT MULTIPURPOSE SPACE? >> SURE. THE BASKETBALL COURT YES IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE PARKING. YOU KNOW MAYBE THE PAVILION CAN SWITCH PLACES WITH IT OR IT COULD MOVE ELSEWHERE IN THE PARK AND MOVE UP TO WHERE NUMBER 3 CURRENTLY IS.

LIKE WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY BECAUSE IT'S MORE VISIBLE. THAT AGAIN, IT COULD MOVE AROUND IN MANY PLACES IN THIS PARK. AND THEN I THANK YOU'RE ASKING WHAT'S HAPPENING UP HERE, THE EDGE OF THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES.

IT'S JUST A PLANTING STRIP WITH SHADE TREES JUST TO HELP DEFINE THE EDGE OF THE PARK AND

PROVIDE A SOFT BUFFER FOR THIS RESIDENCE. >> OKAY.

>> JUST EXPAND ON IT. BAKER STREET AS AARON MENTIONED IS A DEAD END.

SO THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF VEHICULAR TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH THERE.

WE WANT TO KEEP THOSE BASKETBALLS IN THE COURTS. I WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT

THERE AS WELL. >> I'D LIKE TO SEE 12 AND 3 SWAPPED.

THAT'S ME. >> ALL RIGHT. I RECALL AN AGREEMENT THE 12

AND 3 CAN SWAP SPOTS? >> YEAH. >> I DO, JUST CAUTION EVERYBODY. BASKETBALLS BOUNCING, HE COULD HEAR HIM FILLING FROM A LONG WAY AWAY. THE INTENT WHETHER THE BASKETBALL COURT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK NOW, THE INTENT OF MOVING IT WAS TO NOT NECESSARILY MOVE IT DIRECTLY TO THE RESIDENCES. AND TO KEEP IT A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO WHERE THE PARKING MIGHT BE. BUT, BRING THE MORE ACTIVE FACILITY, THE COURT ITSELF AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AREA SO YOU HAD A MORE INFORMAL AREA LESS ACTIVE AREA DIRECTLY

[01:10:01]

ADJACENT TO THOSE RESIDENTIAL AREAS. >> I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS A KNITTING OR CHAIN-LINK FENCE THAT YOU COULD PUT UP OTHER THAN JUST A SEAT WALL TO PREVENT BASKETBALLS FROM GOING INTO CARS.

KEEPING THE CALLS IN THE BASKETBALLS SOMEHOW SEPARATED WITH SOMETHING TALL.

>> ONE OFFICIAL THING WOULD BE IF THE ENTIRE ELLIPSE WITH TO SHIFT RANGE.

THIS GOES INTO A FINAL DESIGN. OUR CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS, IF EVERYTHING SHIFTS RIGHT YOU'RE ABLE TO GAIN THAT SPACE BETWEEN THE PARKING IN THE BASKETBALL COURT.

OF COURSE THAT LONG PANEL BETWEEN PLEASANT GREEN AND THE ELLIPSE WOULD MORE OR LESS BECOME LESS USABLE THEY WOULD PROVIDE THAT SPACE AND IT WOULDN'T PROVIDE NETTING AND MAINTENANCE THOSE KIND OF PHYSICAL BARRIERS TO WHERE IF A BASKETBALL COURT IS BEING USED

AND HAVE TO WALK ON THE WAY AROUND IT. >> SURE.

>> RESPONSE, WERE HEARING FROM THE COMMISSION. CLICK DIFFERENTLY SHIFT BACK COURT FURTHER AWAY FROM THAT PARKING AREA AND IN DOING SO A LOT OF PLACES WILL BE COULD RELOCATE THE PAVILION BY NUMBER 20. AGAIN, I WOULD CAUTION AGAINST LIVING NOT COURT ALL THE WAY TO WHERE NUMBER 3 IS. AT THIS POINT.

>> YEAH I WOULD SAY THE SAME. IF MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY I BELIEVE THERE IS SOME COMMENT MADE FROM FOLKS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT HAVING A BASKETBALL COURT RIGHT NEXT TO

THE HOMES. >> THEN CAN WE SWAP 20 & 12? I THINK WE COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I WOULDN'T NECESSARILY PUT 20 APPLICANTS A PARKING AREA EITHER. IF YOU PUSH 12 TOWARDS THE ELLIPSE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN WE COULD SLIDE THAT PAVILION OF THAT AREA OR ACROSS THAT WALK CLOSER TO NUMBER 3. YOU CAN

DEFLATE SHIFT IT. >> COOL. >> I THINK BY DOING THAT YOU KEEP THE PAVILION CLOSE TO THE CENTRAL ELLIPSE AND PLAYSPACE. YOU GET THAT BASKETBALL COURT TO GIVE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A BUFFER AND LITTLE BIT MORE SPACE AND IN DOING SO WE STILL PRESERVE MORE INFORMAL SPACE ADJACENT TO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA.

I THINK THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY POSED BY WHERE THE BASKETBALL COURT IS AT THIS MOMENT.> CHRISTIAN I THINK THAT'S A GOOD COMPROMISE TO SHIFT 12 INTO THE CENTER THAT OPEN SPACE AND MOVE 20 SOMEWHERE.

YEAH. >> SO CONCEPTUALLY SPEAKING. I GUESS THE IDEA IS THAT WE NEED TO GAIN A LITTLE BIT OF ROOM FOR THE BASKETBALL COURT AND THAT THE PAVILION MAY BE A

BALANCING FACTOR. >> AND CONCEPTUALLY SPEAKING I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS.

I THINK IT HAS, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK I THINK THAT IT HAS ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT WERE LOOKING FOR. I'M ASSUMING THERE IS WATER FOUNTAINS INHERENT.

I DON'T SEE IT ON YOUR LIST. THE POINT OF ENTRY DOWN HERE AT THE INTERSECTION OF CALLAN AND THE OTHER STREET. I THINK THAT'S A REALLY GOOD STATEMENT PIECE RIGHT THERE IN THE WAY IT GOES FROM THERE. WE THINK ABOUT AS WE DISCUSSED THIS IS THE CONCEPT FOR HOW WE MOVE FORWARD. WITH OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS. AS A DIFFERENT ELEMENTS WE WANT

TO PROMOTE ELSEWHERE. SO THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU EVERYBODY.

LET'S COME ONTO THE TRACY PARK CONCEPTS. >> SURE, SURE.

SO AGAIN WE PRESENTED 2 CONCEPTS LAST TIME. WE GOT PRETTY MIXED FEEDBACK ON THOSE SO, CONCEPT BE WAS SLIGHTLY MORE FAVORED. AND THAT WAS PRIMARILY BECAUSE IT HAD A COUPLE EXTRA THINGS THAT CONCEPT THEY DO NOT HAVE. HOWEVER THERE WERE A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT CONCEPT BEING. WHAT CONSTANTLY DID IS LOOKED AT, BUT WHAT IF WE WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN AND WE BUILD THIS FROM SCRATCH. WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? THAT WAS A MAJOR DOWNFALL FOR BEING. THERE WERE THINGS OUT A BIT THAT WERE GREAT. SO, WE'VE DONE HERE IS A KIND OF HONORING THE EXISTING ROADWAY LAYOUT. HAVING TO SHIFT IT A LITTLE BIT TO GET PARKING UP AGAINST THE DIRECTLY SERVES THE SPLASH PAD AND PLAYGROUND AREA. WE'VE GOT A SECONDARY ACCESS POINT, AND EGRESS POINT THAT COULD GO ALONG THE EDGE OF THE PARK.

THERE COULD BE PROPERTY ACQUISITION THERE. TO FACILITATE THAT AND PROVIDE PALM STREET PARKING. I REALLY HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH POTENTIALLY FUTURE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THAT AREA. WHAT THIS CONCEPT DOES IS IT

[01:15:01]

WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT WE NEED TO TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF THE PARK.

WE JUST HEARD A LOT OF WE WANT TO ENHANCE WILL BE GUARDING HOUSE.

SO THIS IS DOING THAT. IF WE START HERE WITH THE CURRENT PLAYGROUND IS THIS LETTER ORANGE COLOR. WHERE SUGGESTING THIS COULD BE A MUCH LARGER PROGRAM.

LOTS OF COMMENTS TO THE PUBLIC THAT IT NEEDS MORE PLAY EQUIPMENT.

IN INCLUSIVE PLAY EQUIPMENT. CENTERING ALL OF THAT AROUND THE EXISTING PLAYGROUND AND SPLASH PAD. CURRENTLY FOR THAT STUFF WILL BE GOING THERE IS CURRENTLY A BASKETBALL COURT. WHILE THERE WERE NEGATIVE RELATIONSHIPS THAT ANYONE DISCUSSED BETWEEN THE BASKETBALL COURT AND THOSE PLAYGROUNDS.

AFRICAN ENHANCE THAT AREA IT'S GOT TO MOVE. WE HAVEN'T MOVED IT OVER NEXT TO THE TENNIS COURTS LIKELY PREVIOUSLY SHOWN. WE HAVE LOCATED IT HERE AND IT'S AT THIS ANGLE BECAUSE OF THIS OVERHEAD UTILITY CORRIDOR HAVE TO RESPECT.

HE KEEPS THAT RELATIONSHIP NEARBY. SO IF MAYBE ONE PARENT WANTED TO GO PLAY BASKETBALL THEY CAN. ANOTHER ONE FRIEND IS WATCHING THE PLAYGROUND.

THIS CONCEPT ALSO HAS A LOT OF TRAILS AROUND THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR THAT ARE PROPOSED.

IT WOULD CONNECT TO ADJACENT DEVELOPMENTS EXISTING AND FUTURE.

22 IN PARTICULAR SHOWING IS A 30 FOOT CORRIDOR THAT COULD BE ACQUIRED OR COULD BE AN EASEMENT HOWEVER IT WOULD HAPPEN IT WOULD PROVIDE FUTURE CONNECTION POTENTIALLY ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE MALL. LET'S SEE IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE BASKETBALL COURT HERE WE NEED TO REDO THE BACKSTOPS BY PUTTING THE BACKSTOPS TOGETHER WERE ABLE TO SAVE SPACE CURRENTLY THEY FACE EACH OTHER. IF WE PUT THEM BACK TO BACK TABLE LITTLE BIT OF SPACE AND SHIP THEM OVER HERE. PLENTY OF ROOM FOR PRACTICE TO OCCUR THERE.

THAT WOULD GO ALONG WITH SOME NEW PAVILIONS TO SERVE THOSE. THE DISC GOLF COURSES LARGELY UNTOUCHED. BUT DUE TO THIS NEW ACCESS DRIVE TO THE HOLES WOULD HAVE TO BE REARRANGED WHICH WE DON'T THINK WOULD AFFECT THE PLAYABILITY OF THE COURSE.

THIS PARKING LOT HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY EDITED. SOME OF THE PARKING STALLS HAVE BEEN REMOVED. THAT WERE DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THESE RESIDENCES.

WE'VE ALSO PUT LANDSCAPE ISLANDS THROUGH THE EXISTING PARKING LOT.

HERE AND HERE. CLOSER TO PLACIDA BEEN TO BE DENSE.

AND THROUGHOUT ALL THE NEW PARKING AND ROADWAYS. JUST A SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN TO THE PARK AND PREVENTS, WE HAVE COMMENTS OF PEOPLE DRIFTING IN THE CIRCLE.

THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE ANYMORE WITH LANDSCAPE ISLANDS IT WOULD BE A BARRIER TO THAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY. THE AMPHITHEATER COULD BE THE STAGE AREA FOR THE AMPHITHEATER COULD BE EXPANDED TO ALLOW FOR ACTIVITIES LIKE THE SYMPHONY TO PLAY.

AND THERE COULD BE AN ADDITIONAL STORAGE AND CHANGING EVERY OFFENSE ADDED ON TO THE BACK OF IT. BEHIND IT. THERE IS A BATHROOM FOR THE AMPHITHEATER CURRENTLY BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE, THERE WERE COMMENTS NOT HAVING ADEQUATE SPACE FOR LOTS OF CHANGING WHAT HAPPENED DURING A THEATER EVENTS.

THERE WOULD BE A SERVICE DRIVE TO GET EQUIPMENT AND LARGE CROPS AND SETS AND SOUND EQUIPMENT TO THE AMPHITHEATER FROM THE DRIVEWAYS MIGHT BE A CIRCULAR DRIVE BUT THAT'S PRIMARILY A PEDESTRIAN PROMENADE. IT WOULD BE GATED OFF AT VEHICULAR ACCESS POINTS AND CONTROLLED FOR EVENTS ONLY. THE EXISTING RESTROOM PAVILION WILL REMAIN IN PLACE. THERE WOULD BE A NEW PAVILION AND RESTROOM BE THE CENTER OF THE PLAYGROUND AND SPLASH PAD AREA. THE COURTS OF THE VOLLEYBALL COURTS AND VOLLEYBALL COURTS OF HORSESHOES WOULD REMAIN IN PLACE.

THE LAKE COULD BE SLIGHTLY ALTERED FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE ROOM.

IT COULD BE KEPT AT A CONSTANT LEVEL NOW FOUNTAINS TO MAINTAIN OXYGEN LEVELS FOR FISH IF THERE WERE TO BE A FISH STOCKING PROGRAM. THERE COULD BE FISHING PIERS OR DOCS THAT ARE LOCATED THERE. WE ADDED A SECOND ONE THAT'S CLOSE TO THIS PARKING AREA.

IN CASE SOMEBODY WANTS TO ENJOY BEING ON THE PIER BUT THIS COULD BE TO FAR OF A WALK FOR THEM. THE LITTLE RED DOTS YOU MIGHT SEE OCCASIONALLY THROUGHOUT THE

[01:20:04]

WE THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. DEATHLY SOMETHING YOU WOULD SEE IN A REGIONAL PARK AND ALSO

NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS.>> THE TENNIS COURTS WOULD REMAIN UNTOUCHED.

THEY ARE LIT AND, LET ME GO OVER THE NUMBERS REAL QUICK TO YELLOW.

THE LAWN AREA, THE SCREEN SHADE. RIGHT HERE YOU MIGHT SEE THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A LIGHTER AREA DUE TO THE AERIAL. THAT'S THE RANGE OF THE HILLSIDE. THIS AREA BETWEEN THAT RANGE IN THE AMPHITHEATER IS SORT OF THE USABLE SPECTATOR AREA. THAT AREA IS 24,000 SQUARE FEET AND THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE 16 HUNDRED PEOPLE. THAT'S USING 15 SQUARE FEET PER PERSON WHICH IS A NUMBER WE USED THROUGH SEVERAL AMPHITHEATER DEVELOPMENT TO WORK ON PRIOR.

THAT GENERALLY CYCLE FAMILIES WILL CLUSTER TOGETHER AND HAVE THEIR SORDID PICNIC BLANKETS AND COOLERS AND CHAIRS OUT. YES, IT COULD FIT A LOT MORE PEOPLE IN 15 SQUARE FEET.

THIS IS GENERALLY WHAT YOU WILL SEE. BE MORE CONCENTRATED TOWARDS THE FRONT AND TAPER OFF TOWARDS THE BACK. SO FOR 1600 PEOPLE YOU NEED PARKING FOR THOSE RIGHT? THERE'S BEEN COMMENTS ABOUT WELL, THIS PART DOESN'T HAVE ADEQUATE PARKING AND I THINK THE EXISTING PARKING NUMBER IS 242.

AND IF YOU FIGURE 4 PEOPLE PER CAR THAT'S 970 PEOPLE. BUT AMPHITHEATER FITS MORE THAN THAT. DEVON FITS MORE THAN THAT. LAWN ITSELF IS 1600 PEOPLE.

THIS CONCEPT HAS EXACTLY ENOUGH PARKING FOR 1600 PEOPLE IF YOU FIGURE 4 PEOPLE PER VEHICLE.

YOU MIGHT ALSO ASSUME THAT WITH THE CONDUCTIVITY WITH THE TRAIL NETWORK THAT THIS PROVIDES TO ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL AREAS EXISTING AND FUTURE THAT SOME PEOPLE WILL BE WALKING INTO THE PARK RATHER THAN DRIVING IN. HAVING THOSE 2 EGRESS POINTS WILL ALLOW FOR EASIER CONTROL.

>> HEY AARON? >> THIS ASLEEP. LET ME CORRECT YOU REAL BRIEFLY. WE HAVE A LITTLE ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUE.

FROM OUR QUORUM. ONE OF OUR MEMBERS HAD TO LEAVE.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT PREVENTS US FROM CONTINUING TO FINISH UP THE MEETING TONIGHT.

WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION ON OR VOTE ON.

I THINK SINCE THAT'S THE CASE IF IT'S OKAY WITH THE REMAINING MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO JUST GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE. I KNOW JASON IS TRYING TO GET A READING ON THAT. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER OUR QUORUM SURVIVES ONCE IT'S ESTABLISHED.

THEY MAY SURVIVE. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT DOES OR NOT.

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR RIGHT NOW. BUT HONESTLY AS LONG AS YOU

DON'T TAKE ANY ACTION THAT'S THE MAIN THING. >> I THINK THAT'S RIGHT.

SO ANYWAY I WANTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WERE DOWN TO 4 AGAIN. BUT, YOU'RE ON A ROLL AND

YOU'RE DOING GREAT. I WANT TO KEEP THAT GOING. >> DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN TAKE ANY

ACTION. >> WANT TO KEEP GOING. >> I LIKE BASKETBALL TO ADOPT THIS. FOCUS ON THE AGENDA ANYWAY. ACTUALLY, I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WRAPPING UP THIS PARK ANYWAY. THIS TAKES AN ACCOUNT THE POSITIVE THINGS THAT WERE DISCUSSED FOR CONCEPTS AND BEING.

THE LAST MEETING. WHAT YOU ALL THINK OF THAT? ARE WE MISSING ANYTHING HERE?

DOES THIS PARK NEED ANYTHING ELSE? >> THIS LOOKS GREAT TO ME.

>> AGREED, I THINK REPACKING A LOT OF PUNCH INTO ETHICALLY TRACY.

>> AND I COMPLETELY TOOK SOME OF THE IDEAS, THE EXTERNAL DRIVEWAY OR THE EXTERNAL ROAD FROM THE OTHER PLAN WHICH I THINK WAS INSTRUCTED TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

BUT YEAH, I THINK THIS IS I THINK IT ADDRESSES THE COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK,, CERTAINLY.

ONE QUESTION I DO HAVE. I KNOW THIS IS PRELIMINARY. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT AS AS FAR AS SQUARE FOOTAGE INCREASE IN THE PLAYGROUND? I NOTE NUMBER 5 I THINK IS WHAT IT WAS. THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMMENTS WE HEARD WAS THAT

[01:25:01]

300 PERCENT INCREASE. >> OH. >> IT COULD BE A LOT.

IT COULD BE PHASED AND 6 IN PARTICULAR WOULD ALSO BE PLAYGROUND, 5, 6 AND THE ORANGE AREAS EXISTING AND 5, 6 COULD BE ADDITIONAL PLAYGROUND SPACE. THERE'S DEFINITELY POTENTIAL

FOR A LOT OF EXPANSION THERE. >> WE ARE ADDING A BUNCH OF SEEDING THAT IS COVERED AS WELL, RIGHT? THAT'S CORRECT. THE EXISTING PLAYGROUND HAS COVERED PICNIC TABLES AROUND IT.E WOULD BE EXPANDING UPON THOSE IN ADDING MORE THOSE WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT. I WILL SAY THOSE ARE RATHER LARGE SHADE STRUCTURES OF ONE PICNIC TABLE. THERE COULD BE A SECOND PICNIC TABLE MAY BE ADDED TO THOSE.

ALSO ITEM 7 HERE. THIS IS A COMBINED RESTROOM AND PAVILION.

YOU COULD EASILY FIT 8 TABLES UNDERNEATH THAT WITH ADEQUATELY SIZED RESTROOM FACILITIES.

>> ALL RIGHT. GOOD, AARON THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU GUYS. >> SPECULATED AND GET OFF TO EASY OFF.

>> HEY, DON'T TELL NOT. >> UNDER THE SEX HUNGER HOT TOPIC.

>> UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS WE COULD MOVE ON TO RIVERSIDE.

>> ALL RIGHT. >> ALL RIGHT, ROOM CITED IS. BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A LARGE PARK MIGHT KIND OF LOOK AT EXISTING FACILITIES FIRST. DON'T THINK WE NEED TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THOSE ARE. I DO WANT TO COME IS ALL OF THOSE EXISTING FACILITIES ARE TO REMAIN IN PLACE. SO THE 36 HOLE DISC GOLF COURSE IS TO REMAIN IN PLACE.

WE HAVE MADE SURE TO ACCOUNT FOR THE DRIVING RANGE WHICH WAS RECENTLY ADDED.

BUT, WHAT WE HEARD LAST TIME CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG IS THAT WE LOVE RIVERSIDE.

WITH EVERYTHING THAT IT CURRENTLY OFFERS. I COULD BE JUST ENHANCE IT AND NOT RE-CREATED? WHO COULD BE DOOMED TO JUST MAKE IT THAT MUCH BETTER AND BRING THOSE FEW ELEMENTS, THOSE EXTRA ELEMENTS INTO THE PARK? SO, KEEPING IN MIND ALL THE EXISTING ELEMENTS ARE GOING TO BE MAINTAINED REMAIN IN PLACE LIKE THE GOLF COURSE, THE DISC OF COURSE, THE BASEBALL FIELDS AND ALL THAT STUFF. START DOWN HERE AT THE SOUTH END THEN WE CAN WORK OUR WAY NORTH. SO, ON THE SOUTH END IS PRIMARILY LOOKING AT CONNECTIVITY TO DOWNTOWN. THERE IS DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR CONNECTING TO DOWNTOWN. YOU COULD GO ON STATE AVENUE. WE COULD GO ON POTENTIALLY COMMERCIAL STREETS. RAVEN GOODWIN AVENUE. THOSE ARE ALL APPROPRIATE FOR DOORS TO GET TO DOWNTOWN. WHETHER THAT BE A MULTIUSE PATH ON THE SIDE OF THE STREETS.

IT COULD HAVE BIKE LANES OR SEPARATE A BIPLANE IN A SIDEWALK THOSE ARE ALL GOOD OPTIONS THERE. THE PARK ON THE SOUTH SIDE COULD BE ENHANCED BY HAVING A VERY FORMAL ENTRY. IT COULD BE A LARGE GATED MONUMENT.

AS YOU'RE LEAVING DOWNTOWN AND COMING INTO RIVERSIDE IT COULD BE THIS REALLY GRAND ENTRY INTO RIVERSIDE PARK SAYING THIS IS THE BIGGEST AND BEST PARK WITH SCOTT VICTORIA.

WE GOT EVERYTHING HERE. THAT'S A REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY THERE.

AS YOU COME INTO THE PARK OPEN PLAY AREA DOWN HERE. WE'LL DRIVE PAST THE PUMP HOUSE. AND THEN TO YOUR LEFT LET'S SAY, TEAR LEFT OVER HERE IS A TAKEOUT OPPORTUNITY FOR KAYAKS. CURRENTLY THERE'S A TAKEOUT AREA DOWN HERE.

IT'S VERY STEEP VERY DIFFICULT TO GET TO. THIS IS A GREAT AREA TO HAVE A MORE ACCESSIBLE AND FRIENDLY TAKE OUT POINT FOR CANOES, KAYAKS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. THAT AREA CAN BE ENHANCED WITH ADDITIONAL PARKING, COVERED PAVILION WAITING FOR VEHICLES TO PICK YOU UP AFTER YOUR FLOAT.

ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF MEMORIAL DRIVE IS A POTENTIAL DOG PARK.

THE ZOO IS TO REMAIN IN PLACE BUT IT COULD BE ENHANCED AND HAVE STORAGE, STAGING EXPANSION

[01:30:06]

THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR INTENTIONAL PURPOSE TO EXPAND UPON THAT.

CALLING IT OUT SAYING HEY THIS IS POTENTIALLY SOCCER FIELDS HERE.

THIS WILL BE USED FOR TOURNAMENT PLAY. 14 HERE COULD BE A PLAYGROUND AND FOOD TRUCKS THAT WOULD SERVE GOD SOCCER AREA. WE CALL IT THE FAMILY FACTOR.

THE WHOLE FAMILY GOES TO THE SOCCER GAME AND SOMETIMES THAT ENTAILS THEIR SMALL CHILDREN WHO DON'T RESET THEIR SOCCER GAME. THEY NEED SOMETHING TO DO.

PROVIDING THAT SMALL RESTROOM TO SERVE THE TOURNAMENT AREA. >> CANNOT CHIME IN REALLY

QUICKLY. >> PLEASE DO. >> WANTED TO POINT THIS OUT BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS A REALLY GOOD OPTION I GUESS TO SHOW YOU WHERE CONCEPTUAL'S REALLY COME INTO PLAY. SO, LET'S SAY WE ADOPT THIS THE WAY THAT IT'S PRESENTED TONIGHT. I WOULD GET AROUND TO RIVERSIDE SOCCER FIELD COMPLEX IN 3 YEARS. FOR 2 YEARS. WE SEE THE NUMBER 14 DOESN'T NECESSARILY FIT THERE. WE WANT TO MOVE IT TO THE PROPOSED NEW SOCCER FIELD AREA THAT HE'S GOT OUTLINED IN THAT GREAT IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF 16.

WE COULD ALWAYS MOVE THAT AT THAT POINT IN TIME. I JUST WANTED TO USE THAT AS AN EXAMPLE. THE PLAYGROUND IS THERE IN THE AREA.

IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THAT LOCATION WE NEED TO HAVE IT. THERE COULD BE SOMETHING THAT COMES UP DOWN THE ROAD WERE JUST CAN'T DO IT WE HAVE TO MOVE IT SOMEWHERE.

BUT, I WANTED USE IT AS AN EXAMPLE IS A PRETTY GOOD ONE TO SHOW YOU WILL.

>> SORRY AARON. THANK YOU. >> IS A GREAT POINT.

I'LL TELL YOU STORY AS WE HAVE A SIMILAR PROCESS WILL REJOIN US FROM THE PARK WE HAVE AN AMPHITHEATER ON THE SIDE IN A PLAYGROUND ON THE EAST SIDE. WE TOOK IN 30 PERCENT DRAWINGS STAY THE SAME. 60 PERCENT DRAWINGS WE WERE EXPECTED TO SWITCH SIDES.

IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT AT THAT LEVEL. IT TELLS YOU THAT THESE THINGS CAN STILL MOVE AROUND NUMBER STILL GETTING PUBLIC FEEDBACK THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

SO, IF YOU ENTER ON THE SOUTH THROUGH DRIVING DOWN MEMORIAL YOU WILL SEE THAT PRIMARY TRAIL CORRIDOR AND READ. ECHOES ALONG THE ENTIRE PARK. THAT WOULD BE AN OFF STREET MULTIPURPOSE FACILITY. PAVED FOR PEDESTRIANS, JOGGERS, CYCLISTS.

YOU KNOW SCOOTERS, WHAT HAVE YOU.R. PRIMARY TRAIL. OR CORRIDOR.

THERE'S A SECONDARY CORRIDOR THAT GOES OUT TO BOTH OVERSPEND AND FOX'S BEND.

THEN THROUGH THE NATURE CENTER AREA AROUND THE DUCK POND AND THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLY A PAVED TRAIL OR DECOMPOSED GRANITE TRAIL. STILL HAVING PLENTY OF TRAIL NETWORKS AND RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES ALONG THOSE TRAIL NETWORKS.

AT THE CORNER OF MCCREIGHT MEMORIAL THERE IS CURRENTLY SAND VOLLEYBALL COURTS.

THOSE COULD BE EXPANDED AND ALSO ENHANCED WITH ADDITIONAL SPORTS COURTS.

THAT COULD BE, BUT WE WOULD RECOMMEND SPORTS COURTS POINTS WOULD BE MULTIPURPOSE COURTS THAT COULD BE FUTSAL, THEY COULD BE BASKETBALL. THEY COULD BE PICKLE BALL, TENNIS. ALL THE STRIPING IS THERE. THEY COULD BE RESTRIPED.

IT'S REALLY JUST TO ALLOW A LOT OF DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES TO HAPPEN.

LOOKING IN THE MIRROR NOT BECAUSE THERE'S A EXISTING SAND VOLLEYBALL COURTS AND IT'S A GOOD CENTRAL LOCATION BUT IT CAN UTILIZE EXISTING PARKING FOR THE STADIUM.

>> PARKING FOR THE STADIUM CAN BE ENHANCED, PRESCRIBED, REPAVED.

THE COULD BE LANDSCAPE ITEMS ADDED TO IT FOR SHADE. THIS IS TEXAS AND WOULD LOVE TO PARK IN THE SHADE. 23 COULD BE A POTENTIAL PARKING EXPANSION.

IT COULD ALSO BE OVERFLOW PARKING. IT COULD ALSO BE 23 WOULD BE GREAT IF THERE WERE ADDITIONAL PARKING IN A COULD SERVE THE DRIVING OR DRIVING RANGE.

THERE COULD BE A PAVILION SORT OF A RENTAL AREA. NOT THE PRO SHOP BUT A SMALL STRUCTURE THAT SPECIFICALLY CATERS TO THE DRIVING RANGE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO IT.

[01:35:04]

ASIDE FROM THE TRAIL NETWORK. 3 WERE CALLING OUT AS POTENTIAL TAKEOUT POINTS FOR FLOAT TRIPS.

DEPENDING ON THE FLOWS OF THE GUADALUPE RIVER WHICH FLUCTUATE PRETTY DRASTICALLY.

MAY BE A VERY SLOW FLOW CANDIDATE. MAY BE RECOMMENDED TO TAKE OUT OF FOX'S BEND AND THERE COULD BE AGAIN A COVERED AREA FOR YOU TO STAND AND WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO COME PICK YOU UP. AS WE RETURN TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE PARK ALONG FOX'S BEND WILL NOTICE THESE LITTLE PINK DOTS. THOSE ARE NOT IN THE SPECIFIC POINTS BUT ALONG THAT AREA WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR PICNIC PAVILIONS AND COVERED SEATING AREAS THAT ARE LOOKING INTO THAT RIVER REALLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF VIEWS AND THAT NATURAL SETTING. AS WE MOVE NORTH BEYOND THE PRO SHOP.

THERE WILL BE THE DUCK POND WHICH IS I THINK THE PLANS ARE DONE FOR THAT, IS THAT CORRECT?

>> YES, DESIGN DEVELOPMENT IS FINISHED. TRYING TO WRAP UP OUR CDS RIGHT

NOW. >> GOT YOU. ALL RIGHT, THAT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED. WITH THIS SCHEMATIC. AND THEN ONCE YOU GET INTO A OVERSPEND THE EXISTING RESTROOM WILL BE IMPROVED. THERE'S A NEW PLAYGROUND AREA AND WE DON'T THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED ANYTIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

WE ARE SHOWING THAT PRIMITIVE CAMPING AREA. WE TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME.

THAT AREA IN A OVERSPEND CAN BE GATED OFF FROM THE REST OF THE PARK.

SO THIS AREA CAN FUNCTION ON ITS OWN BEYOND NORMAL PARK HOURS.

AND TO HELP PROVIDE THAT DIVISION OF USABLE SPACE. A OVERSPEND CAN ALSO BE A TAKE OUT POINT DURING DAYTIME USE. DEPENDING ON THE RIVER FLOWS AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME PEOPLE WANT TO BE ON THE RIVER. PEBBLE BEACH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE BUT WERE CALLING OUT THAT THERE COULD BE A COVERED PAVILION THAT SUPPORTS THIS AREA AS A TAKEOUT.

AS YOU CONTINUE ALONG THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL COVERED PAVILION PICNIC OPPORTUNITIES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE VIEWS AMONG THE GUADALUPE DAY. THAT NATURAL SETTING AGAIN.

3 HERE, THERE'S EXISTING BOAT RAMP WHICH WOULD BE IMPROVED WITH ADDITIONAL PARKING IT COULD HAVE BETTER CLOSE FOR VEHICLES AND THERE'S ALSO THE EXISTING ACCESS POINT THERE FOR PEOPLE TO GET IN KAYAKS AND ALL THAT. AS WE PASSED THE ROSE GARDEN WHICH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AND THE FORMER SITE OF THE ADMISSION.

THIS IS WHERE THE PLAYGROUND CURRENTLY IS. THAT COULD BE REDONE AND ENHANCED AND EXPANDED BOTH 5 TO 12 AND 2 TO 5 PLAYGROUNDS IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BRING IN THAT SPLASH PAD AND HAVE LOTS OF COVERED SEATING, PICNIC PAVILIONS AND EVEN ADDITIONAL FOOD TRUCK SPACE TO CATER TO THE WEEKEND DAYS WHERE IT'S JUST CRAZY BUSY OUT THERE.

THE BACKSTOPS HERE COULD BE REORIENTED AND REDONE. THERE KIND OF RESTING RIGHT NOW. WE WOULD PROPOSE THAT THEY BE REFINISHED IN THE PARKING BE REARRANGED TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFICIENT THEN THERE'S ALSO THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY COMING IN ON MAGNOLIA AVENUE MAIN STREET THAT THIS IS ANOTHER LARGE ACCESS POINT FOR THE PARK. AS WELL AS A LONG RED RIVER WHEREVER WE'VE GOT A GROUP COMING INTO THE PARK THAT'S GO AHEAD AND CELEBRATE RIVERSIDE PARK AND HAVE THIS MONUMENTATION AND THIS BIG WELCOMING FUTURE AS YOU ENTER THE PARK.

THIS CONCEPT IS ALSO SHOWING POTENTIAL FUTURE EXPANSION. WHETHER IT BE HIKING TRAILS IN THE SPARKLY ACQUISITION OR MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS, YOU KNOW WE COULD HAVE THOUGHT MARY PAVED TRAIL CORRIDOR COME THROUGH AND CONNECT BACK UP TOWARDS MAIN STREET.

MAIN AND VINE URGE TO MERGE. THEN THERE'S A POTENTIAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION APPEARED.

THAT SHOULD ABOUT COVER IT. YOU'LL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR WHAT YOU WILL THINK

[01:40:04]

>> OTHER THE FOOD TRUCK IDEA. BIG FAN. >> METOO.

>> EXECUTED A GREAT IDEA INCORPORATING A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT ARE WANTED.

I I DEFER TO HLEY ON THE TAKEOUTS AND THAT SORT OF THING.

DO YOU THINK THEY DID ENOUGH WITH THAT? IS IT TO MUCH?

>> OH NO, THAT'S GREAT. THAT'S REALLY GREAT, THANK YOU. >> ,LITTLE BIT OF A QUESTION

ABOUT, THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING IN THERE. >> ALL RIGHT.

CAN WE TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DRIVING RANGE STUFF? >> SURE.

X YOU KNOW IS THAT PART OF THE GOLF COURSE IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A FEATURE ALL OF ITS OWN AND SORT OF SEPARATE FROM THE GOLF COURSE? I WONDER HOW THAT IMPACTS THE

GOLF COURSE? THAT MAY BE. >> WHICH PART, PARTICULAR?

JUST THE PARKING AREA? >> HAVING A SUPER PARKING AREA FOR THE DRIVING RANGE AS OPPOSED TO JUST HAVING IT MORE OR LESS A PART OF THE COURSE ITSELF.

I KNOW THAT KENNETH CAME UP AND I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER WE HAVE THE DRIVING RANGE THERE.

I GUESS THAT'S LOCATION OF IT GENERALLY. IS PRIMARILY USED BY THE PEOPLE PLAYING. ANOTHER WORDS THE PLAN GOLF OTHER THAN JUST COMING TO HAVE

BALLS. >> FOR THE MOST PART. >> YOU KNOW, IT'S A CONCEPT THAT WE WANT TO CONSIDER HAVING IT AS SOMETHING SEPARATE SO PEOPLE JUST COME TO HIT BALLS

AS OPPOSED TO B. >> SEE WHAT YOU MEAN. HAVING A DESIGNATED RANGE FOR

THE GOLF CUSTOMERS? >> YOUNG. >> AREA IS A LITTLE UNIQUE ANYWAY. I MEAN THE DRIVING RANGE IS PRETTY FAR AWAY FROM THE CLUBHOUSE. TYPICALLY WE DON'T LIKE TO HAVE THOUGHT.

I'M SURE LORI CAN ATTEST TO TO THAT. , THE DRIVING ANGE IS NEXT TO A NATURE TRAIL NEXT TO THE TRAILHEAD. THERE HAS BEEN SOME SUGGESTION MADE BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT ON SATURDAY MORNING FOR INSTANCE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PARKING FOR PEOPLE THAT WANT TO GO UTILIZE THAT NATURE TRAIL. I THINK THAT'S WHERE CHRISTIAN AND AARON ARE COMING FROM IN THIS DESIGN. FROM THE FEEDBACK WE HAVE NOTICED THAT PEOPLE FROM THE ONE PARKED THERE. JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE THE DRIVING RANGE IS OUT. IS THAT KIND OF ANSWER YOUR

QUESTION? >> YES, I'M TRYING TO GET A HANDLE.

AT 23 THAT SECTION 23 THE OLD HORSEMAN'S ARENA RIGHT? >> CORRECT.

THIS YOUNG. >> I CAN HAVE A PROBLEM WITH INITIALLY WITH PUTTING THE PARKING 23. IT SEEMS LIKE SUCH A GREAT, THAT INTERSECTION RIGHT THERE AT THE PARK I MEAN TODAY IT'S A MAJOR INTERSECTION. THIS NUMBER GOING TO, WE GOT PARKING AT 23 ON. I CAN BE LANDSCAPED SO I CAN LOOK GOOD.

DOESN'T SIT RIGHT WITH ME JUST YET. I WAS PART OF THE LAST CONVERSATION BECAUSE OF THE FUNERAL. I GOT SOME CATCHING UP TO DO.

AND THEN ALSO THAT TRAILHEAD LIKE YOU SAID THAT COMES AROUND THE CORNER APPEARED FROM ASSUMING THAT WOULD BE REROUTED BECAUSE THAT IS PART OF THE TRAIL THAT CONNECTS THE WHOLE

PARK. >> RIGHT, IT'S THE TALK. YEAH.

>> SORRY JASON BUT 23 IS A LITTLE BIT OF PARKING THERE RIGHT NOW, MAYBE LIKE 5 SPACES?

>> JUST NORTH OF THAT JUST ABOUT THAT. IT'S MORE RIGHT ACROSS FROM 27 ON THE RIGHT. THERE IT IS. ON THE RIGHT AT 27 WE HAVE

MAYBE 6 TO 10 PARKING SPOTS. >> BUT THAT IS A PRETTY LARGE AREA YOU MENTIONED LORI.

FOR NUMBER 23. THAT'S A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT SPACE.

>> GET RIGHT. YOU CAN CERTAINLY DO MORE PARKING TO ACCESS THE TRAIL RIGHT THERE AND THE DRIVING RANGE OF THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO DO.

[01:45:04]

>> DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT TO ME. >> HAD THE SAME INITIAL THOUGHT IS YOU LORI.

IT'S A LOT OF PARKING ALL RIGHT THERE.T THE SAME TIME IT DOES KIND OF MAKE SENSE AND I DEFER THE PROFESSIONAL PART DEVELOPERS OF THAT.AVING ALL THE PARKING CENTRALIZED INSTEAD OF TALKING IT UP. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE CENTER OF THE PARK RIGHT THERE.

YOU HAVE OF THE PARKING AND VEHICULAR TRAFFIC THERE. IT SPREADS OUT OF WEIGHT SO THE FURTHER YOU GET AWAY FROM THAT WHOLE SLEEVELESS VEHICULAR TRAFFIC YOU WILL HAVE THE PARK.

I THINK, IF THEY DID SOME OF THE TABLETOPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT JUST SLOW PEOPLE DOWN AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE WELL IDENTIFIED CROSSWALKS THERE. IT'S ALMOST BETTER TO HAVE ALL ABOUT PARKING CENTRALIZED IN ONE LOCATION SO YOU'RE NOT THEN HAVING MORE VEHICULAR TRAFFIC THROUGHOUT THE PARK. THAT WAS THEIR THINKING.HE MORE MORE LOOK AT IT THAT DOES

KINDA MAKE SENSE TO PUT IT ALL IN ONE LOCATION. >> IT DOES DEPEND ON WHAT TYPE OF ACTIVITIES PARKING IS INTENDED TO SUPPORT. THE SCALE OF 23 FOR THIS INSTANCE IS OVERFLOW PARKING FOR THE STADIUM.T IS PARKING FOR THE TRAILS.

IT'S PARKING, POTENTIAL TARGET FOR THE DRIVING RANGE. IT IS CATERING TO A LOT OF DIFFERENT USES. WHAT WE MIGHT DO HERE IS REDUCE THE SCALE OF IT AND PULLED AWAY FROM RED RIVER. YOU'RE RIGHT, THAT IS A MAJOR INTERSECTION.

JUST HAVING PARKING EVERYWHERE COULD BE LIKE WOW. THIS IS A BUSINESS PARK? THERE CAN BE LANDSCAPED ISLANDS WITH TREES FOR SHADING. ALSO THERE COULD BE WIDE MEDIANS BETWEEN THE MAIN ROAD IN THIS PARKING LOTS THAT HAVE YOU KNOW WIDE AND PEDESTRIAN PATHS IN THEM. SOME DOZEN FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ENTERING THIS WORLD OF

PAVEMENT. >> RIGHT. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE, IF WE DO, ONLY FINISH THE SOCCER FIELDS IN THE TOURNAMENT COMPLEX REALLY ARE GOING TO HAVE A NEED FOR MORE PARKING PROBABLY. DON'T YOU THINK?

>> ORIGINALLY WERE WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IN THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN MEETINGS OVER AT THE HEADQUARTERS CRATE WAS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT PUTTING THE DOG PARK WAS 23?

>> YES. >> ONE POINT OF CLARIFICATION TO AARON.

THERE'S SOME SORT OF A LIFT STATION OR SOMETHING RIGHT ALONG THOSE LINES UNDER 23.

WE COULD REALLY ONLY UTILIZE MAYBE THAT TOP HALF ANYWAY. OR WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT

SOMETHING LOGISTICALLY AROUND THAT LIFT STATION. >> OKAY.

>> AND I WOULD GET INTO THE WEEDS DOWN. >> I KNOW IT.

>> ABBA QUESTION. ON THE DRIVING RANGE HOW MANY SPORTS WEIGHT, BASICALLY.

>> OBEYS, I KNOW I SHOULD KNOW. >> ON ABOUT SOMETHING I SHOULD KNOW OFF THE TOP.

>> JUST LOOKS REALLY BIG. >> THIS IS ROUGH TOO. >> IT'S A BUBBLE.

YET. >> IS NOT EXACT SHAPE OF IT. >> THE QUESTION I HAVE THIS OR ANY CONSIDERATION FOR PARKING ON THE OTHER END OF THE SOCCER FIELDS AROUND 21 POINT.

>> THAT HIS POTENTIAL. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND SEPARATING THE PARK PARKING.

PROBABLY USE THAT IT'S DIRECTLY CATERING TO. THERE IS A BUFF STREET THAT COMES THROUGH HERE. IT IS LOWER TRAFFIC AND IT CAN BE DONE WITH APPROPRIATE PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS. AMONG RED RIVER STREET AND POTENTIALLY A MIDBLOCK CROSSING SOMEWHERE AROUND HERE. IT'S NOT YOUR PREFERRED CONCEPT.

>> YOU KNOW MIGHT BE WORTH INKING ABOUT YOU KNOW SINCE YOU HAVE THE CHAMPIONSHIP FIELD ACROSS THE STREET LIKE THAT. MAYBE LEFT STREET IS A NEW INTERSECTION THAT PEOPLE WILL TYPICALLY STOP AT AND PEOPLE WILL WALK ACROSS AND IT COULD BEBE, YOU COULD PROBABLY SAFELY PUT IN A CROSSWALK THAT INTERSECTION. OF SOME SORT.

>> THAT SOMETHING WE WILL HAVE TO THINK ABOUT. JUST WHAT THE NUMBER 16 IN THE PROPOSED FIELDS WORKING ON RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE LOOKING AT BASICALLY THAT ENTIRE PARKING LOT BEING USED. IF ARE GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING GOING ON NUMBER 16 THIS WAS 21 AND 17 AT THE SAME TIME. THAT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING

THAT WE WILL HAVE TO LOOK INTO AN ACCOUNT FOR. >> YET AND IT'S A LONG WAY TO WALK FROM 14 ALL THE WAY TO 17 IF YOU'RE HAULING KIDS OF WAGONS AND ORANGE SLICES.

I MEAN YOU COULD DROP OFF AND GO BUT. >> REMIND ME WHAT 21 WAS AGAIN?

[01:50:04]

>> THAT WAS AN EXTENSION OF THE SOCCER FIELDS. >> MOSTLY FREE PLAIN OPEN

SPACE. >> WOULDN'T HURT TO SELECT TRAFFIC DOWN ON RED RIVER ANYWAY. THAT'S A DRAGSTRIP RIGHT NOW. THE DEER WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

>> I CANCEL WE FIRST PRESENTED THE SOCCER FIELD SOMETHING OF THEIR CONCERNS WILL BECAUSE THE HIGH-TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING THROUGH THEIR LEVELS OF COULD POTENTIALLY BALANCE OF THE RED RIVER IN MAKING SURE WE HAD SIGNAGE AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT TO SLOW THE TRAFFIC DOWN.

>> I THINK THE IDEA OF HAVING A PARK RANGER LIKE WE MENTIONED EARLY ON IS HAVING SOME TYPE OF ENFORCEMENT. RIGHT NOW IS KIND OF THE WILD WEST OUT THERE.

DOES ANY OF THIS INTERFERE HAVE TO DO WITH REPROGRAMMING THE DISC GOLF COURSE OR IS THAT

PRETTY MUCH DIRECTED? >> IT'S COMPLETELY UNINTERRUPTED NOW.

>> AWESOME. >> I CAN TELL YOU WE WENT THROUGH THIS WITH ERIN AND CHRISTIAN. WE FELT PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT THEY HAD, THEY WERE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. OVERALL, PATIO FILM ABOUT RIVERSIDE PARK IN THE WAY THAT

THEY PRESENTED IT? >> I THINK IT'S THE RIGHT IDEA TO TAKE FROM THE FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT. HIS OUTLOOK WE NEED TO ENHANCE WHAT WE HAVE.

WE DON'T NEED TO RE-CREATE SOMETHING BRAND-NEW. I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANY APPETITE FOR THAT. BUT, I THINK TO MY MIND THIS IS A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF DOING EXACTLY THAT. SHOWING US SOME THINGS WE COULD DO TO REALLY ENHANCE WHAT'S THERE. AND GET SOME ADDITIONAL UTILITY OUT OF IT.

I REALLY LIKE IT. I LOVE THE EXPANSION OPPORTUNITIES POSSIBLY.

IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO LOOK AT. I THANK YOU'VE GOT, I THANK YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

THAT'S MY FEELING. >> I SEE SOME HEAD NODS OVER HERE.

>> AGREED. >> I CAN'T SEE THAT MUCH.

STEPHANIE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THEY LISTENED ALL THE FEEDBACK

AND EXCITING TO LOOK AT THE POTENTIAL. >> ON NUMBER 9 THE DOG PARK THAT HAVE ITS OWN PARKING INSIDE THE TRIANGLE? YOUR CONTENT BUBBLE?

>> COULD HAVE HAD IN PARKING DIRECTLY OFF OF STATE AVENUE OR SMALL ONE I'LL PARKING LOT.

IT'S PARALLEL TO THE ROAD. >> OBTAINED BECAUSE AS MUCH AS WE HEAR ABOUT IT WE BETTER HAVE SOME PARKING.

PARKING THERE NOW. >> IS THERE? >> YES NORTH OF THE PUMPHOUSE.

THERE'S DECENT SIZE PARKING AREA. >> I THANK YOU'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD GRIPPING THE DIFFERENT USES LIKE FOR EXAMPLE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF GOT THE SPLASH PAD. THE 2 CHILDREN'S AREAS ON ALL THAT ND ACTIVE AREA IN THE NORTH END. I THINK LIKE YOU SAID HAVING TROUBLE WITH 23 AND 29.

BUT, I COULD BE, I NEED SOME FURTHER THOUGHT AND DISCUSSION THINKING ABOUT IT.

>> 29 IS A LITTLE BIT MORE EAST TO WEST VERSUS UP NORTH TO SOUTH.

>> OKAY. I'M GONNA CALL YOU TOMORROW ABOUT THAT.

CONVERSATION ANYWAYS. [LAUGHTER]. ESPECIALLY IS THERE ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT YOU SEE?> THE BALLPARK TO COME INTO THE PARK IS AT CHALLENGER STADIUM OR WHATEVER? IT'S NOT LISTED ON HERE. SECOND A CUL-DE-SAC IN STATE?

>> THAT SHOULD STAY. THAT'S A CHALLENGE AT THE COMPLEX.

>> SO THAT WILL BE THERE? >> YES IT SHOULD BE RIGHT THERE.

>> IT IS TO REMAIN. >> ARE GONNA IMPROVE THAT? >> ALL CURRENT FACILITIES ARE

TO REMAIN. >> WELL I'M SURE THAT'S PART OF THE ASSESSMENT FACILITIES.

I GUESS ERIN WILL BE ABLE TO THAT LITTLE BIT MORE OR EVEN CHRISTIAN.

IS THERE ANY MENTION, YOU 2 FROM UPDATING OR RENOVATING THE CHALLENGED ATHLETES COMPLEX?

>> I HAVE NOT HEARD ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC SERVICE ABOUT THAT.

CHRISTIAN, HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? >> NO.

>> WHAT I CAN TELL Y'ALL IS IF IT'S NOT IN THIS WE ARE WORKING ON A TRIP FACILITIES ASSESSMENT FOR ALL THE PARTS FACILITIES WHICH WOULD INCLUDE THE STADIUMS AND ALL THE FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE AS WELL IS THAT CHALLENGED ATHLETES COMPLEX. IF IT'S NOT ADDRESSED HERE IT

[01:55:05]

WOULD BE ADDRESSED IN A FUTURE PLAN. >> IS ACTUALLY ADDED 3 REVENUE-GENERATING SPOTS. GIVE TO FOOD TRUCK SPOTS THAT WILL GENERATE REVENUE TO AND THE DRIVING RANGE IF IT'S IMPROVED WILL GENERATE A LITTLE BIT OF REVENUE AS WELL.

>> YES. >> AND S'MORE PAVILION STEEL. >> AND THE PAVILIONS WILL 20.

THAT'S GOOD. L ABOUT CHRISTIANS POWERPOINT SLIDE.

GREAT CHRISTIAN? >> EVERYBODY VICTORIA THAT'S READY TO PAY FOR PAVILION

LOOKING OVER THE RIVER. >> LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN HAPPEN YEAH.

>> EVERYONE WE APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION. WE KNOW WE BEEN GOING THROUGH A LOT OF INFORMATION. HOPEFULLY GIVE YOU SOME CONFIDENCE THAT WE ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. AT THE PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN I INDICATED.

HERE WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS YOU SHOULD BE SEEING A COPY AT THAT PHONE NEEDS ASSESSMENT CHAPTER WE ARE GOING TO BE WORKING ON FINE-TUNING AND FINALIZING ALL THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND PREPARING CHAPTER 4, THE RECOMMENDATIONS CHAPTER BY THE END OF THE SUMMER. THE WAY THE PROJECT IS SCHEDULED AT THIS POINT IS THAT AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE SUMMER THAT'S ABOUT THE TIME WE WOULD HAVE ANOTHER ROUND OF PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES AT THAT POINT. LIKELY WE WILL BE REACHING BACK OUT TO YOU DIRECTLY AS WELL.

TALK TO YOU ABOUT I GUESS THE MORE DETAILED LIST OF PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS.

WILL BE WORKING WITH CITY STAFF ON PRIORITIZING CAPITAL INVESTMENTS IN CAPITAL PROJECTS AS PART OF THE ENROLLMENT PRESENTATION PROGRAM. AND BE DRAFTING THE REST OF THE PLAN OR THAT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE SUMMER MOVING INTO THE FALL.

AS WE GET LITTLE BIT FURTHER INTO THE FALL WE WOULD BE REVISITING THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION. HE WILL HAVE AT THAT POINT AND PROVIDED A FULL DRAFT OF THE ENTIRE PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN. AND WILL BE WORKING WITH YOU TO THEN GO THROUGH THE FINAL REVIEW AND PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS WITH CITY COUNCIL BY SOMETIME AND I WOULD SAY ABOUT OCTOBER ACCORDING TO OUR CURRENT SCHEDULE.

AS PROMISED THOUGH I DID WANT TO MENTION THAT WE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT WE PROVIDE YOU A COPY OF THE SLIDE PRESENTATION FROM THIS EVENING SPECIFICALLY TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK THROUGH AND SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME LOOKING AT THE PROVISIONAL STATEMENTS AND THE PROVISIONAL GOLD STATEMENTS AND ALSO THINKING SOME THROUGH THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SUGGESTING THIS PART OF TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION. SO, THAT'S ALL THERE AND THEN I HAVE FOR YOU THIS EVENING. OF COURSE, WE'VE DONE THROUGHOUT THE PRESENTATION IF THERE'S ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE WE'RE CERTAINLY HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE. ASK ANYBODY, ANYBODY HAVE FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING FOR THE FOLKS AT HA1FF? LISTEN, THANK YOU GUYS.

I THINK IT'S BEEN A VERY ENLIGHTENING PRESENTATION. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE OF YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S COMING

ALONG. >> VERY POWERFUL. GREAT JOB.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL FOR ATTENDING. >> THANK YOU.

>> AND WORKING THROUGH THIS WITH US. >> YEAH, I WISH THERE WERE A COUPLE MORE OF US HERE. THAT'S OKAY. I THINK WERE HITTING THE SUMMER

VACATION SEASON OR SOMETHING. >> CAN WE EVEN MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN TO ACCESSORY?

>> CAN EVEN MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? >> NEVER STOP.E'LL HAVE TO

STAY. >> DISCOVERED ONE QUICKLY TENABLE WALK AWAY.

>> I DID, I THINK THAT'S IT. WE HAVE ONE OTHER QUICK REPORT THAT'S WRITTEN WHICH I THINK WE

WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT JASON. IS OKAY WITH YOU? >> GO AHEAD AND CUT THESE GUYS

LOOSE? >> ABSOLUTELY. >> CHRISTIAN, AARON, THINK

Y'ALL BOTH. >> WILL GET THE POWERPOINT SLIDES TO YOU.

[02:00:03]

>> WE APPRECIATE IT. >> GOODBYE. >> WAS SUED TO THE COMMISSION JUST BRIEFLY IS I THINK THE ONLY RATIONAL WAY TO DEAL WITH YOU KNOW A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE TRYING TO WORDSMITH VISION STATEMENT. IF YOU HAVE COMMENTS ABOUT THAT, LET'S MAKE WRITTEN COMMENTS AND KINDA GIVE YOUR REASONS.

I THINK IF WE DO IT THAT WAY IT SHOULD BE A LOT EASIER FOR US TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING EVERYONE CAN LOVE WITH THEN SITTING DOWN AT A MEETING AND EVERYBODY JUST SHOOTING FROM

THE HIP. BACK. >> AGREED.

>> THAT WAY IF YOU LIKE IT YOU CAN JUST LEAVE IT LIKE IT IS. NEXT OKAY, ANYWAY.

THAT'S, WE WILL BE GETTING COPIES OF THE POWERPOINT WORK ON.

[2. Parks and Recreation department Updates]

THAT POINT. >> IF YOU DON'T MIND A QUICK 30 SECONDS AND I THINK WERE ALL GOOD. [LAUGHTER]. FIRST I APPRECIATE Y'ALL SITTING THROUGH THAT AND IT WAS ONE PRESENTATION THAT I FELT LIKE IT WAS WARRANTED.

IT HAD A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION. HE PROVIDED YOU A MONTHLY UPDATE FROM THE DEPARTMENT. FEEL FREE TO TAKE THAT PERSONAL HOMEWORK INVOLVED TO IT.

HOWEVER THERE WAS ANOTHER PIECE OF PAPER I WANTED TO PRESENT TO ALL.

HAS TO DO WITH TREE ORDINANCES. SOMETHING ABOUT UP TO YOU AND THE COMMISSION I BELIEVE LAST TIME BEFORE. ALL THAT IS IS SOME INFORMATION THE PREVIOUS TREE ORDINANCE THAT WE HAD BACK BURNER TO 2017. IF I DON'T HAVE THAT OVER HERE I HANDED OUT TO YOU. ONE IS A VERY, VERY, VERY FIRST VERSION DROPPED OF AN ORDINANCE TO POTENTIALLY LOOK AT RELATED TO TREES. THAT'S ALL.

I WANT TO PRESENT THEM TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTOOD WITHOUT WAS COMING FROM.
