Mr. Bocian confirmed that there will be high quality fixtures for the bathrooms. He indicated that porcelain was used for Delucchi Park but stainless steel for the Bernal Park bathrooms, not so much to save money as for the ease of maintenance and how well the fixtures hold up. Commissioner Blank inquired if 35 photovoltaic panels were enough to make the building energy neutral during the day. Ms. Griffin replied that the applicants are proposing the panels primarily to provide energy for the scoreboards, for the fountain, and for the electric vehicle charging stations and that the 35 panels would address these items. She added that there is a condition of approval requiring the roof to be photovoltaic-ready and another condition that additional panels may be added and would not need to return for the Commission's review and approval if they are flat-mounted. Commissioner Blank noted that there will be four pre-wired stations for electrical and inquired how staff arrived at this number. Ms. Giffin replied that most of the requirements shown for bike racks and carpool spaces come from LEED guidelines, based off of a percentage of the maximum peak number of people anticipated to participate in activities at the Center. Commissioner Blank inquired whether sprinklers in areas of the park will be radio- controlled with GPS monitoring. Mr. Fulford replied that the City currently has a very efficient central irrigation control system that includes weather stations in three locations in town that monitor wind speed and rain. He added that it is a very efficient system and that the Park will be part of that system. Commissioner Blank noted that one of the conditions of approval mentions the Airport Protection Area and the Airport General Plan. He indicated that language be included disclosing the proposed Airport Safety Area as well Commissioner Olson noted that Ms. Giffin indicated that staff received two comments in support of and two comments in opposition to the project. He pointed out that the last time the Commission reviewed the project, the room was packed and there was overwhelming support in the community for this facility. He stated that he was surprised and did not realize there was so much interest for hockey in the community. He requested clarification regarding the condition relating to the sports bar that alcohol would not be served between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. unless otherwise allowed in the park lease. Mr. Bocian indicated that no discussion has been made regarding this condition other than there would be no alcohol service during those hours.
