• All three (3) of the multi-use fields should be designed to accommodate soccer, lacrosse, rugby and football. As such, the field dimensions should be as large as the site and setbacks will allow to provide maximum flexibility of use. • Permanent pads should be provided for the storage of soccer and/or football goals. • Ensure that trail connections to Bernal Avenue, Valley Avenue and surrounding residential developments are made through the adjacent open space, consistent with the Trails Master Plan. • Develop portions, or all of the Oak Woodland open space area, and where possible, encourage riparian or "creek style" drainage for major water runoff areas (multi-use fields). • Explore the design of "terraced seating" for major spectator areas near the premier multi-use field. • Consider incorporating one or more areas within the park for small- scale design elements that could be built or funded by the Rotary Club or other local service organizations. Although the Plan was approved by the Commission in 2009, at the direction of the City Manager it was not forwarded or presented to the City Council for its review due to significant project budget constraints that had become evident. The Draft Schematic Plan has been revised to incorporate the recommendations listed above and was reviewed and approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission at its meeting on August 23, 2012. The design of Phase II generally follows the Master Plan design that was prepared by M. D. Fotheringham, Landscape Architect, which was approved by the Council in May, 2006. PROJECT DESCRIPTION As now envisioned, Phase II will develop approximately 15 acres of parkland immediately north of Phase I, and include the construction of three (3) all-weather lighted synthetic fields suitable for soccer, football, rugby or lacrosse; three (3) parking areas with a total capacity of approximately 212 vehicles; a food concessions building and public restrooms in a central plaza area, group picnic area, a generous children's play apparatus area, Maintenance Division storage building, lighted pathways, landscaping, and other related amenities. In addition, improvements tc a portion or all of the adjacent Oak Woodland open-space area are planned. As with other phased City projects, an emphasis will be placed upon maintaining an overall design theme so that all phases of the project will appear to have been constructed at one time, and reflect the vision of the project's original landscape Page 3 of 6
