THE CITY OF Parks and Recreation Commission 1'til Staff Report pLEASANTONC June 12, 2014 Item 4 SUBJECT: REVIEW OF SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MAIN STREET GREEN PARK SUMMARY To commemorate the 50-year anniversary of Rotary Club International's presence in Pleasanton, the City plans to develop Main Street Green Park and to possibly rename it: "Rotary Park." A detailed Schematic Plan has been created for the development of Main Street Green Park, which roughly follows the Master Plan that was adopted in 2002 (Downtown Parks and Trails System Master Plan). The Schematic Plan, prepared by the City's Landscape Architectural consultant, Keller Mitchell and Company, was developed with the support and suggestions from the Rotary Clubs of Pleasanton, the Pleasanton Downtown Association and the City Parks Maintenance Division. The Commission is asked to review and consider the proposed design of the Park and to make any comments or suggestions it deems appropriate before presenting the project to the City Council. STAFF RECOMMENDATION That the Parks and Recreation Commission take the following actions: 1. Review the schematic design for Main Street Green Park; 2. Receive feedback from the park's adjacent neighborhood and the community at- large regarding the schematic design for Main Street Green Park; 3. If applicable, provide staff with suggestions or direction for its modification; and 4. Recommend approval of the Schematic plan to the City Council. FINANCIAL STATEMENT Based upon the preliminary cost opinion prepared by the City's Landscape Architectural Consultant, it is anticipated that the total cost for the development of Main Street Green Park will be approximately $420,000. Funding for the construction will be through the Community Park Improvement and Acquisition Reserve, and the Clock Tower will be acquired through a generous donation (approximately $25,000) from the Rotary Clubs of Pleasanton.
