October 9, 2014 Item 4 SUBJECT: DISCUSSION REGARDING THE CONCEPT PLAN FOR THE PROPOSED NEW OFF-LEASH DOG PARK PROPOSED FOR THE BERNAL PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THE MARILYN MURPHY KANE TRAIL STAGING AREA SUMMARY At your May 8. 2014 meeting, the Commission selected a preferred site on the Bernal Property for an off-leash dog park (dog park). This site option was subsequently approved by the City Council at its June 17, 2014 meeting during which it also approved an agreement with the Tanaka Design Group to design and prepare construction specifications for the park. Since that time, staff has been working with Tanaka Design Group in developing an understanding of the site and to discuss various design concepts and at this time, the architect and staff are seeking public and Commission comment regarding potential park usage, design, materials and amenities which would be considered as we move to the design phase of the project. To facilitate this discussion, and as an outcome of analysis conducted to date, the architect has prepared a preliminary concept plan which is included as Attachment 1. This plan should not be viewed as a recommended plan, but rather a reflection of thoughts and concepts about the project at this time. Bob Tanaka of Tanaka Design Group will make a presentation at the meeting which will allow for Commission and public feedback.
