the dog amenities described are not widely used in many of the parks she has visited and suggested that be located off to the side rather than in the middle of the park. She asked that the Council consider including a second shade structure in an effort to keep out personal additions like the plastic patio chairs that users have brought to the Muirwood Park. Vice-Mayor Brown asked staff to share a sample of the Fibar product at the next public meeting. Alex Elterman expressed concern over how development has impacted the quality of life in what was once a nice small turn. He asked the Council to consider how increasing the intensity of use here would affect his neighborhood, which is already over parked and overburdened with traffic. Mr. Gollnick stated that traffic getting in and out of his neighborhood is already untenable and that the residential streets are burdened with overflow parking from trail users and fairground events. He expressed the same concern over how this use, particularly in combination with the other potential uses that might come out of Measure P, would further burden residents. He suggested that the city at least install and enforce some residential parking restrictions in the area. Vice-Mayor Brown closed public comment. MOTION: It was m/s by Pentin/Olson to approve the Conceptual Plan, as proposed. Vice-Mayor Brown requested a friendly amendment to raise the fence height to 4 feet and second shade structure within the large dog park. Councilmember Pentin agreed, with the potential for additional parking and a second shade structure if needed. Councilmember Olson concurred. Councilmember Narum said she was inclined to include the additional parking, based on her own experience with how heavily used both the existing trail and Muirwood's dog park are. She said that, at minimum, she would like to see the construction drawings prepared with the option for each. She also supported increasing the fence height from 3.5 to 4 feet. Vice-Mayor Brown thanked the public for coming to share their concerns. She said she was very pleased to be able to meet the increasing need for dog parks within the community with such a high end product. MOTION: It was m/s by Pentin/Olson to approve the Conceptual Plan, amended to increase the fence height from 3.5 to 4 feet and to include additional parking and a second shade structure as add alternates to the project bid; authorized Tanaka Design Group to complete the design and construction bid specifications/documents for the dog park and for staff to identify funding option to be included in the 2015/16 Capital Improvement Program.
