On January 10, 2019, staff presented the concept alternatives to the Parks and Recreation Commission. The Commission commented as follows: • asked about sloping the lawn towards the bandstand, which the consultant said was likely not feasible due to the creek • wanted to create a signature entrance at Neal Street and First Street with specialty paving and a monument • had concerns about safety in the street • wanted to make sure the bandstand had vehicular access for performances • requested boulders on the slope to the creek to provide creek access • asked about the possibility of moving the bandstand to the north side of Lions Wayside Park • asked about the design of the creek • recommended Option B and to maximize the lawn/concert viewing space. Following the meeting with the Parks and Recreation Commission, staff and the consultants amended the schematic designs to align with feedback from the Commission and prepared for a subsequent meeting to solicit additional feedback from the necessary regulatory agencies on the refined designs. Creek Hydrology In May 2019, City staff received notice from MIG that, in preliminary conversations with staff at the RWQCB, the project would not be supported by the regional permitting agency. The RWQCB stipulated that the reduced flow in the area of Kottinger Creek within Lions Wayside Park was a result of a previous diversion by the City, routing water from Kottinger Creek to the Arroyo Del Valle. This stipulation was based on the Water Board's interpretation of mapping data provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) that mistakenly showed a flow diversion from Kottinger Creek to the Arroyo Del Valle, which had been published in the National Hydrology Dataset and made available through the USGS and the California Department of Water Resources. City staff reviewed the data and demonstrated to the USGS that the information presented in its dataset did not accurately reflect the conditions of water flowing through Kottinger Creek. USGS then amended its mapping data. Once the error had been corrected, City staff and consultants met with the RWQCB to address its concerns. While RWQCB staff acknowledged that the City provided the necessary documentation to disprove their theory about the diverted waterway, the RWQCB determined that a hydrology study of the area of Kottinger Creek within Lions Wayside Park would be necessary to adequately assess any proposed changes to the channel. In addition to the need for the hydrology study, the City purchased properties at 4363 and 4377 First Street with the expectation to incorporate the properties into the Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks design. On January 21 , 2020, City Council approved an amendment to the agreement with MIG to include the hydrology study and the newly purchased First Street properties into the design. Page 5 of 8
