<br />DRAFT <br /> <br />Summary of Snecific Plan "Straw Vote" Actions <br /> <br />Tennis Courts <br /> <br />Commissioner Mass supported including tennis courts, which have become extremely popular. <br />She would like to see a phased installation oflights, which would otherwise be harder to install <br />later. She believed that even unlit tennis courts would be a great amenity. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fox would not include tennis courts and believed there were enough public and <br />private tennis facilities in town. <br /> <br />Commissioner Pearce supported tennis courts and did not believe that an acre for six courts was <br />unreasonable, given the amount of organized sports in the City. She believed that unlit tennis <br />courts would be better than no courts at all. <br /> <br />Commissioner Roberts agreed with Commissioner Pearce and added that it was a good sport for <br />adults. <br /> <br />Chairperson Arkin believed that phasing was a financial issue and supported tennis courts. <br /> <br />The straw vote was 4-1 infavor of adding tennis courts. <br /> <br />Swimming Pool <br /> <br />Chairperson Arkin noted that his son was on the Youth Commission and his wife was on the <br />Board of Directors for the YMCA. He would like to see a pool inside one of the buildings but <br />not a separate City aquatic center. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fox noted that the Amador Park was very crowded and that the Aquatic Center <br />was in a tight location. She had heard complaints about the Center being closed to public <br />swimming in the evenings due to swim team practices or lessons. She supported an indoor pool <br />but not a full aquatic center. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mass noted that she was not sold on the location and believed people near Santa <br />Rita Road would not be able to use it. She supported open space in the Bernal Property rather <br />than a pool. <br /> <br />Commissioner Roberts did not want to add an outdoor pool, but indicated that ifthe YMCA <br />wanted to add one, she would support that. <br /> <br />Commissioner Pearce agreed with Commissioner Roberts' concerns. <br /> <br />The straw vote was 3-2 in favor of adding an indoor swimming pool to the potential <br />Youth/Community Center facility. <br /> <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> <br />April 26, 2006 <br />
