Mr. Campbell asked about the difference between the walking path on Exhibit A and <br />Exhibit B. <br /> <br /> Mike Fulford, Landscape Architect, indicated they were the same size and material, but <br />the design was slightly different near the basketball court. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky asked if the four comers had pavers or was it changed to concrete. <br /> <br /> Mr. Fulford said it would still be interlocking pavers. The Parks and Recreation <br />Commission felt strongly that it wanted quality material at the four comers. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala asked if Exhibit A was the same design approved at the time of the <br />Development Agreement approval. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wolfe said this is the master plan developed by the Parks and Recreation <br />Commission. The Development Agreement specified the amount of money to be allocated for <br />the park. Exhibit A represents all the elements the Commission wanted without putting a dollar <br />figure. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala remembered that the $650,000 amount was included in the development <br />agreement because that is what staff estimated the park would cost. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wolfe said at that time staff believed that with $130,000 per acre, a park of this type <br />could be constructed. Today those costs have increased to almost $200,000 per acre. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky asked how much other neighborhood parks have cost recently. <br /> <br /> Mr. Fulford said the most recent parks constructed were Creekside Park and Owens Plaza <br />Park. Creekside was a little larger so there was an economy of scale and cost about $130,000 an <br />acre. Owens Plaza park, which is smaller, cost close to $200,000 per acre. Creekside was <br />constructed in 1999. <br /> <br /> Ms. McKeehan explained that during the course of the development agreement <br />negotiations, there were a number of discussions about park fees. <br /> <br /> Ms. Hostennan thought staffhad said in 2001 that the park would not exceed $650,000. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wolfe said it was the opposite. Staff felt the park would exceed $650,000, but there <br />was a desire to keep that amount and to bid the project to see if it could be built for that amount. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky asked if the Creekside Park had the same elements as this park? <br /> <br /> Mr. Wolfe said there were lighted pathways and a fairly extensive play area. It is the <br />only neighborhood park with a restroom facility, which was specifically requested by the <br />neighbors in the area. There is a sports coua, large tuff area, baseball backstop, sand volleyball <br />court, a number of picnic modules, etc. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 6 12/17/02 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
