hearings on the Phase II Specific Plan and the Community Park Master Plan if Council <br /> ultimately decided to submit both Plans to a vote of the community. He said Council did <br /> not need to make this decision right now. He did not believe it was necessary for the <br /> plans to stay together after the environmental review report is certified. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky seemed to recall that Council discussed that all components of the <br /> Phase II Specific Plan for the entire 318-acre City-owned area will require a Planned <br /> Unit Development (PUD). <br /> <br /> Mr. Rasmussen verified that Council did discuss requiring all components of the <br /> Phase II Specific Plan for the entire 318-acre City-owned area to have a PUD. <br /> <br /> When Council approved the two lighted baseball fields for $4.2 million dollars, <br /> Ms. McGovern assumed that was all of the money that is available at this time for the <br /> community park. <br /> <br /> Mr. Fialho noted that there are $4.5 million dollars currently available. <br /> <br /> If Council is to combine these processes, Ms. McGovern asked if it would affect <br /> the development of the Community Park because there are no additional funds available <br /> at this time. <br /> <br /> Mr. Fialho said that by merging the Community Park into the broader Bernal <br /> Property Specific Plan process, the City is not delaying the construction of the baseball <br />- fields. He noted that Council will conclude the planning process before staff is able to <br /> make an additional allocation to the Community Park project. He believed this would <br /> create a fast track for the Community Park because it wraps it into a defined process <br /> that has been laid out for the remainder of the Park. <br /> <br /> Ms. McGovern pointed out that the Initiative To Save Our Community Park <br /> provides for a 30-50 acre community park. The Initiative also mentioned that other uses <br /> could be included in the Community Park besides sports fields. She asked when these <br /> decisions were made and at what point was it determined to require ten lighted sports <br /> fields, as she seemed to recall that the 30-50 acre community park included eight lighted <br /> sports fields. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wolfe said there have been three design plans for the 50-acre Community <br /> Park. The original design included a community center, amphitheater and lighted sports <br /> fields. The Council at that time directed staff to have the Task Force simply look at <br /> lighted sports fields. The second design included the recommendation of the Task <br /> Force to the Parks and Recreation Commission for ten lighted sports fields. When M.D. <br /> Fotheringham presented its proposal for the design competition, it included ten lighted <br /> sports fields that were included in the second plan that was developed by the Task <br /> Force and supported by the Parks and Recreation Commission. The actual requirement <br /> of the design competition included a minimum of eight lighted sports fields. <br /> <br /> Ms. McGovern asked if Council has voted on whether the Community Park would <br /> be 50 acres and that it would include ten lighted sports fields? <br /> <br /> Mr. Fialho said no. <br /> <br /> Pleasanton City Council 7 02/15/05 <br /> Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
