The roll call vote was taken was follows: AYES: Councilmembers -Brozosky, McGovern, Sullivan, and Mayor Hosterman NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None It was moved by Mr. Sullivan to eliminate the outdoor amphitheater from the 45-acre location where the sports fields are currently planned to be located. Mayor Hosterman asked what would happen if Council were to discover that there is an opportunity to locate the outdoor amphitheater in this area in such a way that it would not interfere with the quality of life of the existing neighbors? Mr. Sullivan said he would be willing to consider a concept plan that places the outdoor amphitheater near the train station. He would not support a concept plan that placed the outdoor amphitheater anywhere within the western fringe of the Community Park. The motion died due to lack of a second. Mr. Sullivan believed Council was responding to the arts and sports community but not to the neighboring residents. Ms. McGovern believed it would be appropriate to entertain a motion to direct staff to prepare a concept plan for the outdoor amphitheater that must take into consideration the sensitivity of the neighborhood so that sound is not amplified into these people's homes. Mayor Hosterman wanted to wait and see what the concept of an outdoor amphitheater would look like and what kind of measurable impact it would have on this neighborhood. Mr. Fialho said this underscores the approach that staff hopes to take as this process winds down and is headed to the ballot for voter consideration. Staff will take the time to understand view shed analysis and noise attenuation issues. The goal is conceptually that this is what it would look like and the Specific Plan would identify the various uses that are important for that site. From there, the City would have maximum flexibility over the years to slightly adjust things based on need, concerns and funding. City Council Special Meeting 5 05/12/05
