development and the park, and 4) directing the Task Force to try and keep parking separate for the park <br />and the development. <br />Chairperson Ellgas provided details of multi-uses proposed for a Community Center for the Bernal <br />Property. Mr. Wolfe discussed staff's concerns about eliminating Regalia House and not having adequate <br />space for those activities. In a poll of the Commission, it was determined that two (2) would like to see <br />Regalia House remain, while four (4) were open to a joint-use facility. Commissioner Pentin again <br />stressed that scenario 4.1 meant giving up park space and would impact parking. <br />Mr. Wolfe asked if accommodating the parking and building on the footprint of 4.1 and having no <br />parkland affected, would the scenario still be acceptable. Commissioner Pentin felt that if the <br />Commission was going to give a consensus regarding the 4.1 scenario, then Mr. Bocian would need to <br />assure the Commission that it was going to occur. Mr. Wolfe felt that what Mr. Bocian needed to do was <br />go back to the Task Force and express what the Commission was looking for. Mr. Bocian agreed, and felt <br />that the scenario presented retained 4.23 acres of park, not withstanding the .6 acre that was Regalia <br />House and its parking. Mr. Wolfe confirmed that, assuming all issues could be worked out within the <br />footprint, there was support from at least four (4) of the Commissioners for ajoint-use facility. <br />Commissioner Kinzer further discussed the parking issue with staff. <br />Commissioner Dibiase questioned whether the Task Force had been chartered to look at any reallocation <br />of land between the facility and the park. Mr. Bocian advised that they had looked at many options, but <br />there had been concerns about losing visibility and access to the park from Vineyard Avenue. <br />Commissioner Pentin suggested that the next time a Subcommittee is needed, the matter of selecting <br />incumbents be addressed and that incumbents be encouraged to indicate they are anxious to continue <br />serving. <br />Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes <br />October 11, 2007 <br />Page 7 <br />
