City Manager Fialho referred to what the site's long term look would be, and said this would be included into the maintenance standards and design requirements for the site. They can either take on the obligation of maintenance as a City, or if an agreement is secured with the Sharks, require them to maintain the parking sites. Councilmember McGovern questioned the number of acres for parking, and Mr. Ferber said both areas together are 2.5 acres and the ice facility building area and permanent parking is 3.2 acres. The building is about 140,000 square feet, and the permanent parking area represents 215 spaces in paved and an additional 146 grass paved, which is adequate except for special events. Mr. Bocian said staff would work on the special events with the Sharks through their ground lease, or the other option would be to preclude those types of uses. However, there have been situations where hotels provide shuttles which would minimize impacts for large events. Councilmember Cook-Kallio confirmed this would limit the amount of paved parking, the purpose of which would meet the parking requirements without requiring paving and softening of the area. Councilmember McGovern voiced the importance of shade structures and confirmed with Mr. Ferber that there were a total of three shade structures with multiple tables under each and there would be individual picnic tables and benches throughout the park. He said there is the opportunity to place shade structures in the dog exercise area as well. Councilmember McGovern said she wanted access for the neighborhood that ends at West Los Positas in order to get into the park by both foot and bike. She confirmed with the City Manager that Staples Ranch Road dead-ends into the property and that staff has spoken to CLC about bringing a pedestrian path beyond that road. Councilmember McGovern questioned if staff has discussed requiring the building to be solar, and City Manager said they have not officially had discussions but agreed it is a great idea. Mayor Hosterman agreed it was also a good idea for the bulk of the buildings to be developed. Vice Mayor Thorne referred to Legend Item 23, a trailhead not on the drawing, and he confirmed its location. He said if the Council were to direct staff to include a restroom in the northern-most portion, he confirmed with Mr. Wolfe that its location would need to be identified within the neighborhood park. Mayor Hosterman opened the item for public comment. Scott Raty congratulated the Council and staff on a thoughtful process, supported the development of a first-class public recreation amenity, said an ice facility can create new tax revenue, over 200 new jobs, an estimated $4 million of economic impact to the Valley, and the Chamber of Commerce urges the Council to approve the plan and meet with the Sharks. Chase Prestone & Nick Powers said they play hockey on the Tri-Valley Blue Devils, spoke in favor of the new rink, its close location, enhanced safety and asked for the ice facility's approval.
