Cl ITEM NUMBER: D - 1 DATE: 09/09/2004 Atascadero Parks & Recreation Commission Staff Report — Community Services George C. Beatie Skate Park Conceptual Plan RECOMMENDATION: Commission approve the final conceptual plan for the new design of the George C. Beatie Skate Park. REPORT -IN -BRIEF: The City of Atascadero awarded the Skate Park Consultant Contract to Purkiss Rose — RSI on June 15, 2004. The consultant portion of the contract included two public workshops that were held on July 28, 2004 and August 17, 2004. On September 9, 2004, the Purkiss Rose - RSI design team will present the final conceptual plan and construction cost estimates to the community, user groups and the Parks & Recreation Commission for final approval. The design team will also review construction costs. DISCUSSION: On February 20, 2003 and April 17, 2003 Staff presented a conceptual drawing for an interim Master Plan for Traffic Way Park, which included the relocation of the Skate Park. During the June 19, 2003 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, Staff recommended approval of the Interim Master Plan for the Traffic Way Park. Subsequently, the skate park Request For Proposals (RFP) went out to bid and the firm of Purkiss Rose — RSI was awarded the Skate Park Consultant Contract. The Purkiss Rose - RSI design team facilitated the first public workshop on July 28, 2004. At this workshop the design team met with the Skate Park Design Committee, the community members, local skaters and City Staff. The scope of services, design processes and timelines were explained. The design team guided the participants through an input session and reviewed site opportunities, developed a vocabulary of design ideas, modular equipment and possible components (elements) of the park. The design team presented types of modular equipment and layouts to help visualize the potential skate park. ITEM NUMBER: D - 1 DATE: 09/09/2004 Using the information obtained at the first workshop, the design team explored functional and visual relationships of the proposed skate park by looking at layout and orientation components, safety zones, security, grading concepts, circulation of pedestrians and proposed park improvements, etc. Modular equipment, construction components, drainage devices, materials and site amenities was presented to staff for review and input. Based on this input, the alternatives were refined and presented at the second workshop. At the second workshop on Augutst 17, 2004, the design team presented the design alternatives, equipment and skate park layout plans with support sketches. Two conceptual designs were presented: Concept Plan A and Concept Plan B. Concept Plan A included all the requests that were addressed at the first workshop which included a two tier concrete slab and a bowl for a total cost of $377, 648.70. Concept Plan B was a modified version that deleted the two-tier concrete slab and bowl. The total cost of Concept Plan B was $219, 772.30. Both of these concept plans do not include the cost of the modular equipment. Staff reviewed the two concept plans and requested the Purkiss Rose - RSI design team to design two versions of a Concept Plan C — C-1 include modular equipment and C-2 exclude modular equipment. The Purkiss Rose - RSI design team will present the Concept Plan C at the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting on Thursday, September 9, 2004. FISCAL IMPACT: $150,000 budgeted for the new Skate Park. ALTERNATIVES: Additional costs related to this project will be covered through donations and fundraisers solicited by Community Services Staff and the local skaters. Recommend the Skate Park be built in phases. Optional lease plan for the modular equipment is available through U.S. Communities — GE Capital Public Finance, Inc. ATTACHMENTS: Attachment #1- Concept Plan A Attachment #2- Concept Plan B ITEM NUMBER: D - 2 DATE: 09/09/2004 Atascadero Parks & Recreation Commission Staff Report — Community Services Department Request to include a BMX Track on the Anza Park Site RECOMMENDATION: Parks and Recreation Commission consider that a Bicycle Moto -Cross Track be added to the open space and future Anza Park property to be dedicated to the City as part of Tentative Tract Map 2498. It is recommended that the BMX Track proposal receive an archeological and environmental review and be considered for inclusion in the park master planning process for the entire Anza Park site, including the adjacent Water Company property. DISCUSSION: Background: The developer's project was considered and approved by the City Council at their meeting of December 9, 2003. A portion of the Community Development Department's staff report for the item of that meeting is attached for Commission background information. The project includes a 45.9 acre open space parcel along the Salinas River that will help protect the riparian areas. Included in the open space is an area on the southeast portion of the property that the City Council approved for an equestrian arena, parking lot and the continuation and linking of the Juan Bautista De Anza Trail with the Water Company segment of the trail on their property. This location is the site requested for consideration for the BMX track. Summary: The Parks and Recreation Commission meeting of June 17`", 2004, the Parks and Recreation reviewed a request to add a BMX Track to the open space near the equestrian arena. The Commission decided to table the consideration of the request pending the investigation of a number of issues and questions raised at he meeting. As the Parks and Recreation Commission is aware, there is a need for a BMX track in the North County, as the Santa Margarita BMX track is scheduled to close. Community Services department staff have been working with representatives of the BMX Association, equestrian group, Amigos De Anza among others to explore the possible use of the southern park property for a potential BMX track. At this point, neither the City Council nor the property owner has approved the property for such a use. However, at a meeting held on May 13th, 2004 with representatives from the equestrian community, Amigos de Anza and the parents from the BMX association, preliminary work indicates that the Anza Trail, parking lot, equestrian arena and BMX track may all fit into the space under consideration for the improvements. The compatibility of the proposed BMX track with the nearby homes is not easily evaluated. However, the proposed track would be very close to the new homes, and the developer has indicated to city staff that he would prefer other options for the track be fully considered, before the decision is made to locate the track next the housing development. Analysis: It now appears that the BMX track, the equestrian arena, parking lot and the Anza Trail can all be fit onto the site. However, a couple of issues have emerged which require further evaluation and discussion before a decision can be made about the suitability of track for the site. The proximity of the proposed track to nearby homes is a also concern, as is the need for a holistic, master plan process for planning improvements for this parkland and the pending acquisition of the adjacent Water Company land for park uses. Several issues and questions raised by the Parks and Recreation Commission such as safety and liability issues, responsibility for track construction and on-going maintenance, dust control, access to water, adequate parking, access to the track by the general public and potential future lighting for the track (and equestrian arena) have all been addressed by the Friends of Atascadero BMX and the staff. We feel that we have made significant progress on most of the aforementioned issues. Staff will outline these issues in the oral presentation. The Friends of Atascadero BMX will also address them with the Commission. Discussions continue with the Water Company for a potential lease for adjacent property on the south that progressing well. The Water Company property is a potential location for more parking and athletic fields, such as football and soccer. With more consideration, this property may be a more suitable location for the BMX track. Since the Commission meeting when the BMX track was introduced, many of the issues of concern raised at the meeting have been satisfactorily evaluated. The issues requiring more study include the archeological and environmental questions, and the desirability to look at all the park property together and develop park plans with all of the potential stakeholders and public input. Conclusion: City staff recommends taking public comment on the proposed addition of BMX track and the potential alternatives. Discussion of any additional design alternatives including the use of the Water Company property should be explored. The environmental investigations can begin immediately. Final determinations on the use of the property can be made when the environmental findings are known, the adjacent property is secured and public hearings can be held to consider the BMX track with all other potential future uses of the property. FISCAL IMPACT: None at this time. Property improvements will be made by the developer and user groups. ALTERNATIVES: a) Approve the BMX track on the property to be dedicated to the City by the developer as previously proposed. b) Include only the recreational features on the park property approved by the Council, and continue looking for other more suitable locations for a BMX track, including the Water Company Property.
