Lindley, Director of Community Services DATE: August 12, 1999 (CC Meeting of August 18, 1999) SUBJECT: Consider Conceptual Master Plan for Arroyo Vista Community Park Phase II SUMNIARY The City Council is being asked to approve the proposed conceptual Master Plan for AVCP Phase II (Attachment A). The proposed Plan has received community input and been reviewed and discussed by the Parks and Recreation Commission. The Commission has approved the Plan and is forwarding its recommendation to the City Council for consideration. BACKGROUND In October 1998, the City Council awarded a contract to Takata and Associates to prepare a conceptual master plan for AVCP Phase II. The contract's scope of work included identifying uses for the undeveloped portion of the Park (the area east of the football field), as well as potential changes (relocation and /or elimination) of uses /amenities within the Park's developed areas. In drafting plan options for consideration, Takata was asked to reserve space to expand the gym-and recreation center, which is-.a concept that was a part of the original Arroyo Vista Community Park conceptual. design. The potential new /additional sports and recreational amenities Takata was asked to consider covered a wide range of interests including, but not limited to: various sports fields, aquatic facilities, a running trail, skatepark, bicycle motor cross (BMX), basketball courts, sand or grass volleyball, passive park areas, picnic amenities, play lots, an outdoor band - shell, an additional restroom /concession building, and added parking spaces. \ \MOR_PRI_SERV\ home _folders \MLindley \PARKS \avcp master plan ccagd.doc To assist with the task of identifying the needs and desires of the community and potential park users, the Parks and Recreation Commission held two special meetings, coordinated by Takata and Associates. These meetings, held on February 24 and April 12, 1999, were conducted in a workshop -type setting and were specifically designed to solicit input from the community on a Master Plan for AVCP Phase II. A number of Moorpark youth sports organizations were well represented at the meetings, along with youth and adults not necessarily affiliated with any formal groups. The most heavily requested amenities were for more youth sports fields, specifically soccer and softball, and for the retention of, at a minimum, the existing football field and football practice area. Additionally, there was also a request from Moorpark Little League for five baseball fields (this is the minimum number needed to move its operation to AVCP from Chaparral Middle School and Poindexter Park where five fields are currently used). There were also a number of requests for a permanent skatepark facility (for skateboarders and in -line skaters) and a dirt BMX track. Several Moorpark teens expressed a strong interest in these two amenities as 'safe and challenging alternatives to the impromptu use of public and private hardscape and landscape areas. There were also a couple of requests for amenities that would support interests of senior citizens, specifically bocce ball, lawn bowling, and horse shoes. There was very limited interest in setting aside a specific area of the park for passive uses. A summary of each meeting has been attached to this Agenda Report (Attachment B and C). As a result of the input provided through the workshops, Takata and Associates developed a proposed conceptual plan for discussion and consideration by the Parks and Recreation Commission at its June 7 meeting. With minor exceptions, the relocation of the existing tot lot, picnic pavilion, and football practice field, the proposed conceptual plan retains all of the Park's existing amenities in their current locations. It also provides for additional soccer fields, one additional softball field, a second restroomlconcession building, skatepark, BMX track, an additional picnic pavilion and tot lot, an aquatic center, expansion of the gym and recreation center, a running trail, and additional parking areas throughout the park. In considering which activities to locate at AVCP, the Commission took into consideration the feasibility of relocating existing amenities, space constraints, parking needs generated by the various activities, and the general community acceptance of specific activities at a community park versus a neighborhood park. The four large youth sports organizations (AYSO, Girls Softball, Packer Football, and Little League) all require parking in excess 000004 of what can typically be accommodated at a neighborhood park. Little League is able to use parking behind Mission Bell Plaza and Chaparral School, and is therefore not solely dependent on the Poindexter Park parking lot. The Roller Hockey League also generates participation levels that require a number of parking spaces. The proposed Master Plan successfully provides for all of the youth sport interest addressed at the workshops, with the exception of baseball fields. Moorpark Little League has indicated that it would need at least five fields at AVCP in order to move its base of operation. Incorporating five new baseball fields was not feasible without eliminating additional soccer fields, skatepark, and a BMX track proposed in the undeveloped portion of the park. Additionally, the Plan does not include the amenities requested by the senior citizens. Due to the lack of space and the nature of a "community park ", it was the Commission's suggestion that those amenities (lawn bowling and horse shoes) be considered for one of the neighborhood parks at a future date, since these activities would not generate significant parking demands and are generally more acceptable 'in residential areas. The Commission spent considerable time discussing the feasibility of a BMX track. Discussions included a formal competitive track, operated and maintained by a private group, versus a non- competitive track to be operated and maintained by the City. Rancho Simi Recreation and Parks District has a competitive BMX facility in one of its public parks. The Park District has a contractual arrangement with a private ion- profit group that built the BMX facility and now operates and maintains it. The facility is open to the public during certain hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday - 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Sundays, 11 a.m. to dusk. On Wednesdays the facility is open for practices, and on the other three days races are held. The cost for an individual to use the facility includes an annual fee of $35.00 and a daily use fee of $9.00 for Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, and $4.00 on Wednesdays. The facility is supervised at all times when it is open and riders must wear appropriate safety equipment. There are other public park agencies that provide competitive BMX facilities with similar arrangements. Takata and,Associates and City staff were unable to identify any public agencies operating a non- competitive BMX track. The idea behind the non - competitive track is to provide a drop -in type of facility that is free and non supervised. The facility could be fenced in to prevent its use at night and when the park is closed, and it would be constructed and maintained by the City. It would serve the purpose of providing BMX riders with a constructive place to participate in the sport. This arrangement is similar to the a����':� way most skateparks are provided for in public parks. As a note of interest, some public skateparks are open to BMX riders. Like its position on skateparks, the Joint Powers Insurance Authority (JPIA) recommends that BMX facilities, owned and operated by public agencies, be designed and constructed by professionals, unrestricted by a surrounding fence, free of any fees, and unsupervised. The JPIA believes that both skateparks and BMX facilities should be treated like any other park amenity- While a track operated and maintained by a private group could help serve the same purpose, they must typically set limited hours, supervise use, and charge at least a nominal fee. These types of arrangements are usually not compatible with impromptu uses, and therefore may be less likely to significantly reduce the use of non designated BMX facilities (private and public areas) . During its deliberations, the Commission discussed some of its reservations regarding the BMX track. Those reservations centered around the level of noise such a facility might generate and potential impacts on the residents who live at the top. of the slope, south of the park. Additionally, some Commissioners indicated that they did not favor park facilities at which a fee might be required, but rather preferred a track where park users could come and go during times when the park is open at no cost. At the conclusion of its discussion, the Commission expressed a strong desire to address the needs of BMX riders. As a part of its final recommendation, . the Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously agreed to designate an' area in the currently undeveloped portion of AVCP for a non - competitive BMX track. Additionally, it requested that staff look further into the feasibility of such a track including maintenance costs and man - hours, potential hours of operations, facility rules, and insurance /liability issues. In the event it was later determined that such a facility was not feasible, the Commission wanted to designate the area as a passive /picnic area. Attached to this Agenda Report are estimates for construction costs associated with the completion of AVCP as identified in the proposed Master Plan (Attachment D). RECOMMENDATION The Parks and Recreation Commission and staff recommend that the City Council approve the conceptual Master Plan for AVCP Phase II as presented in this Agenda Report.

Lindley, Director of Community Services -n� DATE: April 20, 1997 (CC Meeting of May 7) SUBJECT: Consider Request for Arroyo Vista Community Park Conceptual Design Proposals Executive Summary The City Council is being asked to confirm an earlier direction to proceed with the conceptual design of Arroyo Vista Community Park Phase II. It is recommended that the Council indicate its desire to develop a Request For Proposals (RFP) and direct staff to solicit proposals 'from landscape architects. Background The original Master Plan for Arroyo Vista Community Park (AVCP) was adopted in 1989 and called for a 69 acre park to be built in eight phases (see attachment A). In 1992 the City Council took action to reduce the scope of the Park Plan and to redefine its development phasing into two phases as follows: all developed park land is considered phase I (excluding the temporary football field) and the undeveloped land is now considered Phase II. While a significant portion of phase I is now complete, there are several projects left to be done: • Second Basketball court (gymnasium extension) • Additional meeting room • Fully equipped kitchen • Ballfield lights on the north softball field ($70,000) Aquatics Facility ($2 million) • Playground equipment for preschool aged children ($45,000) CADOCSICOMSERV\A VCPLI..AGD CCC `_s - AVCP Phase II Conceptual Design 2 Third softball field ($35,000) Lights for third softball field ($70,000) In July, 1995, the City Council directed staff to "develop a proposed funding plan and recommended priorities for completion of AVCP, and reconcile phasing plans with the conceptual master plan ". In September 1995, staff worked with the Parks and Recreation Commission to create a Master List of desirable park features and elements. The process of creating the List included input from residents, community groups, and sports groups. The List was broken down into short term, intermediate, and long term improvements. The List was included in a March 14, 1996, Agenda Report that is being provided as an attachment to this report (see attachment B). In that Report, staff also identified its concerns and suggestions regarding the Commission's List, which are still valid. In June, 1996, as a part of the 1996/97 budget process, the City Council allocated $10,000 for a landscape architect to develop a conceptual design for Phase II. This action was taken prior to Proposition 218 which is expected to hamper the City's ability to fund ongoing park maintenance. An eventual outcome of decreased funding for park maitenance could lead to the consolidation of park use and, as a result, a greater emphasis placed on the use of AVCP. Therefore, even in light of Proposition 218, staff recommends that the Council elect to proceed with the conceptual design of AVCP Phase II so that the City can better plan for future park development and the resulting maintenance costs. Based on input from the Parks and Recreation Commission, the public, past comments from the City Council, and staff s suggestions, it is recommended that a landscape architect be retained to develop a conceptual design for AVCP Phase II which includes or takes into consideration the following: the Park Features and Elements List developed by the Parks and Recreation Commission, and installation of basketball poles (up to eight) and the addition of basketball court striping on the Multi- Purpose Court (City would still look for financial assistance from MBA). In regards to the football field, staff is requesting direction from the City Council as to the permanent location of the football field, which will then be included in the Scope of Work for the conceptual design of AVCP Phase II. As you may recall, on March 13, 1996, the City Council authorized the construction of the football field as a temporary facility in an effort to accommodate Packer Football League, at a cost to be primarily borne by the League (see Attachment Q. The original Park Master Plan Design showed the football field area as an open sports field, which is not entirely inconsistent with a football field. The direction requested of the City Council is whether the current location of the football field should be considered as a permanent facility, and therefore the conceptual design plan would reflect the direction, or to C:\DOCS\COMSERV\AVCPLL.AGD ® ®O®IG AVCP Phase II Conceptual Design 3 allow the landscape architect to explore alternative locations in the Park for Council consideration. If the later option is selected, it would be assumed that the football field would remain at is present location until a replacement facility was built at a location in the Park consistent with the final approved conceptual plan. Staff proposes that the Council allow for the consideration of alternative locations in the Park for the permanent location of the football field. Secondly, in regards to the proposal submitted by the Moorpark Tennis Club, staff recommends that the Phase II conceptual design include the construction of 8 to 12 lit tennis courts independent of whether or not the City and the Club enter into an agreement on the management and/or operation of the courts. Those types of decisions should be made at a later time. What is improtant in regards to the conceptual design, is to determine the feasibility and best overall placement of tennis courts at build out. Staff also plans to include consideration of the School District's suggestion that it build four courts on or adjacent to its property north of its football stadium and the Park access road and adjacent to the District's future parking lot. This specific location may be limited since there is a sewer line and a storm drain line.in that immediate area. Staff proposes using the RFP prepared for Poindexter Park, and approved by the City Council, as a model for AVCP Phase II. Appropriate modifications will be made to reflect the specific requirements of AVCP. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council: Reconfirm its desire to proceed with the conceptual design for AVCP Phase II and direction to hire a landscape architect, at a cost not to exceed $10,000; Direct staff to prepare a Request For Proposal, incorporating the components identified in the agenda report including the option to allow for the consideration of alternative locations for the football field in the Park; and Authorize staff to solicit proposals from landscape architects.

This report summarizes the Commission's recommendation, and provides the Council with additional information, prepared by staff. BACKGROUND: The City Council adopted a set of goals and objectives for the City in July, 1995 for 1995/96. As part of the goals for the Community Services Department, the Council directed that staff " develop a proposed funding plan and recommended priorities for completion of Arroyo Vista Community Park, and reconcile phasing plans with conceptual master plan." On Sep-,einber 20, 1995, staff presented the City Council with an action plan to address this goal, which was approved by the City Council. This action plan included six steps: 1. 3. As a Commission, create a possible "wish list" of park features and elements for further exploration. This list would not necessarily be contingent upon available funding. Instead, the list would consist of features that the Commission has deemed important to include, which, in their opinion, would best meet the current and future needs of Moorpark. Invite community residents, including representatives from neighborhoods, community groups, and sports groups to future Commission meetings, to provide input as to perceived recreational and leisure needs in Moorpark. Take the "wish list" developed by staff and compare it. to the feedback provided by the community, and develop a merged list of features for consideration. Some items 1 o00021 or features may drop off the list at this point in the proceszs for lack o -f support by the commission and /or the publi 4. Staff will identify approximate costs of those features still on the list, and provide this information to the Commission. Staff will also endeavor to project anticipated revenue for the Park Improvement Fund for community park purposes to be received from anticipated development. 5. Utilizing this merged list with approximate costs, the Commission will prepare a final recommendation of Phase II improvements for the City Council to consider and prioritize. The Commission should address how funding should be allocated, based on an established priority list. 6. Upon development of a final priority list, the City Council may consider contracting with a landscape architect to develop a new conceptual design for the undeveloped 30 acres of the park and /or a design for the additional improvements in Phase I, depending on the outcome of the public meetings and the prioritized list of improvements. To date, the Commission has completed Action Steps #1 - #5. Staff has provided cost estimates for park features that were determined to be a priority by the Commission to be improved in the next one to three years. Staff is still researching costs for those items listed as priorities for improvement in the next three to ter. years. The Parks and Recreation Commission began hearing public testimony from residents in December, 1995, regarding the public's desire for specific features in Arroyo Vista Community Park. This topic was an agenda item for three months, to insure that all interested persons would have an opportunity to provide input. Based on the public input, and with additional information provided by staff, the Commission has prepared a proposed list of park features, listed in priority order, for the City Council to consider. The priority list, recommended by the Parks and Recreation. Commission is as follows: Short Term Improvements ( 1 - 3 Years) 1. Youth Football (With assistance from Packer Football) (Temporary Field) 2. Pave Access Road 3. Multi- purpose Court Lighting 2 00002i� 4. Tennis Courts ( 2 - 4 i 5. Pave Park-no Lots #2 and #3 6. Furnish Kitchen Intermediate Improvements ( 3- 5 Years) 1. Lights for Diamonds #2 and #3. 2. More and Possibly Larger Picnic Shelters 3. Soccer Field Lighting 4. Third Softball Diamond S. Additional Parking 6. Balance of play equipment in existing play area 7. Teen Center 8. Other playground locations and equipment 9. Basketball Court Lines on Multi- purpose court, and basketball poles and rims (8 total) (With assistance from MBA) Long Term Improvements ( 5 - 10 years) 1. Exercise Jogging Course 2. Phase II - Gymnasium, Plus Shower / Locker Facility adjacent to Gym. 3. Aquatics Complex 4. Tennis Courts ( 4 - 8 ) S. Sand Volleyball 6. Horseshoes 7. Band Shell (Permanent Outdoor Stage) 8. Lawn Bowling The Commission recommended removing the proposed lake and the passive picnicking and paths from the current plan.. Also not included was a proposal for an archery area that was brought forward by a Moorpark senior. 3 Upon Council adoption of the prepared priority list, staff will be recommending that funds be appropriated in 1996/97 to contract with a landscape architect to prepare a revised park design for Phase II of Arroyo Vista Community Park. As this plan is being prepared, staff will also move forward with researching cost estimates for all proposed park features, and future anticipated funding sources for park improvements. Staff estimates that there will be approximately $100,000 in the Community Zone for park improvements at Arroyo Vista Community Park in 1996/97. In their review of the improvements for Arroyo Vista Community Park, three issues became a critical part of the Commission's discussion. Staff is including background on the discussion on each of these issues for the Council's information. Moorpark Packer Youth Football gave testimony at the Commission meeting in December, requesting that the Commission consider the inclusion of land set aside to provide Packer Football with a permanent location for their practice and playing fields. This request was made since the School District had notified the organization that the District was moving forward with their plans to sell the property of the old community high school to a developer. In March, Packer Football had received new information from the District, which indicated that there would be no available fields for the football program in 1996, as grading of the property would begin during the summer. After researching other alternative locations, the organization approached staff and made a presentation to the Commission that Packer Football would donate labor and materials to improve six acres to the immediate east of the developed park area for a temporary football field and practice area. Staff supported this proposal. Even if a new conceptual park design is developed by a landscape architect, the inclusion of these developed six acres fits into the previous park plan, and would allow the City to expand their sports turf area at Arroyo Vista Community Park, without additional capital expenses. The Commission also supported this proposal, and ranked it as their number one priority improvement for Arroyo Vista Community Park. This donation was approved by the City Council at a special meeting on March 13. Construction work began on March 23. M M Multi - Purpose Court ':hen the funds were appropria*ed by the Council for ccnstruction of a 20,000 the �q. ft_ • concrete court, the Council specified that the Court be developed so that there could be the Potential for "multiple use ", that is, a variety of the could use the court. v When a.private organization stepped forward in 1995 to install permanent roller hockey side boards, in exchange for exclusive use of the court for roller hockey leagues and games, the City Council rejected the offer, indicating there previous position on a "multi -use" facility. The City invested in portable side boards and goals, and in January of 1996, began offering roller hockey leagues for youth and adults. The first league had a total registration of 75 youth. In order to extend the hours of use of the court, the Commission recommended the inclusion of court lighting at this location, and this is one of their priority items as well. At the Commission meeting in February, 1996, Moorpark Basketball Association gave testimony to the Commission regarding their organization's need for more basketball courts, especially those that would be available for evening practices during their season. Moorpark -Basketball Association has made financial contributions to the improvement of the Boys and Girls Club gym over the past three years, which benefited the club as well as the basketball program. Moorpark Basketball Association has made an offer to the City to add a different color basketball court striping and the installation of eight (8) basketball poles, boards, and rims to the multi - purpose court at Arroyo Vista Community Park, at no cost to the City. The total donation would be phased over two years, at an estimated total contribution of $10,000. MBA has offered to install all court striping and install four (4) of the eight poles, backboards and.rims during 1996/97, with the remaining work to be completed in 1997/98. The Parks and Recreation Commission rejected this proposal as a high priority, stating that adding basketball usage on the court would dilute the ability for the City's roller hockey program to grow. Staff feels that with the inclusion of court lighting, the hours of use can be extended and both sports could be accommodated on the multi -use court. It would be staff's responsibility to appropriately schedule both activities on the court. Staff is recommending that the City Council accept the donation by Moorpark Basketball Association and work with the organization in scheduling the installation. Currently, MBA pays the City a use fee for their use of the gymnasium during their season for practice and games, of approximately $1,700. MBA would need to work with staff to schedule the outside court during their season, 5 000026 but would not be charged for court rental, except for hourly light c.:zurges . Te:ini.s In December, 1995, and at the next three Commission meetings, the Moorpark Tennis Club gave testimony to the Commission regarding the need for additional tennis courts in Moorpark. Currently, the Tennis Club, which has been in operation for three years and has a membership of 240 residents, is utilizing the tennis courts at Tierra Rejada Park and at Moorpark College for their tournaments. The Tennis Club provided information to the Commission regarding the popularity of the sport, and the benefits of the sport. Their proposal in December requested that the City build, at its own cost, eight (8) tennis courts at Arroyo Vista Community Park, and pro shop, which the Tennis Club would maintain, operate, and collect fees for lessons and playing time. The net proceeds from these proposed fees would be returned to the City as additional park revenue. Staff was not supportive of this proposal for two reasons. The first involves the high capital investment on the part of the City. ,Staff estimates that an eight court complex, with a pro shop could cost the city over $400,000, or more. The Tennis Club's proposal in December, identified a net return annually to the City of $22,000. The City currently offers tennis lessons at Tierra Rejada Park on an on -going basis. Since 1993 enrollment in the tennis classes has fallen off. if part of the net proceeds are to be derived from tennis instruction, provided by the Tennis Club, staff feels that the estimated return figure is unrealistically high. (Staff has also learned that in the last year, Oakridge Fitness Center in Simi Valley tore down all of their tennis facilities and racketball facilities to expand their parking lot areas. A representative from Oakridge informed staff that racket sports were not drawing large number of participants as they had in the late 19801s.) The second objection by staff of this proposal has to do with how the annual proceeds would be raised. The Tennis Club offered to maintain and operate the proposed tennis complex, but would do so by charging "membership dues" and charging fees for court time to non - members. Other revenue would be derived from pro shop profits, tennis lessons, tennis camps, and tournaments. The total proposed yearly costs and revenue is attached at the end of this report. Staff is concerned about limiting use through membership for any public facility. The use of tennis courts should be free to all residents, and not be restricted to only those with the ability tc pay • -- 002G.. 6 Since December, the Tennis Club has attended other Commission meetings, and has modified their initial proposal. At :he meeting of the Commission in February, the club requested that the City build one tennis court and the Tennis Club would build a second court at Arroyo Vista Community Park in 1996/97. Staff recommended, in a staff report prepared for the Commission in February, that inclusion of funds for a tennis court be delayed until at least 1997/98. At that time, the Tennis Club would be able to have a year to demonstrate their ability to raise funds (approximately $50,000) for one court, and the City would have a new conceptual design of the park, and where the tennis courts would best be sited at the park. The Moorpark Tennis Club has indicated that they would like a commitment at this time, from the City, that the City is interested in pursuing the construction of additional tennis courts, in order that the club can begin fundraising efforts. The Commission rejected the staff's proposal and recommended to include $30,,000 for one tennis court in 1996/97 in their recommended park improvement list that will be forwarded to the City Council as part of the budget process. The Commission further indicated that the court should not be built by the City until the Moorpark Tennis Club provides the funds for their proposed court. The $30,000 proposed by the Commission is based on an estimate that the Tennis Club received from a qualified contractor. However, the price quoted in this estimate, did not include necessary grading, drainage, electrical work, water lines, and other infrastructure work required for the proposed court(s). Including these costs, staff feels that a minimum of $50,000 is a more realistic cost estimate for the construction of a tennis court, with fencing, screens, nets, court surfacing and striping, and lights. In any event, staff does not support the Commission's recommendation for the inclusion of a tennis court as part of the park improvement schedule for 1996/97, for reasons stated above. Finally, it should be made clear that staff is supportive of the inclusion of additional tennis courts in Moorpark, and supports the inclusion of four to eight courts in the conceptual re- design of Arroyo Vista Community Park, that is being proposed. However, tennis court construction is permanent, and staff feels that this type of improvement should be deferred until the revised conceptual plan of the park is completed. Staff informed the Commission that the Specific Plan for the Carlsberg development includes a neighborhood park, which indicates the inclusion of two tennis courts. This improvement could meet and satisfy some of the concerns regarding the lack of tennis courts in Moorpark. 7 0000 ° CONCLUSION The Parks and Recreation Commission has completed its task of developing a priority list of park features for Arroyo -?ista Community Park to recommend for consideration to the City Staff is supportive of the priority list for the Shor= Term Improvements, listed earlier in this report. Staff will be recommending the inclusion of the multi -use court lighting, the asphalt paving of the access road, the contracting of a landscape architect for a conceptual design of Phase II of the park, as well as accepting the donation from Moorpark Basketball Association for the improvements for the multi -use court, to the City Council as part of the budget process for 1996/97. Staff will also forward the recommendation by the Commission for one lighted tennis court to be included in 1996/97 Park Improvement budget at Arroyo Vista Community Park, but staff is not supportive of this recommendation. Staff is also working on a report concerning a Teen Center. Staff anticipates recommending that funding be appropriated in 1996/97 for a modular building to be placed at Arroyo Vista Con�Tunity Park, near the Recreation Center. This recommendation will be submitted with the budget and will include additional information regarding current and future teen programs. RECOMMENDATION 1) Review the Priority List of Park Improvements for Phase II of Arroyo Vista Community Park, as recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission; 2) Consider adoption of Priority List with recommended changes by staff (i.e. deferring tennis court construction until after revised conceptual design is completed, acceptance of donated MBA improvements in 1996/97, and moving Teen Center up in order of priority to Short Term Improvements); and 3) Direct staff to advertise for Receipt of Bids for a quG_ified landscape architect to develop a conceptual design for Phase 17 of Arroyo Vista Community Park, which would incorporate the pr -Lority list of Park Improvements as adopted by the City Council.

The Moorpark Packer Youth Football program has been in existence for seven years, and serves over 300 youth in Moorpark (including girls, who participate as cheerleaders) . Since the beginning, Packer Football has used the football field at the former high school on Casey Road. Some team practices have occasionally been accommodated on City park facilities, but all games have been on the football field. In light of the recent Moorpark Unified School decision to sell the property for a housing build a new elementary school at the north e Packer Football has been notified by the football field at the old high school will no for their use. District (District) development and to nd of the property, District that the longer be available The football organization has explored other possibilities for fields in Moorpark. The Moorpark High School Memorial Stadium is not available for use, as the high school football teams use the stadium field exclusively during the same time period. Moorpark College fields are also not available during that time of year, due to college games, and Royal High School use of the fields for their high school games, as their stadium which is under construction will probably not be ready for use until 1997. Representatives from Moorpark Packers even explored the possibility of using the open field area at Litton on Condor Drive for their program, but have determined that the f ie-ld was too small to accommodate their needs. 0, `3 GO 20 Finall p •`' Y, representatives from the Packer Football organizati approached City staff about the possibility of i on improving Of park land to the east of the soccer fields at A 9 0 o acres Community Park, to serve as a temporary home for their football program. Vista DISIIIISSIpN Packer Football has made an offer to the approximately six acres at Arroyo Vista Community lParktosolely at their own cost.. These improvements would include: all survey work, soils testing, grading, drainage, irrigation, hydroseeding of approximately 5.5 acres, and grading an area for additional (dirt) parking. To date, Packer Football has had most of these services donated to their organization. developed a grading plan; Jensen Sury Westland Civil has o survey work; Pacific Soils has agreed to do asoils test rovi i ngthelsubject area; Landscape Development, Inc., has agreed to install all irrigation; and Burhoe has agreed to drainage construction work. They are still 1 seeking e grading and a donat -ion of the grass seed 'and soil amendments. The organization has also been promised by the School District that they could have, and relocate the bleachers and goal posts from the old high school football field, which could be located at Arroyo Vista Community Park. Finally, Picon (Phil Vein) which was directly involved with the Phase I design and construction of Arroyo Vista Community Park, has also volunteered his time to assist Packer Football i it can, n any way Staff estimates that the value of materials and improvements is a this donation of labor, of- pocket costs, associated withpthismately $200,000.

Packer Football is considering drawing area the existing Edison poles to provide g g power from would also work with Edison about Placing some alighting on those Poles to help illuminate the east area of the system, and Purposes. park for security The currently approved park master plan includes sports field turf that would extend to near the pepper tree line, near the middle of the park, with parking to the east of the sports fields. City, when improving he improvements approximately g Phase I of the park in 1993, made ker ootba six acres short of that, due-to limited Park funds. Packer Football is offering to provide the additional 000030 •ii�_ .. _ -. .. .. }_;. .fie.` . A improvements, previously considered and included in the park plan by the City, at no cost to the City' Park Improvement Fund. The Packer Football plan (Exhibit 1) will include enough area for one regulation size football field, and additional grass area to have practices. The plan would provide for additional parking off of the access road to the north and to the east of the planned improved area, in anticipation of football and soccer parking occurring at the same time. This parking would accommodate 70 - 100 additional cars, beyond what is already available in the two gravel parking lots, and what was graded along the east end of the developed park. It is possible that the area currently graded for excess parking at the east end of the turf area may remain to provide drainage for the proposed improvements. Staff will provide an update to the Council on the proposed final design on March 13. The grading plan will need to be reviewed by the City to insure that the grading, compaction and drainage are consistent with the existing developed area. The engineer who will be preparing the grading plan will be meeting with the Director of Public Works to review these plans. Staff is recommending that the irrigation plan should be reviewed by T.I. Maloney, who designed the irrigation plan for the rest of the park, to insure that the proposed irrigation plan conforms with the current system, and is compatible with: the current well system. Maloney has told staff that they would review the plans for no cost, and charge $1,000 for three inspection visits during the installation. It may be appropriate for the City to pay for this cost and other professional service out -of- pocket costs not to exceed $2,500. This could come from anticipated savings in the current budget for AVCP improvements. At a minimum the City can waive its administrative costs on these services. In all cases, work would be inspected by the City, and all work will meet City specifications and requirements. Staff has provided the hydroseed mix specifications to Packer Football, as the hybrid bermuda grass that has been used at the park is tolerant of the high boron levels in the well water. Staff estimates that the cost to the City would be approximately $5,500 per year for an additional six acres, based on current maintenance costs for that park. This is for mowing, weeding and fertilizing, plus utility costs. Staff would recommend that the City include these costs in the annual park maintenance budget. Packer Football has also offered to assist in all maintenance during their season, and would also overseed the grass during the spring of each year, to enhance the turf growth in future years. Packer Football is also offering to trench and install a t -valve from the new restroom /concession building, and install a drinking fountain near the proposed improvement area. Staff has detp=44"00 31 r n ` that there would be enough water pressure from the current line to accommodate a drinking fountain. During other times of the year, when football is not using the fields for their program, the area can have other uses, such as youth and adult soccer programs that extend throughout the year, with the exception of-the time period when the area is being overseeded. Exhibit 2 (attached) is a rendering prepared by BSI, for the original park master plan. , The rendering identifies that the subject area was planned as additional open sports fields, and that the offer from Packer Football to improve this area does not deviate from the plan. The improvements being offered by Packer Football are acknowledged by the organization as possibly a temporary solution to their immediate problem of finding adequate field space for their program. In reality, the long range improvements for the rest of the park may not be done in the next three to five years, depending on available park improvement funds. Therefore, the temporary use to Packer Football_ could continue for several years, which would also provide the organization with time to explore the possibility of other sites if necessary. In their preliminary review of Phase II of Arroyo Vista Community Park, the Parks and Recreation Commission did not envision that this portion of the park be anything other than open sports field turf. Staff feels that the plan proposed by Packer Football fits in well with the current park master plan, and any new design of Phase II of the park can include this improvement. RECOMMENDATION 1) Accept the donation from Moorpark Packer Youth Football to fund and make improvements to six acres of land to the immediate east of the developed portion of Arroyo Vista Community Park, consistent with City specifications and requirements; 2) direct staff to work with Packer Football in scheduling and implementing the necessary work; 3) direct staff to prepare an agreement between the City and Moorpark Packer Youth Football to recognize donation, provide hold harmless, indemnification, and insurance for the construction period including their contractors and during the annual use by Moorpark Packer Youth Football and memorialize use priorities and restrictions, to be approved and signed by the City Mana e half of the Cit y, and 4) 25 �= =ems- �soazr o== Cityq inan ial contribution of $2,500 and waiver of city administrative colt for any required professional services.
