SUBJECT: Consider Art In Public Places Project For CUP 94-
1 (Moorpark Country Club Estates)
BACKGROUND
As a condition of the Conditional Use Permit, CUP 94 -1, for
Tract 4928, Moorpark Country Club Estates, the developer
(Toll Brothers) was required to prepare and install a
public art project on -site. The condition is tied to the
building permit for the golf course. Specifically, the
developer is required to install a public art piece in the
area of the golf course clubhouse or pay an in -lieu fee of
$10 per 100 square feet of golf course clubhouse facilities
building space prior to issuance of a building permit.
The City approved the developers request to install an art
piece rather than pay the in -lieu fee. Had the in -lieu fee
been required, it would have equaled $3,822, based on
38,225 square feet of clubhouse facilities building space.
The cash value of the proposed art piece exceeds the amount
of the in -lieu fee.
DISCUSSION
The City's Art in Public Places Committee met on September
9, 2002, to review the Toll Brothers' art project. The
Committee is comprised of: two Councilmembers, Clint Harper
and Keith Millhouse; one Parks and Recreation Commissioner,
Sandra Thompson; and two members -at- large, Mary Schwabauer
and Jay Moore. Staff members in attendance included Barry

The art project submitted by Toll Brothers consists of a
fountain with marble horse sculpture serving as the
fountain's centerpiece (full sized color plans submitted to
Council under separate cover) . The fountain is 20 feet in
diameter with an 18 -inch seat wall. The fountain will also
contain spray jets and underwater lighting. The area
surrounding the fountain will consist of landscaping,
lighting, and a decorative circular driveway.
The Committee had very few comments. The consensus of the
Committee was that the horse theme was indigenous to the
surrounding areas that include horse ranches. They liked
the materials (marble sculpture) and the colors (brown and
green tones) . They did not express any recommended changes
to the project. The Committee recommends that the City
Council approve the plans for Toll Brothers' Art In Public
Place Project as submitted.
STAFF RECOMDENDATION
Approve the Toll Brothers' (CUP 94 -1) Art In Public Places
project as submitted.
