Mary Lindley reminded the Commission that the three designs supplied by Community Works Design are interchangeable. She also reminded the Commission that there are a number of mature trees that should be considered when discussing the placement of park amenities. The Commission and staff discussed the feasibility of having a skatepark constructed at Arroyo Vista Community Park rather than Poindexter Park and whether such a recommendation would further delay the completion of a skatepark. • P&R Commission Special Meeting June 26, 2006 Page 3 The Commission was in favor of placing the skatepark at Arroyo Vista Community Park because this would allow the size to be larger than 10,000 square feet, which seemed to be the main concern of the residents who were present and spoke on behalf of a skatepark. Mr. Tim Maloney introduced himself to the residents and reviewed the three designs that he had supplied. The Commission and Mr. Maloney discussed the option of placing the skatepark on the east side of the undeveloped portion of Poindexter Park, increasing the proposed size of the skatepark to 15,000 square feet, and creating a passive area on the west side of the park. MOTION: Commissioner Weisberger moved that a fourth conceptual plan be developed, putting the skatepark on the east side of the park, with the size to be approximately 15,000 square feet, and to reflect where the existing mature trees are located. Commissioner Thompson seconded. The motion was carried 4-0. Chair Van Dam was absent. A. Tierra Rejada Play Equipment Replacement Update. Staff Recommendation: Receive and file report. John Keisler provided two design options and reviewed them with the Commission. MOTION: Commissioner Pflaumer moved to recommend Revision Plan 2, containing the additional slide, for City Council consideration. Commissioner Weisberger seconded. The motion was carried 4-0. Chair Van Dam was absent. 7. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Commissioner Thompson announced the upcoming July 3rd event at AVCP. Mary Lindley stated that the band at the event will be playing approximately 30 to 40 minutes after the fireworks conclude, in hopes of alleviating the heavy traffic trying to exit. Commissioner Weisberger announced the upcoming Apricot Festival on July 8, which is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. P&R Commission Special Meeting June 26, 2006 Page 4 8.
