September 6, 1995 Consider Revision of Park Master Plan for Arroyo Vista Community Park The City Council adopted the goals and objectives for the City in August, 1995. As part of the objectives 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." DISCUSSION Since the Arroyo Vista Community Park Master Plan (see attached) was adopted there have been some significant changes in the City, which may require that the adopted design be reconsidered. In addition, the City Council has approved changes to the build out of the park. Since 1989, when the plan was adopted, the City has acquired four new parks (Tierra Rejada Park, Mountain Meadows Park, Country Trail Park, and Virginia Colony Park), which has increased the amount of park land by approximately 20 acres. The Arroyo Vista Community Park Master Plan indicated that approximately 30 acres of the total 69 acres, would be utilized for passive activity, such as picnicking and walking, including a large lake in the center of the design. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed lake may be a maintenance and liability problem, and that there may be new needs for the remaining 30 acres which have arisen since 1989. It would be beneficial to have the Parks and Recreation Commission, with specific direction from the City Council, to schedule public meetings to identify the current needs of the community and to recommend design alternatives to the City Council. 0003-0t; PARK PHASING At buildout, (all 69 acres, developed per the adopted Park Master Plan), the total cost of the park will be $16,134,018. This is based on the estimates provided by BSI Consultants in 1988. A breakdown of the costs are in the attached copy of the Park Master Plan. The 1988 Master Plan divided the project by area, as a recommendation of BSI, and was designed to spread out the costs of the park over a period of time. As park improvement funds for this park are limited, the Council took action in 1992 to reduce the scope of the work in some areas and to redefine the phasing plan. The actual park construction, based on a modified Master Plan and done with the architectural assistance of T.I. Maloney, Inc. in 1992, was phased differently. This phasing was divided into two phases, and included the Recreation Center and active recreation facilities in the first phase and the passive open space area in the second. The following figures include all costs that are associated with the construction of the park, to date, including the completion of the Recreation Center and the recent site improvements. Site Improvements $1,241,570 Recreation Center $1,902,615 Landscaping and Related Improvements $ 635,869 Miscellaneous Costs $ 218,696 TOTAL $3,998,750 This represents 24% of the estimate prepared in 1988 by BSI for the entire 69 acre park. PHASE I Phase I includes: all infrastructure improvements for the west 36 acres of parkland, including water well irrigation, grading, drainage, access road, and parking lots (3), park landscaping for the west 36 acres of land, and construction of the Recreation Center and 1/2 of the two -court gymnasium. This work was completed in 1994, with the grand opening of the Recreation Center in June of that year. During 1994 and 1995, the City Council approved additional park improvement funds for the construction of two softball fields, sports lighting for one field, a playground, picnic shelter, tables, benches, and barbecues, a restroom /concession building, 00U10 7 water and sewer extension to said restroom, and a multi -use court. These improvements are almost completed, with the restroom /concession building to be completed this fall. Phase I Park Improvement Funds have also been used for other capital costs at the park, due to unforeseen maintenance and operational factors, such as the repair of the water well, fencing for the water well, the oil treatment of the access road to prevent dust, and the rail fence along the arroyo to limit any motorized traffic from coming up from the arroyo onto the park. The costs for these items were in an excess of $150,000, mostly for the well and pump. These items are not part of the original Master Plan, but are necessary improvements to the park. Other changes to the Master Plan included the multi -use court improvement. The City Council took action to have a multi -use court installed to address a need for a location for roller hockey leagues in the City, and to provide a large concrete surface for other possible uses in the future. In summary, to date, the following improvements have been completed or are funded and ready to complete, in Phase I: • Completion of Phase I grading, irrigation, and landscaping. • Completion of Phase I of Arroyo Vista Recreation Center, including westerly paved parking lot. • Gravel access road and two large parking lots, with oil treatment. • Two softball fields with backstop and dug out fencing, and ballfield lighting on south field. • One playground area, with older children's play equipment only. • Large picnic shelter, with seating capacity of 50 people. • Restroom / Concession Building near ballfields (ready to construct). • Multi -Use Court (currently under construction). • Water and Sewer Line Extension to Restroom / Concession Building (currently under construction). • Water Well and Security Fencing (currently under construction). • Maintenance Fence area for storing equipment. 01:10 • Security Walkway lights from Recreation Center to first easterly parking lot. Staff has identified Phase I as all improvements on the now developed park land. Using this definition, there are still some capital projects in this phase which have not been funded (future estimated costs, where known, are listed): • Second basketball court (gymnasium extension) • Additional meeting room (s)* • Fully equipped kitchen* • Ballfield lights for north field ($55,000) • Aquatics Facility ($2 million) • Playground Equipment for Preschool Aged Children ($40,000) • Paved Access Road ($30,000) • Third Softball Field ($30,000) • Third Softball Field Lights ($55,000) * Specific future improvements to the Recreation Center are not identified in the 1988 Master Plan, but are proposed additional improvements to the Recreation Center. PROPOSED PHASE II In discussing design alternatives for "Phase II ", one option may be to consider some interim improvements, such as grading for a driving range and /or batting cages, or another contracted use, which might generate some funds toward the future permanent improvement. Long term commercial uses, which would also generate revenue for the City, could be considered such as the development of a private health club, racquetball center, skateboard park or BMX course. Performance Nursery has also approached staff regarding an annual lease agreement for approximately 1 acre of land at the southwesterly end of the undeveloped portion of the park. This could possibly generate approximately $500 per year toward future park improvements, until the City is prepared to develop that portion of the park. The Council should provide direction to staff and the Commission regarding the above stated options. 001 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION The Commission will need some specific guidelines and direction before they initiate their evaluation process. The previous paragraphs discuss issues which must be included in the overall recommendation. Staff is recommending the following process for the Commission to utilize: 1) Council to provide specific direction, providing some perimeters for items to be retained or dropped from the original Park Master Plan, to consider for a revised Plan, such as whether a lake is still desirable or if a Teen Center should be sited in the park. 2) As a Commission, review the City Council's views and direction for future improvements for Arroyo Vista Community Park. 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. 4) Invite community residents, including representatives from neighborhoods, community groups, and sports groups to a future Commission meeting, to provide input as to perceived recreational and leisure needs in Moorpark. 5) 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 or features may drop off the list at this point in the process for lack of support by the Commission and /or the public. 6) 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. 7) Utilizing the 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. For example, if the City were to receive $200,000, should these funds be spent on a lower priority item that is within that dollar amount, or saved for a higher priority item, that will cost more? Part of this step would be to also consider phasing the construction of various elements, depending on available 0JUIL10 funding. Interim improvements should also be considered at this point. 8) 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. Direct staff and Parks and Recreation Commission to: 1) Proceed with process to develop revised Master Plan as outlined in the report and 2) Specify items that should be deleted from the 1988 plan and /or consider for inclusion in recommendation for revised Master Plan and whether interim and commercial recreation uses should be considered.
