AGENDA REPORT
The Honorable City Council
ITT 1, .
_ D
Christine Adams, Director of Community Service(r-.'
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.
