COMMENTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS Regarding the Moorpark Avenue pavement overlay between High Street and Poindexter, Councilmember Per,;: requested that the City Engineer contact Cnitrnns about widening; ._h„ ,;troet since currently pedestrians must. go into traffic in order t (:rots, 'he street. In response to Councilmember Br wn, Assistant City Engineer John Knipe advised that he was aware that he work being done on Ilighway 118 near the Spring Road intersection w•is being performed at night. Caltrans had sti.pulnted to Topa (the dev,lopor dying the work) that the work in the intersection must be accoml ish•!d d rring the night. Councilmember Brown directed t tat the City Engineer check into the sign posted at Spring and 111g+t v 118 t1 at allows "t1" turns because it was her opinion that they ccu' ct h- '- gotinted safely. The Honorable City Council Page 2 November 30, 1989 In staff's opinion, this is exce will be eliminated, will add tc create a potential !iability hazy Staff, working with Urban We,. options to resolve this issue drainage issue are being propo,n- ALTERNATIVE A: Develop the park as currently p­ would require accepting a number w fl not insure surface ponding •ie na i ni enance costs of the park and J)Pr .on•, using the park. ommur ties, has explored various "t-e alternatives to resolve the y, u1 �nsideration. .,o•.E•d by Urban West Communities which J r "a( drains. Pros: 1. Development of th- a­ ar begin immediately. Cons: 1. Potential surfa.n )n i-nq n.iy occur. 2. Increased maintena e (o t to maintain drainage system. 3. Potential liabili• nc.a -A 'rnm surface drains. 4. Even if the :en, _our,s and basketball court are removed from /or orated within the park, the drainage concerns are not ii -.i,latEd ALTERNATIVE B:,Aje � atz~ 74. 4xc �orrt� 4*�- ate, ,mod else Re�de park nd import fi i - ' :ato— -i to rai park e eva ion ti6``� eliminate all surface drains Pros: I.

Provide better 1i• f•)r establishment of healthy turf. Cons: 1. Development of po, d ave 2. East end of pars a�: ar.er ;. to Mountain Meadows street would be elevate V'' to 4' to achieve proper drainage (2% ;ur c Ie!e). This would create two distinct condit-cr A. Homeowners iir;ca s( uth of the park adjacent to this area uld ;)E looking directly into the parking 1 cat in( • eri,i i ,- courts. Relocating the tennis ccur- t) t,ie west of the current location would hnl: • , ' , —is concern. The Honorable City Council Page 3 November 30, 1989 B. Surface of �t park near the intersection of Tierra Rejada and M,- in-,.ain rrail would be depressed 8' to 13' below tFi, 7ireet which would prevent water from flowing out ` -,he .)ark unless connected to the Peach Hil' t, it )- aided by a pump station. 3. Create a water 'f..ertiori ,ond in the park. Additional maintenance cos', anti no*.entia' liability created from an open pond - l c ).= f , n .ed . 4. Aesthetically et,-, t: the eye. ALTERNATIVE C: Create a mid -park grade break tc �)e located at the east end of the park which will create an east /west. surface flow which could reduce the number of surface drains to be ,sta 1 1 ec This would take four to six weeks to complete and return t +Pe Cclincil. Pros: 1. Would reduce o^ minate -.he 8' to 13' surface depression at t ,r west end of the park near the intersection of or -„ Rejada Road and Mountain Trail as indicated in Alt - a•;vo E 2. Significantly e,i ? r e minate all surface drains. 3. Reduce maintenan. <t•,. Cons: I. Development of t,i park & layed to import fill material. 2. East end of the I:rk adjacent to Mountain Meadows Street would be elevate 112 to 4 feet which would allow persons standing i t•ie park to peer into the rear yards of the homes ad i - ::errt to the south side of the park at this location hi o,rl(. be mitigated by additional landscaping i- a• a -F• i.e. additional trees and shrubs. Meadows Par, . we r,m , full- service active park. 3. Nuisance water *.t :t previously was going to be contained on the park w)ul flew o,.t onto Mountain Meadows Street at a point ea-t --he p,oposed elevated portion of the park as indicate y ..,, s iiternative ( "C ") In addition to the previously ie,t:ioned drainage issue, staff would like Council to consider a, adcit.ianaI proposal related to the development of South Meadow, -k >hift the tennis court complex from South Meadows Park t, - t - Meadow-, ('ark - This would allow several things to occur. 1. Uses of North Meac:ow aro South Meadows Parks would change. South Meadows Park w,; d hecorne a more passive type park and North Meadows Par, . we r,m , full- service active park. The Honorable Page 4 November 30, City Council 1989 2. Council previously auth -ired staff to solicit bids for a restroom at North Meadow Park which would lend itself to an active park. 3. Eliminate one tenni -, ,:ourt, regardless of the court locations, and exchang (, !.he cos'. of the tennis court for a picnic pavilion. This .ould reduce or eliminate the amount of funds required to t— loaned -o the Mountain Meadows zone for constructing one )r r� F cr c pavilions. In summary, the current problem sociate�_i with the park drainage can be attributed to the developer's versighl in not considering the park elevation when development of thf area surrounding the park occurred. At that time, the grade elevat in f,r the park should have been addressed and properly dealt witt Considering the nature and sensi-..•.ity to the residents adjacent to the south side of the park, elevatin the landscape features at the east end of the park (parking lot an(- ennis courts) would be aesthetically undesirable and create a detentic- )o,,c it the west end of the park. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Alternative "C" - Create a r d -park .trade break to be located at the east end of the park wt ch wil' create an east /west surface flow which could reduce rumb( of surface drains to be installed. 2. Prior to recommendation of Iternative "C," City Council review and approve plans to implemer Alternative "C."
