PRESENTATIONS P1 Relating to Parks and Recreation'; update, discussion and direction regarding plans for the Tangerine Corridor Community Park, including the proposed design of the park and potential names for the parr. (Cynthia Nemeth - Briehn). Ms. Nemeth - Briehn by introducing Jason Kuklinski, a key partner in the new park about to come on board off of Tangerine Road. Mr. Kuklinski is a principal with Norris Design. She began with a short history of how the park came about beginning with a land exchange between the town and the Sky Ranch HOA. Next she gave a brief description of what community parr means within the scope of the 2010 master plan. A community park is within 10 -40 acres and usually includes multi -use fields, sport courts, playgrounds, walking paths and a skate /bike feature. This park will be in the smaller range of that. Last summer, the town contracted with Norris Design, and with their help and other departments within the town, a unique and creative multi- faceted public outreach campaign which elicited over 377 respondents, comments and input. This kind of response was unprecedented in her experience. Their "wants" were all the things that are normally included in a community part {. Norris Design then created two concepts which she illustrated to Council, noting that the residents of Sky Ranch wanted connectivity to the park. Both concepts were vetted by the public through the various outreach approaches. From the feedback of the 129 respondents, Concept I was the preferred layout, and Norris Design came up with a 30% construction site plan which she presented. In response to questions from Council, Ms. Nemeth - Briehn stated that there would be swings at the parr, there will be bike racks which are a typical features, there are currently 50 parking spaces planned which could be increased to 65 to accommodate hikers, there will be a skatepark feature with shallow bowls, the playground areas will most likely be engineered wood chips, a small area could be used to create an education/performance space, and the lighting will be primarily for safety reasons. Gilbert Davidson also noted that along with the expansion of Tangerine Road, multi -use paths will be constructed to connect the various neighborhoods and access to the park and to trails in the Tortolita Mountains. other planned developments between Dove Mountain Boulevard, Moore Road and Thornydale Road will also include trailhead access and staging areas. Ms. Nemeth - Briehn concluded her presentation with next steps, which includes final comments on the 30% plan and the name of the park. Several of the 377 respondents submitted ideas for names and the most frequently suggested are included on a ballot which she handed out to Council. She asked that they provide their first and second choices, and then she will tally them and bring the results back to Council at a future date. She expects that the parr will be ready for a grand opening in late spring of 2017. April 5, 2016 Regular Council Meeting Minutes CONSENT AGENDA.
