• <br /> TO : Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM : Design and Development Committee , Chairperson Weintraub <br /> DATE : February 7 , 1977 <br /> SUBJECT : REVIEW OF DESIGN STATUS - CANYON PARK <br /> The Design and Development Committee met on February 7 , 1977 . Those <br /> present were Commissioners Weintraub and Knecht . Commissioner Buckhout <br /> was absent . <br /> The Committee met with the staff and with Mr . Ron Hodges of the land - <br /> scape architectural consultant firm of Singer and Hodges , who is han - <br /> dling the design of the project . Mr . Hodges presented to the Committee <br /> a status report on the design and explained several of the preliminary <br /> drawings which are underway for the project . He explained the proposed <br /> grading for the park , the location of the play apparatus area , the picnic <br /> facilities and the access road and off street parking area . The Committee <br /> offered several suggestions relative to these elements of the design <br /> which will be studied for inclusion into the final plans . A model of <br /> the play apparatus area was discussed with particular reference to its <br /> location and compatibility with the natural terrain features of the area . <br /> It was pointed out to the Commission that the design for Canyon Park <br /> will employ some new irrigation techniques which will involve the drip <br /> irrigation method together with low volume sprinkler heads in the turfed <br /> areas . Additionally , the use of drought tolerant materials together with <br /> native materials which are compatible for ornamental use was also dis - <br /> cussed . It was pointed out that unless the present drought situation <br /> was greatly alleviated by late spring , it is doubtful that the plant- <br /> ing would be included in the first phase of development . The design , <br /> however , will include the planting as well as all the other features <br /> for the first phase . <br /> At the conclusion of the discussion , the Committee expressed their con - <br /> currence with the construction design currently underway . It was pointed <br /> out that the present schedule indicated that the project would be ready <br /> for final review and calling for bids the first part of April . The <br /> Committee agreed to additional meetings to review the plans as they <br /> progressed . <br /> - 7 - <br />
