TO : Parks and Recreation Commission FROM : Design and Development Committee , Chairman Weintraub DATE : October 8 , 1976 SUBJECT : REVIEW THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR FIRST PHASE DEVELOPMENT - - CANYON PARK The Design and Development Committee met October 8 , 1976 . Those present were Commissioners Weintraub , Schlesinger and Knecht together with the staff and the landscape architectural consultants , Singer and Hodges . The meeting was called to review the proposed development for Phase I of Canyon Park . Mr . Singer displayed a preliminary plan for the proposed first phase and explained the elements of the plan to the Committee and the staff . It was proposed that the first phase of development for Canyon Park would include the site preparation and clearing , , the basic grading for the entire site , initial drainage for the first phase , irrigation and turfing of the site , initial walkways throughout the park , a small park- ing area , and the basic trees and shrubs for the key areas of the park . In addition , several alternates were discussed which could be prepared for the first phase and included depending upon the total funds to be available and the bids which were received for the work ; such alterna- tives are : sanitary sewer hookups , picnic sites , rustic adventure play structures , additional ground cover and irrigation , as well as additional tree and shrub planting . It was the feeling of the Committee that if at all possible , the play apparatus area should be included into the first phase . Temporary park- ing could be provided , pending the future phases of development , which could include permanent parking in concert with the small neighborhood recreation center which is planned for the long range development of the park . It was pointed out that perhaps other funds may become available to the City from new state grants which possibly could be directed to Canyon Park and , therefore , make it possible to include several of the alternates . These possibilities are being studied further and the Com- mission will be establishing these priorities soon . The Committee agreed that the consultants should proceed with the ele- ments in the first phase as discussed . Additional meetings will be held to review the progress of the plans when appropriate to do so . - 7 -
