REPORTS REPORT ITEM 1 - Desig~ _& Developme!?t Commi t tee., Design & Development Chairwoman Weintraub reported that the Committee had two meetings, one on May 8,1975 and the other on May 23,1975. The meeting of May 8 included the review of the preliminary sketches of the bocci ball court cover, the preliminary Hetch-Hetchy development plan, and the final site plan for Palm Avenue Park. The preliminary sketches for the proposed structure for covering the bocci ball courts were dis- cussed. Mr. Dale Burrious with the Public Works Department explained the three proposed structures and described the construction necessary for the structures. All plans have roofs which overhang the courts by at least six feet. This afford protection for players and spectators from the sun and rain. Plan I was a twin shingle hip roof; Plan II was a twin shingle gable roof with wood screen gables; Plan III was a flat roof, all to be constructed on poll type columns. The area covered would approximate 47,000 square feet. It was pointed out to the Committee that representa- tives fram the bocci ball players had reviewed the sketches and they chose Plan II as being the most acceptable. The Committee concurred with this selection and requested Mr. Burrious to proceed with detailed estimates for the project as work schedules allowed. The next item to be discussed by the Committee was a review of the pre- liminary plan of the Hetch-Hetchy Right-of-Way development project. Mr. Phil Singer of Singer and Hodges, consultant for the project, dis- played a strip map showing the proposed variety of the treatments for the right-of-way throughout its entire length in Redwood City. The plan would provide for small park areas at various nodes on the right-of-way connected by trails and landscaped areas. There were various areas through- out the plan which would provide for home gardening as well as active recreation areas. The Committee made several suggestions to the consultant which will be incorporated into the plan for review at a later date. Slides were shown of the right-of-way at key points on the plan so as to obtain a better understanding of the potential for development throughout the right- of-way.
