City of San Luis Obispo, Title, Subtitle 1 City Council Chambers 990 Palm Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Wednesday, June 1, 2016, 5:30 p.m. CALL TO ORDER: Chair Whitener called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. ROLL CALL: Chair Jeff Whitener, Commissioners Susan Olson, Douglas Single, Susan Updegrove ABSENT: None COUNCIL: None STAFF: Shelly Stanwyck, Melissa Mudgett, Bob Hill, Dave Watson (Contract Planner), Mark Williams Public Comment None 1.CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 04, 2016. MOTION: (Updegrove/Olson) Approved the Minutes of May 04, 2016 as amended. Approved: 4 yes: 0 no: 0 absent 2.CONSIDERATION OF RIGHETTI RANCH PARKS PROPOSAL Dave Watson, City of San Luis Obispo Contract Planner, presented the Righetti Ranch parks project and the Applicant’s response to the Commissions’ direction provided on April 6, 2016. Staff Watson provided a brief review of the proposed parks and summarized the proposed design elements for the four parks (Neighborhood, Trail Junction, Linear and Pocket parks) included as part of the Righetti Ranch residential development. Staff Watson provided the revised park improvements as recommended by the Commission and the associated costs; noting that the 2010 Orcut Area Specific Plan (OASP) calculated park fees are now insufficient by an estimated $1.2 million dollars to fully support the revised design and construction contingencies. Staff Watson shared that the fees as originally calculated has been adjusted for inflation but did not include soft costs nor specific elements added during the parks designs. Chris Dufour, RRM Design Group, provided an overview of the revised park improvements as directed previously by the Commission. Travis Fuentez, representative of the Developer (Ambient Communities) provided other suggested direction on closing the cost differential gap such as revising the scope to provide only some of these amenities, or a partial relief of fees in the form of fee credits. Staff Watson added that 90% of the OASP planning area is located on Righetti Ranch project, with other OASP developers paying their share of the parkland acquisition fee per acre. The parkland fee structure is intended to support new park amenities and when other developments receive credits that funding source is reduced. Meeting Minutes Parks and Recreation Commission 1-1 City of San Luis Obispo, Title, Subtitle 2 Public Comment John Stocksdale, SLO Pickleball Club, thanked the Applicant for responding to the Commissions’ direction to add additional pickleball courts to the project’s park design. Aaryn Abbot, Robbins Reed, a developer for West Creek, said they were asking for fee credits on their projects as a result of generating new additional residential housing in the project. He testified that as a result of paying higher fees, developers may not have the ability to provide all of the recommended park amenities within their developments. Commission Comment Vice Chair Updegrove asked if some of the increase park amenity costs could be paid for by other fees. Director Stanwyck responded that Transportation Funds would be evaluated some of the elements for bicycle and pedestrians have been included as park amenities. She added that the Parkland Funds are low as it was most recently used for the building of the SLO Skate Park. She reminded the Commission that the City Council identified “parks” as “neighborhood benefit”, should the project be successful in showing larger community benefits (such as bike routes and increased pedestrian accessibility) this may open up ability to seek other funding resources. Commissioner Olson asked how the public would propose the pocket park fireplace amenity. Mr. Dufour said it would be similar to other Parks and Recreation reservations where a key would be used to secure the amenity. Commissioner Olson asked why there was bark mulch proposed for the dog park versus grass. Mr. Dufour responded that this is a cost effective approach. MOTION: (Olson/Single) The PRC recommends that the Council approval the public park improvements for the Righetti Ranch project as reflected in Table 3 of the June 1, 2016 PRC meeting staff report. Approved: 4 yes: 0 no: 0 absent MOTION: (Olson/Single) The PRC recommends that the City Council consider modifying the OASP PFFP fee structure for public parks as suggested in Table 2 of the June 1, 2016 PRC meeting staff report and that alternative funding sources be used for bikeway improvements rather than parkland funds. Approved: 4 yes: 0 no: 0 absent The Commission provided consensus that the Neighborhood Park as presented, followed by the Linear Park, were of a higher priority for the Commission. 3.UPDATE FOR NATURAL RESOURCES PROGRAM AND ROUNDTABLE Bob Hill, Natural Resources Manager, provided an update on the Natural Resources Program, the Major City Goal and the Laguna Lake Natural Reserve and Conservation Plan which was established by the City Council in 1995 to provide the resources needed to protect the City’s natural resources. Staff Hill said that the total Greenbelt is now 54,404 acres, of which City of San Luis Obispo manages 7,000 acres of open space and trails. He added that the Natural Resources and Ranger Service program staff collaborate on the management of the City’s open space. Staff Hill presented a status update for the adopted Major City Goal for Open Space Preservation which includes both the protection and maintenance of the open space. He added that protection and maintenance involves both planning, with the Natural Resources Roundtable and Open Space Maintenance Plan, and the “doing”, which includes new land acquisitions. The Natural Resources Roundtable is a short term adhoc committee that is advisory to the Natural Resources Manager. There are 15 members that meet and work towards the development of a 20-year vision plan for strategic land conservation efforts and sustainable program initiatives. Staff Hill anticipates bringing the strategic plan back to the Commission in the winter 2016 and in time for inclusion as part of the City’s Financial Planning Processes for the 2017-19 Financial Plan. 1-2 City of San Luis Obispo, Title, Subtitle 3 Staff Hill provided a brief update on three open space conservation projects for Meosi Brothers La Cuesta Ranch, Ahern Ranch and Waddell Ranch. He said the Maintenance program is now fully staffed with Ranger, patrol and trailhead maintenance has been provided; including interpretive signage, ADA accessible gate entries and trash receptacles. The Laguna Lake Natural Reserve Conservation Plan is underway in consideration of design, dredging options and permitting. A Public Workshop will be held at the Laguna Middle School in June. Staff Hill anticipates recommendations to return to the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council in late summer. The Laguna Lake ADA accessible pathway will be designed in-house with Public Works staff and he anticipates beginning construction next spring/summer 2017. Commission Comment Commissioner Single asked how many Rangers were staffed. Director Stanwyck responded that there is one full-time supervisor, two full-time Rangers, four part-time temporary staff and one City-worker which works approximately 1-day/week. Chair Whitener asked if the invasive species he saw on the trails was Pampas grass. Staff Hill responded there is a bumper crop this year for yucca (also called our lords candle) which looks like little white dots on the hillside. 4.REVIEW SPORTS COURT SURVEY RESULTS AND APPROVAL OF PROPOSED PICKLE BALL CHANGES Melissa Mudgett, Recreation Manager, updated the Commissioners about the 2016 Sports Court User Survey. Current recreation customers were invited to participate in the survey to provide feedback about the potential impacts on existing users with increased programming at various court facilities. Staff Mudgett provided a brief overview of the summary results. She added that City staff reviewed the 2016 Sport Court User Survey results in conjunction with the upcoming summer/fall facility reservations for the School District at Sinsheimer Tennis Courts and contract class instruction at French and Islay Tennis Courts. Overall, the survey results indicated a majority of respondents had a favorable response for allowing the temporary and limited use of pickleball at the French Park Tennis Court location noting that the sharing of the courts for multi-use with pickleball did not significantly impact their sport. Staff recommends the addition of Pickleball court striping to the French Park Basketball Court resurfacing project scheduled to occur at the end of June 2016. Once the Basketball Court resurfacing is completed, it is recommended to increase Pickleball programming twice weekly at this location (Tuesday/Thursdays 9:00am – 12:00pm). Staff further recommends the addition of Pickleball court striping to the French Park Tennis Court for Pickleball use only after San Luis High School Construction is completed. Staff anticipates these changes to the Joanna Santarsiere Memorial Tennis Court at French Park could be completed in January 2017. Once completed, staff recommends that shared use (tennis and pickleball) be allowed with drop-in rules and etiquette applying for both tennis and pickleball users. Those rules would be developed this fall and presented to the Commission for consideration. Public Comment John Stocksdale; SLO Pickleball Club, thanked the staff for bringing the survey results back to the Commission so quickly. He asked how many Pickleball courts will be placed on the French Park basketball court. Staff Mark Williams confirmed there will be three pickleball courts painted. Brian O’Kelly, SLO Resident, also thanked the Commission for adding more Pickleball opportunities. Commission Comment Commissioner Single said he supports the expanded use of Pickleball at Meadow Park and would like staff to consider adding fences at this location. 1-3 City of San Luis Obispo, Title, Subtitle 4 MOTION: (Olson/Updegrove) Approval of the proposed Pickleball program changes following completion of the resurfacing projects which shall include the striping of new pickleball courts as part of the adopted Parks Major Maintenance and Repairs capital project for court resurfacing at the French Park basketball and tennis courts. Approved: 4 yes: 0 no: 0 absent 5.APPROVAL TO ADD MULTI-COURT STRIPING OF ROLLER DERBY AT THE HAMPIAN HOCKEY RINK Melissa Mudgett, Recreation Manager, informed the Commission about the upcoming court resurfacing project as approved in the City’s adopted 2015 -17 Financial Plan. The Santa Rosa Hockey Court has been identified as the highest priority, due to the higher speeds of play and the deterioration of the rink edges contributing to player injuries. Staff Mudgett shared that for the past decade, the Central Coast Roller Derby (CCRD) has utilized this public recreational facility for both practice and competitive events. The CCRD has been using temporary taped lines which are not a preferred method as the tape can negatively impact Roller Hockey players when the tape adheres to the skate wheels and causes accidents. City staff in both Parks and Recreation and Public Works, have met with the Hockey Rink user groups to coordinate the resurfacing project. Staff Mudgett said that in a concerted effort to remain responsive to the needs of all of our recreational users, City staff is recommending the Santa Rosa Hockey Rink court resurfacing project include additional court markings for a Roller Derby track. Staff Mudgett added that the additional track markings would not pose a conflict with current uses and would be applied in a different color distinguishing the markings from the Basketball and Roller Hockey courts. She stated that there would be minimal fiscal impact as a result of the additional Roller Derby track striping as costs could be absorbed within the existing capital project budget for Parks Major Maintenance and Repairs. Public Comment Dawn Marie Little, president of the Central Coast Roller Derby association, thanked City staff for working with users groups on this resurfacing project. She added that the striping of permanent derby lines would save their association time and money used to purchase and install the tape. She asked the Commission to consider adding the additional derby lines. Darrell Goo, designer at Wallace Group and President of the Youth Roller Hockey Association, said he fully supports the multi-striping of the court with permanent derby lines. He added that the tape adhesive gets in the wheel bearings of the skates and the raised surface causes the rolling of pucks; both of which do not contribute to player safety. Commission Comment Vice Chair Updegrove asked why the rink was offset. Ms. Little responded that this was intended to be used as a buffer zone for player/audience safety, as well as locations for vendor booths and audience seating. Commissioner Single asked about the resurfacing materials. Staff Mark Williams said it was a two-part acrylic paint. Commissioner Olson asked when the resurfacing would occur. Staff Mudgett responded that the resurfacing is currently scheduled for the last two weeks in June. She thanked staff and user groups for working so well together and collaborating on this project. MOTION: (Single/Olson) Approval to add the multi-court striping of Roller Derby at the Santa Rosa Park Hampian Hockey Rink as part of the adopted Parks Major Maintenance and Repairs capital project for court resurfacing. Approved: 4 yes: 0 no: 0 absent 6.DIRECTOR’S REPORT Director Stanwyck provided a brief overview of current Parks and Recreation programming. 1-4 City of San Luis Obispo, Title, Subtitle 5 Dive in Movie will be Jaws – June 10th Friday Night Skate at SLO Skate Park the first Fridays of the month in Summer School Ends June 9th, Summer Youth Camps start June 22nd 37th Annual SLO Triathlon on July 24th Skate Camps start June 18th Movies in the Mission starts this summer Two week-long Jr Ranger Camps in June and August There is a new family event this summer: Family Overnight Camp Out in Laguna Lake Park will be held on August 13-14 7.SUBCOMMITTEE LIAISON REPORTS Adult and Senior Programming: No Report. Bicycle Advisory: No Report. City Facilities (Damon Garcia, Golf, Pool & Joint Use Facilities): No Report. Jack House Committee: Commissioner Updegrove reported that the Jack House strategic planning meeting is this Friday, June 3rd from 10:00am-3:00pm.

Director Stanwyck said she was unsure as to when the City Clerk will make the appointments. Director Stanwyck asked the Commissioners to begin thinking about nominations for the Wes Conner Award. She read the Commissioners the nomination criteria. She said she will bring back this item at a later meeting for Commissions nomination review and selection. Director Stanwyck asked the Commission about future scheduling as the Commission may wish to keep the August date as a regular meeting, even though it is typically cancelled, and consider cancellation of the December 2016 date. Commissioner Single asked with the new sub committee assignments will occur. Chair Whitener responded that assignments will be made after a full Commission is seated.

Approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission on July 6, 2016. ________________________________________________ Melissa C. Mudgett, Parks and Recreation Department Manager 1-5 City of San Luis Obispo, Fire Department, 2160 Santa Barbara Avenue, San Luis Obispo, CA, 93401-5240, 805.781.7380, slocity.org TO: Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Garret Olson, Fire Chief DATE: June 28, 2016 RE: Assessment of emergency response access and citizen egress in the area around Bishop Peak trail In response to concerns expressed by residents in the area of the Bishop Peak trail, the Fire Department and Information Technology (IT) Graphic Information Systems (GIS) staff conducted a study to assess the risk in the region, the City Fire Depart ment’s ability to access areas at risk, and the ability of residents and visitors to evacuate if so advised by emergency response personnel. In the simplest terms, the City sought to answer three primary questions: 1.Is there heightened risk that a fire in this region would pose a significant threat to the region and its inhabitants? 2.If there is a heightened risk, is the current access configuration of City streets sufficient to allow the Fire Department to respond to mitigate fires in this region? 3.If residents of and visitors to this region are requested to evacuate due to fire, is the current egress configuration of City streets sufficient to allow evacuation during fire suppression operations? To assess risk, the Fire Department provided GIS technicians with several scenarios related to a fire started in this region. Scenarios modeled included fires started on the trail, in the lower wooded area, by a car fire on Highland Drive, and by a cooking fire in the backyard of a residence. Different times of year were assessed in determining if risk is significantly influenced by weather and other seasonal patterns. Using advanced GIS tools with weather, topography, vegetation canopy, and fire behavior modeling capabilities, GIS mapped the Bishop Peak region west of Patricia Drive. GIS then modeled the four fire scenarios. The scenario involving a cooking fire was modeled using actual weather and fire behavior characteristics from Thanksgiving Day 2015, thus simulating a turkey deep fryer mishap. The other three scenarios were modeled using a date in August 2015. Again, the range in fire start locations and dates of fire start were intended to illustrate if fire risk is significantly seasonal in this region. At the July 6, 2016 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, staff will present these findings to the Commission. Fire, IT-GIS Division, Public Works-Transportation Planning & Engineering Division, and City Administration-Natural Resources staff met to assess these scenarios and to discuss potential risks in other regions of the City. Fire staff drove other areas in question to assess regions with potentially similar risk profiles. At this time, the area surrounding Bishop Peak has a unique risk profile based on many factors, including width of streets; street parking 2-1 configuration; presence or lack thereof collateral accessibility; size, type and location of vegetation; proximity of homes to each other and vegetation; and age of homes and outbuildings. Based on a preliminary assessment of the GIS modeling and the access and egress needs, the Fire Department has a concept plan to discontinue all on street parking on both sides of Highland Drive starting at Oakridge Drive as well as on the west side of Oakridge Drive starting at Highland Drive. This initial concept is open to complete revision if more creative or different solutions come to light during the process which provide the minimum necessary access and egress in the event of a fire in this region. Since Bishop Peak is a popular outdoor recreation location, the Fire Department is interested in the perspectives of the Parks and Recreation Commission. The July 6 meeting will be an opportunity for the Commission to provide feedback to staff to ensure any subsequent actions to enhance safety are well vetted by our community. Future meetings with local residents and interested citizens will be hosted as well. Questions for the Parks and Recreation Commission to consider for this region include: 1.What possible solutions to reduce fire risk would the Commissioners encourage City staff to consider, including such topics as street and parking design and vegetation management on City controlled property? 2.What possible solutions to enhance Fire emergency response access and operations would the Commissioners encourage City staff to consider? 3.What possible solutions to ensure sufficient resident and visitor evacuation needs would the Commissioners encourage City staff to consider? Thank you for your time and consideration. 2-2 Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda Report DATE: June 29, 2016 TO: Parks and Recreation Commission SUBJECT: Laguna Lake Park ADA Accessible Trail Prepared by: Dan Van Beveren, Senior Civil Engineer RECOMMENDATION Review the proposed recommendations for construction of the Laguna Lake Park ADA Accessible Trail project and recommend that the City Council approve the project as presented in the Laguna Lake Natural Reserve. DISCUSSION Background Despite the increasing amount of open space in and surrounding the City, including over 50 miles of multi-use trails, the City does not have any open space trails compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In 2015, the City Council recognized the lack of ADA trails, and in the 2015-17 Capital Improvement Plan, included a project entitled the Laguna Lake Park & Natural Reserve ADA Accessible Trail. The primary reason that there aren’t any ADA-compliant trails in the City’s open spaces is the generally steep topography of the open spaces; most open spaces tend to be located in the hills surrounding the City making ADA-compliant trails unrealistic. The Laguna Lake Natural Reserve on the other hand is located in a relatively flat area, adjacent to the northern portion of Laguna Lake Park, and has been identified as an ideal location for an ADA-compliant trail. Picture 1 – Trail Alignment 3-1 Parks and Recreation Commission July 6, 2016 Page 2 of 6 \\chstore7\PublicWorks\Projects\ActiveProjects\Parks-Landscaping\91388 Laguna Lake ADA Trail\_Documents\3- Preconstruction\Permits & Approvals\PRC staffreport- Laguna Lake ADA Trail.doc Project Scope/Design The intent of the project is to upgrade an existing trail, which runs along the northeastern edge of Laguna Lake, and to add a new section of trail along a small peninsula near the southern end of the existing trail (shown on Picture 1). Staff from the Public Works Department met with stakeholders from the Parks and Recreation and Administration Departments to get input regarding the preferred surface type to use on an ADA-compliant pathway. The surface options considered include concrete, asphalt, and decomposed granite. Both asphalt and concrete were not recommended as it was thought that these materials would negatively impact the natural setting of the open space. As the most natural looking material, decomposed granite was recommended as the preferred surfacing. Staff also recognized that by utilizing decomposed granite as the surface type for this project, it would require considerable ongoing maintenance to maintain ADA compliance. If the path surface were to deteriorate and contain any areas of loose sand, or if weeds and surface rutting were to appear, the pathway would not be considered to be an accessible pathway. This is typically what occurs on pathways constructed out of decomposed granite. Pictures 2, 3, and 4 show actual decomposed granite surfaces which have deteriorated due to lack of maintenance.

One of its members who is familiar with the challenges of maintaining decomposed granite, has installed a network of trails in her back yard utilizing decomposed granite mixed with cement as a binding agent – a method which has worked well in maintaining the integrity of the pathway surface. Picture 5 – Cement-Treated Decomposed Granite Upon further research, staff found a commercial product known as Natural Pave © which utilizes a similar process with a resin-based binder. The resin binder is mixed with the decomposed granite to provide a durable, low maintenance surface. There are numerous options regarding the color of the trail. Staff is recommending the Natural Pave product with a light tan color of the trail with standard grey concrete borders. Picture 6 – Natural Pave Resin-Modified Decomposed Granite 3-4 Parks and Recreation Commission July 6, 2016 Page 5 of 6 \\chstore7\PublicWorks\Projects\ActiveProjects\Parks-Landscaping\91388 Laguna Lake ADA Trail\_Documents\3- Preconstruction\Permits & Approvals\PRC staffreport- Laguna Lake ADA Trail.doc CONCURRENCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The design was presented to the Community Development Department (CDD) for environmental review. It was determined by CDD staff to be categorically exempt from environmental review and was issued a Notice of Exemption. Additionally, a building and grading permit application was submitted in June 2016, and is currently pending. Any conditions associated with the permit will be incorporated into the design. The Parks and Recreation Department concurs with the proposed plan and path alignment. FISCAL IMPACT The estimate of the construction cost is $348,000. This estimate includes constructing the new pathway in the “peninsula area”, and then extending the trail along the alignment of the existing trail. With a total project budget of $250,000, it is very unlikely that the entire length of the new trail can be installed. As a result, the project has been structured with a “base bid” and three “additive alternates”. The idea being that we will build as much of the trail for which the budget will provide. The “base bid” portion of the project is recommended to include the portion within the peninsula area, and the subsequent additive alternates extend the trail in the northwesterly direction. PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION CONSIDERATION The Parks and Recreation Commission purview is to review and make recommendations for changes which could have an impact on the City’s parks and park facilities. The Parks and Recreation Commission’s guidance tonight will be used to provide feedback and direction to staff regarding specific project details. Questions for the Parks and Recreation Commission to consider for this project would include: 1. What surface type would be preferred by the Commissioners in the construction of the new ADA accessible trail at Laguna Lake Park? a. Asphalt b. Concrete c. Decomposed Granite d. Resin Aggregate Flexible Paving 2. What surface color would be preferred by the Commissioners in the construction of the new ADA accessible trail at Laguna Lake Park? 3. As a result of limited project budget it is unlikely that the accessible trail system can be constructed in its entirety (approximately 3100 feet of trail network). Staff is recommending construction of the shorter “peninsula trail” loop be completed first, with the construction of the northern trail connections occurring in later phases as additional funding is made available. - Is the Commission in support of staff’s recommendation to construct the peninsula trail Loop first as part of the project’s “base bid”? - What other possible solutions to maximize trail construction would the Commission encourage City staff to consider? 3-5 Parks and Recreation Commission July 6, 2016 Page 6 of 6 \\chstore7\PublicWorks\Projects\ActiveProjects\Parks-Landscaping\91388 Laguna Lake ADA Trail\_Documents\3- Preconstruction\Permits & Approvals\PRC staffreport- Laguna Lake ADA Trail.doc NEXT STEPS Upon approval by the Parks and Recreation Commission, construction documents will be completed and the project will be presented to the City Council for approval to proceed with construction. 3-6
