I * Introduction
1.1 Setting
Salt Creek Park is a 24-acre multi-use community park located in the
EastlakeTrails neighborhood in ChulaVista (Figure 1-1).
The park program and design follows the conditions of the EasU. a~e
Trails SPA Plan, Section II.2 'Sectional Planning Area' and Section IL2.8.
This park will provide a full range of active and passive park and recre-
ational experiences for surrounding neighborhoods and maintain the
City of Chula Vista's goal of providing a continuous greenbelt corridor
as intended by the City's General Plan.There are other recreational areas
nearby including a homeowner's association swim complex, a 4.5-acre
community Little League complex, a 2 acre man-made lalce and a natural
open space/interpretive corridor for observation and study of wildlife
and nature.
The process for the program and design of Salt Creek Community Park
took into account the other park and recreational facilities in terms of
size, amenities and their locations within the Chula Vista's city limits
(Table lq,Figures 1-3, 1-4).

1.2 HistOry
The Salt Creek Community Park site occupies what was once a part of
the Janal Ranch, a sprawling 4,436-acre ranch.Janal is an Indian word for
~spongy ground", likely named because of underground streams that
crossed the land. Henry Fenton bought Janal Ranch in 1926 and farmed
its 3,000 acres, growing lima beans and barley.
1.3 Purpose
Salt Creek Community Park is a unique park that will provide both ac-
tive and passive recreational opportunities for both adjacent and distant
users. It will be part of the City's Greenbelt trail system that ultimately
forms a 28-mile loop system around the City.
This park will maintain its link to the past by presenting a distinctive
'Early California Ranch' theme. The park's rolling terrain will be land-
scaped with turf, shrubs, groundcovers and indigenous grasses. There
will be groves of Sycamores, Cottonwoods, Eucalyptus, Peppers and Oak
trees. The architecture and support structures will simulate the charac-
ter of the 'Old farm buildings' by duplicating the materials, form and
detailing.
This park's progtara will ultimately provide the following amenities:
a. A 42' tall, 20,000 s.f. gymnasium that includes an office, lobby,
restrooms, weight room, locker rooms, teen center and parking for
150 cars.
b. Two playfields for community team sports.
c. Two tot lots - one for small children (2-5 years old) and one for
older children (5-12 years old).
d. Picnic areas with furnishings and shade shelters (6 total).
e. Theme type bridges (3 total) for linking trail system for pedestri-
ans, bicycles and vehicular maintenance access.
f. Loop trail system that links to Greenbelt system with measured
jogging trails and par course stations.
g. Sport Courts for outdoor Basketball (2 total), tennis (2 total) and
speed soccer (1 total).
h. Skate area
i. Natural Interpretive andWetland mitigation areas.
j. Restroom facilities (3 total) that service the gymnasium, teen
center and playfields.
In addition to obtaining DRC approval for the recreation building and other
structures within the park, the project requires approval of a Zone Variance
to increase the building height from 35 feet to 42 feet. Also, approval of a
tentative map "substantial conformance" from the Engineering and Plan-
ning and Building Departments is required for authorizing an increase in
pad elevation from 533 to 540.These processes and entitlements will be
secured during the design development process and prior to final approval
of the project and issuance of building permits.

2.1 F~ri-~ttng Conditiol~s
The following is a brief description of the natural and man-made re-
sources that are currently present on the park site. This informations
serves as background ilfformation for recommendations included in this
master plan.This information was obtained from the City of ChulaVista,
completed reports, and site surveys by the consultant team. A summary
of the existing conditions are shown on Figure 2-1, Site Opportunities
and Constraints.
ydrology
A predominant feature incorporated into Salt Creek Community Park is
the Salt Creek corridor. A 10' wide creek corridor (slightly realigned
with the EastLake Trails subdivision development) that is to flow unin-
terrupted through the park and ultimately connecting to the Otay River.
The creek enters the park's north end through a 12' x 12' colored con-
crete box culvert underneath the Otay Lakes Road. There is no signifi-
cant vegetation established within the corridor at this time.
Biology
There are a number of large eucalyptus trees existing on the site that
could be utilized or preserved if they were healthy. Unfortunately, all of
these trees have been infected with the Red Lerp Phys'Rid. There has
been some analysis and recommendations for treatment of the trees, but
some have already died and been removed. Another report was com-
pleted by a certified arborist oud the findings are included in Appendix
A confirming the poor conditions of the trees.

Park Master Plan
DESIGN FACTORS AND PROGRAM ELEMENTS
4.1 Site Status
Thc entire site is 24 acres located south of tray Lakes Road, in thc
Easrl~lcc Community of Chula Vista, with residential development to
thc cast and west of thc project site and wetland mitigation to thc south.
This park is to bc dedicated as a City community park.
4.2 Public Access and Images
Thc park has been designed as a multi-usc park with large recreational
fields and courts as well as passive areas for lawn play and picnicking
(Figure 4-1, Site Plan; Figure 4-2, Entry Perspective; and Figure 4-3, Park
Cross Sections). In addition, the park design links to the Chula Vista's
Greenbelt Trail System. The park provides easy access, flexibility and a
flowing relationship between all activities and facilities.
The Salt Creek Corridor is a major feature that runs through the park
site.The Salt Creek drainage flow enters the community park at the north-
em boundary from a culvert that runs under Otay Lakes Road and con-
tinues in a southerly direction ultimately reaching the Otay River. Boul-
ders and riparian plant.type material will be incorporated along the creek
for enhanced accents as well as benches for rest and enjoyment.
The theme of the park maintains the images of the past with an "Early
California Ranch~ character that integrates ~pasmre-like~ grass areas, a
pedestrian trail system, sports facilities with "ranch" style architecture.
4.3 Plant Materials
All perimeter slopes and landscape areas will be planted with aestheti-
WLqdmill image repres~talive of cally pleasing,drought tolerant trees, shrubs and groundcovers. The plant
"rancho" theme palette will combine native-like and drought tolerant species in the in-
formal walking and gathering areas and more traditional planting and
park irnprovements in the organized activity areas. Cottonwood, oak and
syca~nore trees will be incorporated throughout the site to promote an
indigenous linkage with the"ranch style~ theme and continuity. Recom-
mended plant materials arc included inTable 4-1.

4.4 Circulation
The play and group picnic areas are located in close proximity to the
recreation building and comfort station, easily accessible from the park-
ing lot and adjacent on-street parking. Park mallatenance personnel are
provided access to all park facilities by way of a 10-12 foot minimum
wide path of either a CTB (cement treated base) in areas where vehicu-
lax' traffic occurs on steep gradients or a decomposed granite surface. H-
20 loading is required for the sewer trucks at the manhole access road.
These pathways also serve as the foundation for a complete pedestrian/
:;'" ' bicycle system with periodic seating and overlook areas. Par courses are
located periodically along the path with distance markers for the seri-
Bike Racks ous exercise enthusiasts. Bike racks are to be provided throughout the
park site.
The paving adjacent to the recreation building will be a cast-in-place
concrete with enhanced concrete finish within the building courtyard
and vehicular entry drive.
Ail buildings, parking areas, fields,courts, children's play areas and group
picnic areas are to be fully accessible for the disabled.
4.5 Recreation Building
The Recreation Building will house a gymnasium, weight room, teen
annex and various support facilities (Figure 44, Architectural Elements
- Recreation Building). This building will be the ~focal point~ of the park,
and it will be highly visible as you approach the park from the west on
Otay Lakes Road. The building will be designed around a central court-
yard, reminiscent of the layout of early California ranches, while provid-
ing visibility and security of all the building's spaces. The building will
be fully accessible to persons with disabilities.
Final Draft , ~ Page 31
January 2003
Thc building's spaces will be carefully designed to draw breezes through
the structure for natural ventilation. Windows will be provided for
daylighting and all equipment will be selected for energy and life-cycle
efficiencies.
Materials will be chosen to provide durability, safety and low mainte-
nance. Steel roofing, stucco, and malmfactured stone for walls and pilas-
ters carry forward the park's theme, while gentle arches and wood trel-
lises tie the building into the surrounding residential neighborhood
4.6 Comfort Station
The comfort station is centrally located in the park, in close proximity
to the parking lot and children's play areas. The building will provide
accessible restroom facilities for men and women, to conform with the
Americans with Disabilities Act (Figure 4-5, Comfort Station). Also in-
cluded in the building is a small storage area for the Park and Recreation
Department use. The building will be designed for natural ventilation
and daylight, and materials will be selected that match the main Recre-
ation Building and provide durability and low maintenance. Restroom
facilities will also be located at the Recreation Building.
4.7 Shade Structure
Small shade structures are located throughout the park, in dose proxim-
ity to courts, skate area and creek. These special features will provide
semi-shade for the park users. Picnic tables will be located beneath the
structures. The structures are of powder coated prefabricated steel con-
struction roof lines, materials and color to blend with the recreation
building.
Large shade structures are lo-
cated within dose proximity to
the recreation building, parking
lot, children's play equipment

4.20 Trash Enclosure
Two (2) trash enclosures will be included on the project site. One enclo-
sure will be located close to the recreation building, off of the entry
drive for truck accessibility. This enclosure shall be large enough to ac-
commodate bins for all solid waste, yard waste and recyclables. Materi~
als will be CMU with a stone veneer facing, and a wood truss overhead.

A small~'/trash enclosure will be located on the southern end of the
park site, in close proximity to the adjacent homeowners association
facility off of North Creekside Drive. This enclosure shall accommodate
a bin for solid waste and a bin.for greenwaste. Materials and color shall
be similar to the other trash enclosure.
4.21 Parking Facilities
The main parking area, located in the park site off of Otay Lakes Road
are to accommodate park users only. There are 155 full size parking
stalls (9'x20'), which includes (8) fight spaces for the physically dis-
abled. Planter islands will be provided within the lot and along the pe-
rimeter for shading and temperature control. A total of 72 additional on-
street parking spaces will be accounted for on Old Janal Ranch Road
and North Creekside Drive (36 spaces per each street), for a total of 237
spaces. In addition, 4 spaces on each street shall be provided to accom-
modate for either loading/unloading or no parking areas.
4.22 Site Lighting
All parking areas, recreation building, restroom Facility, circulation areas,
walkways and ramps are to be lighted with high pressure sodium fix-
tures for security and pedestrian circulation. Sports field lights will be
lighted with metal halide fixtures and axe provided for nighttime activi-
ties on the tennis and basketball courts as well as the speed soccer field
in accordance with aa good neighbor policy to be turned off before
11:00 p.m.
The design shall take into consideration the adjacent homeowners of
the project site. The ~themed'light fixtu~s have been designed to keep
pole heights to a minimum to eliminate light spillage onto the adjoining
residential properties.The proposed fixtures are shade-type fixtures with
150 watt, high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps and mounted 14-16 feet
above the walkway. HPS lamps are High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps
that produce a warm whl~te light. They have a relatively long lamp life
and are one of the more efficient lamps available for security lighting.
The pedestrian security light is a decorative shade cutoff type with flat
lense to limit glare to area residents.The lamp, reflector and diffuser are
above the rim of the fixture.The fixture is mounted at 15 feet on a hori-
zontal arm offset from the pole and the post is away from the edge of
the sidewalk. The
lamp souse is 150 L'
watt tIPS (high pres-
sure sodium) to pro-
vide best efficiency
and lamp life. The
light source is a pink-
Path Light "
ish white light.
Final Draft Page 45
January 2003
The parking'lot fmture is a cutoff (shoebox) type of fixture that would
line the perimeter of the parking lot(s). The design is a streamlined
shoebox with a cutoff fixture mounted at 30 feet. The lamp source is
250 watt I-IPS.
The sports lighting fixtures are also cutoff shoebox type fixtures mounted
along the sides of the sports courts. Sports lighting poles will be 40 feet
high for speed soccer, 30 feet high for basketball and 16-20 feet high for
tennis.All fixtures will use metal halide lamps which have a shorter lamp
life but provide a whiter light, which is preferrable where color rendi-
tion is important. The sports fixtures will incorporate forward throw
optics that "push" the light forward when located at the sides of the
Parking Lot and Court Light courts.
Twin pedestrian-scale post lights similar to those mentioned above will
be installed in the main entry walkway to the front of the gymnasium
building.
Bollards, low 36"-40" column type fixtures with low wattage I-fPS lamps,
will also line the entry walkway leading to the gymnasium building. The
bollards will be located at the trellis locations adjacent to the parking
Ground-mounted flood lights will be incorporated, as necessary, for
signage, monument, and (or) la. ndscape lighting as more precise loca-
tions become known.
4.23 Fencing
A pre-cast concrete split rail type fence is proposed along the frontage
LightP0stDelail road of Otay Lakes Road and at the group picnic area and view deck
surrounding the recreation building. The color of the fence is to be tan.
w00d Entry Gate A wood-like gate is pro-
posed at the front entry
into the park,offof Otay
Lakes Road. This gate is
to close off the park to
patrons after hours.
..~ The remaining fencing
~ ,~c~ along the trails within
the park are designed to
match the lodgepole
~' ~- ' ~ fencing that has been
~ ~ ~ ,/ ~ used throughout the
Chula Vista's Greenbelt
Trail Linkage system.
Page 46 city of Chula Vista
The fenciiag is intended to direct and encourage pedestrians to use the
designated access points into the park. Special pedestrian entry design
will include removable wood-like pole bollards, boulders and planters
to prevent vehicles from entering the park site but allow pedestrian and
the physically impaired access.
Split Rail Fence with Seat Wall
4.24 Salt Creek Coi-i-ldor
The 10' wide Salt Creek Corridor will be demarcated on both sides of
the creek to define the limits of work for park maintenance personnel.
Materials to delineate boundaries are randomly placed pavers on grade
between the creek and lawn areas, and boulders informally located in
groundcover areas approximately 15-20' o.c. If additional demarcation
is required along the colTidor, th~ use of 4' x 4' x 2' high woodqike posts
could be placed informally between the boulders. These ~osts can be
painted green to blend in with the adjacent landscape.
Shrub and groundcover areas located along the corridor will consist of
riparian-like plants that blend with the riparian materials within the creek
corridor, in addition, the shrub beds will aid in discouraging park users
from easily running through the creek. Creek crossings have been pro-
vided at a couple locations with the random placed pavers on grade and
stepping stones in the creek. (Figure 4-6, Salt Creek Sections)
4.25 Wetland Mitigation Area
The wetland mitigation area located directly'to the south of this project
site will be carried through into the southerly portion of the park site.
This area will remain open space and incorporate the habitat within the
Salt Creek Corridor.

4.29 Grading
The EastLake Company has previously graded this future park site, and
an as-built grading report is available. There is an approximate 58'grade
difference from the north end of the site to the south end.The site has
three existing pads that step down with the grade change.
The park master plan proposes to raise the grade at the north end of the
site adjacent to Otay Ialces Road to create more efficient accessibility
into and out of the park site, as well as minimize the need for retaining
walls.
In addition, the plan proposes to raise the central portion of the park,
east of the creek, to avoid damage to the parr facilities during potential
5, 10, 25 and 100 year floods per the results of the HEC analysis pro-
vided by the EastLake Company.
The EastLake Company has proposed to deliver the import soil needed
for this project, as well as complete the rough grading and soil compac-
tion as identified on the park conceptual plan.
4.30 Ici-lgation
All planting areas will receive complete irrigation coverage by means of
an automatically controlled, electrically operated underground state-of-
the-art sprinkler system. The irrigation system will be designed for re-
claimed water use.All specified irrigation materials shall conform to the
latest edition of the Water Agency Standards. Irrigation zones shall be
determined and designed to achieve maximtwn efficiency and distribu-
tion uniformity. The system will be controlled by an automatic control-
ler capable of adjusting run times based on the evapotranspiration rate,
as well as accommodate all the benefits of flow sensing. The master
valve and flow sensor shall be provided a the point of connection to
protect the system from high flows in the event of supply line breaks or
head breaks.

Re: Eastlake Co~munity Park AH
Dear Kerr:
I have inspected the eleven eucalyptus trees at the site of the
future park at Eastlake and have observed that all trees are in
decline at this time.
Factors which will affect survivability in the next six to twelve
months will b~:
1. Installation of temporary irrigation system for the
strongest five trees {Sugar gum species}.
2. Improving drainage to the trees.
3. Reestabllshln~ original grade to the trees which have had
grade changes.
Removal of weak trees at this time (Red gum trees that are
infested with Red Oum LerD Psyllld).
· 5. Pruning of remaining five trees in the next twelve months
to remove dead limbs only.
6. Installation of mulch beds under the reinalning trees.
The larges~ five trees at the easternmost part of the project are
EucalyPtus cladocalyx {Sugar gum) and are the trees most likely to
survive ~he construction process. The remaining trees are Eucalyp-
tus c~maldulen$i$ (Red gum) species and are in severe decline,
offering little hope of survival.
I recommend that all Red gum trees be removed prior to any further
work in the area and that remedial grade work be done for sugar gum
trees alon~ with thelnstallation of temporary irrigation (or manual
irrigation) and further monitoring of tree health. Survival of the
remaining trees depends on the level of futur~ construction activity
in proximity to the trees. In some ca~es of construction damage to
root systems, there is no post-construction repair possible.
I recommend careful planning at this time for all future work in the
areas of trees. Please feel free to contact our office if you need
any additional information.
Yours truly,

The Eastlake Company: G. Community Members Questions &Answers:
Natasha Marttnez 1. W'dl the creek have stagnant water? W'tll it smell? The
water flows into Otay Iakes. The team took into account
KTU+A DesignTeam: the concern for smelly water from the creek but did not
Kurt Carlson - Principal know if that would be the case as they felt that water
Cheil Blamer - Landscape Ar- would be flowing most of the year thus reducing the
chitect potential for stagnant water. The. team will research.
Penny Clews - Park Designer 2. Will there be an area for dogs? We discussed that if this
was on the list of priorities it will in fact be considered.
Consultant Team: The team poInted out that there are other parks within the
sandy Gramley - PlattX~hitelaw ChulaVista General Plan that have been designated to
& Assoc. incorporate dog areas.
Paul Hobson -Artist 3. What kind of amenities can be found in the surrounding
parks? The team referred to the board containing "existing
and proposed patks' in the City of ChulaVista, along with
their site amenities, for the community members to come
up and review.
4. What is the budget? Does this include the gymnasium?
John Krizan indicated that.the budget was approximately
$4 million and that did not include the gymnasium. Source
of funding is being determined by City of Chula Vista for
the gym.
5. What is the schedule for completion of this park? Antici-
pate two years for completion of project construction
from time Master Plan is approved. City requires one
growing season prior to tm'nover.
6. Is there a multi purpose field at the Little League lot? Are
the fields lit? Team needs to locate Little League field plans
to determine if there is a multi-purpose field designed into
the project. The fields are not lighted. KTU+A has found
that there is not a multipurpose field located on this site.

Salt Creek i Workshop Presentation:
Community Park A. Introduction and overview of Workshop 1 (Kurt Carlson)
· Welcomed those who attended and introduced team
Workshop 2 Briefly reviewed program, site analysis board, bubble
diagram for park layout, historical board, existing and
proposed park amenities
Workshop Date: · Discussed process of community members breaking up
Saturday, May 11, 2002 into groups @ first workshop and developing park layout
with objectives and priorities.
City of ChulaVista: B. Presentation of (3) proposed alternatives (Cheri Blamer)
John Krizan, Jack Brady, Sunny 1. "Sports as aTheatre~ or Sports Park
Shy, Todd Schmit 2. ~Rancho~ theme
3. "Meadow Creek" theme
KTU+A DesignTeam:
Kurt Carlson - Principal C. Community Members Input / Concerns:
Cheil Blamer ~ lauadscape Ar- 1. Inquired about width of planting area @ perimeter of park.
chitect Requested a large enough buffer zone between street and
Penny Clews - Park Designer park to screen view and noise from adjacent residences.
2. Parking is a concern of adjacent homeowner's.
ConsultantTeam: · Parking from the Little League field is already spilling
Sandy Gramley - PlattWhitelaw into a large portion of North Creekside Drive on-street
& Assoc. parking.
Two future homeowner's were not aware that this site
was going to bca community park.
· Robin (community member) stated that there has been
a sign posted on the project site for nine (9) months
indicating that"this is the future site of a commtmity
park'. City stated that the park plan has been a part of
development planning all along (at least 10 years).
· Those present asked if the City had an overriding
concern for on-street parking. The City stated that
street parking offsets large parking lot on site.
· Some residents concerned about pandamoulum on
streets. Community inquLred as to quantity of events
and how those events will draw more pa~_king.
A community member felt that people should be
encouraged to walk to the park instead of drive.
Suggested posting signs to encourage walking.
Sunny Shy stated that this is a City community park as
opposed to a neighborhood park and the gymnasium
is a City need. The park needs to be pedestrian friendly
considering people drive "big' cars these days that
need to be accommodated for.
3. Axe the trails interconnected for rtmning / walking?Are
trails marked for distance? Yes
4. Will fields be designated for leagues? Yes, by the City
5. Will the multipurpose field he lighted? No, oniy-the areas
adjacent to the gym.
Final Draft Page 63
January 2003 ~
Workshop 2 6. What is thc grading like @ thc Salt Creek Drainage Corri-
dor? The grade is at or slightly higher on each side of the
creek. There may be gently mounded areas outside of the
buffer zone.
7. Is thc gym two story? No
8. How is the program elements for parks determined?
Sunny Shy indicated that surveys are distributed to
adults and young people, principals @ schools etc. to
find demand.
Need more areas for older children to play. Play
equipment is now geared for older children as well.
Preferable to separate younger and older children's
play areas.
Looking for informal play (i.e. skate parks) as kids need
a place to go. Skateboarders will skate anywhere and
many times they skate where it's unsafe. Want to give
them an area that is acceptable and out of harms way.
9. Discussed amount of activities and amenities of the park.
· Concern about the amount of people the park will
draw with regards to park prong.
Robin (a workshop participant) pointed out the fact
that other Eastlake communities have so many more
private amenities (pools, parks, tennis courts) that are
not available to the Eastlake Trails community .This
park site is their ~community's" park and should
provide amenities that the community can use.
· Someone asked if this park was only to serve Easflake
Trails Community? No, this is a City park with no
barriers - 'available to all'
10. A couple participants favored the 'Meadow Creek' theme.
They felt that reducing the activities to passive play @ the
south end of the park, with mounded lawn and picnic
areas, lent itself more to the open green space they envi-
sioned for this area. It was also suggested to add the
following features: Frisbee golf and skate park (remove
one basketball court if necessary).
11. Question was asked if fields will be lighted. Also inquired
about park hours for lighting. Lighting at multipurpose
field will not occur. Court lights for basketball, tennis and
speed soccer will be incorporated. Lights will be provided
throughout the park for circulation and safety. Lights will
be controlled by timers to be determined by the
community's needs. The gym is usually open around 6:00-
6:30 a.m. until approximately 9:30-10:00 p.m. in other
Chula Vista parks.
12. Time for completion - Depending on funding, the park
may be built prior to the gymnasium. Kurt "guesstimated"
the park could be completed by approx, end of 2003~
beginning of 2004.
Workshop 2 '13. Sunny discussed the size and park prog~mming for a 10
acre park site in Eastlake development: ~Sunset View Park~
which will include (2) regulation soccer fields, roller
hockey, children's play areas, basketball courts, tennis
courts, etc.
14. When mentioning ~Sports Park, someone indicated that
passive parks are needed these days too.
15. The park commissioner ~Don~, expressed that in regards to
field usage there is not enough fields, there is a shortage
~ and it will only get worse. A large field can be broken
down into 2-4 games running width-wise on the field.
16. How will park affect value of home!? Kurt Carlson felt it
will most likely increase the valueof the homes substan-
tially.
17. Will the wetland area be natural? There is fencing to
separate the wetland axea from the park and signage
indicating that this area should not be entered nor dis-
turbed.
18. Is it possible to go to the City of ChulaVista to request red
painted curbs (on North Creekside Drive? Yes, anyone can
request a review of the situation.
19. Those present felt that these workshops were not publi-
cized enough. A couple of the new homebuyers just
happened to hear about it at the last minute. They felt that
there are a lot of people who don't live in the surrounding
homes yet that may have input. Kurt explained that the
process needed to be started. The park has been in the
works for over 10 years now. It will still take another
couple of years to be completed. Cheri stated that 6500
flyers were sent out in the mail within a 3 mile radius
around the park site, the developer's were to notify the
new homeowner's and it was announced in the commu-
nity newsletter:
20. Robin stated that she preferred the "Rancho~ theme. She
requested 220 parking spaces on the site to help eliminate
some of the off-street parking. She likes the amphitheater,
NO on lighting field(s),YES on informal skatepark @ pump
station because of noise factor, likes trail linkage (stroller
walking), good number of access points into and out of the
park, (2) fields good, open field good.
21. One participant did not like the amphitheater seating in
the "Rancho" theme. He thought it was too much concrete
and when explained to him that it would most likely be of
wood-like risers and lawn / groundcover @ treads, he
found that more acceptable. He also inquired as to how
- many people it would seat? It was ~guesstimated' approx.
75-100 people.
22. Where are the facilities on the "Rancho~Theme (i.e.
restroom, shade shelters, etc.)? Can organizations use
Final Draft . Page 65
January 2003 ·
Workshop 2 covered picnic areas and are there enough? Those present
were assured that organizations could usc thc facilities as
scheduled through the City. All the schemes indicate two
large shade shelters with electrical hook ups, easily acces-
sible to parking, tot lots and restroom facilities as well as
scattered picnicking can be found throughout the park.
23. NO "McDonalds' type play structure equipment @ the
chlldrens's play areas.
D. Next workshop will be determined at a later date and commu-
uity members that axe on the workshop address llst will be
notified.
The above mentioned items of discussion are not exhaustive. Please re-
view and if there are any items that need to be revised, added or deleted
let me know as soon as possible and I will incorporate them into the
meeting minutes.

Fiscal Impacts
The Park cost of $7,300,000.00 is to be funded fi.om several sources. In conformance with the City's
Parkland Acquisition and Development Ordinance the EastLake Company has contributed
approximately $2,667,000.00 in park development fees and per the "Amended and Restated
Development Agreement between the City of Chula Vista and The EastLake Company" will
contribute another $2,123,000.00. Additionally the EastLake Company has agreed to contribute
another $150,000.00 towards additional site grading costs. The balance of the monies,
$2,356,000.00, would be funded with Public Facilities Development Impact Fees and fi'om in lieu
PAD fees paid to the City with the Ayres/Sunbow Agreement. The use of these funds for this project
is consistent with the terms of the Agreement.
The Recreation Complex cost of $6,330,000.00 is to be funded by Public Facilities Development
Impact Fees.
Staffhas performed a review of the preliminary estimates of probable cost for park construction, and
the initial establishment/maintenance period, prepared by the design consultant team. Changes to the
cost estimates are anticipated as the Park Master Plan evolves into construction drawings, and as
actual park construction commences. However, staff is of the opinion that the estimates are an
adequate representation of anticipated costs for the improvements proposed.
After the initial turf establishment period of one year, future park maintenance costs for the public
park will be paid through the City's General Fund.

Chair Perondi asked fh(]f Commissioners provide their questions on the park and recreation facility one
at a time.
Commissioner Sfrahl asked why the multi-purpose field was not lit.
Mr. Krizan (Landscape Architect) responded that the response received from residents at lhe workshops
was not to have the lighted fields.
Commissioner Rude asked what was considered a passive park.
Ms. Blatner responded that benches are placed throughout the park, salt creek, boardwalk, and trails
on east and west sides of parks.
Commissioner Weidner asked if the two restrooms attached to the recreation building were accessible
when the recreation facility is closed.
Ms. Gramley of Platt/Whitelaw responded that the restrooms are accessible, and locked separately.
Mr. Krizan also responded that the restrooms in the facility would be open during park hours.
Chair Perondi inquired (]bout a controlled intersection at the entrance of the park.
Mr. Krizan responded that yes, Otay Lakes Rd (entrance of the park) would have signal light.
Commissioner Rios asked about fha windmill size, and could that area be better utilized with a shade
structure. The concern is that it could be used a climbing structure.
Mr. Carlson responded that the windmill is not large, but is large enough to see from afar, which
continues the theme. In addition, the team has looked at ways to not have this become climbing
structure.
Commissioner Salcido stated that he would like to see a small windmill placed on top of a shade picnic
structure.
Mr. Carlson responded that he thought this was a good idea.
Commissioner Salcido asked about the lights at multi-spoils fields and light spillage affecting surrounding
homes. Is it cost effective to install underground wiring for future lighting, after planted trees (if any)
could grow and shade the lighting spillage.
Mr. Carlson stated that they resPonded to the need of the community.
Commissioner Rude stated that she feels that the community wasn't well represented and wants to see
the field lighted.
Commissioner Ramos stated she likes the idea of placing a small windmill structure on top of shade
structure.
Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes- January '16, 2003 4
Commissioner Weidner stated that if the multi-field is in a "valley", why would lights be a 3roblem with
spillage?
Mr. Carlson responded that the lights are 65- 70 feet.
Ms. Hofmockel (Principal Landscape Architect) responded that she sees that the commission has the
same concerns that they had with lighting at Veteran's Park. Rather than going over the same
concerns, the commission should recommend to staff to explore effods for lighting, and develop a
strategy that will accommodate issues with lighting (similar fo Veteran's Park).
Commissioner Strahl would like to see the Skate area lit.
Commissioner Weidner stated that she does not want to see the Skate area lit.
M$C (Strahl/Weidner) ('/-0-0-0) approve the Dra# Master Plan for the 24-acre public community park
site in the EostLclke Trails subdivision os presented, and direct staff fo include lights of the multi.purpose
field; and include the requirement fhaf lights ore to be included (multi-purpose field) as part of the
design element process. In addition, staff will need fo review the park/rig issue and windmill os a safety
issue.
MSC Perondi/Salcido (7-0-0-0) to move item 4C Friendship Park Homeless Issue out order on the Agenda.
4c Friendship Park Homeless Issue - Police Agent Joe Cargel and Office Jeff Hobson talked about the
homeless issue at Friendship Park. Agent Cargel stated that their department has been tracking
homeless from this park and other parks.
Officer Hobson stated that their depadment keeps statistics on homeless in the parks. They have
noticed that this type of unfavorable activity has declined.
Two items that could help alleviate this problem, is changing the Municipal Code to no alcohol and also
implement a tot-lot in the park.
Chair Perondi stated that he would like this item placed on the Agenda for February for further
discussion.
