Sean Diamond Neighborhood Park —Approval of Preferre Concept Park Design
and Design Development Services
Prepared by Rosemary Alex, Parks and Facilities Development Coordinator
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The 2014 -2019 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes funding to complete the design of
Sean Diamond Park. As part of the design process, Staff is seeking City Council approval on
the Preferred Concept Park Design for this 4.8 -acre park located in the Positano subdivision,
and approve a scope of work from Environmental Foresight under an existing on -call services
contract to provide design development services, including the preparation of construction
documents, and the provision of support through bidding and construction.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The 2014 -2019 CIP included a budget of $200,000 in Fiscal Year 2015 -16 for the design of
Sean Diamond Park, of which $155,100 is remaining. Environmental Foresight's proposal for
design development services is $115,000. The current estimate for construction of the Preferred
Concept Park Design, including a 10% contingency, is $1,482,222. This amount is under
construction estimate of approximately $1,500,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the presentation, approve the Preferred Concept
Park Design, and approve the Environmental Foresight scope of work for design development
services.

DESCRIPTION:
\ Reviewed By
Assistant City Manager
Page 1 of 3 ITEM NO. 7.1
In May 2015, the City Council adopted its 2014 -2019 Capital Improvement Program and
included funds for the community design planning process for Sean Diamond Neighborhood
Park. As shown in Attachment 1, Sean Diamond Neighborhood Park is located in the Positano
subdivision and is in close proximity to Positano Hills Neighborhood Park and the future Jordan
Ranch Neighborhood Park. The park is bounded by Positano Parkway, East Cantara and La
Strata Drives and is to the immediate west of Jose Maria Amador Elementary School.
Listening Phase
In early August 2015, the City contracted with Environmental Foresight to prepare preliminary
design alternatives through the public planning process. In advance of the first public meeting,
an online survey was conducted to solicit feedback on park amenity preferences, and the survey
received more than 200 responses. On Saturday, September 19 at Amador Elementary School,
the first public meeting was attended by approximately 35 community members. At the meeting,
survey results were shared and the attendees participated in a group exercise, the goal of which
was to develop a park concept with various program elements within the construction budget of
approximately $1.5 million.
Interpretation Phase
As part of the Interpretation Phase of the process, Environmental Foresight analyzed the
feedback from the first public meeting and the survey, and developed three concept plans for
the park. A second public meeting was held on Saturday, November 7, and approximately 20
community members attended. At the meeting, three park concepts were presented, and
attendees provided both verbal and written feedback regarding their preferences for the park. In
addition, an online survey was conducted from November 10 —18 to gather public input on the
three concepts.
Refinement Phase - Preferred Concept Park Design
Environmental Foresight worked to incorporate the comments from the public meeting and the
survey results into the Preferred Concept Park Design (Attachment 2), which includes the
following amenities:
• Central gathering point with public art as focal point in center of park
• Playgrounds for children ages 2 -- 5, and ages 5 — 12
• Tennis court
• Picnic area
• Grass volleyball court
• Restroom building
• Interior pathways for circulation and exercise
The Preferred Concept Park Design is influenced by a few key factors. Based on feedback from
the residents with homes in close proximity to the park, the play elements, picnic, barbeque and
restroom were shifted to the northeast portion of the park in closer proximity to the school and
away from residences. In addition, due to budget constraints, the gazebo in the rose garden
was replaced as a future location of a public art piece. The site furnishings, restrooms, and play
structure were also revised to reflect the more contemporary appearance of the park that the
public preferred.
On December 14, 2015 the Preferred Concept Park Design was presented to the Parks and
Community Services Commission. After receiving public comment, the Parks and Community
Services Commission unanimously recommended approval of the design to the City Council.

In addition to seeking approval of the Preferred Concept Park Design, Staff recommends the
City Council approve a scope of work with Environmental Foresights under their existing on -call
services contract to provide design development services, including preparation of construction
documents, and support through bidding and construction. The scope of work for the proposed
services is shown in Attachment 3.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS /PUBLIC OUTREACH:
Notifications were emailed to residents who participated in the public workshops during
conceptual design, and the Sean Diamond Neighborhood webpage was updated with the
information regarding the presentation to City Council. In addition, a copy of the Staff Report
was sent to Environmental Foresight and the Parks and Community Services Commission.
