STAFF REPORT
PARKS & COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION
DATE: August 15, 2016
TO: Honorable Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Rosemary Alex, Parks and Facilities Development Coordinator Reviewed by Meghan Tiernan, Facilities Development Manager and Micki
Cronin, Assistant Director of Parks and Community Services
SUBJECT: Sub Area 3 Neighborhood Square Preferred Conceptual Design
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Commission will receive a presentation on the Sub Area 3 Neighborhood Square planning process and
preferred conceptual design.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Budget for Construction (including 10% contingency): $1,150,000
Cost Estimate for Preferred Conceptual Design: $1,150,000
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend City Council approval of the preferred conceptual park design.
DESCRIPTION:
The Dublin Ranch Sub Area 3 Neighborhood Square project is included in the 2016-2021 Capital
Improvement Program and approved as part of the City’s Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Budget. As shown in
Attachment 1, Neighborhood Square is located in the Irongate Development and it is also in close proximity
to Bray Commons Neighborhood Park and Fallon Sports Park. Some valuable features of the site include its
shared northern boundary with open space and trail connection, a Class I Bike Trail that crosses through the
square from north to south and proximity to a creek corridor. The community outreach and design process
for the Neighborhood Square was initiated in July 2016.
Public Process
On Tuesday July 26, 2016 a public meeting was held to solicit input from interested residents on three
conceptual designs featuring different layouts, park amenities and site furnishings. Held in an open house
format between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM, approximately 25 residents attended to provide input on the park

design. In addition to listening to verbal comments attendees were asked to complete a short survey the
results of which are included in Attachment 2.
The key input from the community resulted in the following preferences:
• Informal lawn for passive activities in lieu of sport courts
• Picnic tables for gathering
• An enhanced creek ‘overlook’
• A fabric shade structure for the picnic area
• Child fitness play equipment, swings and net play structures
• Cross training equipment geared for adults
In response to public comments and Staff review, the City’s landscape architectural consultant, PGAdesign,
has made modifications to the preferred conceptual design shown in Attachment 3. The preferred conceptual
design includes a fabric shade structure, the preferred play elements, the cross training equipment near the
intersection of the trail, bike trail and creek creating a synergy of use in that space. Additionally, one of the
elements that the public did not give clear feedback on was a preference for the play elements geared for two
to five year olds. With that in mind, Staff is seeking input from the Parks and Community Services
Commission, as well as members of the public in attendance at the Commission meeting, to provide a
recommendation on one of three options shown in the preferred conceptual design. Each option includes
the following play elements: (See Attachment #3 for play area options)
Option A Option B Option C
Curved plastic slide Double plastic slide Cozy coaster slide
Mirror panel Climber with handholds Wee planet climber
Activity table with bench Hammock Swiggly stix
Magnet stack Side ladder Xyloflin panel
Table panel House panel Optigear panel
Arch climber
Ladder rails discs
Steel drum
Nesting puzzle
Puzzle panel
Slotted panel
Crawl through tunnel
Steering wheel
Manipulative arrow panel
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A copy of the Staff Report was sent to residents who attended and signed-in at the public meeting, ‘Notify
Me’ email notification subscribers, and Lennar Homes.
