DESCRIPTION At the April 28, 1986 meeting of the
Dublin City Council, the Council adopted the Parks Masterplan
Report for Alamo Creek, Dolan, Dougherty Hills, Kolb, Mape and
Shannon Parks. Since that time Dolan and Kolb Parks have been
constructed and Alamo Creek Park, Phase I is under construction.
Renovation of the ten acre Shannon Park is scheduled for
FY88-89/89-90. In order to proceed with the renovation of
Shannon Park, the City has retained the landscape architectural
firm of Beals/Lechner Associates to prepare the final design and
construction documents for the park.
Presently Beals/Lechner is in the Analysis and Design Phase for
the Shannon Park renovation. In this phase, the program will be
refined and a revised masterplan for park improvements will be
developed. The next phase, Design Development, will address the
specifics of all the elements within the project.
Design Development is followed by preparation of construction
Documents.
Prior to proceeding with Design Development and Construction
Documents, the revised masterplan needs to be reviewed and
approved by the Park and Recreation Commission as well as the
City Council. Therefore it is recommended that the Commission
take the following action:
1. Receive Presentation from Beals/Lechner Associates
2. Receive Public Comment
3. Provide Staff and Consultant with Input
If the public and the Parks and Recreation Commission view the
proposed masterplan favorably, staff will submit it for City
Council review on April 10, 1989. If changes need to be made to
the proposed masterplan, staff recommends that another special
meeting be held on Tuesday, April 4, 1989.

Per our conversation with Beals & Lechner, my park crews have developed a
list of items for consideration for replacement, repair, and/or upgrades at
Shannon Park.
1. Irrigation
A. Northeast corner of park (rear driveway area) lacks automatic
control of irrigation systems. These systems should be redone
anyway.
B. Upgrade planting and irrigation on east side of rear driveway to
earthen V-ditch.
C. Replace existing irrigation controllers with Rainmaster RME's.
D. Replace/upgrade systems around building. These are inefficient, as
they water shrubs, turf, and path at the same time.
E. Upgrade existing systems and assure adequate coverage of these
systems.
2. Planting
A. Trim Eucalyptus at west side of park and determine long-term health
of trees.
B. Determine whether or not trees in parking lot should remain.
Increase shrubbery in parking lot.
C. Upgrade planting areas under Eucalyptus on west side.
D. Use of drought tolerant species wherever possible.
3. Structures
A. Replace preschool play equipment.
B. Wall is damaged in rear parking lot near electrical transformer.
4. Paths, A/C
A. Walkway around building needs to be redone, specifically under and
around bridge.
B. Paths are needed through parking lot landscaping.
C. Check condition of all asphalt driveways (particularly rear
driveway). There is soil movement at existing turnaround.

house.
