DESCRIPTION At the March 26, 1990 meeting of the Dublin City
Council, the Council authorized staff to enter into a contract agreement
with Singer & Hodges, Inc. for the development of a kindergarten Tot Lot
at Fredericksen School. Further, staff was directed to negotiate a
development agreement with the Dublin Unified School District for the
project.
Staff and the landscape architect met with teachers and parents of
Fredericksen School on August 2, 1990 to review the preliminary design for
the Kindergarten Tot Lot. Based on the input received at that meeting, the
architect has refined a preliminary plan which will be available for review
by the Commission at the meeting.
The initial design from which the budget was developed envisioned a play
structure placed on a sand base. However there has been some concern
voiced with using sand as surfacing. Consequently staff directed the
landscape architect to investigate alternative surfaces. A summary of this
research is attached.
It is the recommendation of staff that the Commission take the following
action:
1. Receive Presentation from Singer & Hodges, Inc.
2. Receive Public Comment
3. Provide Staff and Consultant with Directions
The plan will then be presented to both the City and at the Dublin Unified
School District for approval on August 13 and 15, respectively.
