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
ref ined and a revised masterplan for park improvements wi 11 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. The Park and Recreation Commission held a meeting
on March 28, 1989 in order to review the proposed masterplan.
The Commission and those members of the public in attendance were
pleased with the design and the Commission directed staff to
submit the proposed masterplan to the City Council for approval.
The masterplan prepared by Beals/Lechner Associates is based on
the original masterplan prepared by Singer & Hodges and includes
the following elements:

The preliminary budget estimate of $840,053 is approximately
$22,000 over the budgeted funds available in the 1988-93 Capital
Improvement Program. However, staff and the consultant feel that
the budget estimate can be modified and refined during Design
Development in order to fall within the funds available.
It is recommended that the City Council take the following
action:
1. Receive presentation from Ron Lechner, Principal,
Beals/Lechner, Associates
2. Receive Public Comment
3. Approve Masterplan and Authorize Consultant to proceed
with Design Development and Construction Documents
