DESCRIPTION: As approved in the 2006-2011 Capital Improvement Program,
mnMTllchon of the 2-a~re Neighhorhood Square in Dublin Ran~h Area F will begll1 111 Fis~al Year 2000-
2007 and be complete in Fiscal Year 2007-200:;. This timeframe is in sequence with the new Sorrento
housing development that sUIToUl1ds the square. In order to pro~eed with the square design, on April 4,
2006 the City Council authorized an Agreement with Keller Mitchell and Company for landscape
architectural services.
Situated in the Sorrento development, the architecture and the site amenities of the neighborhood are
dominated by Italian design motifs. With that consideration, the City's consultant was directed to develop
the square hased on Italian design principles. Another factor in the planning process is lhe mtegrahon of
the neighhorhood square northweM gateway (to he huilt hy the developer) mto the square's overall design.
As part of the community design process two workshops were held in conjunction with the Parks and
Community Services Commission. At the first workshop held on May 15,2006 three design options were
presented for puhlie input (Atta~hment 1). Following the meehng Staff posted the three design options

along with a simple questIOnnaire at the Sorrento sales office. After two weeks on display, one
questionnaire was completed.
For the second workshop held on July 10, 2ll06, the Landscape ArchItect ineorporated the results of the
first puhlic meeting and the questionnaire into the prcfelTed eonecptual square design (Attachment 2). The
proposed conceptual square deSIgn incorporates the elliptIcal shape as originally presented in Option I
The elliptIcal shape provIdes a larger centraltnrf space for unstructured play, improves the connection to
the park's main entrance, allows for enlcient circulation withll1 the square and docs not disrupt the visual
connectlOll betwcen the northwest gateway entrance, adja<;ent private recreation facihty and heyond.
Secondly, the design responds to the Parks and Comnmnity ServIces Commission's deSlfe to position thc
two play areas In close proxImity to each other
The Parks and Community Serviccs Commission reviewed the preferred conceptual square design f\Jr the
Dublin Ranch Area F - Neighborhood Square and recommends approva.1 by the City Council. Upon City
Council appro~ al of thc preferred conceptual square deSIgn, the Landscape Architect will l1litiate the
developmcnt of construction documcnts.
It should be noted that (he prelil11mary cost estimates for the Area F Square based on the prefelTed
conceptual design exceed the identificd project budget by $49,lJOO During the development of
constructIOn documents I'or the project, Staff and the Consultants will continue to refinc the scope of work
to identify potential cost savings that can be achieved wIthout eOl11prol11ismg the project deSIgn. In the
event that suffiCIent cost savmgs cannot he aclJleved, Staff will return to the Council with recommended
design modifications.
