DESCRIPTION:
On August 20, 2013, the City Council received a presentation on conceptual design alternatives
and architectural styles for the Recreation and Aquatic Complex. The City Council directed Staff
to move forward with the design based on the alternative called "The Wave" (Attachment 1).
Over the past three months, Staff and the consultant team have further refined the site design,
floor plan, and amenities. Attachment 2 is the updated floor plan. Following is a summary of the
current program and amenities:
Main Building and Natatorium
• Lobby and Reception
• Natatorium with Instruction and Fitness Pool (6,900 s.f.)

• Natatorium Viewing Area and Party Rental Space
• Fitness Center with Cardiovascular Exercise Machines
• Meeting Room
• Locker Rooms, Two Family Changing Rooms and Lobby Restrooms
• Lifeguard Break Room and First Aid Station
• Administrative Offices, Storage and Mechanical Spaces
Outdoor Spaces
• Play Pool (5,000 s.f.) with beach entry, large play structure, play elements, and water
dump bucket
• Splash Pad Play Area with water play walls and deck water play
• Slide Tower with two speed slides, one bowl slide and three loop slides
• Sports Pool (5,200 s.f.) with six lanes for competitive swimming and water polo, three
warm up lanes, timing system and scoreboard, and climbing wall.

• Cabanas, lounge chairs, tables and fire pits
• Outdoor table tennis
• Concession cart hookups
• Entrance plaza and outdoor amphitheater
The refined plans and amenities were then used to develop two themes for the preferred site
plan. One theme is "The Shore" and the other is "The Boardwalk ". Each theme uses different
material selections, colors and equipment to play off of the wave architecture of the building.
The Shore design features have been inspired by imagery of stones, pebbles, ripples, waves,
lines, layers, light and reflection. The Boardwalk theme was inspired by imagery of wood, the
shore, warmth, tide, edges, color layers and reflection.
At the City Council meeting, the Consultant will present the updated site plan, as well as color
renderings, three - dimensional modeling and image boards depicting the two themes. Staff is
seeking direction from the City Council on the preferred theming alternative.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS /PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A copy of the Staff Report was sent to the Parks and Community Services Commission, the
Dublin Green Gator Parent Committee President, and the Dublin High School Athletic Director.

DESCRIPTION:
The 2012 -2017 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes Phase I of the Emerald Glen
Recreation and Aquatic Complex (Project Number 950007).
On April 16, 2013, the City Council approved an update to the Emerald Glen Park Master Plan,
as well as the conceptual layout of the Recreation and Aquatic Complex, as recommended by
the Parks and Community Services Commission. During the meeting the City Council expressed
the desire to include the outdoor Sport Pool in Phase I of the project, as well as to finish the
remaining park improvements including the amphitheater. Based on the rate of development,
sufficient funding is available from the Public Facility Fees to include the additional
improvements in Phase I. On July 16, 2013, the City Council directed staff to include those

improvements in Phase I. Additionally the City Council directed Staff to fund $220,000 of public
art for the facility.
Dahlin Group Architecture has been working with Staff on the development of design
alternatives for the building architecture and primary building materials for the exterior of the
building. Three architectural style options were prepared for consideration by the Parks and
Community Services Commission and City Council as follows:
Option A — Civic (Attachment 1)
Option B — Boathouse (Attachment 2)
Option C — The Wave (Attachment 3)
It should be noted that for each of the style boards attached, the renderings of the building as
shown at the top of the style board are high level building massing concepts and are not
representative of the final colors and materials that would be used. The purpose of the selecting
the general architecture at this meeting is so that the Architect can begin selecting appropriate
building materials. The City Council will have another opportunity to review the building
materials and the aquatics features at a future meeting prior to the start of construction
documents.
Parks and Community Services Commission Recommendation
On July 22, 2013, the Parks and Community Services Commission received a presentation from
Staff and the Consultant about the three architectural options. The Commission voted 4 -0 -0,
with two Commissioners absent, to recommend either Option B or C in no particular priority
order to the City Council. The Commissioners felt that Option A was too bland and was not as
striking or iconic as the other two options.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS /PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A public meeting notice was sent to property owners within a 300 -foot radius of the park. A
copy of the Staff Report was sent to the Parks and Community Services Commission.
