January 2014 At a CRPD Board meeting, Board directed staff to continue neighborhood input and outreach efforts at Kimber, Walnut Grove, Estella, and Triunfo Parks. As presented to the Board, several performance objectives regarding the OLAs were discussed from these community meetings: To provide an area where patrons could legally enjoy a more local area for their dogs to run and play off -leash • To lessen the impact on the main OLA at Conejo Creek West Additionally, several development criteria regarding the OLAs were presented: • Geography (spacing from existing dog park and each other) • Parking availability • Suitability (need, park layout) Each area proposed would consist of minimal improvements, including: • Natural earth setting (no turf/irrigation) • Chain link fencing and double gate • Signage, benches, trash receptacles, mutt mitt dispensers, scoopers, sand • One single enclosed area serving both small and large dog population • Use of existing lighting • Existing planting/shade • Closed one day per month for maintenance There were several parks throughout the District that met the criteria for an OLA site and, due to the drought, they were ideal for the development of the minimal improvements. The full Board Report is included in Exhibit 1. Apri May 2014 Staff sends notices to neighbors of Kimber, Walnut Grove, Estella, and Triunfo Parks regarding respective neighborhood meetings.
