Ward presented an overview of site milestones, and Gilmore noted the presence of representatives of Operating Engineers, VTN Engineering, and Newman Design Group. Lee Newman described architectural characteristics and landscape features of Park Site A. Gilmore further identified site and plan characteristics including wildlife corridors, parking spaces, playfields, nature trails, open space, and the recreation building. He answered questions. In response to Board inquiries, he indicated that park lighting is planned, ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements are being considered in the park design, the design of the recreation building has not yet been refined, and storage capabilities have been designed in the facility. Jacobsen urged that thought be given at this time to a design option that would facilitate indoor basketball facilities in the recreation building. Gillette said that building a park in advance of the community is highly desirable, and Ward said that effort has been made to buffer the site from the surrounding neighborhood. Michael Markey, of Newbury Park, thanked staff for its efforts and expeditious approach; he said that escrow papers will identify lighting as one of the park elements; and he discussed the park plan and stated his support. Mike Harrison, representing Newbury Park Pony Baseball, spoke in support of the plan and its proposed baseball facilities.
