May B, 1997 <br />Page 5 <br />D. Approval Of $67,000 For Purpose Of Adding Park Elements For <br />Newbury Gateway Park <br />Sorensen reviewed information regarding planned park development and <br />landscape improvements for the Newbury Gateway Park. He said that <br />Caltrans criteria provides only for scenic enhancements and not park <br />improvements, and therefore the picnic tables, barbecues and play structure <br />were not approved; it is staff recommendation that the project be completed <br />with District funds; the play area would still be ADA accessible; three picnic <br />tables, instead of five, would be installed; and the barbecues would be <br />eliminated, as requested by the local homeowners association. <br />Gillette said that he envisioned benches as park components. In response to <br />his inquiry, Sorensen said that the City of Thousand Oaks' contribution to the <br />park is unknown at this time, and the $67,000 allocation would be sufficient <br />to fund the benches. <br />It was moved by Gillette and seconded by Lange to approve the <br />allocation of $67,000 from PDF for the purpose of adding those park <br />elements for Newbury Gateway Park which were deleted by Caltrans, <br />plus three park benches and trash receptacles. <br />In response to Jacobsen's concern, Sorensen identified the other parks in <br />Zone IV, and ,Jacobsen suggested that the potential impact of the motion on <br />other Zone IV parks be assessed. <br />The motion carried unanimously. <br />Gillette suggested that, at the park's completion or at any future dedication <br />ceremony, David Green and the Lang Ranch Corporation be remembered. <br />9.
