DESIGN — PRD/Wright and Jeff Scott, President, ICG.

JUNE 2Q 2019 PAGE 2 P&R COMMISSION
PRD/Wright gave a Power Point Presentation on the design process,
provided survey results, park options (designs) and asked for Commission
feedback and questions. Once the designs and costs are established, the
City Council may determine to fund the project through a variety of
options, including the General Fund options, grant opportunities and
possible propositions.
PRD/Wright responded to VC/Hsieh that with respect to the splash pad, at
both workshops, staff heard from other agencies that have them and from ,
residents who use them that they are very popular features and believe �
that many residents would use them. The YMCA at Sunset Crossing o
would be excited to have one and so would Pony Baseball. At Heritage W
Park, the Summer Day Care program would love to have a spiash pad as Q
would Castle Rock Elementary School next door. There is no doubt that �
they would be heavily used and the question is which location, as well as, z
cost to construct and maintain moving forward. Because staff is confidant Z
they would be significantly used, one can imagine the extent of the o
ongoing maintenance that the maintenance team would need to monitor �
on a daily basis. While they are nice to have, the cost must be considered �'
as well as, the number of pools in Diamond Bar parking/traffic and which N
neighborhood might use them more. N
v
�
VC/Hsieh said that because Sunset Crossing wouid have a parking issue �
Heritage Park might be a better candidate for a splash pad. She asked if o
the cost couid be cut by shutting the pad off in the winter. PRD/Wright ;
explained that if it is winterized there continues to be maintenance costs. �
Residents were concemed about parking at Sunset Crossing as well. If �
this is an important amenity to the City it does bring into question which o
park would be best suited to accommodate a splash pad. Generally ;
speaking, a splash paid is an unmanned facility similar to a skate park. Q
There is a liability issue for the City if it is staffed. Q ;
�
VCMsieh felt the City needed to spend more money at Heritage Park. °
�
0
C/Liang said it is nice to have, rather than need to have. Currently, the E
economy is good and Diamond Bar is in good shape. However, while a �
one-time construction fee is okay, the ongoing maintenance costs always �
go up and the City needs to look at this from a fiscal perspective to see
what is of more benefit to the community. Comparing Heritage with the '
Sunset Crossing reminds him of the small Washington neighborhood park
because it is right next to the YMCA and the Pony League fields and his
belief is that whatever goes into Sunset Crossing would need to cater to
those two fieids so that more youth could utilize Sunset Crossing.
PRD/Wright said he believed C/Liang's assessment was fair based on the
neighbors and both nearby organizations. C/Liang reiterated that to
compare Sunset Crossing to Heritage Park is not a reasonable
comparison to him. With Option 4, the oniy major change is to move the
restroom from its current location at Brea Canyon Road to the back of the
park. PRD/Wright said yes, option 4 relocates the restroom, updates the
Packet Pg.7

JUNE 20,2019 PAGE 3 P&R COMMISSION .
tot Iot and renovates the baseball field and leaves the basketball court in
its existing location. C/Liang asked if there was a wall behind the baseball
field to biock it from the park and the neighborhood. PMS/Jordan
explained that on the south end down below, there is a fence that
separates the baseball field and the park from the school. On the east
end of the park (the lower portion), there is a wall between the residences
on Bronco Lane and those streets that separates the park.
PRD/Wright agreed with GLiang that based on the earth work that would
be required to maintain the ball field, the cost of Option 4 was pretty close
to the other options without the amenities. �
a
C/Liang asked if the City really wanted to maintain a baseball field at W
Heritage Park. He understands that the Community Center at Heritage Q
Park is a very old building that needs some upgrading. �
�
z
C/Salo said that it seemed to him the City would keep as much open uW, '
space as possible and have ballfields and soccer fields, although they o
may not necessarily be used strictly for those particular activities. Once �
those are taken away it is difficult to find a space to have these types of �'
activities in the future and he would like to see the baseball field remain at N
Heritage Park. It seems like it would have a lower overall ongoing N
maintenance cost. He wondered what the ADA fixes would have to be �
and whether it was the siope or sides of the field or the field itseif. �
�
w
Jeff Scott pointed out on the map the entire area that needed to be ADA d
retrofitted. The bleachers and dugouts need ADA and the lighting is old �
sports field lighting and would have to be retrofitted to LED. In addition, �
by adding the fencing it is still not a regulation baseball field and is, at o
best, less than a Pony field and is essentially a practice field only. In ; ,
order to do that and because of regulations, if you have an outfield and it °
is shorter than a normal field, there has to be a field fence with netting Q
because the weekend warriors will hit balls and may hit kids in the �
playground and neighborhood. Not oniy does there have to be a chain °
link fence and wall, there has to be netting in the outfield. To just bring it u
up to standards to lower the liability risk, it becomes extremely costly. It �
might be the right thing to do but this is what has to be done from a liability �
risk to the City. Once you touch any portion of Heritage Park, the entire �
site has to be ADA retrofitted, but if you have a phased project which just
touches the site and you don't touch the building, the building can be kept
as-is for now. However, the entire site would have to be fixed including alf
of the walkway paths that do not currently meet ADA requirements.
C/Salo asked why the bathroom would not be moved to the existing
Community Center/attach it to the building.
PRD/Wright said there is no space to do that. Typically, the restroom.
needs to be located as close as possible to the tot lot. The building,
especially on the east side where the picnic area is, has a lot of slopes
and curves and it wouid be very expensive. The west side of the building
Packet Pg.8
1';.9
JUNE 20,2019 PAGE 4 P&R COMMISSION
is right up against the parking lot. The only option would be on the north ;
side where the new indoor restrooms are proposed. Some folks have
asked if they can be indoor/outdoor and the answer is they could be, but
from staff's view, that wouid be discouraged because for those that have
rented the Heritage Park Community Center for small family birthdays or
gatherings, the expectation is that the restrooms are there for them and
their guests. Staff believes there is still a need to have two sets of
restrooms in such a large community park and since the ADA issue of the
new restrooms has to be addressed, it is actually cheaper to relocate than .
replace the existing.
C/Salo said he likes the idea that the City is upgrading the existing o
Community Center and �ED lighting. He disagrees that the spiash pad W ,
should go with Heritage because of the fact that the park is very shaded Q
with lots of trees. He prefers that the splash pad be installed at Sunset �
Crossing. W ,
�
Jeff Scott explained that it is only 225 feet of outfield fence whereas, p
normal baseball fields are 250, meaning it is 25 feet short. And what �
happens is that trees end up being eliminated. The trees in this park are o
really beautiful and rarely seen in a park setting, and he believes those N
trees should be saved at al� cost. N
�
�
VC/Hsieh reiterated her desire to have the splash pad at Sunset Crossing � '
Park. PRD/Wright explained that there is no opportunity to add additional ,o
parking at either location. VC/Hsieh said that there are more young kids �
who would use Sunset Crossing and they wouid be more inclined to use a � i
splash pad. �
w
0
C/Salo said that for Heritage perhaps staff could consider disk golf which �
is pretty popular. It seems to him it would not cost too much to install °
baskets and seems like an extra feature that could be added throughout Q
the park. � '
0
w
Chair/Orona said he liked Option 2 for Heritage Park which would give �
residents the Pickleball courts they have requested. In his opinion, at �
least one of the parks needs such courts. Option 1 is also good. With �
respect to Sunset Crossing he likes Option 1 because it has everything �
included in the available space, it is ciose to the YMCA, it is close to the
Pony Baseball and he believes that this park will be used a lot. While '
parking may be a concern, a lot of people walk to this park anyway.
Overall, he likes Options 1 and 2 for both parks but prefers Option 1 for
Sunset Crossing and Option 2 for Heritage Park.
C/Salo asked if the City has looked into capturing the water that goes into
the spiash pad to water the grass. PMS/Jordan said he is not completely
familiar with that concept. However, in order to do that, one would
essentially propose a total loss system in terms of the splash pad itself.
There would have to be enough underground infrastructure to capture that
water and there would have to be an extremely large cistern to capture
Packet Pg.9
1.7
JUNE 20, 2019 PAGE 5 P&R COMMISSION
that water and later reappiy it onto an irrigation system which would also
have to be completely revamped. He knows that the cost of implementing
such a system would be pretty significant.
PRD/Wright said that water wouid have to be treated prior to re-releasing
it because it would be treated with chemicals for the splash pad. Other
agencies (9 out of 10) are recirculating the water. C/Salo said he wasn't
sure but thought it might be a requirement that the water be captured.
C/Salo said he has heard rumors that they may try to sell the Pony
League field since they are looking at building Sunset Crossing and �
wondered if that would be something the City would consider acquiring o
and developing. W
J
PRD/Wright said the City has not been approached about that issue and it �
would be a City Council decision if they were approached to do so. What z
he can say is that all four of these options would not prohibit any future �
development based on the lay of the land. o
U
C/Salo felt that 190 responses out of 56,000 households would not be a �'
good representation of people's opinions, but it is obviously valuable N
because it is the best the City has. N
a
c
VC/Hsieh said that Option 2 for Heritage seems to work well because of �
the Pickle Ball field, but considering a splash pad for Sunset Crossing o
would be a good idea if it couid replace the Pickle Ball field. ;
.�
a
c
PRD/Wright conciuded that the plan moving forward is to consolidate �
everything from Commissioner's feedback and surveys to the options from o
the public, with staft's recommendations and consultant information. This ; '
will be taken to the City Council for further discussion and conclusion and, Q
it would be beneficial if the Commission as a whole had a general Q
consensus for a recommendation at each location that staff couid forward �
to the City Council. ;�
