STATUS REPORT: HERITAGE WAY PARK (g400042) AND
TUSTIN RANCH TREE PARK (g400041)
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND:
Heritage Way Park (fl400042): At the August 19th meeting, City Council directed staff
to negotiate an architectural services agreement with RJM Design Group, Inc. The city
just received a proposal from RJM. An evaluation of their proposal is underway.
An interdepartmental project team will be assembled to work with the architect in
identifying regulatory and operational issues during pre-design and design/development
to help expedite plan development.
Staff has indicated to the architect that an acceptable concept plan needs to be approved
by Thanksgiving.
The park site needs a name. This will be addressed as part of the public workshop.
.
Tustin Ranch Tree Park (g400041): The architect has begun design/development. This
phase consists of development of preliminary grading and drainage plans, geo-technical
reports, preliminary landscape plans, lighting plans, and architectural elevations for
structures. This phase should conclude mid-October. At that time, development of
construction documents will begin. The architect is estimating that the project will be
ready to bid by February, 1997. The park should open in October, 1997.
The Tree Park also needs a name. The Department is preparing a newsletter reporting on
the status of the park to area residents. Staff will use the newsletter to ask for name
suggestions. An ad hoc subcommittee of the Parks and Recreation Commission will
review the name suggestions.
