COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
COLUMBUS TUSTIN TASK FORCE: PHASE II RECOMMENDATIONS
TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. To include the solution of the acoustical and portable staging problems at
Clifton C. Miller Community Center in the City Hall remodel.
2. To complete the second stage of Columbus Tusttn Park in two phases'
a. The first phase is parking lot expansion and perimeter landscaping;
however, drainage plans must be addressed prior.
b. The second phase is the gymnasium, located as shown on the new site
plan dated November 30, 1987, attached.
3. At such time when working drawings are done on Phase 2b, (the gymnasium), the
Task Force will be reinstated and consulted as a part of design review.
BACKGROUND:
At Council's direction, the Columbus Tustin Task Force reconvened November 30,
1987. The Task Force included both the original members and new residents. At
this meeting, staff gave a brief history of the Columbus Tustin Park Task Force
and project, brought the Committee up-to-date on the proposed City Hall expansion
(including renovation of the Clifton C. Miller Community Center), and related the
plans for the Tustin Area Senior Center. Staff summarized the Council direction
to the Task Force that the site should be utilized for gymnasium, picnic area, and
expanded parking; and that the Committee was to revise and review the location of
the gymnasium on the site. In the process of doing that, the Committee did decide
that now that the McCalla property is available, the gymnasium should be relocated
per the attached drawing. The Task Force reached consensus that this site plan is
the one it supports.
Regarding the issue of installing interim landscaping on the gymnasium site, it
was the general consensus of the Committee that this would not be cost-effective.
Since grading, potential storm drains, and irrigation for any landscaping are
required, the cost would be prohibitive. The Committee felt that it would be
better to put in a parking lot and some perimeter landscaping as the first phase,
and then come in wi th a gymnasium later.

Prior to any construction of either a parking lot or a gymnasium, 'the following
work should be completed:
1. Develop a rough grading plan, topographical survey and aerial map. This must
be done to show how adequate drainage can be achieved and the cost estimate is
approximately $10,000.
2: City Engineering staff projects that the Proper drainage could be achieved in
one of two ways. Precise'grading and fill (raising the site) is the ieast
expensive; however, by elevating this site it could create drainage problems
and "dump water" on the intermediate school or the existing ball fields. The
second alternative is to install extensive storm drains. Current drainage
flows in a southeasterly direction, so arrangements would have 'to be made to
connect the system through the School District property.
Although Engineering staff members are hesitant to give a cost estimate without a
proper study, the $100,000 range is probably fairly accurate. Ron Paige of
Recreation Systems estimates that cost for construction of parking lot expansion
and perimeter landscaping in Phase 2a will be $411,000 and construction of
gymnasium in Phase 2b will be $1.1 million.
