As you know, Lampman and Associates is presently being re- tained to prepare a General Plan for the City of Carlsbad, and part of this preparation is an Open Space-Conservation Plan. The Park and Recreation Element that is being suggested as an addition to the General Plan program takes into consid- eration the data collected in the Open Space-Conservation inventories and incorporates and expands upon this data to produce the Park and Recreation Element. The typical components of a Park and Recreation Element are as follows: 1. Determination and projection of goals for park and recreation facilities and programs. 2. Explanation of recognized open space and park planning standards and a determination of realistic standards for the City of Carlsbad. 3. Methods of preserving open space and solving related deficiencies. 4. Analysis of the needs and recommendations for special use facilities such as trails, swimming pools, multi-use sports fields, motorbike parks, golf courses, tennis centers, etc. CHRIS D.

Analysis of the needs and recommendations for facilities to serve special interest or need groups such as senior citizens, teenagers, handicapped, etc. 6. Analysis of all existing recreation areas relative to expansion, improvements, abandonment, etc. 7. Development of and analysis of service zones within the study area to be served. Such analysis would concern itself with population trends, traffic circulation, economic status, etc. 8. Analysis of the leisure time interests and needs of the inhabitants within the study area. 9. Analysis of the opportunities for access linkages which could tie the City's recreation open space together as well as linking it to regional facilities of interest. 10. Recommendations and cost estimates for acquiring addi- tional recreation sites not presently under City owner- ship. 11. Determination of the role of each site as it would relate to the total park and recreation system. 12. Estimates of potential development cost for each recom- mended site. 13. Review of existing facilities maintenance and operational policies and costs. 14. Projections for long-range maintenance and operational costs for each existing and proposed site. 15. Estimate the scope and cost for implementing a community recreation program which will be compatible with the recommended recreation facilities. 16. Outline specific methods for implementing the recom- mendations. As you can see in the program outlined, a considerable amount of material that will be collected for the General Plan pro- gram can be used as resource material for the Park and Recrea- tion Element. Therefore, this Element could be included for the fee of $4,000 if it is in conjunction with the General Plan. Page 3 Mr. Jack Arnold March 8, 1973 The fee for a study as outlined, if conducted independently, would be approximately $10,000 for a City like Carlsbad. If Lampman and Associates is retained to do this Park and Recreation Element, the same Associates as listed in the General Plan Agreement would be assigned as the team to develop this Element. The time schedule for the preparation of the Park and Recrea- tion Element would correspond to the time schedule set for the Open Space-Conservation Plan of the General Plan, with the exception that we would need to add an additional thirty day time period beyond the Open Space-Conservation schedule to enable us to properly prepare the Park and Recreation Element as outlined. In addition, it would be expected that City staff would be available for interviews and would provide us with all existing policies, standards of maintenance, etc. that would be necessary in our program analysis. The fee payment could be structured so that it would be due and payable when the Open Space-Conservation Plan and the Park and Recreation Element are completed and filed with the City of Carlsbad. If I can be of any assistance to you or if you have any ques- tions regarding this proposal, please contact me at your conveni ence. ncerely, John F. Cyprien Associ ate JFC:jh
