One Acre Park Area at Auto Center * City Manager

Lt Statement of the Matter A Memorandum of Agreement between the City of
Carlsbad and the Tri-City Auto Dealers Association, dated November 21,
1972 reads in paragraph 9a as follows:
Landscaphg of Park and Landscape Easement Area "At some time in'the future, the City will landscape the one acre
park area in keeping with the overall landscape architectural plan of the Center. The timing-of such improvements is within the discretion of the City.''
The Tri-City Auto Dealers Association has contacted the City and indicated that they would like to go ahead with the project. Mr. John Mamaux has also contacted the City Manager requesting information as to ' when this project will get underway.
A meeting was held on this subject matter attended by Ed Johnson, Don Agatep, Frank Lilley, representing the City, and the Tri-City Auto Dealers Association President, Jim Finney. Accompanying Mr. Finney
was Mr. Wrisley, a landscape expert, who has done much of the landscaping at the Auto Center. It is their preference to use Mr. Wrisley in the
design of the park. It was concluded at the end of the meeting that
Mr. Wrisley would sketch out a schematic drawing of the landscaping of the proposed park and forward it to Ed Johnson for his study. There are
several points which I: wish to make; one being that monies are not budgeted
for such a project and two, there has been no determination as to whether
the land will be deeded to the City for park purposes or whether it will
be leased to the City. Also, it is pointed out that in the matter of the
park, the auto dealers propose a large sign advertising the Auto Center. It is the further feeling of the staff that before proceeding any further
Council that the City is on record as agreeing to participate in the development of this one acre park in accordance with the Memoranaum of Agreement and direction should be given to the staff by the Council if it
is the Council's desire that work continue.on planning of the park. Mr. Finney indicated that the landscape expert, Mr. Wrisley, would make a preliminary drawing of the park site for approximately $200.00 and believed
that this cost should be paid by the City. This money-is not budgeted but if the City Council looks with favor on appropriating $200.00 this
could be accomplished by approving a "Request for Transfer of Appropriation&
The park is not intended as an activity park but as a green belt section
of the Auto Center where people could sit on bsndnes or walk through. It
could also become a central pick up spot for transit.customers. location of this one acre park site is north of the present Ford agency and just east of the freeway.
. on this matter that it should be .brought to the attention of the City
The,
AB No. Date: November 7, 1973
City Manager's Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council direct the staff to proceed on the planning of this park and that $200.00 be appropriated to.cover the cost of preliminary landscape and irrigation plans.
