Margie Monroy, 749 Magnolia Avenue, #B, said she is excited about having a park in her
neighborhood. She read correspondence from Thelma Hayes (not on file in the City Clerk’s
Office) requesting that the Community Center be changed to a two-story building in order to
provide a quiet activity room.

asked that a handball court be placed in this park.

that the proposed parking lot is too large and that diagonal parking should be placed on the
street. Ms. Barker said this would create room for an amphitheater. She expressed concern
that a skate park in this park would be too small. She expressed concern that the garden will be
expensive to maintain. She recommended that the seat around the tot lot not be made of
concrete because skateboarders would destroy them. Ms. Barker expressed concern that the
skateboarders would also destroy raised planter boxes. She said that two ball fields are needed
in this park.
James Whittaker, 4742 lnverness Court, spoke in support of multi-use fields. He asked that the

if the Police Department’s input has been provided regarding the large amount of glass in the
building design.
Brian Donald, 2410 Stromberg Circle, expressed concern that the proposed park design
displaces the high school baseball team and that baseball fields are needed in this park. He

park be replaced with lawn bowling.

park. He also said that outdoor basketball courts with coin-operated lights are needed in this
park.

at Holiday Park. Mr. Souza asked Council to send the proposed park plan back to staff for
further evaluation.
Randall Benson, 3554 Ames Place, said there is too much parking proposed for this park. He
said that the parking lot should be replaced with baseball fields.
Frank Sorino, 3528 Madison, distributed the open play schedule for Calavera Hills Community
Center and said not enough time is allowed for free play. He said the Northwest Quadrant
should be a more active community park. Mr. Sorino asked that the proposed basketball courts
be replaced with handball courts. Mr. Sorino said that the Centro de lnfomacion is needed in
this park. He suggested that below ground parking be placed under the Community Center.
December 17,2002 Carlsbad City Council Meeting Page 10
Scott Pieratt, 7201 Manzanita Street, explained that there is inadequate space in this park to
create baseball fields for high school use. He suggested that the school districts partner with
the leagues for baseball field use.
Council Member Hall expressed concern for potential conflict between skate boarders and
seniors in the Northwest Quadrant Community Park. In response to Council Member Hall, Mr.
Steyaert said that skate boarding would be allowed only in the designated skate park. Skating
in all other areas of the Northwest Quadrant Community Park would be prohibited. Council
Member Hall said he was concerned that Police Officers on patrol would not be able to see

explained that diagonal parking on Chestnut Avenue was not recommended due to safety
concerns.

to be located in the Northwest Quadrant Community Park.

the Northwest Quadrant Community Park has been reduced by 25 percent.

spoke of the importance of a parking lot so that park users do not park on neighborhood streets.
Mayor Lewis expressed concern for the location of a skate park in the Northwest Quadrant
Community Park. Mayor Lewis spoke of the need for handball courts instead of a skate park at
this location.
In response to Council, Mr. Steyaert explained that the design for this park would return to
Council after the final drawings had been completed. He explained that at this meeting, staff is
seeking Council direction regarding the elements that Council would like to have in this park.
Mayor Pro Tem Finnila said the skate park element should be deleted from the Northwest
Quadrant Community Park Master Plan. She suggested that perhaps Holiday Park might be a
more appropriate location for a skate park. Mayor Pro Tem Finnila said that the raised planter
boxes should be eliminated. She also said that this park is not the right location for high school
baseball fields. Mayor Pro Tem Finnila spoke of the importance of a community center.
Council Member Kulchin said she did not support a skateboard park in the Northwest Quadrant
Community Park. She said that the Senior Center and Community Center should be separate
entities and not be physically connected. Council Member Kulchin said she would like to see
more playground equipment installed than has been proposed. She spoke in support of
children becoming involved in the creation of the park through appropriate activities. Council
Members Kulchin spoke of the importance of programs and activities being held in the
Community Center. She said that she did not support installing lights in this park.
Council Member Hall expressed concern that the design for this park is being rushed through
tonight. He said that Holiday Park has a stage area and a stage in this new park is not
necessary. Council Member Hall said that Holiday Park should be considered with this new
December 17,2002 Carlsbad City Council Meeting Page 11
park. He said that a skateboard park use is not appropriate in the new Northwest Quadrant
Community Park. Council Member Hall said he could support handball or basketball courts in
this park. Council Member Hall said he would like to see the tot lot expanded.
In response to Council, Ron Ball, City Attorney, explained that the recommendation is to
approve, in concept, the design of the Northwest Quadrant Community Park and direct staff to
proceed with project entitlements. He explained that if staffs recommendation is approved
tonight, the Master Plan would not return to Council. Mr. Ball explained that if Council desires
to review the Master Plan prior to the entitlements, such direction should be made clear tonight
at this meeting. He noted that one of the entitlements is a Conditional Use Permit.
Ray Patchett, City Manager, suggested that Council complete their comments tonight and then
determine the next step.
Council Member Packard said he would like to see the proposed community garden fronting
Madison Avenue removed from the Master Plan. He spoke of the need for an expanded tot lot.
Council Member Hall said the glass on the Community Center building should not be at ground
level. He said that the skate park should be eliminated and replaced with handball and
basketball courts.
Council Member Kulchin said the skate park should be eliminated, a larger tot lot is needed,
and, the garden area and glass on the Community Center should be reviewed.
Mayor Pro Tem Finnila said that the Centro de lnformacion should not be located in the
Northwest Quadrant Community Park. She noted that prior to the creation of the Northwest
Quadrant Community Park Master Plan, Council had previously decided that the Centro de
lnformacion should be placed at another location.
Mr. Patch& suggested that Council refer the Northwest Quadrant Community Park Master Plan
back to staff so that Council’s points can be addressed and alternatives identified. Council
concurred.
In response to Mr. Patchett, Council concurred that the skate park element should be removed
from the Northwest Quadrant Community Park Master Plan.
In response to Mr. Patchett, Mayor Lewis said that discussions regarding Holiday Park should
be a separate issue.
Mr. Patchett asked for direction regarding the connection between the Senior Center and the
Community Center. Mr. Steyaert explained that a trellis landscape feature is proposed to
connect the two buildings. Mayor Pro Tem Finnila said that she liked the trellis idea. Mr.
Patchett said that staff would return with more information regarding the trellis concept.
Council concurred to refer this item back to staff for further evaluation.
