Bi.ll Baldwin Patrick Tessier REPLY ON THIS SHEET FROM David Bradstreet WILMER ' "SERVICE" U,NE STANDARD INTER DEPT. MEMO FORM 11-24-PD MEMORANDUM TO FROM DATE SUBJECT David Bradstreet, Parks and Recreation Director Doug Duncanson, Parks Superintendent jtyd June 5, 1981 ^7 Rancho Carrillo E.I.R. The Parks and Recreation Department has the following comments regarding the Rancho Carrillo E.I.R.: 1. Staff as well as the Park and Recreation Commission does not agree with proposed master plan amendment which moves the park site' to the west of the existing Carrillo Ranch site. 2. The proposed circulation system, in particular the first road southwest of the Carrillo Way Melrose intersection, should be altered. The issue of moving the original park site by amending the general plan has been addressed previously. The Park and Recrea- tion Commission at their March 16', 1981 meeting voted unanimously to keep the park in the original site. The reasons for this decision were the high cost of development, potential erosion problems and.its linear layout. Therefore, let me again state -that the Park and Recreation Department explicitly requests the park site remain at its original site northeast of the current Ranch site. The proposed street (traveling in a southerly direction), southwest of the Melrose and Carrillo Way intersection, should be altered or deleted. This street, if approved, would bisect the park land. This bisecting street would cause possible unsafe conditions. I feel with a park located at the current General Plan area (site K) that the proposed street could end (coming up from the south) in a cul-de-sac, which stopped at the park site. Another possible solution would be to eliminate this section of the street and have it begin at the intersection just stfuth of the existing Carrillo Ranch. Hopefully, a solution to the circulation problem can be reached. Attached-are previous memorandums addressing the above subjects. DJDrkap Attachements (2) cc: Bill Baldwin. ' ~ TO FROM DATE • SUBJECT MEM OR A N D U M Patrick Tessier, Associate Planner David Bradstreet, Parks and Recreation Director] February 18, 1981 Rancho Carrillo Master Plan . ... The Parks and Recreation Department has had a chance to review the Rancho Carrillo Master Plan and offers the following comments: s . ' On Page 35 of the Community Open Space Area Map, the Planning Center indicates that there is a 8.2 acre park site northwest of the 10.5 acre existing Carrillo Ranch. To my knowledge, this proposed site has not officially been approved by staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission. The original -plans indicate that the approximately seven to eight acre park site was to be located northeast of the Carrillo Ranch site. / Staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission feel that there is a serious drainage problem along the proposed Planning Center .park site. There is also a feeling of unsafe conditions as the play fields are laid out adjacent to Carrillo Way. It is my suggestion since this revision of land use has not been resolved, that the Planning Department and the Planning Center may wish to make another presentation ±o the Parks and Recreation . Commission on March 16th at 6:30 p.m. At that time, assurances should be made regarding the drainage issue and the flip-flopping - of the proposed 8.2 acre park site. . Another question that will.need answering is why is there a street between the proposed residential area and the Carrillo Ranch site. One 'last comment; it is my understanding that the City Council feels that the Carrillo Ranch site may have an 'equestrian center. Where are plans for'equestrian trails throughout the Rancho Carrillo Master Plan? - ~r ... ) If you have any questions, please contact me or Doug Duncanson at your convenience. . • DLBrkap . . . .

Bradstreet, Parks and Recreation Director PROM : Doug Duncanson, Parks Superintendent '^ffl' DATE : March 5, JL980 SUBJECT: Park Area of Rancho Carrillo Master Plan The Parks and Recreation Department does not agree with the placement of the community recreation site as proposed in the latest Community Facilities Plan for the Rancho Carrillo area. The department would prefer that the park site be located at the original site of the South Eastern corner of the Melrose Street and Carrillo Way intersection. This area is desirable because of its accessability. This site is also preferred because it contains more usable land for development of active play areas. Thirdly, this portion of land is adjacent to the Leo Carrillo Ranch, which would combine both areas and provide a centralized maintenance area. The above reasons make the original site preferable the Parks and Recreation Department. 'The. current proposed park area is not acceptable because of several reasons. The first being the problem with the exist- ing creek in the area. Extensive grading would be necessary .to make the entire area usable. Secondly, recent storms have eroded much of this area. Another reason this area is undesirable is because of suggested limited use due to archeological value. Therefore, the Parks and Recreation Department requests this new park area not be ac- cepted. The Parks -and Recreation Department wishes to extend an invi- tation to the Planning Commission to visit the Leo Carrillo Ranch site. Arrangements would gladly be made by the department for a tour of the existing facilities.1 * DJD:kap
