CityCouncil | 2019-10-01 | 12 | Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft questioned whether some revenue will be recognized. The Recreation and Parks Director stated the funds will go back into the project the same as the sale of the other submerged lands. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired what happens if a property owner does not want to purchase the submerged or additional land around their property. The Recreation and Parks Director responded there is high incentive for homeowners to purchase the submerged land due to the dock proximity and needed maintenance; stated where there is no desire to purchase the land, a City fence around the area would be recommended. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated the City may install security cameras through the Crime Prevention Environmental Design; inquired the reason for not incorporating the option. The Recreation and Parks Director responded the option can and should be done; stated there are times of sensitivity; the cameras would be on a 24 to 48 hour loop and specifically target the pathway, not the neighborhood. *** Following the recess, Councilmember Vella returned at 9:12 p.m. *** Councilmember Daysog stated there is a 10 foot wide path that goes to 35 feet wide; inquired the need for the addition of 12.5 feet on either side of the 10 foot wide path. The Recreation and Parks Director responded the theory is to not feel as though the area is a tunnel; stated landscaping on either side would be more pleasant and open, allowing for a better experience. Councilmember Vella inquired the amount of natural surveillance and design factored into the staff recommendations; stated the staff report considered access creation, visibility and natural surveillance including the design for bi-directional visibility. The Recreation and Parks Director responded Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) guidelines ensure the landscape has a visible corridor of 3 feet above shrubs and 3 feet below trees; there is less visibility on Fernside Boulevard than on Eastshore Drive; the goal is to put in surveillance cameras and lighting in those areas to assist with security in the pathways. Councilmember Vella expressed concern for what to do when a crime is in progress versus after-the-fact investigation; inquired whether there is a plan for investigating and ensuring enforcement occurs in real-time.
