RecreationandParkCommission | 2005-06-09 | 5 | Commissioner Oliver asked if the park entrance will be on Jack London Avenue. AD Lillard stated yes and that is where the parking lot is located. PM McDonald stated that we will be sharing the parking lot with the school. Chair Ingram asked if the school has their own playground. Ms. Folsom stated the school has their own play area. Chair Ingram stated that a skinned infield would be great. AD Lillard stated that will be taken to the Sports Advisory Group. AD Lillard stated that the community building will be 1,720 sq. ft. of program space. There is program space, storage, kitchen and one more restroom. This building was specifically designed to fit in with the school. The building will be the Alameda Recreation and Park Department's and according to the joint use agreement, as time and space is available, the School District may also use the building. The Recreation and Park Department is currently looking at providing before and after school care and a Tiny Tot program. During the summer the Department will also run sports camps out of the building. Chair Ingram asked if it will be a prefab building. AD Lillard stated no. Commissioner Oliver asked if one restroom is enough for a building that will hold 85 people. AD Lillard stated that would be adequate. It is a unisex bathroom with two stalls. AD Lillard stated that it is anticipated the project will be completed by September 2006. C. Consideration of Proposed Additional Telecommunications Facility at Krusi Park - (Discussion/Action Item) AD Lillard stated that Cingular is proposing to replace the tennis lights on the other side of the courts with the same type of lights and telecommunications antennaes that are currently there on the other side. The equipment building proposed is in the back toward the fence near the maintenance shed and is larger than the one that is currently there. PM McDonald stated that the equipment building being proposed is close to 400 sq. ft., but are not supposed to go more than 200 sq. ft. Chair Ingram stated that he felt it was time to start setting a policy with regard to installing cell towers in parks. Several other cities have policies in place and some have resolutions for each telecommunications company. Something needs to be done or the Commission will be discussing this issue a lot until Alameda has enough cell towers. Chair Ingram stated that he is not prepared to make a decision tonight since the paper work was just received tonight. 5 Recreation & Park Commission Mtg.
