MEETING REPORT
Jim Gabriel of Architects HGW, reviewed the desired room sizes and capacity
that were provided by the City and the proposed building floor plan
adjustments based on a tour of Carmel Valley Recreation Center with City staff.
A larger storage area was achieved by utilizing mainly exterior circulation.
Glen presented the site context and highlighted site parameters, joint-use
opportunities and circulation, and view corridor through the Village Center.
Glen and Jim presented park alternatives and architectural alternatives 1, 2 and
3. See attached PDF for a copy of proposed design alternatives.
Public Comment
Manjeet opened the floor for public comment. All comments from the
community were recorded on a large flip chart and are attached to this report.
Summary
The Committee indicated a preference for Concepts 2 and 3 which have a strong connection to the existing Village Center promenade. They also supported the mix of activities in Concept 2 but preferred the smaller parking area as well as the backstop location area in Concept 3, noting that a second backstop should be incorporated. The Committee indicated that they preferred the architectural style and roof lines created by Architectural Concept 1 but for it to be located per Concept 2. They provided feedback regarding the angles of the roof on the northern façade of Alternative 1. Based on the community and the Committee’s feedback, the design team is now tasked with developing a preferred park plan based on a combination of elements from Concept 2 and Concept 3. Next Meetings
December 8, 2015, 6:30pm at Pacific Trails Middle School
January 14, 2015, 6:30pm at Pacific Trails Middle School
