The Commissioners have indicated a preference and made a motion to model <br />the Groveland building after the Hillview building. Given this, the estimated cost <br />for preparing a site plan, construction plans, and specifications could be reduced <br />if the consultant that was hired for the Hillview Project is also selected for the <br />Groveland Park Shelter Building Replacement Project. <br /> <br />There are several small revisions from the Hillview design that are recommended <br />by the Commissioners. These include creating a serving area and adding a sink. <br />This will accommodate gatherings and socials held at the park. In addition, to <br />diversify the use of the building, a small revision was suggested to add a small <br />storage for tables and chairs. <br /> <br />Long- Range Park Shelter Plan <br />On February 26, 2004, the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the three <br />remaining temporary structures; Groveland, Random, and Lambert. The <br />recommended long-range plan for these buildings is as follows: <br /> <br />Groveland Building – Replace with a nearly similar building as Hillview in 2005. <br />With the rapid deterioration of the Groveland building, Staff recommends that the <br />City replace the Groveland building with a shelter building similar to the one at <br />Hillview. With some small changes in the existing plans we can incorporate a <br />food preparation area and lockable storage in the new building. Staff feels that <br />there would be a very high demand for a shelter at Groveland that would enable <br />patrons to prepare and serve food. Another benefit would include heat and air <br />conditioning to accommodate park patrons. This park has a ball fields, tennis <br />courts, a basketball hoop, a large playground that accommodates a variety of <br />age groups, a picnic area, and a volleyball court. <br /> <br />Random Building – This was originally in the City’s Capital Improvement Program <br />and scheduled to be replaced with a nearly similar building as Hillview in 2007. <br />However, the Park and Recreation Commissioner’s have made a motion to <br />continue to get the full use of this building and move it’s replacement beyond the <br />scope of the cities Capital Improvement Program. At a future date it could be <br />reconsidered replacement, however at this time it is not included in the city’s <br />long-range plan. <br /> <br />The Random building is in decent shape and could last for years with some <br />upkeep. Staff feels that the park is not really suitable for a Hillview-type building <br />because of its relatively small size. Also, the playground is only suitable for very <br />young children. Any of the activities for which the building is being used could <br />also be done at the M.V.C.C. <br /> <br />Lambert Building – As with the Random Building, this too is not included in the <br />city’s long-range plan. However, at a future date, it could be reconsidered <br />replacement. If it were to be replaced, the Commissioners current <br />recommendation would be to replace it with a block building and sized smaller <br />than the Hillview Building. This building could do without the pavilion type front, <br />but would include indoor restrooms.
