Parks and Environmental Commission Regular Meeting Minutes <br />June 2, 2025 <br />Page 6 <br />1 Commission review. The proposed layout includes the following amenities that do not <br />2 currently exist: <br />3 Dedicated parking outside of the existing Well House No. 5 driveway (still allowing <br />4 access to Public Works). <br />5 Concrete sidewalks to connect the existing sidewalk along Silver Lane to the <br />6 pickleball court entrance. <br />7 Permanent pickleball net system (existing system is a portable/temporary system). <br />8 Benches and bike racks to enhance the experience of the pickleball users. <br />9 An alternate bid item to upgrade the proposed fencing to a “heavy-duty” fence has also <br />10 been provided to provide noise-canceling benefits to the site (this option would need to <br />11 be included with the construction of the courts, as the layout of the fencing would be <br />12 impacted). <br />13 Alternate bid items for consideration that could be added after the pickleball courts are <br />14 constructed: landscaping to provide screening and enhance the natural features within <br />15 the property, lighting, and a portable restroom with enclosure. <br />16 <br />17 To meet ADA requirements for the installation of the new courts, the concrete sidewalk <br />18 connecting from Silver Lane to the entrance to the courts is required. All pickleball courts <br />19 must be designed so that users do not cross over another court in order to reach their court. <br />20 <br />21 Ms. Saulog provided the estimate of probable construction cost to construct the space. The <br />22 estimate is a high-level master plan estimate (incorporating 2025 construction costs) and does <br />23 not account for actual site conditions, final design (including aesthetic finish decisions), and <br />24 plan preparation/bidding. The total base bid schedule is $305,857.50, and the total alternate <br />25 bid schedule is $98,900. <br />26 <br />27 Ms. Morello stated this would update the number of courts from 2 to 4 different pickleball <br />28 courts. <br />29 <br />30 Commissioner Peterson asked about the preservation of the mature trees and asked which <br />31 ones may need to be removed. Ms. Saulog indicated on the map the trees that would need to <br />32 be removed from the access walk to the courts. Commissioner Peterson suggested two fences <br />33 to reduce sidewalk construction costs, with the sidewalk going to the middle of the courts. Ms. <br />34 Morello stated that there would be a conversation with WSB. <br />35 <br />36 Student Liaison Cram asked how many parking spaces are on the site currently. Ms. Saulog <br />37 stated there are currently none. Sometimes people park on Silver Lane. WSB’s <br />38 recommendation was for 16 parking spots, which was not possible to do. <br />39 <br />40 Chair Fee referred to the layout and spacing between the courts. She would like to see the <br />41 minimum space required between courts. She asked about benches and bike racks in the <br />42 drawing and asked where they would be. Ms. Saulog stated they are not currently on the <br />43 drawing, but they would like to have them included. Chair Fee asked if WSB gave a <br />44 prediction of the life expectancy of the courts. Ms. Morello stated this would be a robust effort <br />45 to resurface and could be provided in the future. <br />46
