Amarotico; Director Robertson CALL TO ORDER Gardiner called the study session to order at 7:00 p.m. at the ParKs Office, 340 S. PioneE~r Street. UNFINISHED BUSINESS N. MAIN I SCENIC PARK MASTER PLAN DISCUSSION Gies reviewed the proposed labor and irrigation detail sheet prepared by staff. He invite.od Donn T odt. horticulturisUarborist. to speak to the commission. Todt gave a presentation on the viability of using native grasses in a parK setting. He n~ferenced the grasses seeded at the Riverwalk subdivision on North Mountain Avenue in December of 2004, indicating that they usually require less water than non-native grasses but entail more initial maintenance. Eggers reviewed the master planning process to date. outlining a number of possible project constraints, including city ordinances and city and parKs policies. Eric Setterberg, Irrigation Supervisor, discussed the volume and cost of water that would be required to irrigate the lawn as outlined in the master plan design. He projected the cost for 29 cubic feet of water to be $1.500 per year [based on current water prices]. Public Input Rick Landt, 468 Helman Street, a water conservationist and former landscape designer, presented an alternative park design. He outlined his rationale for creating the plan, stating that h~ parK site is important to him for a number of reasons, and he expressed that his plan might serve as a long-term solution for reducing maintenance costs at the site. Discussion Amon~ Commissioners Commissioners expressed opinions about the original plan as well as the alternative park site design. Several commissioners agreed that the Lango plan was designed based on input from staff, commissioners, and neighbors, and that it served as a reflection of those thoughts and interests. Several commissioners expressed interest in various aspects of the Landt plan; however, some concern was expressed about the size of the lawn in the plan, which was estimated to bE! half the size of the lawn in the Lango plan. A few commissioners stated that neighbors in the areas surrounding the parK live in apartments and condominiums without lawns, and the larger lawn would suit their needs more appropriately. Another commissioner reflected that the public was given four separate opportunities to provide ideas and feedback on the project and the Lango plan was an accurate compilation of that input. Gardiner thanked staff and citizens for their contributions and the commission agreed to table the discussion until a future study session.

RECREATION PROGRAM REFUND POLICY T eige read aloud the draft refund policy prepared by staff, stating that recreation program refund policies are common in Oregon. She requested approval of the policy prior to the printing of the next recreation guide, or by mid-November. Staff was directed to place the topic on the agenda for the regular commission meeting in September. L1THIA PARK CONCESSIONS REPORT T eige reported on revenues and expenses related to the Lithia ParK Concessions operation from November 2004 through the present, stating that staffing was the most costly portion of the budget.

PIONEER STREET ASHLAND, OREGON 97520 COMMISSIONERS: Diane Amarotico JoAnne Eggers Michael Gardiner Jim Lewis Rich Rosenthal Don Robertson Director TEL.: (541 ) 488-5340 FAX: (541) 488-5314 MEMORANDUM TO Ashland Parks and Recreation Commission Don RObertso~irector FROM DATE October 14,2005 SUBJECT Meadowbrook II Presentation Action Requested Approval of Meadowbrook II park plan. Backe:round Meadowbrook II is a subdivision development located north of Bear Creek and adjacent to Nevada Street. As a condition of their plat approval, they are required to donate approximately two acres of property for park use. Rather than donating raw land, they are proposing to donate a developed park way that will link with other properties along the Bear Creek riparian area. This property is adjacent to property already owned by the city and dedicated as open space. Home of Famous Lithia Park - T CIT'Y OF ASHLAND Memo DATE: October 17,2005 TO: Ashland Parks Commission FROM: Robbin Pearce, Water Conservation Analyst RE: Comments on the Meadowbrook Master Plan: · I recommend replacing the turf in the medians with drought tolerant and/or native plant species. · I recommend eliminating turf grass along the walkway/path to wetland on the streetside of the wildgrass area and along the backside of the wetland. · I recommend street trees on the turfgrass side of the street be alternated with lampposts to create "shaded light." I also recommend tree species be alternated or diversified for seasonal effect. The trees along the wildgrass areas should be determined by the Parks staff after "getting to know" the limitations of the wildgrass area. Redbuds mayor may not be appropriate. Trees should be selected from the Recommended Street Tree List. · Believe it or not, wildgrass is not as easy to grow as it sounds. It really isn't a "sow and go" scenario. In order to "maintain" a wildgrass areas versus a we:edpatch, control measures will be necessary and a permanent watering system should be installed to take care of our seasonal variations. Remember the Parks Department has access to a computerized system which controls Parks irrigation based on the weather (ET based) and can minimize watering for resource efficiency and plant health. I recommend this park be included in that computerized system.

Pioneer Street Ashland, Oregon 97520 Proposal Hand Delivered Re: Per the Park Commission meeting scheduled for 7:00 o'clock pm Monday October 24,2005, for approval of Meadowbrook Park Development's proposed new Bear Creek Park design. Dear Don, Mark Kamrath, Tom Madera and Jason Patterson enjoyed the work session. I am sorry that I wasn't able to attend. And thank you for your advice. The suggestions (page entitled "Comments") that you provided in connection with the work session have been incorporated into the new park design, accordingly. Please reference the revised park design included with this proposal. Our proposal therefore, is as follows: 1. The park amenities to be constructed according to the plans hereby being submitted and (hopefully) approved by the commission next Monday evening; that work begin on the project immediately thereafter, and completed as soon thereafter as possible. We would like to begin park construction at once. 2. That the park be developed so that the power and water is separately metered from our project, so when the city takes over the maintenance of the park, costs will not be an issue or difficult to separate. (Appropriate easements will be recorded at time of Final Plat.) 3. That during the course of construction and thereafter for the ongoing 36 months, the developer pay for the park maintenance - being shown as an additional insured on the city's liability insurance policy - or protected from liability in some other appropriate manner" 4. That even though the park amenities may still be under construction by the dl~veloper, as set forth in the North Mountain Outline Plan the portion of project land that makes up the easterly portion of the park will be deeded over to the city upon Final Plat Approval (while the c~ct,ion ~i~ill continue until the job is fully completed, all in accordance herewith). Cy~~ ~J-(.'--- Don Grove, Camelot Family Homes LLC, Project Manager for North Mountain Land Company's Meadowbrook Park Development at North Mountain Note: As a convenience, I have attached a copy of the comments page that you provid,~d at the study session. Thank you again. DG Project Design Headquarters: 7Z4 South cen~ Avenue, Suite 103, MedCord, Oregon 97501 -,--~ COpy Comments on Ashland Bear Creek Park Landscape Plan Wetland Vicinity 1. Pacific Wax Myrtle. Our experience has been that these grow rapidly fi)r about 3 to 5 years and then die. Not well-adapted to interior hot summer southwest Oregon. I don't know how high the Pump Station is. Would Tall Oregon Grape work for screen? Since it's in a lawn area, how about Thuja occidentalis 'Emerald Green' if Oregon Grape is too loose. Many other possibilities. 2. Oregon Ash. We prefer not to use them since they are structurally problematic and eventually very heavy reseeders, ultimately suppressing other more wildlife- friendly plants and creating a large, dense, mono-cultural thicket. Although they are slow-growing, we like to use California Black Oak and Oregon Whit(~ Oak. w~ere the soils aren't too soggy. Or Big-leaf Maple. 3. Russian Olive. This is a fine wildlife tree and has its place in environmentally severe areas. I really like it where it casts a small bit of shade around the freeway rest stops through the Great Salt Lake Desert/Salt Flats. How about nativle Crabapple? Or native Black Hawthorn? 4. Incense Cedar. OK 5. Ponderosa Pine. OK, but add one more. 6. Select street trees from Ashland's recommended tree list for along Greenway Drive. Placement between light-posts. We would prefer species or varieties that are known not to reseed into the surrounding area. Example F. americana 'Autumn Applause' or pick 2 spp. so that pattern can eventually be continued s. parallel to Greenway Drive. 7. How about, having the walking path slightly more curvilinear as it extends through the grass toward the wetland. 8. Rough grass area. The H&H mix looks OK, but it might be better to use local spp. and seed stocks available from the Forest Service. We would like the sprinkler system to be permanent rather than temporary so we can bring grasses out of dormancy early rather than wait for the sometimes very late autumn rains. Unmanaged native grasses soon become a weed patch. We would like a few patches of Three-leaf Sumac (Rhus tnIobata) within the rough grass area and possibly a few native trees. These might be watered by a subsurface drip line. 9. Lawn area. The Park Commission should decide on ultimate size. I think a 40' strip would be adequate. And use native grasses in vicinity of wetland. 10. Redbuds. Eliminate long line of redbuds since we are required to have street trees adjacent to the street. -_._-------.--- - T NOTES: 6'ONSI~SUT~~~~ 1l~~~~tsN~~CT-;;~~~~~i~ T~~~ ~~L~M~~S~~RIE~H~uJ.NTgs~~~rEc~N~~g~DlsN~~S~~iT I~g~s~~ ;.~N~~~~M~~: ~~NDITIONS~ PREPARING ANY BIDS OR SUBMIT1lNG ANY PROPOSALS TO "THE OWNER.

The land swap would involve similar sized property featuring Ashland Creek and its riparian zone along with some upland in exchange for upland land.
