AYES: Supervisors Powers , McPeak , Torlakson , Fanden

SUBJECT: Proposed Clyde Park Tennis Court
County Service Area M-16
On August 6 , 1985 , the Board continued to this day decision
on the recommendation of the Public Works Director that would
authorize him to take the necessary actions to begin construction of
a tennis court in a park located at Norman Avenue and Trafalgar Place ,
Clyde area , which is located within County Service Area M-16.
Supervisor McPeak advised the Board of meetings she has
had with members of the community, county staff , and representatives
of landowners of property adjacent to the tennis court site and a
developer who has an application before the County Planning
Commission for a General Plan Amendment that would enable him to
develop property surrounding the site of the proposed tennis court .
She commented on the status of the funds allocated for the project
and inquired of the feasibility of requesting an extention from the
State if the funds for the tennis court are not expended by June 30,
1986 .
Don Freitas , former County Service Area Coordinator , advised
that the Board could write to the State requesting an extension and
stating the reasons for the request . He also advised that if the
project is changed or modified from the original application, new
plans would have to be submitted to the State for approval , which
would take approximately three months . Once the bid is awarded , the
project could be completed in approximately 60-90 days with weather
conditions being favorable .
Dee Kilroy, President , Citizens Advisory Committee for
County Service Area M-16 , urged the Board to authorize construction
of the tennis court in accordance with the original plans submitted .
She advised that an alternate site has been proposed for the tennis
court by Carlo Zocchi , a developer , but did not believe it to be
suitable to accommodate the tennis court .
Maurice Huguett , attorney for Bay Point Land Investment
Company, advised that Carlo Zocchi has an option on the property
adjacent to the site of the proposed tennis court for a subdivision
and is proposing a modification to the alignment of the tennis court
which he believes would be beneficial to his proposed development as
well as the community . The tennis court would still be situated in
the same quadrant as originally proposed . A schematic of the proposed
modification is to be presented to the community .
Supervisor McPeak expressed concern that the delay in
construction of the tennis court could jeopardize the funding and
inquired if the developer would post a security bond or enter into a
contractual arrangement to assume responsibility of funding the tennis
court project if the committed funds are withdrawn .
Mr . Zocchi advised that he would work with County Counsel
in this matter .
