(100%).
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this project is to replace existing structures in Montalvin Park. The park is
an 8.6 acre central feature of the Tara Hills and Montalvin Manor communities and
provides multiple recreation activities (basketball, tennis, pedestrian/bike pathway, and
picnic areas). Many of the park features are aging and have reached the point where
replacement is needed. The work will include the replacement of 7 existing picnic tables
with metal picnic tables with concrete pads, replacement of weathered benches with metal
benches, improvement of the existing parking area with patching, resurfacing, striping, and
installation of new American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) approved curb ramps and an
additional basketball sports court. In addition, old concrete trash receptacles will be replaced
with metal trash receptacles. Approximately 30 weathered bollards (approx. 4 feet tall) that
line the park entrance facing Denise Drive will be replaced. Planting, irrigation, hardscape
and pedestrian pathways will also be enhanced throughout the park and the existing
irrigation controller will be upgraded with a master flow valve to meet current County
standards. The children’s memorial will be relocated inside the native plant garden to allow
for better park access.
In order to minimize damage to any nearby trees, any roots exposed during excavation will
be cut cleanly and tree branches will be trimmed. No tree removal will be necessary. Real
property transactions may be necessary in support of this project. At least one lane of traffic
along Denise Drive will be open at all times during construction activities.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project will result in delay of design and construction and may
jeopardize funding.
