Community Services Commission
~ Shawn~<~ D. Nelson, Director of Community Services
March 14, 1994
SUBJECT: Sam Hicks Monument Park Master Plan
PREPARED BY: Phyllis L. Ruse, Senior Management Analyst
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Community Services Commission:
1. Approve the Master Plan for Sam Hicks Monument Park.
2. Adopt Negative Declaration for the project.
BACKGROUND: On November 9, 1993, the City Council awarded a design contract for
the preparation of a Master Plan for improvements at Sam Hicks Monument Park. On that
same date, the Council approved an amendment to the land lease between the City and the
Old Town Temecula Historical Museum Foundation, providing for a footprint for the
Foundation to construct a permanent museum facility and renovate St. Catherine's Church
on the park site. It was recommended that the Foundation and the City master plan the entire
site as a joint effort.
A project committee was established with representatives from the City Council, Community
Services Commission, the Museum Foundation, the Old Town Architectural Review
Committee, the Old Town Redevelopment Committee, the senior citizens, City and Museum
design consultants, and City staff. The project committee's first task was to identify the
various potential user groups for the park and possible park activities determined by these
groups. The Museum's needs were also considered. The committee then explored the
opportunities and constraints presented by the site.
The Museum Foundation and the City's consultant, The Alhambra Group, worked together to
exhibit various conceptual designs that best matched the committee's goals. Each participant
contributed valuable comments and suggestions and worked together in an atmosphere of
partnership. At the conclusion of the third committee meeting, all members unanimously
supported the proposed Master Plan before this Commission tonight.
The Master Plan designates an ultimate footprint of 22,900 square feet for the Museum. The
Foundation proposes building the facility in phases. Phase one will consist of a 6,100 square
foot museum, a 1,800 square foot plaza area, a 1,000 square foot outdoor interpretive center,
and the renovation of the existing church. The City's portion of the plan will include
r:\c\agendas\$amhtcks ,pin 030894
upgrading the tot lot to ADA standards, construction of a gazebo/bandstand facility,
installation of a formal rose garden, courtyard, circulation paths, picnic facilities,
improvements to the monument, a restroom/snackbar, security lighting, landscaping and
irrigation. Improvements made in the footprint for future development by the Museum
Foundation have been designed to be aesthetically pleasing and functional as well as easily
removable and cost effective when the time comes to replace them.
FISCAL IMPACT: This project was budgeted in the City's Capital Improvement
Program for FY 1993/94. Design costs have been transferred from the Development Impact
Fees, to be reimbursed with Redevelopment Funds subject to City Council approval following
the required public hearing.

FINAL FEE CREDITS FOR PALOMA DEL SOL PARK
PREPARED BY: f~, Beryl Yasinosky, Management Assistant
RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission:
Approve a final fee credit of 91,025,349 for Kemper Community Development
Company for the construction and dedication of Paloma Del Sol Park.
BACKGROUND: On January 25, 1994, the City of Temecula officially
accepted the dedication of Paloma Del Sol Park, a 9.50 sports complex, from Kernper
Community Development Company. The park is located in the Paloma Del Sol
Development, at the southeast corner De Portola Road and Campanula Way. The
amenities of the park include two (2) baseball fields With soccer overlays, ball field
lighting, bleachers, a 1200 square foot rest room/snack bar facility, picnic tables,
benches, signage, drinking fountains, refuse receptacles, walkways and on-site
parking.
Pursuant to City Council approval on December 8, 1992 of the Amendment and
Restatement of the Development Agreement for the Paloma Del Sol Specific Plan,
Kemper Community Development Company will receive a maximum credit of
92,000,000 against City Public Facilities Fees, payable for building permits, in
exchange for developing Paloma Del Sol Park and a future 7.44 acre park site.
Subsequently, the Community Services Commission and the Board of Directors
approved a preliminary fee credit of 91,368,000 towards Public Facilities Fees based
upon the preliminary construction cost estimate for Paloma Del Sol Park.
Upon dedication of the park to the City, the Developer submitted a "fee credit
analysis" to staff for review that indicated a final construction cost for Paloma Del Sol
Park of 81,050,735. Since this amount was considerably lower than originally
approved by the Board of Directors for fee credits, the Dew.~loper requested that the
City consider approving an initial fee credit of 8500,000 so 'they could move forward
with obtaining building permits within their project. On February 8, 1994, the City
Council approved the initial fee credit of 8500,000 as a portion of the final fee credit
to be approved, pending staff review and verification of all construction costs
associated with the development of the park.
The review and verification of construction costs for Paloma Del Sol Park has been
completed. The contracts, invoices, payment vouchers, and retention payments have
been submitted by the developer and reconciled to the "Paloma Del Sol Credit
Analysis", a copy of which is attached for your review.
Staff is recommending that Kernper Community Development Company receive an
additional 8525,349 credit against Public Facilities Fees. Coupled with the initial fee
credit of $500,000 approve by City Council on February 8, 1994, Kemper Community
Development Company shall receive a total credit of 81,.025,349 towards Public
Facilities Fees for the development of Paloma Del Sol Park.
FISCAL IMPACT: Upon approval by the Community Services Commission and the
City Council, Kemper Community Development shall receive a total fee credit of
81,025,349 against Public Facilities Fees payable for building permits, for the
development of Paloma Del Sol Park. A staff report is scheduled to be forwarded to
City Council on April 12, 1994 for final approval of the fee credits.
Pursuant to Section 12.10 for the amended Development Agreement, Public Facilities
Fees, in the amount of 83,000 for each building permit pulled, shall be paid through
the final fee credit amount. This credit shall be retro-actiw.- to any building permits
pulled after Council action on February 8, 1994. Staff anticipates that the first 333
building permits obtained after this date will be entitled to receive the credit.

ADJOURN
Reminder: Recent amendments to the Ralph M. Brown Act make a clear the Brown Act
does not apply to conferences simply because a majority of the city council or other
covered body attends. However, those amendments also say a majority of the body may
not discuss specific substantive issues at such conferences. Any such discussion is
subject to the Brown Act and must occur in a meeting which complies with its require-
menIs.
