OCTOBER 9. 1995 Chairman Henry MiLler SecretaFy ITEM NO. 2 CITY OF TEMECULA AGENDA REPORT TO: Community Services Commission FROM: Shawn D. Nelson, Director of Community Services DATE: November 13, 1995 SUBJECT: Restroom Facility, Margarita Community Park PREPARED BY: ~.-~Herman D. Parker, Deputy Director of Community Services RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission: Approve an interior design for the restroom facility at Margarita Community Park. BACKGROUND: The Margarita Community Park Design Committee met on three occasions to discuss various park design features and amen/ties for this park site. At one of the committee meetings, the interior design of the restroom facility was discussed at great length. It was recommended by the committee that in addition to the standard male and female restroom facilities, we also consider providing a separate and private parent/child unisex restroom to accommodate the parent who desires to assist his/her young child when using the facilities. As staff began to review and consider the design of this restroom amenity, several issues began to arise which included: the safety and security of patrons using a unisex restroom that locks from the inside; the privacy or lack of privacy for patrons using a unisex restroom that does not lock from the inside; and also the public's perception of a unisex restroom in an open public park setting. Our project consultant, V/rice DiDonato of the Alhambra Group, will present two restroom facility concepts. After reviewing and discussing the two concepts, the Commission may approve one concept to be implemented in the master plan of Margarita Community Park. ITEM NO. 3 CITY OF TEMECULA AGENDA REPORT FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Community Services Commission Shawn D.

Parker, Deputy Director of Community Services RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission: Approve naming the newly acquired park site the David F. Dixon Memorial Park. BACKGROUND: As of July 31, 1995,the City of Temecula acquired the property referred to as the Duck Pond from Kemper Real Estate Development Company (KRDC). The newly acquired 7.5 acre park site is located on the southeast corner of Rancho California Road and Ynez Rd., providing the City a highly visible, centrally located park site. This park site will greatly assist the Community Services Department*in meeting the passive recreation needs of the community. At the October 17, 1995 meeting of the Board of Directors, staff presented the CommissioNs recommendation to officially name the park site "The Duck Pond". However, in light of the recent untimely passing of the City's first City Manager, David F. Dixon, it was the desire of the Board of Directors to recognize Mr. Dixon's contributions to our community by officially naming this park site in his honor. The Board of Directors recognize the important role the Commission plays in naming city parks sites, and requests the support of the Community Services Commission, by approving the official name of this park site to be the David F. Dixon Memorial Park. The Commission may recommend to the Board to officially name the park site the David F. Dixon Memorial Park or select another name desired.
