The City Manager introduced Mr. Tony Anthony of the architectural
firm of Anthony and Langford who have been retained to design the
Arcadia Senior Citizen Center to be located at the former County
Park Rose Garden site. Staff has reviewed the plans with
Mr. Anthony and are requesting direction from Council.
Mr. Anthony presented the preliminary plans to Council and proceeded
to point out and explain in detail the purpose and function of the
various areas of the proposed buildings, parking areas, driveway
entrances and exits, and food service.
There was some concern expressed by Council in connection with the
entrance on Campus Drive and exit on Huntington ... would this be
used as a short-cut? It was noted that all traffic would have to
pass under the porte cochere and the driveway will not appear to be
a roadway. Also a different paving will be used in that area. The
area is designed to accommodate large busses.. a convenient turn
around is required. A "No Through Traffic" sign can be enforced
and speed bumps Can be installed. The traffic pattern was thoroughly
discussed with explanations by the architect.
With reference to the office area on the site, the City Manager
explained that the entire Recreation and Senior Citizen staff would
be housed there.
In response to a question from the Mayor, Mr. Anthony replied that
the preliminary cost estimate for site preparation and construction
is at three (3) million. With the 10% contingency, fees, survey,
tests and inspections the final figure will be about 3.5 million...
this does not include furnishings.
Further discussion ensued with additional questions from Council;
ideas and suggestions were expressed and noted by the architect.
ADJOURNMENT
The Special Meeting adjourned at 7:07 p.m. to the Adjourned Regular
Meeting of November 1, 1988 of the City Council and the Arcadia
Redevelopment Agency.
