Discussion: Discussion ensued regarding the feasibility and/or liability of creating two or three SkateArt features along the north/south connection/pathway between Oxford Road and US Highway 17-92; clarification as to what the SkateArt features would entail (each element would be approximately 45 feet, including ingress, the skate component and egress); art element aspect of the SkateArt; measures that would be taken to alleviate interference with bicycle and pedestrian traffic; and the advantages of providing recreational activities for local youth. Mr. Newlon suggested approving the existing plan to accommodate the developer of Bainbridge and then direct staff to research the issue and bring back a recommendation to the Commission, at which time the plan could be modified to include the SkateArt elements, if found to be feasible. He added that he would ask staff to fast track it in order to get it back to the Commission in two weeks, and if the recommendation is that it is feasible, see whether Bainbridge can include it in their plans; if not, then since the trails belong to the City, the plan for the trails could be modified after the fact and a plan developed to install those SkateArt elements. Also included in the discussion was the depth of the concrete for the sidewalk and skate elements, inclusion of the Art House on the artistic aspect of the skate component; redesign of the sidewalk to accommodate the skate elements; cost; ingress/egress; safety issues; irrigation and landscaping. The Commission agreed to direct the City Manager to have staff research the feasibility of adding a skate element to the trail and bring a recommendation back in two weeks for Commission consideration. MOTION: Vice Mayor Aramendia moved to approve Resolution 17-2943 and related Budget Amendment #17-022, as presented. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Solomon. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 5-0.
