We look forward to working with you and the stakeholders to create a plan that will provide a 'pocket park' venue for the City of Moscow and the Rolling Hills neighborhood. We have organized this proposal into four phases; Understanding of the Project, Scope of Services, Anticipating Schedules, and Professional Fees. Understanding of the Project The City of Moscow desires to create a Concept Master Plan for Itani Park. The City's Parks Master Plan indicates that this location and size of property would fall under the designation of a Pocket Park. Currently, the City has six pocket parks totaling 9.51 acres, with two future undeveloped pocket park sites that total 2.88 acres. Characteristics of a Pocket Park are; a park that is between .25 and 3 acres in size servicing an area of two to four blocks or 1/8 mile area. Pocket parks are intended for the immediate persons within this area and, as such, serve a relatively small number of users. The .84 acre Itani Park site is situated in the east central area of the City, within the neighborhood known as Rolling Hills. The site will be accessed via Itani Drive. The property is mostly a flat terrain, with good northeastern views. There are some existing shrubs on the eastern side of the site. No trees exist on the site. During 2014, the University of Idaho's Landscape Architecture program worked with the City Parks and Recreation Department to generate multiple concept plans tor the future Indian Hills Park as part of a Junior Class project. Although the student plans proposed many alternative uses and layouts as noted below, we would look to the City Parks Department to confirm park components and programing. However, these past studies will be available to us as a resource in the development of their Concept Master Plan. These components will also be considered for Itani Park. Preliminary elements to be considered for Itani Park will be: • Pathways and walks accessing various park elements. • Evaluate Picnic, or Gazebo structure. • Walkway lighting. 153 South Jefferson Street Spokane, WA 99201 [PHONE REDACTED] I phone [PHONE REDACTED] I tax WWW.BERNARDOWILLS.COM ---PAGE BREAK--- • BERNARDO WILLS ARCHITECTS PC • Furniture - benches, trash receptacles, bike racks, drinking fountain, etc. • Children's play structure. • Possible water feature. • Possible public art displays. • Park entry signage. • Gathering space/amphitheater. • Open green space • Street and Park tree and shrub plantings.
