ITEM #1 (1401-11)
PRESENTATION
POWAY-MIDLAND RAILROAD VOLUNTEERS
IMPROVEMENTS TO OLD POWAY PARK
Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. This property was purchased in December 1986,
and began the Master Plan process in 1987. The Master Plan led to what is now the
upgrades to the Hamburger Factory, Heritage Museum, the addition of the train barn, the
blacksmith shop, the relocation/rehabilitation of the Porter House, relocation/rehabilitation
of Temple¢s Hall, the addition of the Nelson Home, and the only major building remaining
to be constructed is the Train Depot. Within the budget this year, it will be recommended
that funds be allocated for the completion of Old Poway Park. The proposed items to be
completed this year include the depot, train barn extension, turntable, buildings for
handcars, and other ways to maximize the use of the park for outdoor presentations.
Chuck Cross, representing the Poway-Midland Railroad Volunteers, gave a presentation
regarding the design and layout of the proposed depot, train barn expansion, and the
relocation of the water tank. The proposed projects will consolidate the various spaces
presently being used into an attractive, functional station complex.
The Council expressed no objections to the proposal.
ITEM #2 (1601-01 )
STATUS REPORT
CITY OFFICE BUILDING
Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. The project originally proposed to City Council is
for a 55,000 square foot office building with an adjoining 5,000 square foot City Council
Chambers. On the site studies, it should be noted that some of the fire department
facilities would be removed from this site. Those being the training tower and splash wall.
Training will be done in conjunction with other facilities and the splash wall may be
relocated to the park adjoining the proposed Fire Station Three.
Ken Baldwin and Phil Pape of McGraw/Baldwin Architects gave an overview of the existing
conditions on the site, along with the proposed layout of the new building, landscaping,
parking and Council Chambers. The phasing of the project will depend on the ability to
maintain City operations in the current buildings while constructing the new office building.
The second and third phase will consist of demolishing the old buildings followed by the
construction of the Chambers.
