POWAY LIBRARY SITES
Staff report by City Manager The last given by the City
Council re arding the library was to have a 20,000 square foot library on the
rear of th Western Lumber site, install a box channel on the creek, and sell
the front wo acres as a ' 1 site. Staff is now recommending a 20,000
square foo library, with no plans for be built on the Poway Road
fronta e a ong with 10,000 square feet of office space that could be leased,
that t e creek be enclosed in a box channel and that the southeast two acres
e sol The Library Advisory Committee recommends the library be on Poway
oad; ~at it be 20,000 square feet with no immediate plans for
hat i ,000 square feet of office space be built, that the creek be converted
o a natural channel, and that the southeast 2 acres be sold. The Poway Road
pecific Plan Advisory Committee recommends that the library be built on Poway
oad.
Creating a nat ral hannel for the creek requires 1.12 acres but would save
$300,000 to $4 0,00 initially over building a box channel. However, if
Tarascan is ex ende a bridge would have to be built across the channel at a
cost of approx mate y one million dollars.

original direction.

Committee, stated their Committee had only talked about where the library
should be on the site and did not discuss other uses.

that the creek be kept natural and that the library be the only use on the
site.
Alison Farrin, 15134 Oak Canyon Road, Library Advisory C suggested if
there is a secondary use on the site it should be compatible with the library
and be revenue producing.
