Structures. Staff is anticipating the renovation will commence in the summer of 2019 and the estimated

6. OLD BUSINESS
a. Commissioners Role
Director Glomstad gave ideas on ways to increase Commissions interaction and engagement with the
community and invited the Commissioners to discuss what they would like to do additionally to achieve
this goal.
Commissioner Milne inquired what the Commissioners could do in their role of providing the forum for
community input to the Department in a productive manner. Glomstad responded that the stronger,
more engaged and in touch with the members of each "community" a Commissioner is the more impact
and helpful the process will be. She gave an example of a former commissioner who would reach out
with phone calls and meetings of those involved or affected by an issue that came to the attention of the
commission the Department to find out what was going on. She noted one way to be more involved
would be for Commissioners to attend the meetings of groups that use City facilities or groups that work
with the Department. She also encouraged Commissioners to attend Department events to show a
presence and allow for the community to speak to them as a neighbor.
Discussion of ideas included a google calendar of events for Commissioners to sign up to attend will be
further developed by staff. Additional discussion included Commissioners accompanying a staff
member to various group meetings to be introduced to key players in the groups to assist with
relationship development. The Commissioners will report on their outreach at the March meeting and
thereafter as part of Commissioner Reports.
b. Commissioners Assignments
Milne explained the list of assignments and inquired if any Commissioners were interested in changing

BURLINGAME STAFF REPORT
To: Parks and Recreation Commission
Date: February 21, 2019
From: Margaret Glomstad, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Information about Lorton Park
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Commission receive information about Lorton Park.
BACKGROUND
The recently approved "Village at Burlingame" project includes constructing a new 132-unit
affordable workforce and senior apartment development on the site of Parking Lot F, and
relocating the existing parking stalls to an approved public parking garage on Parking Lot N,
located in downtown Burlingame just south of Howard Avenue.
Based on input received from the Planning Commission, City Council and the Parks and
Recreation Department staff, the project approval included construction of a passive park on a
portion of the lot, which consists of a 45' x 150' area at the rear of the site off Lorton
Avenue. This portion of the site is currently paved and used for public parking. Conceptual
ideas for elements to be included in the park consist of a variety of trees (evergreen and
deciduous), soft scape improvements, meandering paths, seating/gathering areas, and
lighting. Low maintenance, drought tolerant plantings with an irrigation system to City
specifications would also be provided. The park would have a gateway entrance on Lorton
Avenue and new fencing would be provided adjacent to the existing apartment buildings on
either side of the park for adjacent neighbor privacy.
The developer is responsible for preparing the plans, obtaining the necessary permits and
constructing the passive park before it is turned over to the City. The ongoing maintenance of
the park will be provided by the City of Burlingame after the maintenance period is concluded.
DISCUSSION
A preliminary schematic plan will be available for review and comment at the Commission
meeting on February 21, 2019 and will be posted as part of the meeting minutes.
