Six proposals have been received according to City Council direction for the
development of a golf facility in Huntington Central Park.
RECO?Q4EHDATION
Approve the concept of an eighteen hole golf course in the undeveloped portion
of Huntington Central Park and direct staff to negotiate with American Golf
Corporation for the design, construction and operation of the golf course.
ANALYSIS
On _April 39 19899 City Council directed staff to send out Request for
Proposals (RFP) fora golf facility in Huntington Central Park. The intent of
the RFP was to determine if there was interest in the private sector for some
type 'of golf facility in the park. The due date for completed proposals was
July 140 1989. The six applicants . .are Americmi Golf- Corporation '
(Lead.Person: Lynn Shackelford); Art ,'Schilling and Landmark Land Com.pany, of
California (Lead Person: Art Schilling); General Golf (Lead. Person:
Christopher Jones); Anderson and Dickey Golf Course 'i4anagement (Lead Persons:
Jerry Anderson and. Perry Dickey, Jr.); Central Park Golf Associates
(Lead Person: Prentice Taylor) ; and CCA Silband Sports Corporation
(Lead Person: James Husband).
The City Council Ads Hoc Committee has reviewed the 'sin proposal s submitted! and
chosen:-the, top finalist, which is American Golf Corporation. . The ether five
proposals are being,•held in. abeyance until negotiations are completed ,and 'a
final•'decision i s made.by City Council. The-.committee feels that:negotlation
must -now commence", ..in order to movie to a;.mores complete, concrete , proposal
including finaliz!6g variabl6s ,such as, size of. course, facilities;_ to : be
included-. and' the, details of the development/operation agreement. Issues such
as. - equestrian trails, methane gas and the Driftwood Mobile Home Park
relocation will also be addressed as part of this negotiation process: ` The
American' Golf proposal and park site appear to best support an 18 hole
executive golf course with driving range/practice area, A pro shop, and fnod
and beverage area.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCII~TION eO)SEPTEMdER 5, 1989
HUNTINGTON CENTRAL PARK L.,LF COURSE PAGE TWO
The following is a st=ary of the open spaca/recreation areas in Huntington
Beach:
1. 28D acres in Huntington Central Park, not including the land for the
proposed golf course;
2. 113 acres in the proposed regional linear park;
3. 9 miles of open public beach;
d. 57 public parks covering 300 acres;
S. 1,150 acres of proposed wetlands/open space.
Relative to other urban comminities in the Los Angeles/Orange Counties area,
it is doubtful that there are many who can match these statistics.
The City Council Ad Hoc Committee feels that a golf course is a viable
recreation facility for Huntington Central Park. It will attractively develop
an area that is currently an eyesore without incurring maintenance costs for
the city. It will also serve a large segment of the community's golfers who
have only minimal public golf facilities available at this time. The site
will also produce substantial revenue for the city. The minimum guarantee is
$200,000 per year for the first five years; it escalates to $500,000 per year
after twenty ,years. The city would also receive a percentage of the gross
receipts.
FUNDING SOURCE
NIA
ALTEI`NATIY£ ACTIONS
1. Direct staff to reduce the golf concept from an executive golf course to a
driaing range/practice center on twenty acres.
2. Do not develop a golf course in Huntington Central Park.
3. Direct staff to build and administer a city-operated golf course.

Outline specifications for Central Park Golf Coarse are presented below. The outline
' specifications cover the materials to be used and addressed:
-Greens and toeing ground construction
' -fairway construction
-Sand bunker construction
-Irrigation system installation
-Water supply system. construction
-Seeding and planting installation
-Cart path construction
• -Driving range construction
-Driving range lighting installation
-Parking lot construction
terB rtiole F, ccut[ve C&If Course: The proposed minimum par 61 full length golf
course to be designed by Williams& Gill will provide all ability levels of players a chal-
lenging and enjoyable round of golf. The course will have modest sized undulating
greens and large expansive tees. Sand and turf bunkers will guard green..and direct
t fairways shots. Water will be an integral element in the layout of the links and a large
lake is proposed for irrigation purposes. The course will be professionally managed
during the maturation phase to provide outstanding turf quality when the course opens.
Greens and Tecing Ground roallru.Q1jolliGreens to be constructed on the proposed
golf facility will be of the contemporary,built-up style utilizing the Modified California
Greens Construction Method. This method uses 12 to 14 inches of special top-mix con-
sisting of approximately 80 percent sand and 20 percent peat uniformly spread over the
prepared subgrade contour. To promote deep root development, drainage the will be
-� installed beneath each green. The surface contouring of the greens will be designed to
shed excess water in at least two directions. Greens will average-approximately 5,500
square feet in size and will be designs so tbau a minimum of 85 percent of the green
area is satisfactory as posEible pin set locations.
Teeing grounds will be constructed in a manner similar to the greens using four inches
of top-mix or a minimum of six inches of quality topsoil. The grounds will be slightly
elevated and sloped to surface drain and wilt average approximately 6,000 square feet
in size. The teeing grounds will be designed to accommodate three sets of markers.
Mirf bunkers or other earthen mounds within the fairway will be graded in such manner
that mowing operations will not require specialized equipment or excessive mar.-hours
of labor. Slopes will be maintained at a maximum of 3 to 1 (horizontal to vertical)on
exterior banks and 2.5 to 1 on interior banks.
Fairway areas will receive n minimum of 4 inches of on-site topsoil over the prepared
subgrade contours.

Saylif Bunker .ons(tu tion: Sand bunker will be constructed to conform with USGA
rulas regulating bunker play. Bunkers will be of the raised contemporary type con-
structed such that surrounding surface water will not drain through the bunker. All
sand bunkers will have a sub-surface drainage system consisting of d inch perforated
tubing. Exterior and interior bunker slopes will be the same as those specified for the
turf bunkers or earthen mounds.
jrrientig!] iftsigm Instalintlon: The proposed irrigation system will consist of a fully
automatic, centrally controlled,hydraulic or electric control system utilizing major
• manufacturer components designed and sold for golf course use.7be system will fea-
ture individual head control on the:greens and tees and individual or dual head control
in the fairways. Greens and tees will be centrally controlled separate from fairway or
• tough areas. The system will be designed to operate using subsurface ground water and
will utilize contamination resistant valves anti sprinkler heads as necessary. The electri-
cal components of the system,valves, field controllers and central controller,will be
surge protected from lightning strikes.
The pro shop,hutting green and maintenance building areas and other non-golf areas
such as entrance drives and parking lots will be irrigated using Institutional and com-
mercial grade components. This system will be controlled separately from the golf
course system.
LftkL&Mly SvI Uri,Qonstruglion: Water for the:system will be supplied from the fol-
lowing:
-Existing city water.
Supply water will be transferred to the irrigation pond where it will be pumped into the
irrigation system using a pre-engineered/package pump station of approximately 1000
gpm capacity. Puntp station will be fully automatic in operation. Backflow prevention
devices will be Installed to protect all potable water connections as required.
&eedingand Planting Ins nlltttton:Prior to the last cuitivatioa all seed beds will be
amended with appropriate materials or chemicals to achieve the correct snit balance for
optimum turf growth of the type specified. Amendments may include applications of
sulfur,gypsum,lime,iron chelate or other types of soil acidifiers or alkalizing com-
pounds to create a soil ph range of 5.5 to 7.5.
Immediately prior to seeding the contractor will apply the specified ratio of starter fer-
tilizer at the rate indicated on the drawings. Greens will be seeded in two directions
with Pencross Creeping Bentgrass at the rate of approximately(1) pound per 1000
square feet. Tees, fairways And rough areas will be seeded with turf type perennial
ryegrass at the rate of 350 pounds per acre and then overseeded with common ber-
mudagrass at the rate of approximately 30 pounds per acre.

01ir objective is to ultimately create a clubhouse facility that exceeds the expectations
of our customers and our landlord. We expect to service our golfing and dining cus-
tomers with great service in a comfortable and appropriately appointed environment.
Attention will be given to every customer service detail and to functional operation.
The clubhouse will encompass the restguraut/bar, snack bar, pro shop,and starter areas.
The clubhouse will be appropriately positioned to service the first,and loth. tees while
taking advantage of a good view. AW believe the building would be a "GROUP A OC-
-� CUFANCY"3 type building,TYPE 5 non-rated construction.
i The building will be handicap accessible. The exterior facade, roof, and landscape of
the structure will be designed to be consistent with the architectural pallet of the over-
all project and:subject to the City of Huntington Beach's approval.
,,- Floor space within the structure will be allocated approximately as follows:
-Pro shop retail sales,bags,shins,clubs,etc... 1500 sq. ft.
-Starter area and behind the counter sales.........95 sq. ft.
-Snack bar and self service food area..............680 sq, ft.
�. -Restroums.........................I...............250 sq.ft.
-Manager's office.........6*0$$....................100 sq.it.
-Dressing room..................................... 16 sq ft.
-Restaurant area................................... 2264 sq.ft.
Prnctice The practice center clubhouse will be approximately 1,690
square feet in size. The building will be handicap acc-sssible. The exterior of the struc-
ture will be covered with T-111 grooved siding. 'ne mansard style roof will be con-
strutted of color coordinated ribbed metal,
Floor space within the structure will be allocated approximately as follows:
-Pro shop retail sales, bags,shirts, clubs ctc...,560 sq.ft.
-Starter area and behind the counter sales.........95 sq.ft.
-Snack bar and self service food area..............580 sq.ft.
-Rest rooms........................................7.50 sq. ft.
-Ball washing/storage.............................. 95 sq.ft.
- -Managers office................................... 60 sq. It.
-Dressing room..................................... 16 sq.ft.
Complementing the building will be an exterior hard surfaced landscaped patio area
which will connect the pro shop/snack bar with the practice and teaching range tee line
and the golf putting course.
� 11
� a
The golf putting courst will provide a fun and enjoyable general recreation experience.
The course will occupy an area of approximately 16,000 square feet.
lop The design of the putting course will be challenging with contoured and rolling fair-
way/green areas and natural hazards such as rocks,water, sand and landscaped areas.
The golf putting course will be night liblited to extend the hours of operation for the
residents of the area. 17he golf putting course will be secured and landscaped as re-
quired.
Golf Malaton . Wdine and Area: The golf maintenance area will be located away
from the clubhouse with dedicated access. The maintenance building will be ap-
proximately 3,600 square:feet In size and will contain the golf superintendents office,
11
chemical storage room,equipment service/storage area, employee lunch room and rest room facilities. The maintenance building and general service area will be fenced,
screened, landscaped and security lighted. It's road access has not been determined.
ji 77he maintenance area will service both the golf course and the golf practice center.
The maintenance yard is designed in the most economical and efficient way to handle
all storage and traffic problems. The two 16 foot sliding chain link gates,allows the
r sand and gravel trucks to enter the yard, back into the storage bins, and exit without
much trouble. The fencing around the compound may also be totally chain link fenc-
ing, 10 feet in height. Depending on the size:, the square footage may be modified
changing the length,and width, to achieve the same square foot objective. ':he gas
tanks, (both diesel and regular),will be located near .ar.opening to allow easy access for
maintenance equipment and to have a concrete apror,surrounding the pumping area.
There will be a designated wash area close to the building and carport structure so the
equipment may be cleaned and then stored close by. 77he wash area must incorporate
r the use of a sand trap and also a floor drain with a leaf catch. The yard area may be as-
phalt or crushed decomposed granite,depending on the size of lot.
On the attached plan, the dotted line represents where the yard should end for an 18
hole complex. The extra area passed the line would be used only for a 36 or 54 hole
complex. This would be required to house the extra equipment necessary to maintain
the course.
Earhing:A 75 car asphalt parking area will be built adjacent to the practice center tee
line and a 160 car asphalt paring area will be built adjacent to the golf course club-
house. The parking areas will he landscaped to compliment the practice center and
golf clubhouse. Handicapped spaces will be provided as required.
The parking lots will be constructed using cast in place integral 3,000 psi concrete curb
and gutter at all parking lot edges and landscape medians with either a 3 inch built-up
bituminous surfacing over a 5 inch crushed stone base or 4 inch full depth asphaltic con
crcte pavement over prepared sub-grade. (The final determination will be made upon
completion of the area design,)The parking lot will be graded to achieve positive sur-
face drainage at a minimum slope of 0.5%. Access to all buildings will be barrier free
�� through the construc!;on of ramps or other portages.

Cart Starace_Bni1dinmt American golf proposes plan for the"drive-thru"cart storage
building that will accommodate up to 25 carts.
The "drive thru" plan is the most operationally functional plan allowing the cars to drive
through to case cart rotation. By driving through it is also less damaging to both the
cart and the cart storage building itself.
Each cart storage building will be equipped with double Z'X 12's with the bottom at
!2"above the finished floor attached the length and width of the interior of the build-
ing. This prevents damage to the wall studs and the exterior finish when the carts hit
the wall. 'The doors will be the metal roll-up type for ease of operction and easy main-
tenance. The floor will be sloped from front-to-back (in the drive-in)and with a high
point in the center,slope the drive-through from side-to-side. 'this is to allow drainage
�j for cleaning purposes.
r, GQlr Practice and Tsarhing Csnter.American Golf proposed to build a stand alone
practice center comprised of a practice tee-line, practice chipping area, and a putting
course.The driving range element of the teaching center will consist cf a 65,00,0 square
.! foot turf teeing ground area and a 14 foot by 300 foot all weather ice line. 'the turf tee
will be constructed in a manner identical to the golf course teeing grounds. The turf
tee area will be fully irrig-ited and seeded with common bcrmudagrass and then over
seeded on a continual basis with annual rye. The a'.l weather tee will be constructed of
2,500 psi, stiff broom finished color impregnated concrete to blend wish surrounding
building and landscape colnrs. The out field of the range will be planted in common
bermudagrass and is intended to be fully irrigated.
The range will be fully enclosed with driving range netting and fence of approximated
35 feet in height. The net and fencing will be color coordinated to augment other color
schemes in the project.The range will be comprised of a two-tier tee line,one at park-
ing lot-clubhouse grade, and the second at approximately 14 feet below tee-level one.
Each proposed range level will provide f^:-30 to 40 golf stations offering the patron a
choice between an all weather quality artificial mat surface or professionally groom and
maintained natural turf surface. The tee line will orientate in the most advantageous
- direction with respect to winter and summer sun angles arid wind patterns of the area.
We propose to have the range night lighted using ai combination of subgrade lighting
and above grade light standards to accomplish a uniform lighting without pollution to
adjoining property.
•M
The practice range will be lighted with metal halide tamps mounted on 35 foot poles.
At the practice ice the standards will be located approximately fifty foot on center
across the width of the tee. Each pole would typically support four 1,000 watt
luminaries.
Average maintained light levels will be about 20 foot candles horizontal on the tees and i
10 foot candles vertical at 200 yards.
L!
•
fief PMdlCC. nntlYsnebino Cgnter,The range will be landscaped and architecturally
featured to create target greens with bunkers and target fairways. Because the range
area wit*, be depressed to accommodate water drainage,golfers will have an excellent
' view of target areas and the flight of the ball. The tee line is oriented In the most ad-
vantageous direction with respect to winter and summer sun angles and wind patters of
1
the area.
As a part of the practice and teaching center,a practice chipping area and practice
sl bur;kers will be developed to provide golfers a location to improve their skills in this
area of play. The chipping/bunker area will be night lightest and will be comprised of a
minimum of 3 independent greens,and rough areas as shown on the plans.

frtigation Management
From the start, all.of the parties
Involved realized that th`e"concept of a
wa11•to•wall,j green golf, course was
simply'but,of the'q m uestion.,The an•.
datory restrictions required a different
approoch, one that would likely run
counter to the'corrimi roily accepted per-
ception o(what a golf course should be.
The basic framework"of thir=.new
approach was.first crafted by.Garrett
• Gill,.:a golf Course and ,landscape
architect and engineer who had worked
with American Golf onn-a number'other
projects.Sorrowing a page out of the
` desert course's',"targat golf"philosophy,
Gill's irrigation management summary
subdivided Applewood's acreage Into
five distinct turf areas, in descending
order of maintenance requirements:
• Greens and teeing ground areas(5
acres),
•.::Landing areas and approaches(22
acres),
• Other fairway areas (35 acres).
• Rough;areas:160 acres).
Out-of-play aeas (25'acres) ..
For eacli:area, Gill.recommended
grass strains:and`trrtgatton levels to
reduce:the"amount of water needed
and'to esablish a more healthy turf that
