On December 6, the City Council will consider revising plans for fencing and foliage along the ocean-facing side of Ladera Linda Community Park. The Council will consider the following recommendations:
- Lower the existing fence and trim the plantings along the entire ocean-facing side of the park to a height of 42 inches from the finished grade, and fill in any gaps in vegetation along the fence with new similar plants;
- Plant a vine or hedge that will grow up to 42 inches in height along the park facing side of the existing ocean-facing fence for screening purposes;
- Plant a barrier of coastal sage scrub and/or other native plants within the entire landscape setback zone between the top of slope and walking paths, except where the walking path approaches the stairway;
- Install a context-sensitive railing, to be selected by Staff, at a height ranging between 36- and 42- inches adjacent to the walking paths along the entire ocean-facing side of the park; and
- Eliminate the Council-approved 6-foot chain link fence along the slope of the ocean-facing side of the park and retain the existing vegetation on the slope.
The hybrid in-person/virtual meeting will take place at 7 p.m. in McTaggart Hall at Hesse Park and via Zoom. Watch live on the City website or on RPVtv Cox 33/Frontier FiOS 38.
