Confirmed there is no agreement with PCC yet.
Hope to have an agreement completed by end of spring.  (Under the Conditional Use Permit, building & grading permits can't be issued until they have a signed agreement.)
There were lots of questions about exactly where the access route will be.  Mr. Abegunrin admitted his diagram did not show enough detail.  But he does not want to provide such a detailed document yet since there is not yet an agreement with PCC. 
There are no current plan for vehicular access from Avocado Ave. or from Viña Vieja Park.
Mr. Abegunrin added to the confusion by saying that people were confused because of the portion of the planned access route described as being on "Alameda Street".   Not the improved Alameda Street we know, which ends at Avocado Ave,  but a portion also described in the city database as "Alameda Street" which is an easement across the Edison land at the north end of PCC's parking lot.

There was a long series of questions and unclear answers regarding whether or not there will be a pedestrian path and what route it will take and whether there will be pedestrian access to the ice rink facility from our area and/or to/from the park.
Mr. Abegunrin correctly stated that the current path location is temporary, but the Conditional Use Permit for the ice rink requires that there be path to the park throughout construction of the rinks.  Where exactly the path will run depends on the results of negotiations with Edison.  After they have agreement with Edison, they'll let us know what they are going to do.
Initially in response to the pedestrian path from our area question he indicated that people could walk on the sidewalk of the ice rink facility over into the park.
The response on pedestrian access between the park and operating rink facility was confusing.  At one point he said there would be a path between the park and ice rink with bollards to prevent vehicle access (except emergency vehicles) but allow pedestrians.  But a couple other times he said something about they could not stop people from going around the fencing on the west (wash) side.   At another point he said he expected there would be a gate which would be locked when the park is closed (as now) - not clear where.  Perhaps he was talking about going around fencing to the west in reference to after hours when a gate is locked.

Hoping to get Caltrans to put directional sign on freeway.
Hoping to arrange with PCC for inclusion on its marquee sign.
Signs on building would not be visible off-site, so do not expect there is reason for them to be lighted.

Reason for change in spectator seating is to save on construction costs.  Previously the seats were to be above the locker rooms and offices.  Now, the main interior of the building does not extend the full depth of the locker rooms and offices.  This allows the roof trusses to be shorter and thus less expensive.  Think he also said it reduced the cost (required depth?) of the building footings.

Questions were raised by a couple of ice rink familiar attendees about how well the revised spectator arrangement would work.  Reduced spectator visibility.  Answer was that of course it wasn't the best, but expected revenues could not support previous plan.  Reduced seating would not substantially reduce revenues because only 2 to 4 special events might have made use of the additional seating.  Meanwhile, the reduced building volume would reduce energy use and thus operating cost.

There was also something about extra spectators being accomodated by standing or sitting on chairs outside the building on top of the roof of the locker rooms/offices, looking in the windows to watch what was happening on the ice.  Really unclear on this aspect.   Available drawings were insufficient.

Another contributor to costs is that the average utility connection for the facility is 475 feet.  Electricity has to come from Orange Grove because the adjacent substation does not have the needed capacity.  (Trenching under dog park, or possibly to the west of the park via trench or above ground concrete conduit.)   Water has to come from Orange Grove, Avocado, or Foothill.  Sewer is expected to be connected to Alameda Street sewer line, which is expected to be upgraded.

Ice rink operator is responsible for security of the building and parking lot.  There is no expectation the facility will be a attractive nuisance so there are no plans for extra area security by the police.

After the meeting a question was raised about whether solar panels had been considered for the big flat roof to offset some of the power demands of the facility.  Answer was that the available space between skylights would provide only a small fraction of the power needed and the cost/benefit tradeoffs showed they were better off getting a power cost reduction for energy savings.
