Certificate No.:06-61394M New Municipal Cemetery and Aggie Field of Honor Project Update On Wednesday September 27, 2006, the College Station Cemetery Advisory Committee, Parks and Recreation Staff members, and representatives from Edwards and Kelcey toured the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Killeen, Texas. The tour was arranged to help assist the Cemetery Committee and Parks and Recreation staff as they begin the process of developing a Master Plan for the new municipal cemetery. The Killeen cemetery was opened in late fall 2005, and is a rare opportunity to visit and tour a new facility. The 174 acre master planned site includes in-ground cremains and casket spaces, a scattering area for cremains, columbariums, a committal building, visitor center, assembly and plaza area, and administration/maintenance building. Edwards and Kelcey was selected as the top candidate that responded to a Request for Qualifications for the design work for the new cemetery. The Edwards and Kelcey Professional Services contract is scheduled for approval during the October 12, 2006 council meeting. The new College Station municipal cemetery will be located on 57 acres on the northwest corner of F. M. 2818 and F.M. 60. and will include approximately 20 acres designated as the Aggie Field of Honor. This area will be marketed to former students and families, faculty, and friends of Texas A&M University. Several public input meetings and design charrettes will be scheduled in the next few months to assist in the development of the Master Plan. This plan will include the location and scope of Phase I of the project that will be approximately 10 acres in size (5 acres municipal cemetery and 5 acres Aggie Field of Honor). As Phase I of the project is better known, a separate contract will be completed with Edwards and Kelcey to complete the final design work and construction documents for Phase I. A dedication ceremony is being planned for April 21, 2008. Members of the Cemetery Advisory Committee: Sarah Adams, Chair Virginia Reese Joe Wallace David Chester James Battenhorst Kevin Myers R. C.

The following guidelines should be used in designing parks and adjacent development: (a) Where physically feasible, park sites should be located adjacent to greenways and/or schools in order to encourage both shared facilities and the potential co-development of new sites. Comments: (b) A proposed subdivision adjacent to a park may not be designed to restrict reasonable access to the park from other area subdivisions. Street and greenway connections to existing or future adjoining subdivisions may be required to provide reasonable access to parks.
