The meeting was called to order at 7:10 p.m.
1. Approval of Parks and Recreation Board Minutes -- September 9, 1997 John stated
that on Item 6: Discussion of Parks Master Plan, the class developing the market
research survey was Dr. Stacey Baker's class, not his. Also, Scott Shafer's name
was misspelled. Item 8: Board Goals Report. Chris asked about the teen center
being constructed the following day. The minutes were corrected to read: the
construction of the teen center models would begin the following day. Elizabeth
stated that she spoke with the Chimney Hill residents not Spring Loop's. Minutes
were approved as amended.
2. Hear Visitors: No unscheduled visitors spoke.
3. Discussion of the Madeley Park Site in Park Zone 2: Steve explained the process
regarding the development of a park from its inception. He stated that there will be
a series of meetings, to include citizens from the area, that will gain information
from the residents as to what amenities they would like in the park. The second
meeting will include several conceptual drawings for citizen review and input.
Depending upon the input, staff will then proceed with developing a development
plan. The plan will then go to the Parks & Recreation Board for approval, then to
Council. He mentioned that most neighborhood parks do not have lights, rest
rooms, or game ballfields.
Ms. Nancy Berry stated that she is in favor of a park. She does not want to see a
detention pond, that she believes would contribute to a mosquito problem. She
also does not want Cooner Street broken through. She would rather see a walking
path developed for access. This would help deter people from getting there from
Texas Avenue. Ms. Berry stated that she would like the Board to proceed with
acquiring the property adjacent to Madeley Park.
Mr. Don Feltz stated that he would like to see it developed as a greenbelt area, and
left mostly undeveloped. Mr. Feltz also stated that the letter from the subdivision,
provided in the board packets, is not negative but rather addresses concerns of
noise, security, etc. He stated that he will encourage residents in that area to utilize
the park frequently to deter any illegal activity.
4. Presentation of Design Concepts for the Brazos Valley Solid Waste Management
Agency (BVSWMA) Landfill Site: Mr. Bill Angelo stated that he wants the landfill
site to be utilized after it's closed. He stated that 560,000 cubic yards of fill
material will be used to cover the site. They are proposing a lake where the
material will be removed from. Mr. Angelo stated that BVSWMA owns the land
and would maintain ownership due to laws regarding the maintenance
responsibilities of the landfill for the next 30 years. He stated that their Board of
Directors had already accepted the conceptual plan that was shown that night.
Ms. Risa Fisher, HDR Engineering, displayed a site layout of the proposed area.
The area included a lake, camping/parking area, hiking/biking trails, and a walking
archery trail.
John Crompton motioned to accept the conceptual plan. The motion was
seconded by Debra and passed.
5. Discussion and Consideration of Improvements to Central and Bee Creek Park
Softball Fields: Steve stated that discussion had taken place at previous board
meetings regarding enlarging the fields at Bee Creek so that the fields could be
utilized for more programs. Ric informed them that $200,000 was approved in the
1995 Bond Issue for improvements to Bee Creek and Central. He mentioned that at
Central the backstops will be replaced with 26' backstops. Another priority is to
correct the drainage problems on the site. A walk will be developed that will also
serve as a drainage way. He also stated that a shade cover will be added above the
bleachers. In addition, a small shelter with a few picnic tables will be constructed,
if funds allow. At Bee Creek the softball field will be completely rebuilt. The
irrigation system, which is 20 years old, will be replaced with a new electric valve
system. They will also provide conduit for score boards. They will also provide 8'
high fences, which are much safer than the shorter ones. The amount of bleachers
will be doubled. A handicap drinking fountain will be added. Ric stated that the
fields were originally set up as 250' and 275' fields that were used for adult play,
but are currently 200'. He said the fences should be installed by mid -February. He
also mentioned that the construction will not hamper any play.
Tony stated that with the increase to 250' fences, the fields could be used for
overflow of adult softball tournaments. He stated that this would also help with the
Parks & Recreation Board 11/7/97 Page 2
increased play of intramural games. He stated that if temporary fences needed to
be installed for certain programs, that could be done easily. He stated that the
league currently plays 3,200 games a year with four fields and the program needs
overflow fields. He stated that most fences are being built to 310'. Tony also
mentioned that the dugouts will allow access to the fields instead of having to enter
the field through a gate.
Bob was concerned about the overflow hampering the girl's softball program. Tony
stated that the only thing that would be scheduled would be tournaments on the
weekends which would not affect the girl's program.
Bob motioned to accept the proposal to extend the fences to 250' on field 2 and
275' on field 1, with the fields to stay as girls softball fields. The motion passed.
6. Discussion and Consideration of Conceptual Plans for the Crowley Addition: Mr.
Crowley stated that the highway should be completed in about 24 months. He
stated that it will be going through a heavy population of Navasota Ladies Tresses.
In order to get a portion of their funds, they must get approval from the Texas
Wildlife & Fisheries to develop a mitigation area for the flowers. Mr. Crowley
mentioned that CSISD requested proposals for a high school in that area. He stated
that he suggested a sixty -acre site which would be good for a school site. He stated
that the school district would like a joint school / park site. Mr. Crowley informed
the Board that his dedication requirement is a little less than 16 acres. He is willing
to donate a small portion of land above his dedication requirement. He stated that
they are predicting 25,000 vehicles on Highway 40. He mentioned that there will
be an exit sign off of SH6 for Texas A&M and the George Bush Library.
Bob motioned to accept the general plan that includes a joint high school and park
site. Mike seconded, the motion carried.
7. Discussion of the use of Tobacco Products and Smoking Regulations in Public
Places: Bob stated that he would like the city to possibly provide a no -smoking
section at the amphitheater. Even if a non-smoker sits down where no one is
smoking, someone could still sit down right beside them and start smoking. Steve
stated that on smaller events, there probably wouldn't be a problem with sectioning
off an area for smokers. However, with larger events it would be very difficult due
to the number of people. John motioned that the department make every feasible
effort to section off an area for smoking and non-smoking for every event held at
the amphitheater. Bob seconded the motion, Mike abstained, the motioned passed.
8. Discussion of the Use of Glass Containers in Parks: Bob displayed a broken bottle
that he found on the soccer field at the goal site last month. He also complained
about the amount of trash left on the soccer fields by the adult soccer league. The
Board discussed whether a fee could be charged for the cleanup of the fields. Bob
stated that he doubted the fees could be collected. John asked Steve to bring back
ordinances for various other cities that have dealt with this problem so that the
Board could go forward with a proposal to City Council. Bob mentioned that the
next Recreational Sports Association meeting would be October 28, and that he
would like to be able to address the issue at that meeting. Bob mentioned that
Parks & Recreation Board 11/7/97 Page 3
there are about 40 soccer teams and that not all of them are problems. He would
like to bring the issue of trash in the parks to the next meeting.
Steve suggested the Board review the current ordinance and bring back any items
that they deem necessary to change at the next meeting.
9. Discussion of a Survey Related to a Future Parks Master Plan: Barbie Tuck, A&M
student, stated that the focus group used for the survey was directed towards what
residents, seven people, visioned for parks in College Station. The group's main
concern was that they felt they didn't need anymore swimming pools or softball
fields. They addressed their desire for more linear parks, and hike and bike trails,
with all parks connecting by trails. They also addressed some concerns with
program registration. They would like to be able to call in their registration
information so that they don't have to come into the office. Ms. Stacey Baker stated
that the focus group consisted of citizens that were avid park users. She informed
the Board that the survey will be a 40-50 question survey. She said about 300
surveys will be distributed. Ms. Baker stated that a rough draft will be developed
on about October 23. The surveys will be delivered door-to-door and then picked
up a couple of days later. Elizabeth asked if Ms. Baker would provide the Board
with a copy of the draft prior to the next meeting. Ms. Baker said she would, if it
was ready.
10. Advisory Committee Appointments: a. Lincoln Center— Elizabeth mentioned that
she was very upset that the staff at the Lincoln Center did not post the
announcement regarding the openings on the Lincoln Center Advisory Committee
in a timely manner. Mike mentioned that he received the agenda for the meeting
the day of the meeting.
Bob stated that he would like Helen Pugh to be reconsidered for appointment to the
committee. Elizabeth mentioned that Larry Johnson informed her that he has heard
Ms. Pugh use racial comments, and would feel uncomfortable with her serving on
the committee. Mike asked if the appointments could be deferred until the meeting
the following week. The Board agreed.
Elizabeth stated that she heard the Center was going to offer boxing and asked if
that was going to be sponsored by the city. Steve stated that he didn't know
anything about that and would check on it.
b. Conference Center: John motioned to reappoint Francine Lamb. The motion
passed.
11. Capital Improvement Program Report: Ric stated that Wayne Smith Park is going
well. He also said that Edelweiss Park will have 80 trees installed instead of the
reported 40. No other changes were reported.
12. Board Goals Report: Steve stated that the Wheeler Trust refused the city's offer of
1.5 million for the 169 acres. They are firm on their $10,000 per acre.
13. Committee Reports:
Parks & Recreation Board 1117197 Page 4
a. Lick Creek Park -John Crompton: John stated that they will be meeting Saturday
morning from 9:00-12:00 p.m. He said that an overview will be done from about
9:00 till 9:30 a.m. and encouraged everyone to come. John mentioned that a
recommendation will be made by the committee that "no bikes, or horses be
allowed in the park." b. Recreational Sports Association - Bob DeOtte: Bob
mentioned that Ron Carter stated that a decision would be made that night by the
Little League Board on whether they would offer girl's softball. Bob stated that if
Little League refuses to offer the program, the parents could go to Waco and
establish another charter for girl's softball. c. Parkland Dedication -- John
Crompton: John mentioned that the first meeting had been scheduled for Friday,
October 17. e. Board Chair -- Elizabeth Cunha: She stated that she spoke with the
Mayor and she stated that there is already a committee between the city and CSISD.
Mayor Mcllhaney stated that since there re more liaisons to the boards,
members re welcome to attend the "bye with Mayor" to address any
concerns. s a d that she does not want the whole Board showing up, but
encouraged someone showing up if an issue is being addressed.
14. Other Business/Board Concerns: John asked about the swimming organization and
wanted to know how it was going. Steve mentioned that some issues had been
addressed and stated that each group will receive funds depending on the number
of events scheduled.
Bob asked about moving funds out of zone 5 into zone 10. Ric mentioned that
those funds Bob is talking about have already been budgeted for Edelweiss Park.
Steve does not think that funds will be able to be used from 5 to 10.
Chris stated that he had a concern with the Wheeler site and suggested going to
Council to agree to the Wheeler's request. Steve stated that the Board could meet
with Council to discuss the issue. Steve stated that the next closed session would
be next Thursday at 5:00 p.m. He will check with the City Manager and will notify
the Board of the outcome.
Steve mentioned that there was a big controversy regarding the relocation of Carter
Creek. The Brazos Greenways Council is actively opposing the proposal.

ATHLETIC PARK SITE EVALUATION
The objective of this investigation is to identify potential sites within the city limits of College
Station that can be purchased and utilized as a major athletic park. Funds for the purchase of
this park were approved in the 1995 bond issue in the amount of $1.5 million. One-third of this
money is scheduled to be available in October,1997.
The growth in demand for both youth and adult athletics has necessitated the need for
additional facilities. A large facility containing a number of different athletic uses is preferred
because of its efficient use of shared infrastructure such as utilities, parking, and roadways.
Maintenance activities are also more efficient because of the reduced travel time by
personnel and equipment. A list of anticipated usage is provided with this report, however,
final design elements will not be known until a comprehensive site planning process has been
completed.
Analysis of the desired and potential amenities for the park has shown that a minimum of 120
developable acres will be needed. A more realistic size would be 120 to 150 acres in order
to provide adequate site design alternatives.
The process began with Development Services identifying properties or groups of properties
100+ acres or more, within the College Station city limits, that would serve as potential sites
for consideration. A total of eleven sites were identified. The sites were delineated on an
i
aerial photo, and identified with an A through Kletter designation.
The initial listing of advantages and disadvantages took place with members of the
Development Services and Parks and Recreation Department staff to develop sufficient
information so that sites which were impractical for further detailed analysis could be
eliminated. Six sites were subsequently rejected, however, information concerning these
rejected sites is included with this report. Additional information was researched for the
remaining five sites. Aerial photos and topographic maps were obtained to perform a site
analysis on each site. The amenities list was used to develop a potential site plan to show
each of the five sites' potential and further display the sites' advantages and disadvantages.
An additional review took place with Development Services and Parks and Recreation
Department staff to further refine the key characteristics of each site. This list of
characteristics was developed into a chart that indicates through pluses and minuses, the
advantages of each site. Land ownership and value was not researched but the "best guess"
of the staff was used to make some judgments in this area. For instance, many tracts have
multiple ownership, a factor that will make acquisition more difficult. Also, some tracts have
occupied residential structures on them which would require relocation assistance.
The five sites that received secondary consideration are listed with a detailed analysis of
each. These sites were evaluated on each of the thirteen identified site characteristics using a
simple procedure of assigning either a "+" or "-" in each category. A recommendation is made
based upon this evaluation process.
Site visits were made, however staff did not enter the properties. Additional research will
be required prior to a final recommendation being made to the City Council. This will include
things such as an environmental assessment and an appraisal of the property.

R OMMENDATION
Examination of the eleven sites has revealed that there are few sites within the College
Station city limits that combine adequate size with a low number of difficult site
characteristics.
Sites I and J are the highest ranked with the fewest negatives. Both sites share similar
advantages that make them ideal for a large athletic park. Single ownership with adequate
acreage will ease acquisition problems and access is excellent with frontage on both Highway
60 and Highway 30. These two locations are within easy reach by citizens for league play.
Visitors playing in tournaments will be within easy reach of hotels and local restaurants. These
two sites will also be easy to find for visiting tournament teams.
These two sites are located where neighborhood conflicts with athletic field lighting will be
minimized. One of the more important considerations is the good utility access to both sites.
Area J will have a slightly more difficult sewer connection requiring some extension, but it is
not an unreasonable distance. Each site can be developed as a contiguous park without flood
plain or thoroughfare interruptions.
The few negatives include: an oil well on site I and the vegetation on J. The oil well on i is
inactive but the design of the site would require screening for the well. The vegetation on J is
primarily brush and small trees that would require clearing for athletic fields. With skillful
design, these trees could lower landscaping costs.
Site E has potential because of its relatively low land price, access to proposed Highway 40
and it is located in the southern portion of the city. it will be difficult to provide sewer to
Site E.
It is recommended that further work continue on these sites to determine appraised. values
and asking prices. Environmental assessments of each site may point out further useful
differences. it is also recommended that an option to buy be obtained or a purchase occur,
so that the desired property is not sold for other uses. A further advantage to locking in a
definite site is the ability to masterplan the site with cooperation between the Parks and
Recreation Board, staff, athletic groups, citizens, and the City Council before the next bond
program. This will promote consensus and allow proposed development costs to be
calculated.
Another option to facilitate the early purchase of a site is the utilization of a non-profit
agency such as "The Trust For Public Land'. This agency is active in acquiring land for park
purposes on an interim basis. Further investigation of this option can be explored if so
directed.

MEMORANDUM
October 10, 1997
TO: Parks & Recreation Board
FROM: Steve Beachy, Director of Parks & RecreatioX5�
SUBJECT: ITEMS OF INTEREST
1. TEEN ADVISORY BOARD - The Teen Advisory Board (TAB) held a skate party
for 7th and 8th grade students at the Wolf Pen Family Recreation Center on
Thursday, September 25, 6:30-10:00 p.m. Approximately 280 attended this very
successful event. The WPC Recreation Center is anxious for the TAB to hold
another event at their facility. TAB also scheduled "rock climbing" at the TAMU
Recreation Center on Saturday, September 27, at 10:00 a.m. Only 18 students
attended. The low turn out was due to a conflict with the Public Relations
Committee meeting.
2. JOINT MEETING - The joint meeting with the Bryan Parks & Recreation Board is
scheduled for October 21, at 7:30 p.m. Possible topics of discussion include
greenways, alcohol in the parks, teen programs and other areas of mutual interest.
The meeting will be held in the Basement Training Room, Bryan City Hall, 300
Texas Ave. A list of their members is included with the packets.
3. ADULT FLAG FOOTBALL - Games are being played on Sundays at Southwood
Athletic Complex. The season will last from September through November. The
top two teams will be eligible to participate at the Texas Amateur Athletic
Federation State Tournament in December. The department registered 15 teams
and a total of 180 participants. This is the same number as last year.
Home of Texas A&M University
4. YOUTH FLAG FOOTBALL - Games are being played on Monday/Wednesday or
Tuesday/Thursday nights with practices and some games on Saturdays at
Southwood Athletic Complex. This program is for boys and girls in grades 1-6.
The season will last from October through November. This year 40 teams were
formed with a total of 331 participants. This is a reduction from last year's
registration numbers by 8 teams and 51 participants.
5. LANDFILL CONCEPTUAL SITE PLANS - Members of our staff have met with
representatives of the Brazos Valley Solid Waste Management Agency (BVSMA)
and HDR Engineering Company to discuss potential recreational use for the
landfill site after it is closed. The consultants will present their recommendations
at the next Board meeting. The site includes a total of 119 acres. Of this,
approximately 70 acres are utilized as the fill site. The property has
approximately 1,000 feet of frontage on Greens Prairie Road and the fill site will
rise approximately 54 feet above the natural grade, making it the largest
"mountain" in Brazos County. Potential uses being considered include camping,
fishing, archery, model airplane facilities and mountain bike trails.
6. BEE CREEK PARK SOFTBALL FENCES - We will be discussing options
concerning the outfield fence distances at Bee Creek Park at the Board meeting.
This was a item of concern with some individuals during past meetings and we
will notify them that this is being considered at this time. Our recommendation is
to have both fields enlarged from the current 200' to 250'. This will provide greater
flexibility in the utilization of these fields.
7. EXPLORER POST 1033 - The Disaster Preparedness Explorer Post sponsored by
the Department has begun the fall season with several exciting events. A camping
trip to Pedernales Falls State Park on the weekend of September 26 - 28th was very
successful. A total of 10 youths and 4 adults participated and all had a good time.
We have 11 active members and 4 new recruits that plan to join this month. Our
next activity is a special presentation by a Department of Public Safety official
concerning the response and recovery efforts related to the devastating tornado
that hit Jarrell, Texas on May 27th. Exploring is a division of the Boy Scouts of
America and is open to both male and female youth ages 14 - 20.
8. CARTER CREEK RECLAMATION PROJECT - Developer Mike Davis is
pursuing a project to reclaim floodway and floodplain of Carter Creek in the
vicinity of the East Bypass and Highway 60. This would also include redirecting
the creek to the east to allow commercial development along the East Bypass. This
project will cover over 300 acres of land and is a source of concern for the Brazos
Greenways Council. There are a number of issues the City Council will have to
deal with including drainage, zoning, and comprehensive plan recommendations.
9. EAGLE SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE - A sponsorship package has been
developed that will allow the Parks & Recreation Department to receive free
advertising for Parade of Lights, Christmas in the Park, Summer Youth Theater,
Cinco de Mayo and the Jazz & Blues Festival. The package will also include
reduced printing charges for Xtra Education brochures as well as insertion
circulation of the brochures. The Eagle has agreed further to promote various
events through coupons and showcase sections of the newspaper. In return Eagle
circulation racks will be placed at several parks, City Hall, the Conference Center
and the CVB. This is a win -win partnership that will benefit both groups as well
as provide a great service for the community.

Refere ce: Parks and Recreation Board recommendation to the City of College
Station Council to approve the purchase of property in the Chimney Hill
�. «Subdivision. for the development of a park (see attached).
Dear Mayor McIlhaney,
The Board of Directors of the Chimney Hill Improvement Association (Home Owners
Association) met on 16 September 1997 to discuss the above referenced subject. We were
surprised to learn of the recommendation to establish a park in our neighborhood without
initial input or early involvement of Chimney Hill home owners, townhouse owners, and
patio home owners. Our neighborhood organization recently appeared before the Council
regarding a proposed housing development for this same property and we are very
appreciative of the Council's attentiveness and positive response to our concerns.
We desire at this early planning stage to make our concerns known to the Council regarding
the purchase of the daffar and Ford properties in the Chimney Hill Subdivision for the
establishment of a public park.
These expressed concerns are not intended to indicate total opposition to the purchase of
the property for a park. Under certain restrictions for development and use of the park, and
a firm commitment by the city to use this property as intended, some home owners may
prefer a park at this location as compared to a future housing development.
Increase of traffic on Chimnev Hill Drive The anticipated increase in traffic on
Chimney Hill Drive due to the park is of primary concern. Chimney Hill Drive will be
the only practical access by auto to the park. This is very significant as Chimney Hill
Drive is not a through street. Also, the one-way streets in the area present a less than
desirable traffic pattern for access to the park. It should be noted that Chimney Hill
Drive experienced a considerable increase in traffic when the one-way streets were
established. The increase in traffic is due mainly to the Spring Loop apartment
residents using Chimney Hill Drive to gain access to Randali's. Also,we are now
experiencing excessive speeds of autos on Chimney Hill Drive. Additional traffic on
Chimney Hill Drive is not desired.

Ni ht Activities Liohtinq. and Noise There is concern that night activities, bright
lights if planned, and noise from the park will disturb the tranquility of our isolated
subdivision.
Druo Traffic There is concern that the park will attract drug traffic as parks often do.
Due to the isolated location of the park there is a concern that excessive unobserved
illegal activities plight occur. A plan for frequent or routine surveillance might be
required. The introduction of this type of activity to our neighborhood is obviously not
wanted.
Cooner Street Access We oppose any planned opening of Cooner Street into the
park that would allow traffic to connect with Chimney Hill Drive, City planners in the
past have opposed the connection of Cooner Street to Chimney Hill Drive. We hope
they still do.
Existino Park Nearbv The presence of an existing small park within one block of the
proposed location raises the question of the need for an additional park in this area.
What is the utilization of the park directly across from Randa.11's?
We look forward to the opportunity to be involved and interact with the Council when this
subject is scheduled for discussion. We also plan to visit with the Parks and Recreation
Board to gain more information about the proposed park.
! Your attention to these concerns regarding future action taken by the Council on the
proposed park will be appreciated.

Dear Mr. Vasquez:
I have received a complaint from the President of the Lutheran Church regarding members of the
adult soccer league and I am requesting your assistance in preventing future problems. The
compliant involves several issues including vehicles parking in the wrong areas, trash and litter and
players urinating on or near the Church property. Your players and spectators have been parking in
the church drive and blocking the entrance as well as blocking access to the fire hydrant. Parking is
provided in the park as well as along both sides of Krenek Tap Road. There is ample space for
parking in these areas without infringing upon the church property.
Restrooms are available at the soccer fields for the use of your players and spectators. Please
inform them that the City will not tolerate .people urinating in public and will pursue legal actions
for future incidents. Also, cleanup of the trash and litter generated by the soccer program is a cost
to the City that will be passed on to the league in future use agreements if the problem is not
resolved.
I am asking that you take positive steps to help us resolve these problems as soon as possible. The ' .4,
future use of City facilities is dependent upon your league operating in a manner that is safe and
amenable to our neighbors, other park users and the public'in general. Your cooperation in this
matter is appreciated.
Sincer y,

City of College Station
1000 Krenek Tap Road
College Station, Texas 77840
Dear Mr. Beachy,
We would like to express our appreciation to the City for providing areas of recreation to
the citizens of College Station. As neighbors to Central Park, we have found occasions to
use the park for some of our activities.
However, we have some concerns which we would like to bring to your attention and ask
for your assistance in helping solve these.
Due to having our pastor accept a call to serve another congregation in Fond du Lac,
Wisconsin, it has become necessary for us to hold our worship services on Sunday
evenings. For the past several weeks, more and more vehicles have begun to use our
driveway as a parking lot. This past Sunday (September 14) cars were parked on both
sides of the driveway making it extremely difficult for vehicles to enter our parking lot.
These cars have also been blocking the fire hydrant at the end of the drive which, in case
of an emergency could create problems. In addition to the parking problem, we have
witnessed people urinating on or near the property, throwing trash (including beer
bottles/cans) onto the property, and using our faucets to fill water coolers.
While there advantages of being "neighborly", we feel that the situation has gotten out of
hand. We have been told that being private property, the police and fire department can
not intervene. However, we do have the right to have the vehicles towed at the owners
expense. This option is the last thing we want to do, but may have to out of necessity. We
hope with your help, this whole problem can be resolved quickly and neighborly.
Yours very truly,
I i

Central Park: College Station Director of Athletics
1000 Krenek Tap Rd.
College Station TX, 77840
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am an avid tennis player, who enjoys the sport and the competition. This is apparent,
because I have been patient enough to wait as long as two hours for a city tennis court to
open up in the evening at Southwood Valley or Bee Creek Park many times this past
summer. Obviously tennis is a popular summer sport in College Station, or there would
be slightly less waiting outside the courts involved in playing tennis. I have discussed
this problem with fellow tennis players, (many of whom spent a good deal of time next to
me on the benches) and we have observed that there is an enormous track of land
adjacent to the Southwood Valley courts that could be used to expand the tennis facilities.
I know the Director of Athletics is not in charge of construction of new park facilities, but
I would be pleased if you were to bring this situation to the attention of the country
clubers who are in charge planning and financing city projects. I also plan on writing to
the College Station City Council (who are the same country clubers), and I hope that with
the assistance of the Director of Athletics, the city of College Station will at least know
that there is an annoying problem.
Yours truly,
Ross Sassen

TO: Lick Creek Advisory Committee Members
FROM: John L. Crompton, Chair QIV/
SUBJECT: Design Chanette
The Users Sub -Committee and the Resources Sub -Committee have completed their tasks and
their draft reports are enclosed. These are likely to be further refined in the next few days, but
these drafts give a good feel for the thinking of the two committees at this point.
You will recall that the next stage in the process is to translate these ideas into some alternative
concept designs. This will be done at the design charrette which will take place at the College
Station Conference Center, Room 101, on Saturday, October 18 from 9 a m. -12:30 p. M
The tentative program for the charrette is attached. It will be led by Dr. Scott Shafer, whose
planning class at A&M will be responsible for further development of the design concepts that
emerge from the Advisory CounciPs efforts on Saturday.
Even if you have not been able to participate in the sub -committees' deliberations to this point, we
urge you to come and share your ideas at this crucial stage. If you have any questions, please
give me a call. My home number is 696-0925; office 845-5320,
Hope to see you next Saturday.

LICK CREEK PARK DESIGN CHARRETTE
i
Date: October 18, 1997
Time: 9 A.M. - 12:30 P.M.
Place:. College Station Conference Center
Particpants: Lick Creek Advisory Board, C.S. Parks Board, TAMU Park Planning and
Design Students
Purpose: The charrette is being held in order to develop alternative ideas about how to
proceed with the future development and management of Lick Creek Park based on the
biophysical and human use characteristics of the area.
® Develop an understanding of where and what the sensitive resource areas (cultural,
biological) are within Lick Creek Park.
® Develop an understanding what types of use are currently taking place at Lick Creek
Park and those deemed appropriate for future use.
® Analyze current use patterns, and related facilities, to determine where resource/user
conflicts and complements currently exist.
® Synthesize new information about the resource and appropriate use into a concept
drawing.
Tentative Schedule:
9:00 - 9:30 The park and current thinking from advisory groups.
10 min. biophysical and cultural resource presentation
10 min. current and future use presentation
9:35 - 10:15 Group brainstorming for ideas about relationships between the resource
and its users. For example, where facilities should be located and why,
future development and access issues, user conflict issues.
10:15 - 11:30 Concept designs suggesting development scenarios (what facilities to
place in the park and where) drawn using base maps as guides. Ideas
about design elements such as materials, colors and styles encouraged
here.
11: 35 - 12:25 Light lunch served. Group concepts presented. (10 minutes per group)

RE: Carter Creek Relocation Proposal and Drainage Ordinance Amendment
In 1986 the City Council passed a resolution expressing community.support for a floodplain .
reclamation project relocating and channelizing Carter's Creek. This resolution came about as a
result of a project Mike Davis .was working on at the time, .
In June of this year, Mr. Davis presented to the City of College.StatioWa "Carter's Creek
Relocation Report": and requested that this be forwarded to FEMA (Federal Emergency .
Management Agency);for a conditional letter of map revisions (CLOMR). This project also
involves the City.of Bryan The report is presented on behalf of the :Jim Sowell Construction.Co.,
Inc, property owner. ,
As --you are well aware, the Comprehensive Plan was, adopted in .A:ugust of this year by resolution
The staff is and has been working to implement the various goal and objective statements and
policy statements through ordinance amendments. One such amendment involves the Drainage
Ordinance. This ordinance is designed to regulate development to avoid flooding. What it does not
currently do is specifically address certain drainage areas.referenced in the Comprehensive Plan, as
needing protection. -
The amendment before the P&Z on 10-2 adds language to the Drainage Ordinance that does two
things:
1. Provides for creation of a Drainage Variance Board to hear requests from any aspect of
the ordinance. Presently variances are heard by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The
Drainage Board is proposed to have.3 members required to have engineering background,
one member. required to have a real-estate background and one member required to have an
environmental/conservation background.
2. Provides for a thirty day review time, rather than a 10 day review time, for proposals
involving the following specific drainage areas referenced in the Comprehensive Plan:
The entirety of Carter's Creek,
The main channel and south fork of Lick Creek,
Wolf Pen Creek from SH 6 By -Pass to the confluence with Carter's Creek and
Home of Texas A&M University
The Brazos River.
One of the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan states "College Station should prohibit
reclamation of the floodway associated with Carter's Creek, Lick Creek, Wolf Pen Creek
and the Brazos River in order to prevent upstream flooding, avoid long term structural and -
erosion problems associated with floodplain reclamation, and to provide a city wide,<, ,
network of natural open space."
