All were in favor, and the motion passed unanimously. Regular Meetina - March 9, 2004. Gary Erwin moved to approve the minutes from the March 9, 2004, meeting. Larry Farnsworth seconded the motion. All were in favor, and the motion passed unanimously. Proposed TMPA Reaional Park Site Tour - April 15, 2004. Gary Erwin stated that he had one correction to the minutes. His name had been left off of the list of those attending the tour. Jodi Warner made a motion to approve the minutes of the site tour with the change mentioned. Don A. seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Page 1 of 6 Regular Meeting of April 20, 2004 5. Presentation, discussion, and possible action reaardina Woodway, Park Plan. Eric Ploeger briefly discussed the history of the Woodway Park site and the public hearing that had been held on March 3, 2004. A concept had been created which incorporated items based on the input from citizens at that hearing. Peter Vanecek described the concept for the park, which included: a jogging loop/trail system (1/2 mile), a 50-space parking lot, a rentable picnic pavilion that would hold approximately 80-100 people, restrooms, a standard size playground (not a tot playground), volleyball and basketball courts, a small shelter, a nine -hole disc golf course, and three or four picnic units in the more heavily wooded area of the park. The pond, which would need some renovation, would probably include a fishing pier. The disc golf course would be separated from the areas of higher activity in the park. The walkways would be lit. April Conkey asked whether the jogging path would be concrete or a rubber cushioned surface. Peter stated that perhaps a smaller loop could be done using rubber cushioned surfacing, but the remainder would be concrete. Ms. Conkey also asked if the disc golf area and the area around the pond would be left wooded. Peter responded that some thinning would probably be done for the first couple of holes for the disc golf course and for better visibility by the Police Department. John N. added that he would prefer to see the sidewalks set back from the street. This request would be forwarded to the Public Works Department. The project should go out to bid in the fall. It would cost approximately $600,000 to construct the park, plus the land acquisition costs. The pond work was the biggest unknown factor. Don A. made a motion to adopt the concept presented as the Master Plan for Woodway Park, and Gary E. seconded. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. 6. Discussion. consideration, and possible action reaardinq Park Land Dedication requests. ■ Horse Haven Estates ,.► The proposed subdivision of 22 lots required only a .22 acre land dedication. Staff was recommending acceptance of the fees of $12,232, in lieu of the land. Connectivity to nearby Windwood and Raintree Parks would be an issue to consider in the future, as the remaining property in that area is developed. Discussion with the developer and the engineer followed regarding different options for connectivity. Glen D. moved to accept the fee in lieu of land subject to the developer putting in a dedicated sidewalk easement from Horseshoe Drive, towards Switch Station Road, in order to provide access to Windwood Park. (The street name on the developer's site plan presented to the Board was shown as Horseshoe Drive, but this had not been approved by 911 and could Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Page 2 of 6 Regular Meeting of April 20, 2004 change.) The motion was seconded by Don A. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. ■ Edelweiss Gartens, Phase 6-11 ,.► The proposed dedication of 6.03 acres included some detention area that would be configured for use as an open play area or practice facility. The required dedication of 3.16 acres would be located outside of the detention area. There would be good connectivity between this area and the existing portion of Edelweiss Gartens, creating a total park of 13.7 acres. Staff recommended acceptance of the land dedication. Glen D. moved to accept the dedication of the 6.03 acres of land. Don A. seconded. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. ■ Williams Creek Subdivision N Approximately 110 single-family home sites would be developed, resulting in a required dedication of little more than an acre. There was the possibility for future phases. Staff had not come up with a recommendation, but may want to discuss with the developer the future of the entire piece of property. The tract has 70'-80' differences in elevation, the likelihood of Navasota Ladies Tresses, and streams that are under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers, so the developer is limited as to what can be done. The owners would have liked to dedicate land, but had not considered any specific location. After lengthy discussion, Glen D. moved to accept the fee in lieu of the land dedication, with the stipulation that the developer work with staff to determine if it would be feasible to establish a park in future phases. Don A. seconded. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. 7. Reoort. discussion, and possible action concernina reauests for namina of Jack & Dorothy Miller Park ioaaina track. Rhonda Raphael with Rock Prairie PTO was present to request that the track at Jack and Dorothy Miller Park be named in honor of Coach Carole Weldon. Since the discussion at the April meeting regarding this, the City Council had approved the proposed "Guidelines for the Naming of City Facilities", and a petition with 28 names in support of the request had been turned over to staff. Staff recommended that this issue be turned over to the Facility Naming Subcommittee to act on, and then make a recommendation to the Board. It would probably be fall before this could be approved and a plaque created. A meeting of the Facility Naming Subcommittee was then scheduled for May 7, 2004, at noon. The Board asked for a resolution from the Rock Prairie PTO Board showing that they were in support of this project. Ms. Raphael said she would try to get this prior to the May 7th meeting. A letter from the principal of Rock Prairie Elementary was also requested. S. Discussion, consideration, and uossible action renardina potential nark and areenwav ioint uroiect with the City of Brvan. A possible Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Page 3 of 6 Regular Meeting of April 20, 2004 between College Station park property (Veterans Park & Athletic Complex) and the adjacent Texas A&M property, with 90 acres of Bryan park property through greenways and trails. Future connections could potentially go south to Lick Creek Park and north to the Brazos Center. This was a conceptual thought only and no proposal had been developed or specific land tracts designated. There was a lot of floodplain involved, but if developed, it would create a pedestrian and wildlife corridor between the sites. Steve introduced Kristan Clann, the City's new Greenway Coordinator and explained that this would involve greenway types of projects. This concept was shown on the Greenways Master Plan as part of the greenways system. This was an informational item only and no action was required. 9. Discussion, consideration, and Dossible action reaardina Eastaate Park Master Plan. City Council had recently elevated this project on their list of priorities and would like for it to create more of a gateway going into the neighborhood. Peter V. stated that this park had gone through a few different designs, however, the new conceptual plan included major landscaping behind the commercial buildings with raised planter beds, flowering trees, evergreen shrubs, walkways, and possibly a sculpture fountain area in the middle. The brick pavers used would match those in the islands on Texas Avenue. The park was not big enough to put in a playground or ball fields. Keep Brazos Beautiful would be contributing approximately $40,000 to help do part of the landscaping and additional funding would be requested to do the remainder of the project. This would be part of the follow-up report to City Council on April 29t" (see item 10 below). The total cost for the project would be approximately $180,000. In addition to Council's desire to see improvements in Eastgate Park, improvements for Eastgate had also been requested in a small area plan that had been conducted two or three years earlier. Some of these improvements had been included in the recent bond package as a result of that small area plan. Glen D. made a motion to accept the concept presented as the Master Plan for Eastgate Park, subject to a special request for funding outside of the normal budget process. Don A. seconded. Discussion followed regarding the funding of the project. Hearing no further discussion, the motion was voted on as stated, and carried five to one. 10. Follow-uo report, reaardina recommendations from February 26, 2004 Park Issues Reuort to Citv Council. Steve had been asked to present to Council at their April 29t" meeting, a proposal to light soccer fields over a five- year period and address some neighborhood park issues. Handouts were distributed summarizing the three different options for the soccer field lights. Ten existing soccer fields had been identified as appropriate - four fields at Veterans Park, three at Central, and the three new fields to be built at Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Page 4 of 6 Regular Meeting of April 20, 2004 Veterans Park. (See attached handouts for details of the options.) Council would have to authorize debt authorization to pay for this. If that is done, then it would probably be best to group those projects as described in Option 3. The Neighborhood Park Proposal (attached) dealt with improvements to four parks - Eastgate, Steeplechase Park, Woodland Hills, and University parks. The proposal phased the improvements out, doing Eastgate and Steeplechase first. University Park would be eligible for Community Development Block Grant funds. Once Council makes a recommendation as to how many of these projects they want done and how soon, staff can move forward. This does not utilize any existing bond money or affect any other existing projects. Glen D. asked if the soccer clubs had been asked to help with the lighting project. Steve said no, they had not been asked. John N. stated that he felt both the Lighting Proposal and the Neighborhood Park Improvement Proposal were equally important. Glen D. felt it was important to explore all avenues of revenue generation in the lighting process, such as grant applications for user participation. Glen D. made a motion to endorse the general concept and the priorities as listed. Gary E. seconded the motion. No further discussion being heard, the motion was voted on and passed unanimously. 11. Report, discussion, and possible action reaardina Fees Subcommittee meetinq. There had been a meeting of the subcommittee and one of the items worked on had been a draft Athletic Field Priority of Use Policy'. The subcommittee needed to schedule another meeting to go over the draft and discuss a few other issues. Another meeting was set for Tuesday, April 27, 2004, at 4:00 p.m. Glen D. said he would like for the subcommittee to come back to the Board at the May meeting with a recommendation on 2005 user fees. 12. Renort, discussion, and possible action concernina Second Ouarter Park Maintenance Standards. This report had gone out in the Board packets. Steve explained that as part of the budget process, additional funds would be requested to increase the Replacement Fund from $75,000 to $100,000 per year. This would help with replacing items such as playgrounds, court resurfacing, and drinking fountains on a timelier basis. This was an informational item only. 13. Report. discussion, and possible action concernina the Capital Improvement Proaram. Eric P. stated that nine bids had been turned in and opened for the Lincoln Expansion Project. Six were within budget, including alternates. Approval for the contract would go to City Council at Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Page 5 of 6 Regular Meeting of April 20, 2004 their first May meeting and construction would start shortly thereafter. A groundbreaking ceremony would be held mid -May. Glen D. asked if the money for the Jack & Dorothy Miller Park exercise equipment had come out of Park Land Dedication funds. Eric said that $40,689 had come out of that fund, with the remaining coming out of the Replacement Fund. 14. Review. discussion, and possible action concerning Board and Department Goals and Obiectives, and Citv Council Strategic Plan. Hearing no discussion, this item was closed. 15. Discussion of calendar, future meeting dates, and possible agenda items. ■ Presentation by Recreation, Park and Tourism Sciences Department regarding conceptual plan for TMPA Regional Park N Dr. Scott Shafer had done concept plans for the park site and would be presenting them to the Brazos Valley Council of Governments on May 3rd. A notice would be sent out to the Board as a reminder. ■ Regular meeting on May 11, 2004 N The May meeting would be held at the TAMU Horticulture Gardens. There would be people there to answer any questions posed by the Board and to do a section by section overview of the Gardens and what it takes to keep them maintained. The board would meet at 5:30 p.m., at the site. 16. Adiourn. A motion was made to adjourn and seconded.

Consideration will be given to land that is in the floodplain or may be considered "floodable" even though not in a federally regulated floodplain as long as, due to Its elevation, it is suitable for park Improvements. (a) Neighborhood park sites should be adjacent to residential areas in a manner that serves the greatest number of users. Comments: The proposed park is centered in the neighborhood. (b) Neighborhood park sites should be located so that users are not required to cross arterial roadways to access them. Comments: (c) Sites should not be severely sloped or have unusual topography which would render the land unusable for organized recreational activities. Comments: The property out of the detention ares is useable for a variety of recreational uses. (d) Sites should have existing trees or other scenic elements. Comments: (e) Detention/retention areas will not be accepted as part of the required dedication, but may be accepted in addition to the required dedication. If accepted as part of the park, the detention/retention area design must be approved by the City staff and must meet specific parks specifications. Comments: The required dedication is met without consideration of the detention area. 10-F. 2 Parks should be easy to access and open to public view so as to benefit area development, enhance the visual character of the city, protect public safety, and minimize conflict with adjacent land uses. 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: Park Land Dedication Checklist O/Board/Park Land Dedication/checklist/Originals/Long Version Revised.xls Page 3 Comments: (c) Where a non-residential use must directly abut a park, the use must be separated by a screening wall or fence and landscaping. Access points to the park may be allowed by the Planning and Zoning Commission if a public benefit is established. Comments: (d) It is desirable that a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the perimeter of a park should abut a public street. In all cases, the City shall approve the proposed street alignment fronting on city parks. Comments: The proposed park has acceptable street access. (e) Streets abutting a park shall be built in accordance with the thoroughfare plan and the standards of this ordinance; however, the City may require any residential street built adjacent to a park to be constructed to collector width to ensure access and prevent traffic congestion. The developer may request oversize participation in such an instance. Comments: Staff Recommendations: Acceptance of additional parkland of 6.03 acres including the detention area. This land would tie into the existing park of 7.74 acres. Total park acreage would be 13.77 acres.

Comments: (d) Sites should have existing trees or other scenic elements. Comments: (e) Detention/retention areas will not be accepted as part of the required dedication, but may be accepted in addition to the required dedication. If accepted as part of the park, the detention/retention area design must be approved by the City staff and must meet specific parks specifications. Comments: 10-F. 2 Parks should be easy to access and open to public view so as to benefit area development, enhance the visual character of the city, protect public safety, and minimize conflict with adjacent land uses. 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.

There are no parks within zone 14. Staff recommends that land dedication is needed to allow development of a future neighborhood park. It may be possible to determine a potential park location and accept additional dedications as future portions of the tract develops. Section 10-G: Approval: Parks and Recreation Advisory At the April 20, 2004 regular meeting, the Board accepted the fee in lieu Board: of the land dedication, with the stipulation that the developer work with staff to determine if it is feasible to establish a park in future phases.

Coach Weldon has been instrumental in creating and establishing the Road Runner program utilized by the students at Rock Prairie. This is a wonderful opportunity to recognize her hard work and her visionary methods. She encourages the children to set and achieve physical goals that they normally would not do. The students have all had the joy of celebrating their accomplishments with Coach Weldon. On behalf of the PTO, would you please consider our request? Thank you. Sincerely, i Rhonda Raphael The City of AR� ai College Station, Texas Embracing the Past, Exploring the Future. P.O.

As I mentioned in my letter of February 17, 2004, the City Council will soon consider a new policy for naming city facilities. Until this policy is adopted, the board will hold off making any decisions to recommend names to Council. Until then, it will help to review the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board's current policy for naming park facilities. Specifically item #1, calling for a petition of registered voters. The completion of this petition will speed consideration by the board when Council adopts their new guidelines. Item #2 concerns persons who are deceased, but this is not a requirement. I have included a copy of the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board Policy for your review. Thank you for your interest. If you have any further questions, I can be reached at (979) 764-3415.

Guinasso 713 Willow Loop College Station, TX 77845 Dear Mrs. Guinasso: Thank you very much for your recent letter regarding Parkway Park. I appreciate your interest and concerns about this park and particularly the removal of the wooden posts. I asked the maintenance crew to remove the posts in an effort to improve the appearance of the park. As you know, the streets along the park do not have curb and gutters. The posts were effective along the west side; however, they were not a very attractive solution. The posts with the water faucets were not removed and will remain in place. We will continue to supply water and hoses for the residents to care for the trees and plants. We greatly appreciate this volunteer support. In addition, I have spoken with Ms. Sarah Bednardz, President of the Homeowners Association, and agreed to meet with residents to discuss a more appropriate method to secure the edge of the park from vehicles. Also, I would like to discuss other needs for the park that may be identified at that time. Again, thank you very much for your interest and concern. I look forward to meeting with you in the near future. Sincerely, Steve Beachy Director College Station Parks & Recreation Copies: Tom Brymer, City Manager Glenn Brown, Assistant City Manager Curtis Bingham, Parks Operations Superintendent Home of Texas A&M University Home of the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum 713 Willow Loop College Station, TX 77945 March 7, 2004 Mayor Ron Silva City of College Station Dear Mayor Silva: Reference: Parkway Park Recently post barriers were cut down along the side of Parkway Park, U MAR 8 2004 G" MAIi11GE" O"4"M Ctil(OF OOt�f�iE aTAI'if1N The barriers served as a safety precaution for the trees and plantings, picnic bench, the playground equipment, and the barbeque grill at the end of 1100 block ofMarsteller. The barrier posts lined the park from Marsteller to Munson and kept vehicles from driving across the park. There is neighborhood pride in the park. The city and the neighborhood association joined to donate trees and shrubs and arranged to plant them to enhance the beauty of this little green space. Neighbors gathered to help plant the trees and shrubs. The neighbors came for a picnic to dedicate the one tree called the "Children's Tree". Committees were formed to water the plantings from the water faucet connections the city installed. These water faucets were installed on the posts that the city recently removed. We wonder what has become of water connections that sustained the trees and shrubs through the hot summers. In the past, vehicles drove through the park. Recently 1 called the police when two youths drove two pickup trucks up and down the parles embankments. The park will erode as vehicles travel alongside or through the park, making inroads that shrink the green space. Trees will be lost but more importantly the safety of the children that play in the park will be compromised. And perhaps the trees that the city and citizens together planted will be lost to further vehicular traffic through the park. One of the barriers at the end of Marsteller was installed as a result of a serious injury accident that occurred when a car traveling south down Marsteller ran into the light pole at the end of the street. It is important for the city to keep track of why barriers have been installed in the past. Please replace the removed barrier posts. Sincerely, Linda L.

Micah Mogel is head of the Amtgard group. The group consists of about 40 people and meets every Sunday afternoon. They have been using the Arboretum for this activity for over 15 years. I told them that the restoration of the Arboretum was a goal of the College Station Parks and Recreation Board and that there were some concerns about the effect their activities may have on the Arboretum. I spoke to them about the following concerns: - Possible damage to vegetation. - Litter in the park. - Possible damage to other structures. - Conflicts with other Arboretum users. - Non -official trails. Micah said some weeds and grass may get stepped on, but they are careful not to cause any significant damage to vegetation or any damage to structures. He said they make sure everyone in the group is aware of cleaning up the grounds immediately after the event. Don reinforced Micah's comments. They make sure that everyone stays on the main trails. During the meeting they pointed out some of the designated trails that have become overgrown. Micah said they avoid areas where other park users are present. I feel satisfied that they make an effort to keep the Arboretum in good shape with each weekly event and that any efforts that may have been slack will be improved on. Micah and Don offered the group's assistance with anything they could do to help out the Arboretum. I told them there may some opportunities in the future and I would let them know. Micah said to check their local website "www.mordengaard.org" for any information about Amtgard.

Obiectives • Ensure that parks, facilities, recreational areas, and municipal buildings are easily identified and located. • Ensure that given names to parks, facilities, recreational areas, and municipal buildings are consistent with the values and character of the area or neighborhood served. • Encourage public participation in the naming, renaming, and dedication of parks, facilities, recreational areas, and municipal buildings. • Encourage the dedication of lands, facilities, or donations by individuals and/or groups; • Advance the reputation of the City as well as increase the understanding and public support for its programs. Criteria The practice of the City of College Station is to name parks, recreation areas, facilities, and municipal buildings through an adopted process utilizing the above objectives emphasizing community values and character, local and national history, geography, the environment, civics and service to the City of College Station. Therefore, the following criteria shall be used in determining the appropriateness of the naming designation: • Neighborhood, geographic, or common usage identification; • A historical figure, place, event, or other instance of historical or cultural significance; • National and state historical leaders or heroes, both past and present; • An individual (living or deceased) (a) who has made a significant land and/or monetary contribution to the park, recreation area, facility, or municipal building or (b) who has had the contribution made "In Memoriam" and when the name has been stipulated as a condition of the donation; or • An individual (living or deceased) who has contributed outstanding civic service to the City; • Predominant plant materials; • Streams, rivers, lakes, and creeks. Facilities or specialized areas may have a name different from that of the larger park, recreation area, facility, or municipal building. When feasible, the process to name parks, recreation areas, facilities, and municipal buildings should begin within 12 months after the City has acquired title to the land and/or formally accepted the dedication. Names that are similar to existing parks, recreation areas, facilities, and municipal buildings should not be considered in order to minimize confusion. Renamina The City reserves the right to change the name of a park, recreation area, facility or municipal building to maintain consistency with these guidelines. However, renaming carries with it a much 1 REVISED GUIDELINES FOR THE NAMING OF PUBLIC FACILITIES.doc 03/31 /04 greater burden of process compared to initial naming. Tradition and continuity of name and community identification are important community values. Each request to rename must meet the criteria of this policy, but meeting all criteria does not ensure renaming. Procedures Upon approval of these guidelines by Council, procedures consistent with the guidelines will be developed. It is anticipated that naming/renaming requests will be submitted to the City Manager. The Manager will then forward the request through an appropriate board, committee, or organization or directly to the City Council for approval. (For example, if the naming or renaming request is for a parks facility, the City Manger will submit the request to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board who will review and make a recommendation. The City Manager will review that recommendation and then submit it to Council for approval.) The City Council may, upon its own initiative name or rename a City facility without following these guidelines. An individual council member may submit a naming suggestion to the City Manager who will then apply the guidelines and procedures. 2 REVISED GUIDELINES FOR THE NAMING OF PUBLIC FACILITIES.doc 03/31 /04 City of College Station Neighborhood Park Improvement Proposal April 2004 PURPOSE: This proposal is intended to offer a response to direction giving to Staff at the February 26, 2004 City Council Workshop (Agenda $4) in regard to the improvement of Eastgate Park and Steeplechase Park. At that meeting, the Mayor directed Staff to develop a plan along with funding options to provide improvements to these two sites. In addition, two other neighborhood parks are worthy of consideration for improvements due to their proximity to existing residents and the lack of any park facilities within 1 /2 mile walking distance. Woodland Hills Park is located in a new subdivision north of Greens Prairie Road. Residents in this neighborhood have requested improvements to the existing vacant park land. However, there is only $33,000 in Parkland Dedication Funds in the Zone 9 account. It is unlikely that any significant additional funds will be generated in this area due to the current land use plan which includes the new business park. Therefore, additional funding is required to develop a typical neighborhood park for the residents. PROPOSAL: This proposal is intended to provide supplemental funding for development of these four parks. Partial funding is available from existing resources for Eastgate, Steeplechase and Woodland Hills Parks. The University Park site is in an area that is eligible for Community Development Block Grant Funding. Development of a typical neighborhood park in College Station is estimated to cost approximately $315,000. This proposal uses that number as a starting point and adjusts the amount based upon each specific site and probable improvements. Also, any currently available funding is factored in to determine the additional estimated costs. SCHEDULE: YEAR PARK SITE ACRES PARK ZONE EST.

All of these sites are currently owned by the City and are in close proximity to existing residents. Also, without additional funding approval, these sites will not be developed in any significant manner for the foreseeable future. Annual operation and maintenance costs will increase as the parks are developed. These costs will be dependent upon the type of improvements for each site and will have to be included in the annual budget requests as they become operational. City of College Station Soccer Field Lighting Proposal April, 2004 PURPOSE: This proposal is intended to offer a response to direction giving to Staff at the February 26, 2004 City Council Workshop (Agenda Item # 4) regarding equity issues related to lighted athletic facilities. At that meeting, the Mayor directed Staff to develop a plan along with funding options to light more soccer fields at the rate of two potentially per year. PROPOSAL: This proposal is based upon the approach of providing high quality sports lights for existing soccer fields in the most economical way possible over a five year period. To accomplish this, we propose to provide lights for four existing fields at Veterans Park and Athletic Complex over the next two Fiscal Years. In addition, we propose the addition of lighting for the next three fields to be constructed as part of the Phase II project in FY 2006 and FY 2007. All of these fields are 120 yards X 80 yards and can be divided into two smaller fields if needed. Following completion of that project, the next fields that are appropriate for lights are those at Central Park. These include one field that is 120 yards X 80 yards; and two fields that are 100 yards X 70 yards. SCHEDULE: YEAR LOCATION SIZE OUANTITY EST.

Of these, 12 are full size fields that can be divided into two smaller youth fields on an "as needed" basis.
