Jeannie M. seconded and the vote was called. The motion carried unanimously and the minutes were approved. 6. Discussion. consideration, and Dossible action reaardina Park Land Dedication reauests for Williams Creek Subdivision (Park Zone 14). Ric P. stated that this was a request for 110 single family units. Williams Creek had been seen twice by the Board - in April 2004 and again in May 2005 - and both times the Board had accepted a cash dedication in lieu of land. The development was near Lick Creek Park, at the southeast corner of the East Rock Prairie Road and Greens Prairie Road intersection. Joe Schultz, the engineer for the project, was there representing the owner. He could also answer any questions the Board may have. The building is wheelchair accessible. Handicap parking spaces are available. Any request for sign interpretive services must be made 48 hours before the meeting. To make arrangements call (979) 764-3517 or (TDD) 1-800-735-2989. For those new to the Board, Ric briefly described the purpose of the Park Land Dedication Ordinance. For this dedication, the Board had the choice of taking cash, land, or a combination of both. The owners had proposed a dedication of a 1.25-acre lot and some part of one of the detention facilities. Depending on how much of the detention area the board accepted, there could be anywhere between a one- and three -acre park. The detention area had a flat bottom, approximately 240' x 120', which could be used for soccer practice. The property had good street access. The residents in that area would not necessarily need open space (due to the size of the lots), but they would want a playground and a basketball court, and this was the way it could be provided. The city would be responsible for maintaining the accepted portion of the detention if it was accepted. Staff was recommending that the Board make a site visit before the next meeting in order to make a determination. Glenn S. made a motion that the Board look at the property before the next meeting. Gary T. seconded. Hearing no further discussion, the vote was called. All in were in favor of a site visit to look at the proposed dedication, and the motion carried unanimously. A site visit would be arranged. 7. Report, discussion and possible action reaardina Interoretation Plan for Lick Creek Park N Michelle Bvnum, Intern. Steve B. introduced Michelle Bynum, a senior at A&M from the Recreation, Park and Tourism Sciences Department. He explained that Michelle was doing an internship project for Parks - developing an environmental interpretive plan for Lick Creek Park. Michelle gave a brief presentation (see attached) describing her research. She had gone out to the park and familiarized herself with the trails. She had also conducted interviews with experts on the topical aspects and had done some internet research. Once she'd gathered her information, she'd written the narratives that would go on the signs describing the history of the park, the plants, animals, and birds. Her presentation included two examples of signs she had created. Michelle had also been in charge of choosing the locations for the signs, as well as the best type of sign to use. She described the three sign types she'd chosen and explained how she had decided on the location and placement of the signs. A total of thirty-three signs would be interspersed throughout the park. Numbered stakes had gone into the ground with a corresponding map showing the number and location of where the signs would be placed. No sign color had been decided. The signs chosen were expensive, but Michelle suggested having signs in color for a few specific items and using black and white signs for the remainder. A detailed work -up of the signs would have to be sent to Pannier Graphics (the company who does the signs) in order to get a cost estimate. The members felt that this would be a wonderful asset to the park and that Michelle had done a great job. Steve B. stated that once Michelle had finished her report, estimates would be sought. Glenn S. made a motion in support of the signage for Lick Creek Park and to proceed as soon as possible to get the signs installed. Gary E. seconded. After a brief discussion regarding sign details, the vote was called. All were in favor, and the motion carried unanimously. S. Report, discussion and possible action reaardina potential chances to the Park Land Dedication Ordinance. Steve stated that a couple of recommendations had been made at the last meeting. Those recommendations had been incorporated into the document and reviewed by Legal, Development Services staff, and Parks staff. Steve had wanted to have a final discussion before the joint meeting with Planning and Zoning on August 18th, when the ordinance could potentially be approved. The revisions did not change the fee requirements or the number of dwelling units but they did define how a developer could develop the park and how smaller dedications could be approved at the administrative level to keep them from going to the Board. Steve stated that while the ordinance did not provide formal wording to state that the smaller dedications would be reported to the Board, the information would become a part of the reports that the Board received monthly. A dedication such as the one presented earlier in the evening (agenda item #6) would have to go before the Board for review. After brief discussion, Steve asked that any motion be held until the joint meeting. 9. Report, discussion, and possible action reciardina Senior Advisory Committee member recommendations ,.► Marci Rodaers. Marci Rodgers, Senior Services Coordinator was there on behalf of the Senior Services Committee to recommend five people (Robert Meyer, Edgar Jones, Doreen Todd, Joyce Davis, and Rick Heaney) to be appointed to the Committee. She was also asking that the Board to appoint Robert Meyer as Chairman and Neal Nutall as Vice Chairman. Marci said that she had met with all five and they had agreed to serve. This would give the Committee a total of fifteen members with five rotating off every year. Gary E. moved to accept the names as submitted. Jeannie M. seconded. The motion was amended to accept the names as submitted with the recommendations for Chairman and Vice Chairman. Jeannie seconded the amended motion. There being no further questions, the vote was called. All were in favor, and the motion passed unanimously. Marci told the Board that the presentation to update the City Council on the senior center had gone well, with Council responding very favorably. She said the next step was for the Senior Advisory Committee to meet with other senior groups to find what they would like in a center. Those results would come back to the Board and then to Council. Jodi stated that the Board members would be happy to help with the public hearing process if needed. 10. Report, discussion, and possible action reaardinci Third Ouarter Park Maintenance Standards ,.► Curtis Sinaham. This report had been included in the member's packets. Curtis said that Parks Operations had broken the 89% barrier of the last two quarters, with 91% of the maintenance standards met. He briefly went over a few items: • 8.5 basketball courts had recently been resurfaced - there may be improvement in this category in the next quarter. • Repairs had been made to the sand volleyball courts. • Gabbard Pond had been treated to get rid of weeds. Major fishing pier/deck repairs need to be done. • Parks Operations is certifying staff to put dye in the park ponds. • Repairs had been done to signs, benches, and water fountains, and trash receptacles had been painted. Curtis stated that the goal was to reach and remain at 90% in 2006. Gary E. commented that Parks Operations did an excellent job as always. Harry G. asked if there was a schedule for repairs. Steve stated that there was a schedule for bigger items such as playgrounds, but not for smaller items like trash receptacles. This was an information item only and no action was required. 11. Reoort, discussion, and possible action reaardina or000sed FY2006 Parks and Recreation Deoartment User Fees,. Steve B. stated that this was the first report regarding the fees for FY2006. An updated fees schedule (attached) had been distributed with new fees or suggested fee changes highlighted in yellow. Staff was not asking for any action at this time, just wanting to keep the Board informed. The Fees Subcommittee (Gary Erwin, Carol Blaschke, Glenn Schroeder, and Kathy Ireland) had met twice. Some of the changes were briefly discussed: • Transfer/cancellation fee - In order to help recover the administrative cost of the process, this fee was being added throughout all the services. • Redevelopment fee increase - The athletic field improvement and replacement fund had started at $5 per child or $75 per adult team to do improvements on the facilities those people were using. The fees are not used for maintenance. When it was set up it was agreed that the amount would be looked at after a period of time in order to try and build up the fund. Going from $5 to $10 was an attempt to move in that direction. The adult field improvement fund was not changing. • Pavilions - There was a small increase proposed in some of the fees so that the costs for similar pavilions were the same. The fees for Crompton Park pavilion had also been added. • The fees for the Conference Center were changed in order to simplify them. • There were some pool fees that had changed. • Wording regarding Xtra Education and Wolf Pen Creek amphitheater had been added. • Athletic field fees - A flat daily rental rate would be charged, with no more weekend rates. Any rental over ten hours will be charged the daily rate of $100 per field, per rental. Hourly rentals fees will go to $10 per hour and the fee for lights would go to $10 per hour also. A game field prep fee, per field is being added. Steve briefly went through the process for fee changes. New fees will go into effect on January 1st. Staff would come back to the Board in September for approval and hopefully to City Council in November. 12. Review, discussion, and oossible action concerning Board and Deoartmental Goals and Obiectives, and City Council Strategic Plan. • The Program and Facility Needs Assessment final surveys were being collected from city staff through Friday, August 12, 2005. The report could come back to the Board in October or November. • The dedication for Crompton Park should be sometime this fall. • BVSWMA did approve a second round of funding for 2006 for the Grimes County Regional Park. A meeting was tentatively set for August 31st with Chet Edwards to see if it would be possible to seek federal assistance for the project. The appraisals will be presented to TMPA board in Denton on September 8t". The Board will try to do a fall site tour. 13. Report, discussion, and possible action concerning the Capital Improvement Proaram. The Capital Improvement Project List and the Park Land Dedication Project List had been included in the Board packets. Ric stated that there had not been a lot of changes since the last meeting. He had slides of the Jack & Dorothy Miller basketball court, the Crompton Park development, and renderings of the pavilion and concession buildings for Veterans Park, Phase II. A few • Once the Park Land Dedication Ordinance revisions were complete, approval from Council would follow soon after - most likely within a month. • Edelweiss Gartens Park would most likely be developed by the developer. • On the Park Land Dedication List, Park Zone 1 fees should be more. The list would be updated and sent to the board. Hearing no further questions this item was closed. 14. Discussion of next meetina dates and uossible aaenda items. • The next Regular Meeting N September 13, 2005. A report will be given about the landfill park project. • October Regular Meeting N October 11, 2005.

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 park site is located within 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 proposed site is fairly flat without any severe slopes. (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. Street and greenway connections to existing or future adjoining subdivisions may be required to provide reasonable access to parks. 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: Over 50% of the site abuts a street (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.

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS: PART 1: That Chapter 9, "Subdivisions", of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, be amended as set out in Exhibit "A", attached hereto and made a part of this ordinance for all purposes. PART 2: That if any provisions of any section of this ordinance shall be held to be void or unconstitutional, such holding shall in no way effect the validity of the remaining provisions or sections of this ordinance, which shall remain in full force and effect.

EXHIBIT "A" That Chapter 9, "Subdivisions", of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, is hereby amended as follows: 1. By amending SECTION 10: "Requirements for Park Land Dedication" by deleting the entire section and substituting the following: 8.5 Requirements For Parkland Dedication A. Purpose This section is adopted to provide recreational areas in the form of neighborhood park facilities as a function of subdivision and site development in the City of College Station. This section is enacted in accordance with the home rule powers of the City of College Station, granted under the Texas Constitution, and the statutes of the State of Texas, including, but not by way of limitation, Texas Local Government Code Chapter 212 (Vernon 1999; Vernon Supp. 2004-2005) as amended from time to time. 01g rou p/legal (0 rd i na nc eta men d m en t fo r m. doc ORDINANCE NO. Page 2 It is hereby declared by the City Council that recreational areas in the form of neighborhood parks are necessary and in the public welfare, and that the only adequate procedure to provide for neighborhood parks is by integrating such a requirement into the procedure for planning and developing property or subdivisions in the city, whether such development consists of new construction on vacant land or rebuilding and remodeling of structures on existing residential property. Neighborhood parks are those parks providing for a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities and located within convenient distances from a majority of the residences to be served thereby. The park zones established by the Parks and Recreation Department and shown on the official Parks and Recreation map for the City of College Station shall be prima facie proof that any park located therein is within such a convenient distance from any residence located therein. The primary cost of neighborhood parks should be borne by the ultimate residential property owners who, by reason of the proximity of their property to such parks, shall be the primary beneficiaries of such facilities. Therefore, the following requirements are adopted to effect the purposes stated above and shall apply to any land to be used for residential purposes: B. General Requirements The City Manager or his designee shall administer this Section 10, Requirements for Parkland Dedication with certain review, recommendation and approval authorities being assigned to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board as specified herein. Dedications shall cover both land acquisition and development costs for neighborhood parkland for all types of residential development. Dedications shall be based on actual dwelling units for the entire development. Increases or decreases in final unit count prior to final plat will require an adjustment in fees paid or land dedicated. If the actual number of dwelling units exceeds the original estimate additional parkland shall be dedicated in accordance with the requirements in this Section 10 with the filing of a final plat. The methodology used to calculate fees and land dedications is attached hereto as Appendix 1 and incorporated and made a part of this ordinance for all purposes. Fees paid under this Section may be used only for development or acquisition of a neighborhood park located within the same Zone as the development. ,! Deleted: m i 1.

For duplex and other multi -family development this area shall be equal to one (1) acre for each one hundred twenty-five (125) dwelling units. The total amount of land dedicated for the development shall be dedicated in fee simple by plat: a. Prior to the issuance of any building permits for multi -family development, b. Concurrently with the final plat for a single phase development, c. For a phased development the entire park shall be either platted concurrently with the plat of the first phase of the development or d.

Reimbursement for City Acquired Parkland The City may from time to time acquire land for parks in or near an area of actual or potential development. If the City does acquire park land in a park zone, the City may require subsequent parkland dedications for that zone to be in Fee -in Lieu -of -Land only. This will be to reimburse the City for the cost(s) of acquisition. Once the City has been reimbursed entirely for all such parkland within a park zone, this Section shall cease to apply, and the other Sections of Section 8.5 shall again be applicable. C. Prior Dedication or Absence of Prior Dedication If a dedication requirement arose prior to enactment of this Section 10, that dedication requirement shall be controlled by the ordinance in effect at the time such obligation arose, except that additional dedication shall be required if the actual density of structures constructed upon property is greater than the former assumed density. Additional dedication shall be required only for the increase in density and shall be based upon the ratio set forth in Section 10.B.

Page 7 The Recreation, Park and Open Space Master Plan is intended to provide the College Station Parks and Recreation Advisory Board with a guide upon which to base its recommendations. Because of the need to consider specific characteristics in the site selection process, the park locations indicated on the Plan are general. The actual locations, sizes, and number of parks will be determined when development occurs. The Plan will also be used to locate desirable park sites before development occurs, and those sites may be acquired by the City or received as donations. Park Zones are established by the City's Comprehensive Plan, in the Park and Open Space element and are configured to indicate service areas for neighborhood parks. Zone boundaries are established that follow key topographic features such as major thoroughfares, streams, and city limit lines. E. Special Fund; Right to Refund 1. All parkland fees will be deposited in a fund referenced to the park zone involved. Funds deposited into a particular park zone fund may only be expended for land or improvements in that zone. 2. The City shall account for all fees -in -lieu -of land paid under this Section with reference to the individual plat(s) involved. Any fees paid for such purposes must be expended by the City within five (5) years from the date received by the City for acquisition and/or development of a neighborhood park as defined herein. Such funds shall be considered to be spent on a first -in, first -out basis. If not so expended, the landowners of the property on the expiration of such period shall be entitled to a prorated refund of such sum, computed on a square footage of area basis. The owners of such property must request such refund within one (1) year of entitlement, in writing, or such right shall be barred. F. Parkland Guidelines and Requirements 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 and requirements shall be used in designing parks and adjacent development. 1. Any land dedicated to the city under this section must be suitable for park and recreation uses. The dedication shall be free and clear of any and all liens and encumbrances that interfere with its use for park purposes. The City Manager or his designee shall determine whether any encumbrances interfere with park use. Minerals may be reserved from the conveyance provided that there is a complete - - - - - - �Deleted: m waiver of the surface use by all mineral owners and lessees.

Page 8 taxes or assessments owed on the property up to the date of acceptance of the dedication by the City. A tax certificate from the Brazos County Tax Assessor shall be submitted with the dedication or plat. 2. 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. Sites should not be severely sloping or have unusual topography which would render the land unusable for organized recreational activities. 3. Land in floodplains or designated greenways will be considered on a two for one basis. Two acres of floodplain or greenway will be equal to one acre of parkland 4. Where 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. S. Neighborhood park sites should be adjacent to residential areas in a manner that serves the greatest number of users and should be located so that users are not required to cross arterial roadways to access them. 6. Sites should have existing trees or other scenic elements. 7. 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 Manager or his designee and must meet specific parks specifications in the Manual of Neighborhood Park Improvements Standards. S. Where park sites are adjacent to Greenways, Schools existing or proposed subdivisions, access ways may be required to facilitate public access to provide public access to parks. 9. It is desirable that fifty percent (50%) of the perimeter of a park should abut a public street. G. Consideration and Approval Any proposal considered by the Planning and zoning Commission under this Section shall have been reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board or the City Manager or his designee as provided herein, and a recommendation given to the Commission. The Commission may make a decision contrary to the recommendation by a majority vote. ... culr dn(,'nme locals-1tcmrlrhai)Wr 0amendnu�n[parkland nng_ 405 _doK 814105 .... ... ..... ... ...... ......_.. ............................ . ,L Deleted: In Delet d uplagen-calljorlegal reviewlsubdivision regulationslchapter 9 j amendment parkland 7 22 05 doc ORDINANCE NO, Page 9 H.

College Station, TX 77840 Dear Steve, It has truly been a pleasure serving on the College Station Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for the past four years. My family and I have always enjoyed the excellent facilities and programs provided by the Parks Department and serving on the board was a terrific opportunity for me to learn how difficult it is to create and maintain such a great program. Over the last several years I've had the opportunity to get know and work with much of your staff, Please share with them my appreciation for the great job that they do each and every day. Thanks again for everything you and your entire staff do to make College Station a better place to live. Y r friend, am j Don Allison Vice President and Trust Officer P.O.
