HEAR VISITORS No unscheduled visitors present. IV. DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF PARKLAND DEDICATION IN ZONE 4 (BERT HERMAN) Steve displayed a map depicting a better layout of the location Mr. Bert Herman was proposing for parkland dedication. Steve reminded the Board that the land is all open with no trees, is not in the flood plain, is adjacent to the City's electric switch station which uses microwave power, and is adjacent to a right-of-way called Switch Station Road. The land would have frontage on Appomattox Drive if it is extended under the construction of the proposed subdivision. Ron asked if there was a hearing to rezone the land in that area. Steve stated that he was not aware of any. Ms. Mary Eikenhorst mentioned that Mr. Herman does want the land adjacent to the frontage road, between Aldersgate Church and the Parks & Recreation Board Regular Meeting 12/13/94 Page 2 Raintree Subdivision, changed from residential to commercial. Ron asked if the Department would lose any of this land when the improvements, including widening, were finished on Switch Station Road. Steve stated that improvements are included in the Transportation Plan, but does not think those improvements would affect that land. Ron still has reservations constructing a playground next to the switch station. The Board concurred with Ron. Greg asked if the document Steve had was a submitted preliminary plat. Steve said he wasn't sure if it had already been submitted to the City Planning Department, but did not think so. Greg motioned to reject the proposed site. Carol seconded and the motion passed. V. DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN FOR SANDSTONE PARK Steve displayed a proposed site plan for Sandstone Park. He stated that with the Board's approval, including any changes to the site plan, the plan would be submitted to City Council at their January meeting for approval and authorization to begin construction of the park. Peter proceeded to explain the proposed site plan. He stated that the proposed plan includes twice as many parking spaces. He mentioned that parking will not be allowed on Sandstone Street when construction is complete. The parking lot includes a drive through area for easy drop off. Four to six foot high earth berms, along with trees, will help to screen off the parking lot. In front of the parking lot will be a sidewalk which leads to a shade structure approximately 20 foot in diameter. This will help provide some shade during the hot months and also provide cover during unexpected rainstorms. The playground will be typical of most parks with multi-climbers, and may include a separate area for tots. It will also be handicap accessible with a rubberized cushion surface. A basketball court is included in the site plan. lighting will only be utilized for the parking lot and playground area. The jogging trail will loop around the park making a 1/3 mile track. An exercise station with approximately five units, for sit-ups, pull-ups, etc., will be included on the jogging trail. The balifields have been relocated for a north/south orientation for less sun in the players' eyes. Peter mentioned that some regrading would be done at the site, especially on the fields for better drainage. He mentioned that approximately 100-120 thirty-gallon trees would be placed in the park. Mr. Dave Youngblood stated that the Department must consider this a "regional" park as opposed to a "neighborhood" park. He asked who they thought in the neighborhood would be "dropping off" their children as opposed to letting them walk. Steve mentioned that residents from Sandstone, Emerald Forest, and Foxfire would be utilizing the park. Mr. Youngblood was concerned that traffic -I-here_ would increase because of the practice ballfields located e Steve stated that the fields are not being increased from what was currently there. He said the park is similar to Brother's Pond Park (1.0 acres) and Gabbard Park (16 acres), both of which have practice ballfields and both are designated as "neighborhood" parks. Ron mentioned that no one is going to be able to isolate this park from other citizens. Mr. Youngblood stated that he realized that the park is rather large Parks & Recreation Board Regular Meeting 12/13/94 Page 3 because of its 15 acres, but doesn't believe this plan is typical of a neighborhood park. Steve stated that this park is typical of several other parks with practice fields, and mentioned that there is no other parks east of the bypass that residents can use for practice fields. He said the reason for the parking lot is that, unlike other parks, parking will not be allowed on the adjacent street. Ms. Eikenhorst would like to see more trees located in the park, especially near the houses. Ron mentioned that the Department does a wonderful job utilizing tree grant money for enhancement of the parks and that more trees can always be added. Carol asked why the Department doesn't use smaller trees. Steve mentioned that bigger trees have a better chance of survival, not only because of irrigation, but also from kids swinging on the limbs, which break easily with smaller trees. Greg mentioned that bigger trees will also help with immediate screening of the park from adjacent homes. Ms. Marina Britz would like to see a berm constructed adjacent to her property to help block some of the sight and sound from park users. Steve mentioned that before construction begins, the Department will work in conjunction with the City's Engineering Department to comply with current City drainage requirements and ordinances. Peter mentioned that the City Engineer assured him that the parking lot could drain towards Sandstone Street because there will be a storm drain system there. Mrs. Britz mentioned that even with all the dirt placed on Sandstone Street, there is still drainage to the east. Mr. Youngblood asked if construction would begin after the completion of Sandstone Street. Peter stated that it should begin in late spring or early summer, about two months prior to the completion of the street. It should take approximately three months to complete the construction of the park. A 04 ,pi, 4F ( Greg ike--to see il•re earth berms placed on the northeast boundary for sound bathers, along with plantings and trees. Greg motioned to approve the site plan with the aforementioned changes. Bob seconded, the motion passed. VI. DISCUSSION OF BOARD ISSUES FOR 1995 The Board reviewed the issues produced at a previous meeting. Bob would like to see a conceptual drawing for the large athletic park produced. After several minor changes to the issues, Carol motioned to accept the proposed issues as Board Goals for 1995, as amended. Bob seconded, the motion passed. VII. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM REPORT Eric informed the Board that the Lincoln Center/Wayne Smith improvements were almost complete. The bridges and lights were already in place. He said it has really made a big difference and encouraged the Board to go see the area. He was afraid that vandalism was going to be a problem, but so far none has occurred. Parks & Recreation Board Regular Meeting 12/13/94 Page 4 Eric stated that construction on the Oaks and Thomas Park improvements had already begun. Carol asked about frisbee golf at Oaks. Steve stated that Peter had received some information on it, and stated it costs approximately $7,000 to construct. Peter is still searching for other companies that make this item. The construction of the Wolf Pen Creek Rest Room building is going well except for the block for the building. The manufacturer of the block, that matches the existing buildings, will not be available until February. Also, the EPA will not allow the company to sandblast their blocks anymore, so the block may have a different texture. Eric stated that the Central Park Pond Renovation is complete and went extremely well. The water is pumped from the big pond into the small pond by way of a water fountain. The overflow water then runs down the spillway into the large pond. This process helps to keep the water circulated. Carol asked about the dredging of Wolf Pen Creek. Eric stated that the Engineering Department is working on the specifications and it should go out to bid in January. The project should take approximately three to four weeks to complete. VIII. BRIEFING ON THE my's COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Eric handed out a letter from Jane Kee, City Planner, indicating what has taken place on the plan so far. Eric also passed out HOK's survey that was in the paper. She stated that approximately 200 responses were received and forwarded on to HOK for analysis. Results were not yet available. IX. UPDATE ON THE CIP COMMITTEE'S PROGRESS Steve informed the Board that the CIP Committee recommended the following to Council: $1,000,000 for additional park land; $1,250,000 for little league fields at Lincoln Center; $100,000 for the Central Park concession stand upgrade; and $100,000 to upgrade the Bee Creek softball fields. He stated that no money was recommended for the improvement of neighborhood parks. X. APPROPRIATE BOARD ACTIVITIES REGARDING THE BOND ELECTION Steve mentioned that City staff are not allowed to promote the bond issue in any way, except for voting. However, Board members, as well as any of the athletic organizations, can do any type of promotion for the bond issues. He stated that they can even promote bond issues at registration time. Steve reminded the Board that if these issues are to pass, support from the community will have to be there at voting time. Ron would like to discuss appropriate activities and an action plan for Board members at the next meeting. After some discussion regarding the $500,000 that was cut from the park land acquisition issue and the funds cut from the parks improvements issue, the Board Parks & Recreation Board Regular Meeting 12/13/94 Page 5 decided to make phone calls to the Mayor and City Council to encourage them to consider putting back in the original funds that were asked for. The Board discussed the fact that if the land cost 1.5 million, I million wouldn't do the Department any good. Having to purchase less land would not be sufficient for the athletic field that is being proposed. Steve mentioned that the Council will be meeting in January and would be discussing the CIP Committee's Proposal, but did not know the exact date. The Board asked if they would be able to voice their opinions at that Council meeting. Steve believed they would be able to. XI. OTHER BUSINESS/BOARD CONCERNS Steve mentioned that a Fees Subcommittee needed to be formed to approve the Department's user fees for 1995. Bob and Ron offered to serve. They also suggested Penny being on the subcommittee. Bridgette agreed to call Penny to inform her about the subcommittee and set up a meeting. Greg inquired about the Lincoln Center Advisory Committee and asked if someone needed to be appointed. Bridgette stated yes and said that the alternate Blossie Payton has not attended any meetings and need to be replaced. Also, Chairmen- 4,e1A-0)74-- and--Vire—ehairmen need to be appointed to the Lincoln Center and Conference Center Advisory Committees. The Board asked that this matter be placed on the ) next meeting's agenda. XII.

Hamilton Endangered Species Office U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 611 E. 6th St., rm. 407 Austin, TX 78701 Dear Mr. Hamilton: I have been monitoring demographic changes in a local Spiranthes parksii population since 1986. This population, located along 'Sundew Creek' at College Station's Lick Creek Park, has played an important part in our work with this endangered species since listing, as indicated in my revision of the recovery plan. Research with this population has involved annual tracking of inflorescence (fall) and rosette (spring)production among several hundred plants. These are located each year by coordinates associated with over 150 plastic tent stakes that have been placed along this temporary stream over the years. My visit to the site this year revealed that the Sundew Creek drainage now supports a well traveled mountain bike trail. This traverses the stream bed at several points. Disturbance caused by traffic on this trail has eliminated a significant number of my 'marker' stakes and, given extensive erosion along similar, older bike trails in the park, this extirpation of my stakes - and the plants they identify - will increase with time. My first impulse upon discovering'this situation is to alert those responsible for protection of endangered plant species in Texas. However, I have, over the years, generated many memos and letters regarding feeble municipal stewardship of Lick Creek Park, especially with regard to mountain bike impacts. These efforts - obviously - have produced no result. Given this lack of response from your office, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and the City of College Station, I must conclude that my concern for the survival of this species is not shared by those charged with this fundamental responsibility. Consequently, I feel that my work has become part of a scam, perpetrated by responsible local, state, and federal agencies, of environmental concern. I therefore withdraw from any current and future professional effort to pursue endangered species research in Texas. Given unmitigated impacts on this species over the years, including 'bonfire' clear-cutting promoted by a state agency with impunity, it is evident to me that continued work with this species is an exercise in futility and, as a result, a clear waste of my time.

There are alreay two nice parks within minutes of Sandstone Park. The Woodcreek and Emerald Forest park have basketball courts, play areas, and vollyball courts. These parks are never very crowded and the vollyball court is rarely used. There is always a shortage of soccer and baseball fields for teams to pratice on. I know this because my soccer team had to fight to just get half of a field! This happens every soccer season. During baseball season my mom and I have to get to the fields an hour early to claim a field for our team. I feel more sports fields would be beneficial to the children of College Station. At team practices the children are supervised by coaches. The kids get exercise, learning skills and cooperating with team mates. Most of the time the basketball courts are unsupervised. Kids can easily be exposed to drugs and gangs. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I hope you will strongly consider making Sandstone Park into a soccer and baseball complex. I think the Children of College Station would be very grateful. Sin erely, ' Chase Sanford December 21, 1994 Mayor Larry Ringer .city of College Station . PO Box 9960 College Station, Texas 77842 Dear Mayor Ringer: I would like to formally resign my position on the College Station Parks and Recreation Board. Unfortunately, scheduling conflicts between Board meetings and my travel schedule at work have prevented my full participation. I hope the committee will be better served by a member that is able to attend all of the meetings. Thank you for the opportunity to serve the community.

The sponsors were Bryan and College Station Parks and Recreation Departments, Brazos Beautiful, Brazos County 4H Equestrian Club, and the Texas Forest Service. The goal of this program is to save landfill space by diverting the trees to other uses. The College Station material was utilized as mulch in the Central Park picnic area and back trails. The Bryan trees were taken to the compost facility for use in that operation. Both Bryan and College Station took in 1,600 trees at their respective sites. This is a slight increase over last year's totals. To gauge how effective the program was, both cities' Sanitation divisions kept a rough count of the number of trees picked up curbside between Christmas and January 7. Bryan reported 300 trees and College Station 250. This indicates the great success of this project. Individuals who dropped off trees on the 7th and 8th received a free oak seedling and planting instructions. In addition at the College Station site, overall recycling information from Katie Gibson, College Station Recycling Coordinator, was handed out. cc: Mary Tucker, City Manager's Report Bridgette George, PARD Committee,/ Gracie Calbert, Citizen's Newsletter and/or Employee Newsletter We provide good things in life!
