Complex (bordering FM158). Eric stated that central to the development is
a potential park land dedication of 5.69 acres, with the possible addition of
another 2.15 acres of a park detention/retention area. (The total required
land dedication requirement for the development would be 4.8 acres.) At
this time, it has not been determined how much of the proposed
dedication is in the floodplain. Also, as part of the Park Land Dedication
Ordinance, it is desirable that a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the
perimeter of a park abut a public street. Eric said that approximately 25%
of the proposed 5.69 acres would border public right-of-ways. That
percentage would increase to approximately 50% with the addition of the
2.15 acres of detention/retention. Eric suggested that the Board take a
tour of the site with staff.
The Board discussed the following issues concerning the proposed
dedication:

Glenn S. made a motion to accept the fee in lieu of land for the Richards

All were in favor, and the motion passed unanimously.
7. Discussion, consideration, and possible action regarding a Board tour
of the Northgate area: A tour had been scheduled with the Board and
Economic Development Director, Kim Foutz, for Thursday, August 7t", for the
Board to visit potential park land in the Northgate area. However, due to a
scheduling conflict, that tour was canceled. The Board was in consensus on

rescheduling the tour for Tuesday, August 1 9th , at 4:00 p.m., the group
leaving from Saint Mary's Catholic Center.
The Board was also in consensus on touring the Villas of Harvey Subdivision
on this date as well.
8. Discussion, consideration, and possible action regarding Third Quarter
Park Maintenance Standards: Curtis Bingham gave an update to the Board
on the third quarter Park Maintenance Standards. He stated that overall, there
was not a lot of change from the second quarter, and the Department is
steadily making progress towards meeting its goal. He noted changes in the
following three (3) categories:
Athletic Facilities (Competitive Fields) - The percentage of standards met
decreased in this area because crews were not able to mow the grass due
to recent rains.
Tennis Courts - The percentage of standards met increased in this area
due to the resurfacing of the Bee Creek and Central Park tennis courts.
Basketball Courts - The percentage of standards met increased in this
area due to the resurfacing of the Oaks Park basketball court.
Curtis noted that there are some categories that do not have a lot of
standards listed, so if standards change within those categories, there will be
a definite fluctuation.
One problem category is the ponds. The problem occurs because some of
the standards within that category are set high, while the conditions that the
crews have to work with are often problematic (i.e. clarity of the ponds and
vegetation).
Curtis will present the Fourth Quarter Maintenance Standard report to the
Board in October 2003. During that presentation, he will give the Board a
detailed status report on where the Department is in relation to its goal of
meeting 90% of the stated standards within five (5) years.
After some discussion, Glenn S. made a motion to accept the Third Quarter
Park Maintenance Standard report. Glen Davis seconded the motion. All were
in favor, and the motion passed unanimously.
9. Discussion, consideration, and possible action regarding
recommendations for appointment of additional new members to the
Senior Advisory Committee: Peter Lamont stated that after appointments
were made to the Senior Advisory Committee during the July 8th Board
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
Regular Meeting

meeting, the Committee was still three (3) members short. More applications
were received, and the Senior Advisory Committee met on July 28 th and
recommended that Raymond Reed, Joe LeCour, and E.E. Burns be
appointed to serve three (3) year terms on the Committee. Peter said that
after that time, Mr. LeCour declined the nomination to serve on the
Committee.
Glen D. made a motion to appoint Raymond Reed and E.E. Burns to thM
Senior Advisory Committee. Don A. seconded the motion. All were in favo
and the motion passed unanimously. I
10.Report, discussion, and possible action concerning the Capital
Improvement Program. Eric updated ' the Board on the status of the current
Capital Improvement, proposed future bond election, and Park Land
Dedication projects.
�,.'.'urrent Capital Improvement Projects:
Bee Creek Light Pole Replacement - The Department is in the process of
bidding the project out now to get an early start on it, and to get the
equipment ordered and installed during the winter.
Hensel Park Playground Replacement - The project is ready to bid out so
the construction can begin once the funds are available in October 2003.
Lincoln Center Expansion/Improvements - An additional $350,000 fro
Community Development funds was allocated to the project to help buil
the covered basketball court that was included as part of the WA Tarro
Park Corridor Master Plan. 11
Proposed Future Bond Election Projects:
Veterans Park and Athletic Complex, Phase II - Council voted to a
three (3) soccer fields to the bond election (for an approximate addition
cost of $1.3 million). I
If the City Centre project is approved in the bond election, the Parks and
Recreation Department Administration staff will be relocated to that site,
aBLS possible uses for the existing Central Park office will need to be
determined.
Council voted to add $310,000 for park facility upgrades (intergenerational
features) back into the bond election.
Staff will prepare detailed information for the Board concerning the projects
that are being proposed for the bond election. Jodi W. stated that early voting
would start in October 2003.

Park Land Dedication Projects:
Zone 4 - Two (2) projects listed in this zone are on hold because there are
really no established projects yet.
Zone 6 - Four (4) projects are on hold in this zone because of the
potential for using those funds to build a future park on Southwest
Parkway, by Wellborn Road, depending on Board approval. If a park
where to be built in that area, it would provide park service to those
residents that is not provided at this time.
Zone 7 - Eric stated that he hopes that there will be public hearings for the
design of Woodway Park in the fall. The Department has hired an intern,
who is working on some design concepts for that park.

as though e-mails with attachments haven't made their way outside the City's server. Hopefully, this will make
Ws way to you.
During the Sept. 9th meeting, the Board suggested a presentation from Development Services staff concernin
the projected growth rate for College Station. Because of the useful information of this presentation, we are al
inviting our PARD supervisory staff, as well as Cemetery and Senior Advisory Committee members to attend. I
order to accommodate everyone, the presentation will be held on Monday, October 6th, at noon, at the
City Hall Council Chambers (1101 Texas Avenue). Agendas will be posted in the event of
board/committee quorums. I will make sure to get the information from this presentation to those members

There will also be a blanket goal stating that the Board supports staffs efforts (i.e. working with interagency
groups, implementing CIP Projects, seeking grants/donations, seeing Dept, accreditation, support for the
implementation of a regional park, Urban Forest Management Plan, communication with other City
Boards/Committees, on-line registration).
Also, I will be trying to get a quorum for the scheduled joint meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission
that will be held on Thursday, October 30th.
I think that's it for now. Please let me know if you have any questions. (Please note that Steve, Ric, the

Section I 0-F (of the Park Land Dedication Ordinance)
10-F. I Any land dedication to the City under this section must be suitable for park and recreation uses.
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: Park is generally located in the center of the development.
(b) Neighborhood park sites should be located so that users are not required to cross arterial roadways to access
them.
Comments: Crossing of only minor collectors will be necessary.
(c) Sites should not be severely sloped or have unusual topography which would render the land unusable for
organized recreational activities.
Comments: Staff recommends a site visit by staff and the Parks Advisory Board.
(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: Detention/retention areas are proposed and subject to Parks Advisory Board recommendation.
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 site is in a Drainage/Greenway

Section 1 0-F (of the Park Land Dedication Ordinance)
10-F. I Any land dedication to the City under this section must be suitable for park and recreation uses.
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:
(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:
(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.

herself to discuss the recommendation to have a senior information center at Post
Oak Mall. Additional costs associated with the request were discussed as well as

renting a cart at the mall would be $600.00 per month for January through October
