All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 13, 2004 Page 1 of 7 5. Discussion, reconsideration, and possible action regarding a park land dedication request for the Villas of Harvey (Park Zone 4): This proposed multi -family, 576 dwelling -unit development is located north of Highway 30, east of Veterans Park and Athletic Complex. The total land dedication requirement would be 4.6 acres. The total cash dedication requirement would be $92,160 for fee in lieu of land. The Park Development fee would be $168,192 for the 576 dwelling units. Glen D. made a motion to accept the park land dedication of 5.54 acres plus the additional 1.25 acres (see attachment CB Don A. seconded the motion. John N. expressed his concerns regarding accepting the proposal with most of the parkland in the floodplain. After some discussion, all were in favor of the motion and the motion passed unanimously. 6. Discussion, consideration, and possible action on a report from the Senior Advisory Committee concerning future usage of the Central Park Office Building: Dr. Raymond Reed, member of the Senior Advisory Committee, made a presentation regarding transforming the Central Park Office Building into a Senior Center. He asked that, on behalf of the Senior Advisory Committee, the Parks Board recommend to the City Council when the Parks and Recreation Department headquarters becomes available, that it be renovated and be dedicated for use as a Senior Center. He expressed the importance of having a Senior Center in this community and believes that the existing Central Park Office would be a great place to have one: a. It has close parking with handicapped access to all facilities; b. Options for easy and economic conversions for meeting rooms and activity rooms; c. Nearby pathways, picnic tables, benches, fishing ponds; d. It is in a park setting, which will encourage interaction between all ages, races, and cultures; and e. The presence of seniors in children's play areas increases the security of those areas. The building has roughly 6,500 gross square feet. Some of the renovations discussed included adding a small elevator for upstairs access, installing an upstairs restroom facility, removing some non -load bearing walls to make bigger meeting/activity rooms, repainting, having a full service kitchen, and doing some minor electrical work. These renovations are estimated to cost around $150,000. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 13, 2004 Page 2 of 7 Glen D. asked what discussions had been held about what would happen to the Central Park Office once it was vacated and what the other options would be. Steve B. replied that there has not been any discussion regarding the future of the building. Other alternatives could include some kind of retreat center, but he stressed that it would be important to keep the building for some type of park use. Dr. Reed added that although this is being proposed as a Senior Center, rooms would be available for other uses as well. Don A. made a motion to recommend to the City Council, that when it becomes available, the Central Park Office be renovated and be dedicated for use as a Senior Center. Ken L. seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. 7. Report, discussion, and possible action concerning updates to the Park Land Dedication Ordinance: Jane Kee, City Planner, explained that this discussion was generated by requests from developers that want to do their own park improvements. The language in the current regulations implies that the land has to be improved before it is dedicated to the city. The way Development Services administers the regulations in another section is that the park land has to be dedicated before the first plat. The purpose of this discussion was to try and remedy this confusion with the attached amendments (see attachment #2). One of the things Development Services was trying to do was to correct the Ordinance so that developers could install park improvements regardless of whether the park land had been dedicated yet or not. Also, the Ordinance currently stated that parkland must be dedicated before the first plat is filed. Some provisions had been written in Section 10-B- 1, which would allow parkland phasing to be considered by the Parks Board and recommended to the Planning and Zoning Board when they consider a plat. Furthermore, a section had been added that states that the Parks Board abbigild consider all dedications of five acres or more, and/or if there was any floodplain or greenway as part of the development. If the dedication is less than five acres and there is no greenway or floodplain, then the Parks Director or designee could approve only the fee in lieu of land. It was stated that five acres might be too large for the Director to accept the fee in lieu of land and that two or three acres might be preferable. Finally, if a developer chose to make improvements to a park, the plans would have to come to the Parks Board. A manual of neighborhood park development standards, which would be adopted by the Parks Board, would serve as a guide for developers to use. Improvements would have Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 13, 2004 Page 3 of 7 to be guaranteed by a bond or a Letter of Guarantee. The improvements would have to be completed within two years from the time that the guarantee was filed. Additionally, there would be a one-year warranty period by bond, which would be in the amount of 25% of the original bond for any type of warranty work that may need to be done. Glen D. asked if there had been any thought regarding the time of completion of the park, to the completion of the development. Jane K. answered that language could be added to say that the park must be completed within two years or upon completion of the development, whichever came first. This was a discussion item only and no motion was made. 8. Discussion, consideration, and possible action concerning a policy for Soccer Field Use: Various soccer groups have been requesting the use of soccer game fields for practices due to their growing needs for more practice fields. Currently, the Soccer Field Rental and Use Policy states that there will be no practices on game fields. Suggested changes to the policy would allow for limited use of game fields for practices. However, the number of practices that would be allowed on the game fields would not be determined until a game schedule from each of the soccer organizations (BCS Soccer League, Aggieland Soccer Club, Brazos Valley Youth Soccer Association, College Station Soccer Club) was submitted to the Parks Department. Once schedules have been submitted, Parks staff would determine how much additional use the fields could handle before they start to deteriorate. The policy does allow for the Parks Department to close soccer fields at their discretion due to weather and/or turf conditions. The Parks Department is requesting schedules from each of these groups as soon as possible after their registration time because the Parks Department reserves the right to rent these fields to others at times when they are not in use. Each group will have a league authorized representative which will coordinate all field usage with the Parks Department. Each organization was asked to keep their website current with rainout information. Additionally, the Parks Department would supply a list of locations that have goals and are available for practices. Also, maintenance schedules will be distributed which will show approximate dates that fields will be closed for routine maintenance. Furthermore, any soccer clinic that will be held at College Station facilities must be approved by the Parks Department no less than 10 days prior to the start of that clinic. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 13, 2004 Page 4 of 7 Also, league advancement tournaments that are to be held at College Station facilities will be covered under the User Agreement Policy instead of applying for and paying for a separate tournament agreement. However, a fundraiser tournament, invitational, or any other outside tournament, would require a regular Tournament Agreement as well as payment for all tournament fees. Don A. asked if the competitive soccer teams pay for use of the fields. Peter L. answered that they do not. Don A. brought up 'that the competitive girls softball teams have to pay to practice on the softball fields and expressed his dislike of having some groups paying and some not. Glen D. agreed that there needs to be discussion regarding equity among how all user groups are charged. This issue will be discussed when fees are talked about in the spring. Glen D. made a motion to adopt the Soccer Policy as written. Gary E. seconded the motion. John N. had a few comments regarding language use, and added that with those changes he was in support of the policy. All were in favor, and the motion passed unanimously. 9. Discussion, consideration, and possible action concerning park issues in Park Zones 10 and 13: The Board asked that this issue be discussed as a result of the school district locating a new elementary school in Park Zone 13 instead of Park Zone 10. Prior to this school district decision, most discussion had been dedicated to park issues in park zone 10. Steve B. did state that the land in Park Zone 10 which the school district owns could still be used as a park site even though the elementary school would not be located there. One of the Department's goals is to try and locate parks near schools where possible. However in this case, it does not seem like a logical conclusion. MO new elementary school will be close to the Castlegate Subdivision which already has a neighborhood park. Also, if a park were to be next to the school, it would not be accessible due to its location to Highway 40. This was a discussion item only, and no motion was made. 10. Discussion, consideration, and possible action concerning a report from the Park Naming Subcommittee: Jodi W. reported that City Council was reviewing a naming policy that could possibly affect how the Parks Board names facilities. One of the concerns in this potential naming policy is that a facility could only be named after a person that had been deceased for one year or more. The draft policy would be presented in a Council workshop on February 12, 2004. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 13, 2004 Page 5 of 7 The Subcommittee identified several parks that were to be named and prioritized those parks. They tried to identify names of people that might have a particular relation to the area that the parks are located in. The four parks discussed were as follows, along with the potential person the park could be named after: a. Zone 10 Park (Shenandoah Park) - North Bardell former City Manager. b. Zone 7 Park (Woodway Park) - Lowell Denton who was the attorney who took the park land dedication ordinance to the Supreme Court. c. Zone 6 Park (Southwest Park) - O.D. Butler d. Zone 2 Park (Eastgate Park) - O.C. Cooper This was a discussion item only and no motion was made. 11. Discussion, consideration, and possible action concerning the design process for Woodway Park: Woodway Park is the only park located in Park Zone 7, which is undeveloped. The city was working to acquire additional property for this park, which was contingent on the City being able to extend Jones -Butler Road. City staff was ready to move forward with the design of this park and was recommending holding at least one public hearing in February regarding this park. Pete V. showed the board a couple of potential concepts for this park (see attachments #3 & #4). This was a discussion item only and no motion was made. 12. Report, discussion, and possible action concerning the Capital Improvement Program: a. Park Land Dedication Project List b. Current Capital Improvement Project List - Glen D. asked for an update regarding the Bee Creek lighting project. Eric P. replied that the big problem is the ability to get the poles delivered. The poles have been cast, and they need a ten-day curing process, and should be shipped around January 20th. Pete V. reported that hopefully the project would be completed by February 1st c. November 2003 Bond Election Project - John N. asked if the $310,000 dedicated to park facility upgrades would be done in the first year. Steve replied that in the first year, approximately $150,000 is to be used. John N. wanted to see a priority list of what items would be done with the first $150,000. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 13, 2004 Page 6 of 7 Don A. asked if anything was being done about placing lights in the Jack and Dorothy Miller Park behind Rock Prairie School. Glen D. asked that this be an agenda item in the future. 13. Review, discussion, and possible action concerning Board and Departmental Goals and Objectives, and City Council Strategic Plan: John N. would like for Parks goal #7 (Develop recommendations for botanical gardens in existing or proposed parks) to be addressed in the next couple of meetings. He also reported that goal #6 (Restore the Arboretum at Bee Creek Park to its former value) would be discussed in February. 14. Discussion of calendar, future meeting dates and possible agenda items: The next meeting will be on Tuesday, February 10, 2004 at 7:00 FM at the Exit Teen Center. A MN hearing will also be scheduled in February regarding Woodway Park. Additionally, a joint MR with the Bryan Parks & Recreation Board of the Regional Park (TMPA) site will be on April 15, 2004. 15. Adjourn: The meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 13, 2004 Page 7 of 7 SECTION 10: REQUIREMENTS FOR PARK LAND DEDICATION 10-A. Purpose 10-A.1 This section is adopted to provide recreational areas in the form of neighborhood parks 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 Gov't Code Chapter 212 (Vernon 1988; Vernon Supp. 1999). 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 same is by integrating such a requirementinto 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. 10-A.2 Neighborhood parks are those parks providing for a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities and located within convenient distances from a ma ority of the residences to be served thereby. The park zones established by the Parks MI 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: 10-B General Requirement The 1r Manager or his designer shall administer ffdl Section 10. Requirements for Parkland Dedication. Dedications shall cover both land and development costs for neighborhood parkland for all tunes of residential development. Dedications shall lbe based on dwelling- unit numbers as proposed for y the, entire development. Increases in unit count will require appropriate increases -in fees paid. FE the actual number of completed dwelling units exceeds the figure upon ilifitli the original dedication tug based. such additional dedication shall be required. and shall be made by payment HE MI iiiiir in • of land as per 10.B.i. or Ili the conveyance el e entire iliiiiiiMil lot 61:1 the City.

For duplex and other multi -family development this area shall be equal to one (1) acre for each one hundred and twenty-five (125) proposed dwelling units. For methodology refer to Appendix 1 attached herein and incorporated and made a part of this ordinance for all purposes. n required may be met by a payment of money in lieu of land when permitted or required by the other provisions of this section. :• : •r •.. , M_:_Y ':',a } { e k .•r�•tM u•:a =r. };r .� . . 10-B.2 In the event a plat is not required this dedication shall be met prior to the issuance of a building permit. The full parkland dedication shall be prior to the filing of _ final plats for single family, duplex or OISOlatiiik development or prior to the issuance of any building permits for multi -family development, unless approval has been previously granted for phasing of this dedication. The Parks Board may recommend phasing of a residential development such that the ? parkland may be dedicated in pieces with each final plat. This phasing shall be so indicated on a preliminary plat and approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission. In the event that phasing of the required parkland is approved, there shall be a guarantee posted to cover the land dedication fee for those portions not yet dedicated. This guarantee shall be posted prior to the filing of any final plat for single family. duplex or townhouse development or prior to issuance of any building permits for multi -family development. Ed the event that a development is discontinued before all phases are complete. the Parks Board shall decide how to spend — guaranteed funds in that particular park zone. if these funds are not requested back as per Section 10-D-2 below. This does not relieve any future developer of the obligation for parkland dedication on any remainder of the property. A landowner responsible for dedication under this section may elect to meet the requirements of 10-B.1. in whole or in part by a cash payment in lieu of land, in the amount set forth below. Before making this election, for any required dedication of five (5) acres or more. or for Er development containing floodplain or greenway. the land owner must obtain a recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Adivsory Board and approval for the cash payment in lieu of land from the Planning & Zoning Commission pursuant to the plat approval procedures set out in— Article 3.3 of the Unified Development OrdinanceChapter 9, Section 6. Such payment in lieu of land shall be made at or prior to the time of filing the final plat for record at the Courthouse or prior to the issuance of a building permit where a plat is not required. For required dedications of less than five (5) acres in proposed developments containing no floodplain or greenway. the fee II lieu request will be INIRMI by the Director of Parks and Recreation or his designee. This determination shall be based on whether there is sufficient park area already in the public domain in the park zone of the proposed development. If the Director detennines Ie recreation potential for that zone would be better served by expanding or iffifdeMft existing parks. then rather than approving the fee in lieu. he shall refer the matter to the Board for determination.. The fee in lieu of land dedication requirement shall be met by a payment of a fee set from time to time by resolution by the City Council, sufficient to acquire neighborhood parkland. Unless changed by the City Council, such per -acre price shall be computed on the basis of one hundred and ninety-eight dollars ($198) per dwelling unit for single family development and one hundred and sixty dollars ($160) per dwelling unit for duplex and multi -family development. Refer to Appendix I. Cash payments may be used only for acquisition or development of a neighborhood park located within the same zone as the development. 10-B.3 Park Development Fee In addition to the land dedication, there shall also be a fee set from time to time b; resolution of the City Council sufficient to provide for development of the land to meet the standards for a neighborhood park to serve the zone in which such development is located. Unless changed by City Council this per -acre fee shall be computed on the basis of three hundred and —_fifty-eight dollars ($358) per dwelling unit for single family developments and two hundred and ninety-two ($292) for duplex and multi-famil:, developments. This fee shall be paid with each final plat submitted for single family.

If the City does purchase park land in a park zone, the City shall have the right to require subsequent park land dedications for that zone to be in cash only. This will be to reimburse the City its purchase cost. Once the City has been reimbursed entirely for all such park land within a park zone, this subsection shall cease to apply, and the other subsections of this section shall again be applicable. 10-C Prior Dedication; Absence of Prior Dedication 10-C.1 Credit shall be given for land and/or money dedicated pursuant to Ordinance 690 or 983. 10-C.2 Tf a dedication requirement arose prior to passage of this section, 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 dedica- tion shall be required only for the increase in density and shall be based upon the ratio set forth in 10-B. of this section. 10-C.3 At the discretion of the Planning & Zoning Commission , any former IN of land to the City may be credited on a per acre basis toward eventual land dedication requirements imposed on the donor of such lands. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board in exercising its discretion under this subsection. 10-D Special Fund: Right to Refund 10-D.1 There is hereby established a special fund for the deposit of all sums paid in lieu of land dedication under this section or any preceding ordinance, which fund shall be known as the park land dedication fund. 10-D.2 The City shall account for all sums paid in lieu of land dedication under this section with reference to the individual plats involved. Any funds 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 owners of the property on the last day of such period shall be entitled to a prorata 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. 10-E Comprehensive Plan Considerations 10-E.1 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 decisions. 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 purchased by the City or received as donations. 10-E.2 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. 10-F Additional Requirements; Definitions 10-F.1 Any land dedicated 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. Neighborhoodpark sites should be located so that users are not required to cross arterial roadways to access them. (b) Jan. 04 Parkland Ord" (c) (d) (e) Sites should not be severely sloping or have unusual topography which would render the land unusable for organized recreational activities. Sites should have existing trees or other scenic elements. 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. 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) (b) (c) (d) (e) 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. A proposed subdivision adjacent to a park may not be designed to restrict reasonable access to the park from other area subdivisions. Street and greenways connections to existing or future adjoining subdivisions may be required to provide reasonable access to parks. 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 public benefit is established. 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.

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 south 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: The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board toured the site on August 19, 2003. (d) Sites should have existing trees or other scenic elements. Comments: The park is wooded (the main 5.54 acres). (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: No detention/retention areas proposed in the 5.54 acre park 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.

(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: No non-residential use abutting the park is anticipated. (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: 72% abuts three (3) streets. (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: This new configuration improves access to the park and concentrates the area out of the floodplain into one spot. However, there is a loss of approximately 2 acres of park land when compared with the previous proposal. ra I -0 _-,:.r� -_��-..sue Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board consider requiring more park property out of the floodplain.
