Adjourn H Now() CITY OF COLLEGE STATION Post Office Box 9960 1101 Texas Avenue College Station,Texas 77842-9960 (409)764-3500 MEMORANDUM TO: Parks and Recreation Board FROM:3iie Steve Beachy, Director of Parks and Recreation DATE: ' February 9, 1995 SUBJECT: ITEMS OF INTEREST 1. City Council Strategic Issues: The City Council has reviewed the City's existing Strategic Issues and developed several new ones. Also, all issues have been updated according the current priorities of the Council. The Council has directed staff to prepare action plans for the top 25 issues and submit them for review at their meeting of March 22. Several of these issues affect Parks and Recreation including #3 One Stop Health Facility, #5 Community Appearance, #16 George Bush Library Impacts, #18 Youth At Risk, #22 Recreation Programs for Youth Ages 13-19, and #23 Future Facilities Planning. All top 25 issues have been assigned staff teams from various Departments to develop these plans for initial review by the City Manager starting on March 2. This will be a priority for us for the next six weeks. I have enclosed a copy of the list of issues and guidelines for developing the action plans. 2. Kidfish: This new fishing event was held at Central Pond on Saturday, January 21, 1995. It was such a grand success that trophies ran out and certificates were passed out to participants to redeem later. A total of 379 youngsters registered on the day of the event, twice the expected estimate, and turned in donations totalling $7,000. All funds go to a non-profit agency, Share A Lunker Foundation, which coordinates events statewide for the use in supporting urban fisheries. This foundation will be a group that we will submit a proposal to for the funding of local pond renovations or improvements. This will become an annual event as part of our urban fishing program. 3. Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater Update: A valentine's style press conference I will be held on Monday, February 13, 1995, to present to the media our calendar of events for the 1995 season. The concert season will open with Home of Texas A&M University Items of Interest February 9, 1995 Page (2) Willie Nelson on March 4, and run through October or November. A family fun series will take place throughout the summer with an event scheduled every Friday from May to August. Details will be available soon. 4. New Lincoln Center Supervisor: Ms. Kimmie Habtemicheal joined our staff on February 1, 1995. She is a local resident of College Station and has volunteered at Lincoln Center for years. She has a BBA degree from Jarvis Christian College and comes to us from the Department of Public Safety. 5. MLK/Black History Programs: Both the Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration in January and the Black History Program in February were very successful. MLK had approximately 300 in attendance to listen to Dr. Jim Scales, Superintendent of C.S.I.S.D., as well as view the new mural at of three prominent black heroes located in the gym at Lincoln Center. The Black History program drew a smaller crowd of only 200, but the program was as uplifting as Martin Luther King. 6. Lincoln Center Scoreboard: The scoreboard at Lincoln Center dates back to before 1980 when the center was renovated. At that time, the scoreboard and light fixtures were still in sound condition and were reused in the new construction. Since that date the scoreboard has developed problems and we have had several electricians look at it. Currently, one electrician knows he can fix it, but is having difficulty in locating the correct part due to the age of the board. We are investigating ways to replace the entire scoreboard with a new one. There are a couple of local businessmen who have shown some interest in defraying the cost, but no firm commitments have been reached. 7. Adamson Lagoon Floatables: The water amenities at Adamson Lagoon have been so popular that many of our floating animals have seen extensive wear. We are currently having the floatables repaired by the manufacturer at the New Braunfels General Store (NBGS). The company is repairing them at no cost to us. Later this spring NBGS will send two employees to teach our three district supervisors how to make repairs on the stump slide and frog slide. We are currently negotiating on the price for that. bg Copies: Tom Brymer, Interim City Manager John Woody, Assistant City Manager/Operations . .. .............. .............. ........................... • / '4 CITY OF COLLEGE STATION l ., .i :.L.� ±i;�t". :0.1 9960 t_xas Av cntit rte " -j In r � �. ,oil,.ge Station, c.xa 77842-9960 (409) 764_3500 February 24, 1995 Mr. Bert Hermann 2401 B Bypass College Station, TX 77840 RE: Questions regarding Development of your Property along the East By-Pass Dear Mr. Hermann, I have reviewed the letter and drawing you brought to my office last week. I understand that someone is interested in 33 acres of your property. Before you can legally sell any portion of your property you.must submit a preliminary plat and/or master development plan on the entire acreage you own. This splat/plan must be submitted by a registered professional engineer and must be accompanied by impact studies showing the impact of the range of uses allowed under the current or proposed zoning on the City's infrastructure(electrical, water, wastewater, drainage and traffic) systems. This master plan must include all property that was under the same ownership as of-1970. If there have been any subdivisions or sales of property since 1970 these properties must be included in any platting documents. I understand from Mr. Callaway that Davis McGill bought 14 acres from Lydia Boriskie in 1983. This was done without legally subdividing the property. This 14 acres must be included in your plat. The City can not issue any building permits on any of the original parent tract without the property first being platted, since this illegal subdivision took place in 1983. As we have discussed, Appomatox is on the City's Thoroughfare Plan to be extended through your property. This right-of-way must be shown on the master plan or preliminary plat of the entire property. Final plats must be submitted with construction documents and appropriate financial guarantees for infrastructure improvements. You may final plat just a portion of the property, but whether you would be allowed to build just part of Appomatox at that time would be decided based upon your impact studies and the City's policies. It is not likely that the staff will support a piecemeal approach to the construction of necessary roadways such as the Appomatox extension. The City would want to insure that, if all of the Appomatox extension is not constructed initially, the property remaining to be developed could support the portion of the street remaining to be built. If this is not determined to be the case, then the City could discuss deferring construction of a portion of Appomatox only if you dedicate the right-of-way at this time, submit approved construction documents and monetarily guarantee the construction. Your engineer, in designing Appomatox, might suggest alternative layouts considering the location of the oil well. -- • Home of Texas AGM University . ............................................... ................. x. 1 As I stated, my conversations with the Parks Dept. have indicated that the Parks Board is not willing to recommend that the 6.08 acres adjacent to the Switch Station be accepted as parkland dedication. You should discuss any parkland dedication matters with the Parks Board before proceeding. Your questions regarding assessment being waived in lieu of a land dedication is not applicable because the developer is responsible for dedicating right-of-way and building the road. I reference my previous letter of August, 1994 for discussion of your proposal to relocate Switch Station Road, if that is still your desire. Sincerely, . A-4_, / i - - 111 . •eR.

Commission Cmeeting hairman Hawthorne called te joint of the Planning and Zoning Commission and Parks and Recreation Board to order. and informed the audience that after the presentation and discussion amongst the Commissioners and Board Members, there will be a brief question and answer session. AGENDA ITEM NO. 2:Presentation by Rellmuth Obata and Kassabaum concerning the City's Plan includin the Parks and O en S .ace Plan, Transportation Plan and Land Comprehensive g � � Use Plan. ' Joe F ob finer of Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum (HOK), Rod Kelly of Barton-Aschrnann and Rob ............: McKay of CDM and Associates presented the following four major components of the plan: Type Desirable Size Acres/1000 Pop? Mini-Park 1 acre or less .25 - .5 acres Neighborhood Park 15 +acres 1.0 - 2.0 acres Community Park 25 + acres 5.0 - 10.0 acres • Regional Park 200+ acres 5.0 - 10.0 acres • -- "Core" park land can be described as the minimum amount of developable park land provided in a community. This park land should be located outside of flood plains, but may include some natural features such as water bodies. -- Mini-Parks are parks that range from one to two acres in size and typically provide picnic areas, playgrounds and seating. Lions and Windwood Parks are examples of existing Mini-Parks in College Station. Many of the school playgrounds located in College Station also function as Mini-Parks. -- Neighborhood parks serve a larger population than Mini-Parks. In addition to the 0 • activities available in Mini-Parks, Neighborhood Parks may also include areas for more intense recreational activities such as field games, court games and swimming. The majority of College Station's existing parks fall within the standards of Neighborhood Parks. -- Community Parks serve many neighborhoods. In addition to the activities available in Neighborhood Parks, Community Parks may also include athletic complexes, large swimming pools, community centers and nature preserves. -- Regional Parks serve entire cities or regions. Activities available in Regional Parks may include picnicking, swimming, camping and trail use. Lick Creek park is an undeveloped, 515 acre regional park located within the City. Mr. Pobiner presented the following recommendations regarding the Parks & Open Space Plan: (1) Provide approximately 10.5 acres of park land for every 1000 people. (The City is fairly close to this figure now at roughly 7 acres per 1000 people.) (2) The "improved" portions of the parks including ball fields, concession stands, etc. be adjacent to the flood plain but not in the flood plain. (3) Opportunity for a large regional park of approximately 200 acres. Currently the Parks and Recreation Board is looking for a large softball facility that could possibly be located in either zones 9 or 10 so that they are fairly centrally located as the City grows to the south. A park in this location could also take advantage of the existing major roadways in the area. P&Z/Parks Minutes February 7, 1996 Page 3 of 7 • • Mr. Kelly stated that there are several options available such as changing the land use to help mitigate the impacts of a changing community or University. The transportation models will be available for staff to utilize to see what the impacts will be on traffic demand, identify deficiencies and look at alternatives. In many cases, you do not have much flexibility to add new roadways in developed areas. Much of the flexibility is in the new areas of town and acquiring enough right-of-way to allow for the potential to expand or modify them to increase capacity. Mr. Manson stated that at previous meetings there were questions concerning possible growth to the south due to people commuting to Houston. Has that been addressed as part of the Plan? Mr. Pobiner stated that there is a potential for that type of growth; however, it will probably not happen within the next ten to fifteen years. He stated that he would expect more tele-commuting where people may only commute to Houston one to three days a week and on the remaining days communicate via computer. In the twenty year time frame of the Plan, there should not be a strong influence of Houston based traffic. Typically, the maximum amount of time that someone will commute is forty-five minutes. The City should encourage those types of industries closer to College Station rather than driving to Houston. Commissioner Hall suggested that the consultants also examine the employee traffic of the University and not just the student traffic. The University could probably provide information about where the employees are coming from every day both inside and outside of the city limits. This type of information could help the City in working with the University as far as time schedules for the employees exiting and entering campus. (.. Mr. Kelly agreed and stated that through their discussions with the University, the faculty, students and employees are coming from everywhere and not just from one particular area. AGENDA ITEM NO. 3:Questions and comments from the audience concerning the Plan. Commission Chairman opened the meeting to questions and comments from the public. The following concerns/comments were voiced by the audience: (1) How much more will be done with the Parks and Open Space Plan? Mr. Pobiner stated that they have already gone beyond the scope of services. The final product will not show actual detailed designs of specific parks. However, there will be recommendations made for location criteria to be used by the Parks & Recreation Board and City staff (2) The City currently has six community parks in existence and the proposal shows the need for twenty additional parks which suggests that the City is badly under parked at this time or the proposal is overly ambitious. Where is the criteria coming from and have you looked at the . relationship of the mini parks and thoroughfares? • P&Z/Parks Minutes February 7, 1996 Page 5 of 7 • • Councilman Grouch explained that when the City Council ranked the issues for 1996 for next year's budget, the number two issue is the drainage utility district implementation and ( issue number twenty-three is a county wide drainage plan. Staff is currently putting together action plans on each issue. (7) Expressed concern with the employment assumptions and where the proposed 60,000 people are going to work. More specific information should be provided about the employment densities. (8) The Plan should also concentrate on alternative forms of transportation including bikes, pedestrian ways, bus systems, etc. and be encouraged as part of the Thoroughfare Plan. AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Other business. There was no other business. AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Adjourn. Commissioner Gribou moved to adjourn the joint meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission and Parks and Recreation Board. Commissioner Hall seconded the motion which passed unopposed (10 - 0).
