Call to order. The meeting was called to order by Jodi Warner, Chair at 7:02 p.m. 2. Pardon N possible action concerning reauests for absences of members from meeting.

Discussion, consideration, and possible approval of minutes from Regular Board meeting of August 9, 2005 and the Williams Creek Subdivision Site tour on August 25, 2005. Glenn S. moved to accept the minutes from the two meetings as presented, and Jeannie M. seconded. All were in favor and the motion to accept the two sets of minutes passed unanimously. The minutes from the joint meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) would be approved by P&Z. 5. Discussion, consideration, and possible action regarding Park Land Dedication requests for: • Williams Creek Subdivision ' Park Zone 14: Ric stated that the board had toured the proposed park site on Williams Creek on August 25th. The proposed dedication was for 1.25 acres and a 1.8-acre detention area that could be accepted. The property was fairly flat with good street access. There will be a couple of parks in the area to serve this subdivision, but none were neighborhood parks within walking distance. Staff was recommending acceptance of the property. 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. Some of the members were opposed to the acceptance of the proposed dedication because of the size, feeling that it could be a maintenance issue in the future. John C. felt that the neighborhood should pay for the cost of the park. Discussion followed. Glenn S. stated that the ordinance was a very clear way in which to go about accepting land, but felt that sticking to an absolute of five acres (the minimum stated in the ordinance), was not realistic because there were many different issues that need to be addressed. He also felt that it was unrealistic to expect the neighborhood to pay for the park and was very supportive of the staff recommendation. Hearing no further discussion, Glenn S. moved acceptance of the park and development fees as recommended by staff. Jeannie seconded. Jodi called for the vote. The motion failed 3-5. The cash dedication would be accepted in lieu of the land. • Richards-Hampton Estates Subdivision ev Park Zone 3. Pete stated that this was for eight, single-family lots off of Sterling Street. There being no discussion, Glenn S. moved approval of the cash dedication and Gary E. seconded. The vote was called and the Board voted unanimously in favor of accepting the cash dedication of $4,448. • The Woodlands/Dovetail Development ru Park Zone 6. This was for 545 multi- family dwelling units with possible commercial development in front of it, to go in at the corner of Wellborn Road and Harvey Mitchell Parkway. No specific development plans had been seen at this point. Southwest Park site (4.77 acres) lies to the left of this and the staff recommendation was to complete the park as it has been envisioned for almost thirty years. It was the understanding of staff that Christine Lane would be closed to traffic. The city was also interested in a greenway. A letter had been sent that week by the Director of Development Services to the development community about a variety of issues, including Christine Lane, but basically requesting a dedication of 4.36 acres in a certain area of Dovetail's development to complete Southwest Park. This would make the park just a little over nine acres. Based upon a proposal from Dovetail (attached), they are reluctant to dedicate land in excess of the requirement stated in the Park Land Dedication Ordinance, and would require the city to reimburse them in the amount of $322,445 to make up the difference based upon their land cost. They also plan to build a private road from Southwest Parkway down to Christine Lane with the city being granted some type of easement and access to the park, but they are also calling for a fifteen acre buffer between the road and the park. Christine Lane would be abandoned and whatever access the city has at that point would be lost. (The city's response letter to Dovetail is attached.) Steve stated that if for some reason the city did decide to accept the proposal, there was no money in that park zone and it would require authorization from the City Council to get it done. Greg Taggart with MDG - the engineer on the project - was present to answer any questions and seek direction from the board. After some discussion, the Board felt that the city should try to get the land to complete the park and that negotiating was not their charge - the 4.36 acres should be the required dedication. It was also agreed that reviewing and updating the amounts for cash dedications in terms of land value should be revisited soon. Glenn S. moved that the board accept the land dedication in whatever amount was required to complete Southwest Park and that the street frontage requirement that is in the Park Land Dedication Ordinance be met. John C. seconded. Hearing no further questions, the vote was called. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously. 6. Report, discussion and possible action regarding Senior Advisory Committee member recommendations ru Marci Rodgers. Marci was present to ask for approval from the Board for two individuals - Dorothy and Jack Hernandez - to serve on the Senior Advisory Committee. The terms started in August however, she was hoping that they could still be added. The Senior Advisory Committee by-laws state that they can have up to 21 members but not less than 12, and this would give them 17 members. Glenn S. moved approval Kathleen I. seconded. The vote was called and the motion carried unanimously. 7. Discussion, consideration, and Possible action regarding Colorado Landfill Park Report r. Ross Albrecht. Ross gave a report on the recreational opportunities for the BVSWMA Rock Prairie Road Landfill site, based on his site visit to the David A. Lorenz Regional Park in Denver Colorado (copy attached). The timeframe for the current landfill is closure within the next five years, with the new landfill opening in the spring of 2009. There will be some overlap as far as use. It will probably become part of the park system within the next five to ten years. No action was required this was an informational item. 8. Report. discussion and possible action regarding proposed FY2006 Parks and Recreation Department User Fees. This was a follow-up on one additional issue regarding a proposed increase in the redevelopment fee. Also, on page four of the handout there were athletic fees that had not been included in the previous review of the fees in August. The increase in the redevelopment fees was to do replacement items such as soccer goals fences, irrigation systems. The $100 per day cost for field rentals was done to adjust to a more uniform price for fields. Kathleen I. moved acceptance of fees as scheduled, Gary E. seconded. Hearing no further discussion, the vote was called. All were in favor and the motion carried unanimously. 9. Update, discussion, and possible action regarding Hurricane Katrina disaster response. Steve stated that this was not a formal report - he wanted to take the opportunity to recognize the Parks employees who had worked many long hours during the response. Lincoln Center had been the first shelter that opened on September 2nd and the last person had just been placed. The center had housed 110- 120 people maximum and it had been manned 24 hours per day. The programs continued to go on. The Lincoln Center kids were moved to the Kids Klub program and the Teen Center closed for a couple of days because staff was utilized. The local neighborhood response had been wonderful with helping the evacuees. He added that our community disaster plan calls for this area to house 15,000 evacuees and we struggled with 500, so there were some gaps that need to be filled. There will be a number of new residents in the community that will stay. He finished by stating that this had been a good exercise - in the event something happens in Houston, it will be even more complicated. No action was required, as this was an informational item. 10. Review, discussion, and possible action concerning Board and Departmental Goals and Objectives, and City Council Strategic Plan. • Steve stated that Congressman Edwards had been briefed on August 31st and he was very supportive of the regional park initiative. • Shortly after the beginning of the fiscal year the Board goals will be revised for 2006 and will probably be on the October agenda. • The Program and Facility Needs Assessment had a 45% response rate. All of the work had been done and the final report should be forthcoming. • The Park Land Dedication Ordinance revisions had gone to P&Z but not City Council. The wording regarding the appraised value of land for the developer still needed to be done. Hearing no further discussion this item was closed. 11. Report, discussion, and possible action concerning the Capital Improvement Program. • The Park Land Dedication Project list had been included in the members' packets. Jodi said she had been approached by someone with the Edelweiss Homeowner's Association about the protocol for putting new swings in at Edelweiss playground and the HOA wanted to either help with the cost or put them in. Steve said that the HOA just needed to send a letter to Parks Department and have them send the money they want to give and it will be deposited into that park zone. The Parks Department would do the project. • The current Capital Improvement Project list had been included in the members' packets. • John C. asked about the status of the city's receiving a matching grant in approximately 2001 from a federal agency for greenways. He stated that he had never heard what it had been used for. Ric said he would find out and e-mail the Board with the information. • Ric stated that the CIP projects were proceeding well. Veterans Park and Athletic Complex Phase II would bid this fall; the Lincoln Center water park would go out to bid soon; Steeplechase Park construction is out to bid; and, the Jack & Dorothy Miller Park basketball court cover is almost complete. In October the Department will have a whole new set of projects to add to the list and the projects that are completed will fall off of the list. 12. Discussion of next meeting dates and possible agenda items. • Future Senior Center Public Meeting '' Thursday, September 15, 2005, 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church of College Station • International Student Picnic at Central Park ry Thursday, September 29, 2005 • October Regular Meeting - October 11, 2005 • Recreation Center Report at October regular meeting 13.

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: (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: Section 10-G: Approval: Parks and Recreation Advisory Board: At the regular meeting of September 13, 2005, the Board voted unanimously to accept the land dedication in whatever amount was required to complete Southwest Park and that the street frontage requirement that is in the Park Land Dedication Ordinance be met. Planning & Zoning Commission: City Council: CITY OF COLLEGE STATION Planning d Development Services September 8,2005 Mr.Bob Landers Development Manager Dovetail Development 126 Briarcliff Road,Suite 9 Athens,GA 30606 Re: Butler/ Schick Tract Development Access Issues Dear Mr. Landers: Thank you for meeting with us on Wednesday, August 10th to discuss the potential development of the Butler and Schick tracts. Following that meeting,we were informed by the Texas Department of Transportation that the design of the FM 2818 / Wellborn Road grade separation project is being modified and the impact to these tracts will be less adverse than originally expected.The ramp from westbound FM 2818 to northbound Wellborn Road is being removed and will be replaced with a free right-turn movement at the intersection. In effect,the removal of the intersection between Wellborn Road and Christine Lane is no longer needed. We also understand that meetings were held among members of the City Council last week to solicit participation from the City in various aspects of the project. At this time, we wish to provide a definitive answer to you regarding the City's position regarding this development. Christine Lane-The City understands that it may be your preference to continue with plans to have Christine Lane abandoned and use a series of private streets to provide circulation within the site. We are agreeable to support this request as long as the following public needs are met: Park Access-The City requests that the developer construct a street from Southwest Parkway to the south boundary of the existing park land. The roadway,which should be adjacent to the park, may be public or private. In the case that it is private, the City should be granted rights for park access. Park Land Dedication-The City requests that the remainder of the property between the existing park land and the proposed street described above be dedicated to the City to meet the parkland dedication requirement. This would provide a total of about ten acres for Southwest Park.Consideration of this is on the Parks Board agenda for Tuesday,September 13th.

Utilities- Any utilities that currently use the Christine Lane corridor will either have to be relocated to a new utility easement,or a utility easement will have to be granted along the existing roadway.

Vfsi ww.s‘thedovetakoloPames con' August 23, 2005 Steve Beachy Director of Parks&Recreation 1000 Krenek Tap Road College Station, TX 77842 Steve, Based on our discussions with you during our meeting on August 10, we have prepared this proposal to the College Station Parks&Recreation Department for our park land dedication requirement for the Woodlands of College Station project. This project will contain 545 condominiums. Our understanding of the regulations is that a multi-family development is required to dedicate 1 acre per 125 dwelling units or$452 per dwelling unit to the city of College Station. This equates to a land dedication of 4.36 acres or a fee of$246,340. Our discussions have indicated that the city's preference for our project is for a land dedication that will complete the existing Southwest Park and that will allow it to assume a usable form. As part of our project, we will be constructing a road from Southwest Pkwy to Christine Lane,just south of the creek. We will require a 15 ft buffer north of this road for landscaping. The city of College Station and Dovetail Development will work to an agreement on the amenity composition of the park. As shown on the attached drawing, the remaining land north of the new road bounded by the buffer to the southwest, Southwest Pkwy to the northwest, and existing park lands to the northeast and southeast comprises an area of 4.64 acres. Our land cost in this area is $122,583 per acre, with a total value of$568,785. We are proposing a land dedication in this area, at a value equal to the required fee amount of$246,340, with the remaining acreage to be acquired by the city of College Station at a value equal to our cost. The total amount due to Dovetail Development will be$322,445. We look forward to working with you on this development and are pleased that we are able to assist the city in resolving the decades old issue of what to do with Southwest Park.
