This policy is not meant to be all - encompassing, but a helpful guide to make the process more fluid and practical. Each request has unique characteristics and must be addressed as such. This policy attempts to outline the minimum naming requirements as reflected by previous Parks and Recreation Advisory Board decisions and discussions. It may be necessary to supplement, as required, more detailed criteria for this process. ` • - t [mil 1. All requests for naming a park or facility are to be presented to the Parks and Recreation Department for consideration. For consideration, the requests are to be made by a group or civic organization upon presentation of a petition containing the signatures of 25 or more registered voters from the City of College Station. Requests made by individuals will only be considered if the request satisfies Sections 1, 2 or 3 of the policy guidelines. Parks do not need to be named after an individual. When named after an individual, the justification must be compelling. 2. The naming request for a recently deceased individual will have a sixty (BC?) day waiting period from the time of death before the request may be proposed for consideration. 3. The Parks and Recreation Department staff will review the requests for completeness before submitting the item for consideration by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. 4. The chairperson of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board shall appoint a subcommittee that will be responsible for evaluation of the naming request and subsequent recommendation to the full Advisory Board. 5. The subcommittee shall submit its recommendation in a formal written report prior to full review by the Advisory Board. B. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, by simple majority, shall approve or disapprove the recommendations made by the subcommittee. 7. If the subcommittee's recommendation is for approval and it is disapproved by the full Advisory Board, the matter may then be referred back to the subcommittee for further action. 8. if the subcommittee's recommendation is for denial of the request, no further action is required by the Board. 9. If the proposed naming is approved by the Advisory Board, then the recommendation will e forwarded to the City Council for their consideration and final approval or disapproval. GUIDELINES Parks and facilities should be named in the following manner: 1. in honor of individuals who donate land for park space; 2. In honor of individuals who sell open space to the City at a value considerably below market value; 3. In Donor of individuals or organizations that contribute 50% or better of land and/or money for the park or facility; 4. In honor of national, state, and local heroes; 5, In honor of community leaders whose outstanding personal service has resulted in significant and enduring contributions to the community. Support for the proposed name should include endorsements by other groups, neighborhoods, or organizations. 6. In relation to the predominant geographical characteristics or physical features (lakes, rivers, streams, and trees) of the land; i. In relation to the subdivisions within the City where the site is located; 8. In relation to streets adjacent to the park; 9. No park shall be given the same name as an existing school site or public facility, except where the sites abut one another. 10. No park or facility officially named for a particular individual will be changed. However, there may be a park or facility that has a common name with no official designation. In this instance the renaming of such properties is sometimes appropriate. CITY OF O•:: PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS Rri PROGRAM PROJECT STATUS REPORT . s • E 1. W. A.

The City Council approved this selection. The contract was signed in early February 1996 and the initial meeting with staff' took place on February 27. Designs were completed and were bid twice with the last being July 24, 1997. On both occasions bids came in higher than the budgeted amount. Staff, the architect, and the low -bid contractor worked to bring the project within budget. Changes in the parking lot paving, concession/rest room building specifications, and the parking lot area lighting resulted in sufficient reductions to allow the project to be within budget. The item was approved by Council on August 28, 1997. Progress on the project is picking up due to good weather. A change order to correct problems with the subgrade soil in the parking area was approved by council on May 14, 1998. Currently, the general contractor is having difficulty completing the project due to difficulties with the subcontractor. Task.

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, (LOCAL GOV'T CODE REF.). 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 requirement into 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 majority of the residences to be served thereby. The park zones established by the Parks and 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: 10-6 General Requirement Dedications shall cover both land and development costs for neighborhood parkland for all types of residential development. 10-13-1 Land Dedication Whenever a final plat is filed of record with the County Clerk of Brazos County for development of a residential area in accordance with the planning and zoning regulations of the City, such plat shall contain a clear fee simple dedication of an area of land to the City for park purposes. For single family developments this area shall equal to one (1) acre for each one hundred (100) proposed dwelling units. For duplex and other multi -family development this area shall be equal to one (1) acre for each one hundred and thirty-four (134) proposed dwelling units. Refer to Appendix. Any proposed plat submitted to the City for approval shall show the area proposed to be dedicated under this section. The required land dedication of this subsection may be met by a payment of money in lieu of land when permitted or required by the other provisions of this section. In the event a plat is not required this dedication shall be met prior to the issuance of a building permit. 10-13.2 Fee in Lieu of Land Subject to veto of the City Council, a land owner responsible for dedication under this section may elect to meet the requirements of 10-13.1. in whole or in part by a cash payment in lieu of land, in the amount set forth below. Such pay- ment 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. 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 fifty dollars ($150.00) per dwelling unit for single family development and one hundred and twelve dollars ($112.00) per dwelling unit for duplex and multi -family development. Refer to Appendix. Cash payments may be used only for acquisition or development of a neighborhood park located within the same zone as the development. 10-13 3 Park Development Fee In addition to the land dedication, there shall also be a fee set from time to time by 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 thirteen dollars ($313.00) per dwelling unit for single family developments and two hundred and thirty-three dollars ($233) for duplex and multi -family development. Refer to Appendix. '10-B.4 Park Development in Lieu of Fee A developer has the option to construct the neighborhood park improvements in lieu of the park development fee. Development plans shall be reviewed and approved by the Parks Board. All improvements shall either be financially guaranteed or accepted by the City prior to the filing of a plat in the case of platted developments or prior to issuance of certificates of occupancy in the event that platting is not required. The process of financial guarantee shall be the same as that found in section 7 of the Subdivision Regulations and shall be used whether a plat is required or not. Once improvements are accepted by the City the developer shall deed the property and improvements to the City. 10-B.5 In instances where an area of less than five (5) acres is required to be dedicated, the City shall have the right to accept the dedication for approval on the final plat, or to refuse same, after consideration of the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Board. The City shall have the right to require payment of cash in lieu of land in the amount provided above, if it determines that sufficient park area is already in the public domain in the area of the proposed development, or if the recreation potential for that zone would be better served by expanding or improving existing parks. 10-B.5 The dedication required by this section shall be made by filing of the final plat or contemporaneously by separate instrument unless additional dedication is required subsequent to the filing of the final plat. If the actual number of completed dwelling units exceeds the figure upon which the original dedication was based, such additional dedication shall be required, and shall be made by payment of the cash in lieu of land amount provided above, or by the conveyance of an entire numbered lot to the City. 10-13.7 The City may from time to time decide to purchase land for parks in or near the area of actual or potential development. 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. 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. 1 o-C.2 If 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 dedication shall be required only for the increase in density and shall be based upon the ratio set forth in 1 O-B. of this section. 1 o-C.3 At the discretion of the City, any former gift 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 City Council shall consider the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Board in exercising its discretion under this subsection. 1 O-D Soecial Fund; Riaht 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. 1 o-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 sure, 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. I O-E Comprehensive Plan Considerations 1 g-E.1 The Park and ©pen Space Plan is intended to provide the College Station Parks and Recreation Advisory Board with a guide upon which to base future 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. 1©-E.2 Park Zones are established by the City's Comprehensive Plan 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 1 o-F.1 Any land dedicated to the city under this section must be suitable for park and recreation uses. Some combination of the following characteristics of a proposed area is likely to indicate it is suitable. (a) Sites should be located substantially outside of the floodplain. (b) Neighborhood park sites should be adjacent to residential areas in a manner that serves the greatest number of users. (c) Neighborhood park sites should be located so that users are not required to cross arterial roadways to access them. (d) Sites should not be severely sloping or have unusual topography which would render the land unusable for organized recreational activities. (e) Sites should have existing trees or other scenic elements. 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 schools in order to encourage both shared facilities and the potential co - development of new sites. (b) A proposed subdivision adjacent to a park may not be designed to restrict reasonable access to the park from other area subdivisions. Street connections to existing or future adjoining subdivisions may be required to provide reasonable access to parks. (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 public benefit is established. (d) A minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the perimeter of a park must abut a public street. In all cases, the City shall approve the proposed street alignment fronting on city parks. (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. Developer may request oversize participation in such instance. 1 p-G. Consideration and Aooroval Unless provided otherwise herein, an action by the City shall be by the City Council, after consideration of the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Board. Any proposal considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission under this section shall have been reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Board and its recommendation given to the Commission. The Commission may make a decision contrary to such recommendations only by a concurring vote of at least five (5) members. Should the Commission be unable to get this vote, the matter shall then be referred to the City Council for its decision. 1©-H. Review of Dedication Reauirements The City shall review the fees set forth in this section every three (3) years. The City shall take into account inflation as it affects land and park development costs as well as the City's targeted level of service for parkland per one thousand population. Fees shall be set by resolution of the City Council. Committee to Name the New Athletic Park Wednesday, October 8,1998,12:00 PM College Station Parks & Recreation Central Park Members Present: Steve Beachy, Parks & Recreation Director Ric Ploeger, Assistant Parks & Recreation Director Glen Davis, Parks & Recreation Advisory Board John Nichols, Parks & Recreation Advisory Board Bob DeOtte, Chair College Station Sports & Recreation Association David Hudspeth, College Station Sports League Supervisor Linda Waltman, College Station Recreation Superintendent Meeting Calle—d-to Order: 12.02 PM, Steve Beachy Discussion of the Naming of the New Athletic Park: Steve Beachy began the discussion and stated his intentions and desires to pick a name for the new Athletic Park. He mentioned that Central Park was often referred to as 1{renek Tap Park for many years even after it had received its official name. He also mentioned that on Texas Park and Wildlife Grant application forms it was referred to as Krenek Tap Park. By corning up with an official name for the new athletic park now would eliminate these types of situations. He also stated it would be a good idea to have a name that would allow for easy marketability. Bob Deotte stated that it would be helpful to have an official name so that it could possibly be utilized during the promotion of the bond election. The following names were suggested for the athletic park: South Texas Athletic and Recreation park - "STAR"' Lone Star Sports Complex Presidents Park Veterans Park and Athletic Complex Veterans Athletic/Sports Park Veterans Athletic Park Heritage Park George Bush Park Olympian Park Varsity Athletic Park Varsity Sports Plex After much discussion John Nichols made a motion to recommend that the Parks and Recreation Board accept and recommend the name of Veterans Park and Athletic Complex for the new athletic park, Bob Deotte seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Meeting Adjourned: 12:53 PM J)r�, AFT Memorandum of Understanding October 13, 1998 TO: Steve Beachy, Director of Parks and Recreation FROM: Joni E.

Payments will be issued within 30 days of receipt of payment request PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS FOR LOCAL PARK, RECREATION, & OPEN SPACE MASTER -; RECREATION & PARKS ACCOUNT LOCAL PARK GRANT PROGRAM, (Revised June 1996) The following suggestions have been developed to assist focal governments in the preparation of local master plans pursuant to requirements of the Texas Recreation & Parks Account Local Park Grant Program. Priority points can be received through the "TRPA Project Priority Scoring System" for projects which propose to meet priority needs identified in Department -approved, locally endorsed parks, recreation, and open space master plans. The suggestions are intended to assist you with this process, and they are not all-inclusive. Please note that a master plan is not required to participate in the grant oroaram. Please contact Grants -In -Aid (GIA) at (512) 912-7124 if you have any questions. Plans may be submitted for GIA review in advance of your application for funding assistance, or at the time your grant application is submitted. If the plan is submitted with your application and it is not approved, it will not be eligible for project priority points during that particular review cycle, even if revisions are made. Plans must either be pre -approved, or in an acceptable form at the time of grant submission to receive priority points. u �*� k Once plans are complete, the applicable governing body (city council, county commissioner's court, district or authority board) must pass a formal resolution or ordinance approving the plan and adopting a local listing of priority needs. Include the resolution or ordinance in the master plan when it is submitted for GIA review. JURISDICTION -'WIDE PLAN Plans must be comprehensive and address the entire jurisdiction area of the sponsor. If you are a city, the plan should cover the entire city. County plans must include the entire county. Plans may be broken into planning areas, regions, districts or precincts, as needed for larger communities or for counties. All planning areas/regions/districts/precincts must be included in the plan, and piece -meal plans will not be accepted. One of the biggest problems we are seeing with the plans we have reviewed is that they mostly address short terra needs and appear to be generated to justify one project. Plans must address present and future needs. TIME PERIOD FOR IMPLEMENTATION Plans must cover a minimum period of five years. Most plans cover longer periods. If your plan is more than two years old, a summary of accomplishments should be provided with your grant application so we can adjust your priority needs to accommodate what you have accomplished to -date. o.\beard\parkgrnt.dac PLAN CONTENTS This section should introduce the unit of government for which the plan is created. It should include background information about your socio-economic make-up, current and projected populations, growth or non -growth patterns, and the agency's role in providing parks and recreation opportunities. II. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Identify your parks and recreation service goals and follow up with more specific objectives for each goal. Address the time period which the plan is intended to cover. III. PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS This section is very important so that we can understand how you identified and prioritized your needs. Include information regarding who wrote the plan, planning committees utilized, public input received through hearings and surveys which you conducted. Be brief, but don't assume we know the process you went through. Include information about when you began this process also. IV, AREA AND FACILITY CONCEPTS AND STANDARDS This section of the plan is also very important and contributes directly to the assessment and identification of needs. You cannot properly identify needs without establishing local standards and concepts. You must know what you want before you can determine what you do or don't have. Area/Facility standards should be determined locally. Local standards are influenced by available economic and natural resources. A good source of information on this topic can be found in the National Recreation & Park Association's Park.. Recreation, Gpen 5,vace & Greenweys Guidelines (formerly the Recreation, Park & Open Space Standards & Guidelines). All of the guidelines identified in this document may, or may not be applicable to your community or county, as stated. Adjustments to those standards may need to be made to reflect your needs and available resources. Contact NRPA at (703) 820-4940 to obtain a copy of this publication. V. INVENTORY OF AREAS & FACILITIES Assess what parks, recreation, and open space areas and facilities are currently within your system. You may also want to address other areas and facilities which are available to the public which may be private or controlled by local school districts. This inventory information is important when you conduct the needs assessment. o.\board\parkgrnt.doc VI. 111 VIII. NEEDS ASSESSMENT & IDENTIFICATION The following three approaches may be employed in determining parks and recreation needs; (1) demand -based; (2) standard -based; (3) resource -based. The demand -based approach relies on information gathered from participation rates, surveys, and other information that indicates how much of the population wants certain types of facilities. The standard -based approach uses established standards to determine the amounts of facilities and park areas needed to meet the needs of a given population size. The standards may be based on studies of demand, or the professional judgment of parks and recreation planners and designers. The resource -based approach examines the assets and resources of the area for open space, parks and recreation facilities, and defines how these resources can be utilized. For example, the availability of a lame or river within an area is a resource which can be utilized in developing a park system. Agencies with large jurisdiction areas may wish to divide their jurisdiction into planning areas, regions, districts or precincts. Specific needs can then be assessed and identified within each planning increment. Needs must be clearly identified and the method for determining them should be clearly communicated. Be sure to consider outdoor, indoor, and programming needs, if applicable. PLAN IMPLEMENTATION & PRIORITIZATION OF NEEDS This section must include a prioritization of needs, and identifv when thev are Intended to be met. If your plan is broken into specific planning areas, regions, districts or precincts, you may prioritize needs within each of the planning increments. Priority needs should be area and/or facility specific, and ranked according to priority order (i.e.: Priority #1 = Trails; Priority #2 = Acquisition of neighborhood park in southeast area of town; Priority #3 = Rest rooms in all nature parks; Priority #4 Adult softball fields; Priority #5 = Tennis courts; etc.). You should also identify available and anticipated resources for meeting your needs, and a desired time line for carrying out the plan. CAUTION! Do not just focus on short-term needs and actions. Plan for the future also. ILLUSTRATIONS, MAPS, SURVEYS, ETC. Include relative maps, survey instruments, charts, plates, graphics, and photographs in the plan which will help communicate your planning process and efforts and support: stated conclusions. Specific areas intended for open space acquisition and preservation should be located on a map, identified as a need, and prioritized in your plan. o:\board\parkgrnt.dac m NO/ �e CITY OF COLLEGE STATION PARKS & RECREATION BOARD SPECIAL MEETING THURSDA.Y, OCTOBER 29, 1998 M 1 2:00 P.M.

Box 9960 College Station, TIC 77842 Re: Proposal for the purchase of land for the expansion of Woodway Park Dear Attached you will find a copy of the map of the area that depicts the property owned by Mr. Jim Baker. As we have discussed, it is the wish of my client t© have the City purchase the approximately 2.93 acres of land that is comprised of the remainder of lots 39, 40, 28, all of 26 including the abandoned R..O.W, for woodland parkway and the land to the south of the closed R.O.W. known as the "gully", If the parks board agrees, with this idea then an appraisal would be ordered to determine the value of the property. I personally believe that this would create a wrin_Wn for both my client and the city. This expansion of the park would provide a much nicer facility for the neighborhood and the use of this land as park would clear up some long standing ownership questions in the area. Attached you will find a copy of a map showing the property in question. This is for your use in preparing something for the board packet.

This policy is not meant to be all -encompassing, but a helpful guide to make the process more fluid and practical. Each request has unique characteristics and must be addressed as such. This policy attempts to outline the minimum naming requirements as reflected by previous Parks and Recreation Advisory Board decisions and discussions. it may be necessary to supplement, as required, more detailed criteria for this process. Procedure 1. All requests for naming a park or facility are to be presented to the Parks and Recreation Department for consideration. For consideration, the requests are to be made by a group or civic organization upon presentation of a petition containing the signatures of 25 or more registered voters from the City of.College Station. Requests made by individuals will only be considered if the request satisfies Sections 1, 2 or 3 of the policy guidelines. Parks do not need to be named after an individual. When named after an individual, the justification must be compelling. 2. The naming request for a recently deceased individual will have a sixty (60) day waiting period from the time of death before the request may be proposed for consideration. 3. The Parks and Recreation Department staff will review the requests for completeness before submitting the item for consideration by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. 4. The chairperson of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board shall appoint a subcommittee that will be responsible for evaluation of the naming request and subsequent recommendation to the full Advisory Board, 5. The subcommittee shall submit its recommendation in a formal written report prior to full - review by the Advisory Board. 6. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, by simple majority, shall approve or disapprove the recommendations made by the subcommittee. 7. if the subcommittee's recommendation is for approval and it is disapproved by the full Advisory Board, the matter may then be referred back to the subcommittee for further action. 8. If the subcommittee's recommendation is for denial of the request, no further action is required by the Board. 9. If the proposed naming is approved by the Advisory Board, then the recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration and final approval or disapproval.
