CaII 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. Carol Blaschke had submitted a request for absence. Kathleen I. moved to accept Carol's request. Gary T. seconded and the voted was called. All were in favor and the motion excusing Carol's absence passed unanimously. 3. Hear visitors. Hearing none this item was closed. 4. 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 N 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 N 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 N 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 S ar ing Senior Advisory Committee member recommendations N 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 Dossible action regarding Colorado Landfill Park Report N 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 '' Thursday, September 29, 2005 • October Regular Meeting N October 11, 2005 • Recreation Center Report at October regular meeting 13.

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. P.O.

This could be provided by way of a property dedication or through a bike and pedestrian access easement. 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.

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.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The County Line Landfill (CLL) was located well to the extreme south of development associated with the Denver Metropolitan Area when it began operation in the mid-1960's. The pre -Subtitle D facility was constructed without a containment or leachate collection system. As with many Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Facilities across the United States, urban growth surrounded the CLL with residential and industrial development. Because of this development and growing shortages of affordable parkland in the area, the CLL, which was closed in 1987, presented a unique opportunity to covert the 85-acre vacant site into athletic fields. This park fills a critical need to provide safe places for kids and adults to play at a time when South Suburban Park and Recreation District (SSPRD) has experienced a 270% growth in youth sports. Major funding for development came from a citizen -approved General Obligation Bond, issued in 2000 based on SSPRD's desire to meet a critical need for athletic fields identified in their Gold Medal 2020 Report. Getting approval for this facility required the close cooperation and substantial effort of Arapahoe County (owner of the land), Douglas County (the County in which the CLL is located), Waste Management of Colorado, Inc. (the contract operator) and South Suburban Park and Recreation District (the leaseholder and operator of park). Technical reviews were also conducted by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Tri-County Health Department. In 2001, the capped landfill was leased from Arapahoe County by SSPRD at no cost for 15 years, with options to renew or purchase. Phase I of the development on the CLL, now known as the David A. Lorenz Regional Park, was completed in July, 2003. It consists of two synthetic sports turf multi- purpose fields and one softball/baseball field, a BMX bike track, and an 18- _._ - hole disc golf course as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Location of Phase I Facility Relative to Landfill Site COURT/ LIME WOU1la : MON. roo`rawi WASTE MANAGEMENT merican ivil onstructors Future phases will include eight additional artificial grass fields, plus a dog park, inline hockey rink, skate park, and loop trail. ocgr Associates 1 Development of a Recreation Facility on Former Landfill Site in Denver Key players in this project were the senior management and design staff at SSPRD for development of the successful concept to use the closed landfill for recreation uses, Arapahoe County and Waste Management of Colorado, Inc. (WMC) who greatly assisted in both the political and technical processes to convert the landfill to a sports complex, American Civil Constructors, Inc. (ACC) the lead designer and general contractor for the project, and Golder Associates Inc. (Golder) who provided design and construction quality assurance services for the liners and gas collection system. When the Iandfill closed in 1987, it was capped with a compacted soil layer and a vegetated cover. A shallow groundwater dewatering system along with an active landfill gas collection system, were also installed. Several key design goals were developed for the park to minimize potential negative impacts to the long-term operation of the landfill. These were: ➢ Design the recreational fields and support facilities such that the net infiltration of precipitation into the landfill was no more than pre -development levels; ➢ Surface structures were designed to be highly flexible, where possible, to withstand the potential effects of continued settlement from ongoing degradation of MSW; ➢ Modify the collection system piping for the landfill gas collection system so that the existing gas extraction wells could be utilized, but not obstruct the recreational facilities; and ➢ Provide a grading plan for the facility that requires no excavation into the existing cap and MSW. In order to meet these goals, first, an artificial grass turf was selected. This material selection requires no watering, fertilization or mowing. This selection was also timely in response to widespread drought conditions prevalent in the area that restricted play on many other playfields. Finally, to prevent no net increase of infiltration from the development into underlying MSW, playfields were lined with a highly flexible polyethylene liner. Secondly, recycled asphalt materials were chosen for parking lots in order to withstand differential movement of the underlying landfill mass and yet to be somewhat impermeable to promote runoff and limit infiltration. Third, the landfill gas system was reconfigured and provided with above ground enclosures to prevent vandalism. Finally, foundations for structures like backstops, fencing, etc. and surface water drainage features were designed so that they did not penetrate into the underlying cap placed over the MSW. 2. SPECIAL POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS The political effort to make this project a reality took almost as long as the construction of the project itself. The site of the landfill was in Douglas County, Colorado, but the landfill had been developed and was owned by neighboring Arapahoe County. In addition, the landfill is leased to SSPRD. The plan had to be approved by all three entities and during the approval process, there were twenty-six referral government agencies who also had to review and merican lull Golder ...sTE MA ..,.., onstructors Associates 2 WASTE MANAGEMENT Development of a Recreation Facility on Former Landfill Site in Denver comment upon the project and its design. These were at both the local and state levels. The approval process took nine months. 3. GENERAL SCOPE OF PROJECT The principal purpose of the project was the development of athletic fields and the master plan accommodated eleven total fields, four baseball and seven multipurpose fields. This will help satisfy the huge demand for playing area and playing times for recreation leagues, high schools and even junior colleges, which SSPRD helps to fulfill. Ancillary facilities included access roads, parking and areas for portable toilets and concession areas. Additionally, walking trails and a dog park were part of the master plan. Phase I of the project included the initial access point (including traffic signals and signage), two infill synthetic turf multipurpose fields, one infill synthetic turf baseball field, three dirt practice and warm up areas, three pedestrian plaza areas for gathering at the fields, a centrally located area for portable toilets, a BMX track, and parking for nearly two hundred cars. The scope of the Phase I development was determined by the District's initial construction budget of $3,100,000.00. Other features in Phase I included security fencing around the development to limit further movement onto the rest of the landfill cap, wood post and board fencing with wire mesh around the fields to help keep balls in the field area, both surface and underground drainage systems, a retention pond, and native seeding of all disturbed areas on the cap. 4. SPECIAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS When the concept of transforming the closed landfill into playfields was initially proposed, a number of hurdles had to be overcome. During early stages of waste placement, excess water accumulated behind an earthen berm, resulting in elevated ground water levels that saturated some of the waste. The Colorado Department of Health issued a Notice of Violation in February 1983. A dewatering system comprised of wells was implemented by Arapahoe County and WMC with about 20 million gallons pumped to a local wastewater treatment plant. This system was shut down and decommissioned in June 1999 in favor of Monitored Natural Attenuation as the appropriate corrective action for the shallow groundwater zone. Consequently, no net increase of infiltration was an important environmental consideration affecting development. In part, the climate of the Denver area has made this project another special environmental consideration. Generally, landfills located in climates that are more humid experience significantly more degradation of MSW and corresponding settlement than landfills in semi -arid climates (average annual precipitation is about 16 inches per year) such as Denver's. This condition often occurs over long periods and comparable park projects in wetter climates have experienced significant settlement after development. This is due to more introduction of water to the landfill, predominately during operation and prior to final closure. Because of merican may. ivii Gaddgr onstructers oc„ates 3 Development of a Recreation Facility on Former Landfill Site in Denver significantly less precipitation, semi -arid climates allow projects like this to be built relatively soon after closure (17 years) compared to landfills at sites with more precipitation. In response to these special environmental considerations, the following design criteria were adopted: ➢ Artificial grass turf was selected for the playing fields; ➢ The playing fields and detention pond were lined with 30-mil Liner Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) with a gravel drainage system placed above the liners; ➢ Excavation was not allowed into the existing cover except to remove the upper six inches of topsoil and vegetation; ➢ Native vegetation, not requiring irrigation, was planted outside of parking and sports field areas; ➢ Surface water channels required with the development were routed quickly off of the cover to limit infiltration; ➢ Recycled asphalt, with low permeability and a high runoff coefficient was used for the parking areas; and ➢ No irrigation was allowed_ The active landfill gas recovery system has been in operation since 1987. It became Colorado's first landfill gas -to -electricity project. At its peak provided electricity an equivalent of 500 homes per year. Because of the successful drawdown of groundwater levels, landfill gas quality and quantity declined, resulting in the energy recovery system being dismantled in 2000. However, the system continues in use to control perimeter landfill gas migration. . The west side of the former landfill was selected for Phase I development because it generally exhibited less settlement and gas generation over the last few years compared to the eastern half of the site. The gas collection system has been very effective in keeping methane concentrations less than the regulatory standard of 5% by volume at the property boundaries. This is despite the fact that the gas probes at the property boundary are within 10 feet of the waste boundary in some locations. Because of the effectiveness of the existing gas collection system, an overall approach was adopted that involved changing as little as possible in the existing system. More specifically, the design approach was formulated to achieve the following goals: ➢ Minimize the number of existing collection wells under the recreational fields and parking facilities; ➢ Prevent the movement of the existing subsurface system of collection wells; ➢ Move control valves for existing wells to areas away from fields for ease of future operations and maintenance; ➢ Construct manholes over wells so that they could be accessed in future if necessary; and ➢ Allow condensate to continue to drain to the existing collection tanks. merican ivil W* WASTE MANAGE M° N_3©onstructors E111T Golder Associates 4 Development of a Recreation Facility on Former Landfill Site in Denver In order to achieve these goals, the control valve for each well was located along existing laterals but in an area outside of the playing fields or parking lots. The controls for monitoring pressure and flow rates were also routed along these laterals so that these parameters could also monitored at the remote valve locations.

UNIQUE CIVIL ENGINEERING /LANDSCAPING CONSIDERATIONS There were several unique civil engineering and site planning aspects to this project. The design of the project arranges the fields around a central parking "pod" with a single access road. The purpose of this was twofold: to facilitate safety and ease of pedestrian movement between cars and the fields, and to limit movement on the rest of the landfill cap outside the sports complex. The theme of the master plan was "trash to treasure," converting a landfill to a recreation complex, with an emphasis on the use of recycled materials — a natural theme considering the function of the landfill itself. Five recycled products were used in the construction of the project: ➢ rubber as infill in the synthetic turf ➢ rubber parking blocks WIA merican ivil WASTE MANAGEMENT onstructors Games 5 Development of a Recreation Facility on Former Landfill Site in Denver ➢ asphalt for the parking lot ➢ crusher fines which were a by-product of a stone crushing operation ➢ concrete blocks from the old Stapleton Airport runways for a retaining wall Because the original cap was graded at a constant 5% slope and most of the new fields were to be at a 1% slope, and because no cuts were allowed to be made in the existing clay cap, the entire area had to be filled. The amount of fill ranged from two feet to fifteen feet. Every source of soil was analyzed for its engineering properties by Golder to assess the potential for future settlement or swell. All soil materials were placed as structural fill to a dry density of ninety-five percent (95%) of the maximum dry density and strict moisture content requirements to limit the potential for settlement or swell in the future. The goal was to create a fill that would not add any appreciable settlement to that that could be attributed to the ongoing decomposition of trash in the landfill. Various ideas for the use of the landfill were being promulgated as early as the late 1980's. In the late 1990's the designers analyzed the feasibility of putting grass fields on the landfill. However, the landfill's owner was wary of introducing any water at all on the landfill cap. Additionally, the SSPRD did not want to install the old short and stiff "Astroturf' type artificial turf because of problems with injuries and its expense. It was the recent commercial viability of infill synthetic turf that provided SSPRD with an opportunity to finally develop the top of the landfill. This new synthetic field allows continuous, year around play during park hours. This project is one of the first uses of infill synthetic turf on a closed landfill in the country. The baseball field had to have a high school regulation sized backstop. There are two unique features of this backstop. ➢ The foundation is in only two feet of fill soil and employs a steel and concrete "outrigger" foundation to ensure the stability of the thirty foot tall backstop in high winds; and ➢ Because of five nearby radio towers and the potential danger of microwaves heating metal over ten feet high on top of the landfill, only the bottom ten feet of the backstop are made of steel. The top twenty feet are fiberglass poles slipped over the bottom metal posts, and nylon netting. The prohibition of the use of any water on the site eliminated any use of trees, shrubs or turf grasses. Only native grasses were used in off -pedestrian areas. All areas which were used for pedestrian access were paved with crusher fines or roadbase material. This material, like the recycled asphalt in the parking lot, is flexible if the landfill subsides, and low areas can easily be filled and graded.

MONITORING Prompted by a decrease in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and a decrease in the mass of VOCs removed by the groundwater dewatering system, an evaluation of natural attenuation was conducted. The evaluation assessed whether natural biodegradation (natural attenuation) processes were occurring that could effectively reduce concentrations to levels that are not harmful to human health and environment. The evaluation indicated there was adequate to strong evidence that natural attenuation processes were occurring within the shallow groundwater zone and at a rate great enough to prevent VOCs from reaching the nearest downgradient potential exposure point. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment concurred with the conclusions of the evaluation and authorized decommissioning of the groundwater recovery system in favor of Monitored Natural Attenuation as the appropriate corrective action for the shallow groundwater zone. A groundwater monitoring plan was prepared to monitor the shallow groundwater after the recovery system was shut down. The purpose of the monitoring is to document that natural attenuation is occurring and will continue into the future. The plan includes continued sampling of three monitoring wells twice per year. Landfill gas probes staged at different depths are placed around the site boundary to monitor and demonstrate regulatory compliance. These probes are monitored on a quarterly basis. The closed landfill has retail development along its northern and western boundaries as well as residential development along the remaining northern portion of the site boundary. Ongoing maintenance of the active landfill gas control system has been required to comply with the regulatory standard. These maintenance activities have included replacement of probes, re - leveling and reconnection of header lines, and installation of additional collection wells and active barriers. 7. CONCLUSIONS The former CLL presented a unique opportunity to recycle an 85-acre landfill into athletic playfields. This year-round amenity will help fill a critical shortage of athletic fields for SSPRD and will provide thousands of youth and adults with a variety of recreation activities. The project is totally sustainable and can be maintained in a cost-effective manner. The fields will be available for play year-round. Because of reduced maintenance costs (compared to a typical irrigated playfield), the SSPRD will recoup its development investment in eight years. The potential environmental impacts have also been addressed by preserving the integrity of the existing landfill. The development has become a model for other recreational agencies and school districts, who have expressed interest and the visited the former landfill site, which is now a community asset. This project will be provided with an educational kiosk, built from WMC funds, which will contain refuse and signage outlining the site's history and transformation.

Notary Public - Brazos County, Texas My commission expires: Staff Present: Ric Ploeger; Pete Vanecek; Pam Springfield Members Present: Jodi Warner; Jeannie McCandless; Gary Erwin; Gary Thomas; John Crompton Members Absent: Glenn Schroeder; Carol Blaschke; Kathleen Ireland; Harry Green Guests Present: Steve Arden, Brazosland Realty 1. Call to order. The meeting was called to order by Jodi Warner at 12:10 p.m. 2. Pardon and possible action concerning reauests for absences of members. Four members had turned in requests for absence - Glenn Schroeder, Kathleen Ireland, Carol Blaschke, and Harry Green. 3. Site visit, discussion, and Possible action regarding potential Park Land Dedication request for the Fojtik Subdivision N Park Zone 4 (North Forest Drive). Discussion took place regarding the proposed dedication. The subject was raised about the size of the dedication from a maintenance standpoint. Staff stated that if the land dedication was not accepted, there would be areas in the city that were underserved as far as parks were concerned, which would also mean that there would be small parks that would be over -utilized. As far as maintenance was concerned, size was not really an issue. If the dedication (park) was larger then it would require more maintenance. The comment was made that if all of the small park land dedications were turned down, in twenty years people would be complaining that there weren't enough parks. One of the members added that the number one complaint in their neighborhood was that there was no place for children to play. Gary E. made a recommendation to accept the land that was offered in the conceptual plan. Jeannie M. seconded the motion and the vote was called. All were in favor and the motion passed unanimously (5-0). A site visit was not made. 4. Adjourn. A motion to adjourn was made by Gary T. and John C. seconded. The vote was called and the motion carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 1:15 p.m. 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.

Acreage in floodplain: 0 Percentage: Acreage in detention: .88 acre Percentage: 1.9% Acreage in greenways: 0 Percentage: Comments: Section 10-F (of the Park Land Dedication Ordinance) 10-F. 1 Any land dedication to the City under this section must be suitable for park and recreation uses. Consideration will be given to land that is in the floodplain or may be considered "floodable" even though not in a federally regulated floodplain as long as, due to its elevation, it is suitable for park improvements. (a) Neighborhood park sites should be adjacent to residential areas in a manner that serves the greatest number of users. Comments: (b) Neighborhood park sites should be located so that users are not required to cross arterial roadways to access them. Comments: (c) Sites should not be severely sloped or have unusual topography which would render the land unusable for organized recreational activities. Comments: (d) Sites should have existing trees or other scenic elements. Comments: (e) Detention/retention areas will not be accepted as part of the required dedication, but may be accepted in addition to the required dedication. If accepted as part of the park, the detention/retention area design must be approved by the City staff and must meet specific parks specifications. Comments: Approximately one-half acre of proposed detention pond is shown in 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. 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. Very little street frontage for access. HOA Park area has close to 400' street Comments: frontage. (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 a special meeting of the Board on September 21, 2005 they voted unanimously to accept the land dedication of three acres in easement.

The proposed master plan is about what I expected. I feel that the utility easement is an important greenways acquisition for the connectivity that we've long talked about. I don't feel however that it should be a neighborhood parkland dedication. With Raintree Park and Emerald Forest Park (each probably about one half mile from this proposed subdivision), I think that the cash dedication would be better since a more usable neighborhood park land dedication would only be about 1 -1 1/2 acres. That's my input. Let me know if you have any questions.
