DATE: October 16, 2006
RE: Sale of 8 acres of city-owned property south of Huntsville Road to
Habitat For Humanity
Mayor Coody and Tim Conklin have been working with Patsy Brewer
and Jim Culberson of Habitat For Humanity in an attempt to create an
innovatively designed, ecologically friendly, affordable housing
development in Fayetteville. The Fayetteville City Council has always been
a strong supporter of Habitat For Humanity and its work to provide truly
affordable housing for those willing to invest their own "sweat equity" in
their house.
The University of Arkansas Community Design Center is now
partnering with Habitat in an effort to provide a demonstration project for
innovative stormwater management techniques and creative home designs.
Aaron Gabriel is the Project Director and will be applying for grants to help
maintain the truly affordable nature of this Habitat development.
On January. 16, 2001 , the City of Fayetteville purchased about 19
acres of land south of Huntsville Road to save money the City would
otherwise need to spend on drainage and stormwater management problems.
This land had been appraised by Mark Risk for $ 158,000.00. The City
purchased it for $ 151 ,000.00.
As you remember, the City has entered into a 99 year lease with
Seven Hills Homeless Center for about 3 .5 acres of this property. That
transitional housing development is about to occur although the private drive
from Huntsville Road to the Seven Hills' property probably needs to be
upgraded to city street standards to access the remaining city property
(including the 2.2 acres leased to Sage House).
Although the City purchased this property for about $8,000.00 per
acre in 2001 , property values have increased dramatically in the ensuing five
and a half years. The City must legally obtain fair value for its taxpayers
from the sale of any of its property. However, the City Council is granted
wide discretion by the Court to determine this fair value.
We sold more desirable land to the Peace at Home Shelter for
$30,000.00 per acre a year or so ago. We also sold more valuable land south
of Persimmon to private developers for about $31 ,000.00 per acre on
October 18, 2005 . The parkland ordinance has set the city-wide money in
lieu of land cost at $40,000.00 per acre. However, we continue to sell
industrial parkland for only $20,000.00 per acre.
The U of A and Habitat need to be the contractual owners of this
property by early November in order to apply for a large grant to finance
their design work for this proposed development. We could not get a new
appraisal done nearly quickly enough to allow the U of A to apply for this
grant.
Since the City Council may reasonably determine the fair value of city
property without formal appraisal, I suggest the value of the eight (8) acres
sought by Habitat For Humanity should be set at $ 19,000.00 per acre.
Although this is considerably less than our recent sales to other entities and
the $40,000.00 average value agreed upon for money in lieu of dedicated
parkland, it is close to the price of the nearby industrial parkland and
constitutes an increase of 137% over what we paid per acre less than six
years ago. Computing out this figure makes the total sale price for eight
acres to be $ 152,000.00 which is $ 1 ,000.00 more than what the City paid for
all nineteen acres in 2001 . I believe this figure is very fair to Habitat and
will help them provide affordable housing while also ensuring our taxpayers
receive their legally required fair value for their property.
Attached is Ed Connell ' s memo of January 5, 2001 , recommending
the 19 acre purchase for $ 151 ,000.00. Mr. Connell notes this 19 acres could
have many valuable purposes for the City including:
" 1 . Future parkland . . . . 3 . Lands for affordable
residential development . . . (Habitat For Humanity)
or 5 . The City could sell the land . . . and recover
a portion or all of the cost . . . ."
All three of these anticipated purposes for this 19 acres could be
accomplished by this sale to Habitat and dedication of at least the most
southern remaining portion as a neighborhood park. This is in addition to
the Seven Hills and Sage House leased parcels for transitional housing and
an area east of the leased parcels for possible additional development or
parkland.
Attached is a map which shows the leased parcels. The eight acres
needed by Habitat all lies south of the Sage House leased parcel. Also
attached is the proposed ordinance and Real Estate Sales Contract with
Habitat For Humanity.

FROM: Ed Connell, Land Agent
RE: 18.88 Acre Barker Property Purchase
Huntsville Road, Fayetteville
Pt. E'/s-NW'/4-22-16-30
Over the past two-three years, the city has undertaken a major drainage project for controlling storm water
from the SE side of Mt. Sequoyah, between Huntsville Road and 15'" Street. The project included
drainage resolution across portions of properties owned by William H. Barker Oils heirs at the current
time) and Charles Combs. The initial project envisioned open ditch over the northern portion of the
project and pipe along the southern portion. Anticipated cost of the initial project was approximately i
$180,000 to $200,000.
While Mr. Combs was willing and did provide the city with easements to construct the system along his
property, the heirs of William H. Barker were not satisfied with the plans to pull open ditch along a major
portion of their property. They further claimed that the city's approval of a subdivision development to the
east discharged additional waters on their property which caused irreparable damages in the southern part
of that property. They claim that they were never notified, until after the fact, that a subdivision (Cedar
Point S/D) was being considered adjacent to their property. They fiuther claim that had they known of the
development, they would have made their presence known to ensure adequate and proper handling of
storm drainage. They blame the city for their property damage and have, on occasion, threatened to file
suit. Their solution was to run pipe 36"- 48" all the way north to the outlet pipe of the subdivision. It is
estimated that to do the project as they desired would cost an additional $200,000. E;
This project made little or no progress overthe next year as the city was unwilling to commit to the
additional expenditure and the Barker heirs were unwilling to provide the city with casements. When Mr.
Barker passed in 1999, the heirs decided to sell the property (18.88 acres). An offer and acceptance was
signed with a third parry for $151,000 or $8,000/ acre. When this transaction did not materialize to a final
stage, the property came back on the market. As noted from the above discussion, the additional cost of
the drainage project exceeded the cost of the land and it was prudent that the city consider the purchase
thereof.
Fayetteville City Council
Barker Property Purchase
Agenda Memo
Page 2 of 2
The city can purchase the almost 19 acres for less money than would be spent to install the piping along the
east line of this property. By purchasing the property , the city can implement the open ditch system that
the city engineers believe adequate for this drainage system now or in the future and at the same time
eliminate the possibility of a law suit. If the property is sold to a third party, that party is going to expect
the drainage situation to be resolved by the city just as if the Barker heirs still own same. The city has
offered $151 ,000 for the property and the owners have accepted this offer (see attached O & A contract).
The city has had the property appraised by Mark Risk: $158,000 was his estimated market value. This
represents almost 19 acres of reasonable to good land within the city limits, with water and sewer available,
for a value of less than $10,000 per acre, which is a good deal for almost anything within the city limits.
If the city were to acquire the land;
(1) The city could eliminate the need to spend about $200,000 or ''/z the cost of the drainage
project.
(2) The drainage project itself could be forestalled to some future date when city departments
could be in a position to do the work itself at a much lower cost to the city.
(3) Once the project is completed, there would be a considerable savings in the cost of the
project and the city would have 19 acres of prime land for any and all kinds of purposes,
i.e., 1 . Future park land for soccer or ball fields.
2. Land for growing trees,
3. Lands for affordable residential development on the north side of said
property (Habitat for Humanity).
4. Lands for future city divisions locations,
or
5. The city could sell the land within a couple of years and recover a portion or
all of the cost of the drainage project.
(4). This property is zoned R-1 residential and has access to/from Huntsville Road. Parks &
Recreation have considered the possible purchase of the American Legion baseball field off
of Curtis Ave. This 5 acre tract, while being used for baseball purposes, could also provide
an access route to the south part of the subject property. This other acquisition can be
incorporated as required and/or finances are available.
It is the recommendation of the staff that it makes sense for the city to take advantage and acquire the
subject property at this time.

Habitat for Humanity of Washington County: Arkansas Natural Resources
Commission Demonstration Project
The University of Arkansas Community Design Center in association with the university's
Ecological Engineering Group is applying for a $350,000 grant to plan and design a
demonstration Low Impact Development (LID) for Habitat for Humanity of Washington
County. The Arkansas Natural Resources Commission is accepting grant application for
nonpoint source (NPS) pollution demonstration projects, due November 17, 2006. The
primary purpose of the grant is to plan a green neighborhood demonstrating urban LID
technologies that protect streams from NPS impact from urban development. The model
development will showcase new technologies in stormwater management that enhances
affordability while improving environmental functioning.
Project planning for this 8 -acre residential development will provide model templates
consisting of green streets, retention meadows, bioswale systems, pervious surface
parking, natural-scaped yards, and other stormwater facilities as a contiguous
neighborhood infrastructure. We will also develop a project publication illustrating new
techniques in urban LID technologies. Our proposal for green street implementation will
parallel the successful local Green Street program developed in Portland and the Street
Edge Alternative (S.E.A. Streets) program pioneered in Seattle. The project publication
will illustrate: 1) principles of green streets and related urban LID technologies, 2)
implementation procedures, and 3) LID applications in the Fayetteville Habitat for
Humanity project.
Should our grant application with the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission not prove
successful, we will pursue other grant programs.

The Arkansas Natural Resources Commission (ANRC) will be accepting Grant Applications for
nonpoint source pollution (NPS) management projects until the close of business, Friday, November
17, 2006.
If you are not the individual responsible for making grant requests,
please forward this to the proper individual in your organization.
Projects for consideration will be those that fulfill milestones as stated in the "Arkansas Nonpoint
Source Management Program, 2005 - 2010 Draft". Priority will be given to projects that
implement BMPs that have a direct Impact on reducing nonpolnt source pollution in the state's eight
priority watersheds (see attached map) and/or in a watershed In which a nonpoint source TMDL
(excluding Mercury) that has been prepared by the ADEQ. In addition to these requirements,.
projects are to be proposed on the 12 -digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) scale, address land
adjacent to a nonpoint source -related 303(d) listed waterbody, and have a monitoring component.
Education/Outreach projects will not be considered as a priority for the FY 2007 grant cycle.
Only complete Grant ApplIcations will be accepted. Furthermore, all Grant Applications must
identify a cause(s) and source(s) of nonpoint source pollution within the respective watershed's
project area. Load reduction modeling information should be included In the project workplan.
Please contact the NPS staff for modeling requirements and modeling assistance no later than
October 2, 2006. Those applicants who fail to contact the NPS staff after October 2nd will receive
the lowest modeling assistance priority.
Applying for a grant does not guarantee funding of the request.
At this time the EPA Final Guidance for the FY 07 grant cycle has not been received. Changes from
the procedures of past years are anticipated. Any changes will be sent immediately to those who
have contacted the NPS staff.

A Grant Application at a minimum will consist of the following:
• a fully developed, approvable workplan with specific targets defined,
a tracking mechanism to quantify results, specific timeline in which
task or activities are to be completed,
• estimated cost per task, complete budgets, justifications and
financial audit requirements
• model, and/or methodology for estimating NPS pollution reduction,
control or abatement
Grant Applications must be submitted by the close of business, November 17,
2006.
Starting September 5, 2006, the NPS staff will be available to work with and advise applicants in
the preparation of their Grant Applications.
Applicants are required to contact the NPS staff no later than October 2,
2006. Applicants that fail to contact the NPS staff may receive the lowest
funding priority.
Demonstration projects must Include a technology transfer element that will result In extensive
implementation of conservation practices or best management practices. Research is not eligible.
Applications are available from the NPS staff or by calling (501) 682-3901. Electronic submittal will
be accepted provided such application Is submitted In MS Office (2000 or later) format. If the
submitted file is not compatible with the ANRC's software, it will be the applicant's responsibility to
provide a suitable format Applications received by the ANRC after the close of business November
17, 2006 will not be considered for the FY 07 grant cycle.
The ANRC requires that section 319(h) grant recipients provide non-federal match in the amount of
43% of the entire project costs. In other words, for a project with a total cost of $100,000, the
recipient will be required to provide $43,000 in non-federal funds or in -kind services. The amount
of federal funds available for our example grant would be $57,000. Funds and services used as
match shall not be utilized as match for any other federal grant program and shall not in any way
be paid by federal funds.
Should you have questions or need additional information contact the NPS staff or your Land
Resource Specialist.

We met today with Seven Hills, Sage House, and Habitat for Humanity and all agreed to
move forward with common planning of the remainder property outside of Seven Hills
lease area. Sage House and Habitat for Humanity will go back to both boards with the
concept of planning the entire site that will mutually benefit all parties and the possible
relocation of the Sage House area to an appropriate area within the remaining property.
Staff has looked at the cross section and has recalculated the additional street cost to
approximately $53,455 by reducing the street from 28' to 24'. Habitat for Humanity has
stated that they will connect to the new street that would be constructed by Seven Hills if
the Sage House Board agrees to relocate within the commonly planned property.
