PRAB Members Present: Ackerman, Bleidt, James, King, Thiel, Waite Staff Present: Clark, Dugwyler, Orzek, Nelson Guests Present: Tom Hopper, Lindsey Properties/Grafton, Tull & Associates Jim Lindsey, Lindsey Properties The Committee evaluated the property to determine feasibility for park land. Stone Street, running east and west, dead ends at the west point. The proposed Sang Street Apartments—development would not open up this street. Land dedication taken from the southwest portion of this property sits poorly for park ,needs. The Fayetteville Public School bus garage and warehouse is located on the south side of Stone Street adjacent to the tract of land. Because of the location of the bus garage and the dead end street, the southwest portion of this land does not seem feasible to develop as a park. The Committee felt that the southeast portion of the tract, where units #1 and #2 of the Sang Street Apartments project are proposed, appears more suitable for park development. This area would appear to better accomodate the development as well. Although parking would be limited, this could be developed as a neighborhood park. Hopper suggested the Committee accept money in lieu and discuss with the school system the possibility of a joint park project. Dugwyler doubted the junior high school would be willing to enter into a cooperative effort. Hopper stated that the developer preferred not to give land but would cooperate. He proposed the land dedication be given from the southwest section and construction not be delayed on the seven units on the north side of the property. Clark asked if the street plans indicated the projection of both Sang Avenue and Stone Street. Hopper was not aware of any discussions to open these streets, but he said they were required to give right of way in the event this was to happen in the future. The Committee felt the most feasible area for park 1 / March 4, 1997 • • • 4 Facilities Committee / fac0397a.wpd land would be located in the southeast portion of the property. The current plans indicate two units are proposed for this area. Hopper said if land was taken from this area it would probably reduce the total number of units in the project to 96 units. MOTION: KING/JAMES The Facility Committee made the motion to take the specified .2 acres per unit based on the final number of units from the southeast portion of land where unit 1 and of the project are proposed adjacent to Stone Street No Motion approved unanimously 6-0. A Lindsey arrived after the motion --occurred. He made several suggestions and offered alternatives to be considered. Hopper and Lindsey will prepare a proposal and contact Dugwyler to arrange a Facilities Committee meeting later this week for consideration. Meeting adjourned at 6:00 p.m. John Nelson, Parks & Recreation Clerk 2 / March 4, 1997
