PRAB Regular Meeting
Land Dedication Requirement: 0.48 acres
Money in Lieu Requirement: $9,000
Master Plan Priority: None
Existing Parks: Asbell (10), Lewis (27), Friendship (.378)
Owner's Recommendation: Land
Staff Recommendation: Money in Lieu of Land
Justification: Lewis Park is across the street from the development and Asbell
is very accessible (See Map)
Mr. William Rudasill of WBR Engineering Associates stated this project was brought before the Planning
Commission two years previously at which time he believed the park fees were $125 per unit. Mr. Rudasill
said he had not been provided with a new fees schedule. Mr. Dale Schultz, owner/developer, has budgeted
only $125 per unit and requests donating land in lieu of money. Mr. Rudasill would like to donate the
required land on the west end of the overall piece of property. The dedicated easement for access would be
provided. Mr. Rudasill said it is financially unfeasible for his client to provide the $9,000 required in lieu of
land unless the fees were lowered back to $125 per unit. Ms. Edmonston said the park land dedication fees
were set by city ordinance.
Mr. Colwell said small parcels of land are usually considered if adjacent to existing park land. Mr. Ackerman
said there is an abundant amount of park land in the area, and this half acre would not fit contiguously with
existing acreage. Ms. Edmonton said park amenities were currently located within walking distance from
the proposed development. Citing maintenance costs associated with small parcels of land, Ms. Edmonston
recommnended money in lieu of land and explained the appeals process to Mr. Rudasill.
Mr. Schuldt said a copy of the park land dedication ordinance could be obtained from the City Clerk's office.
MOTION:
Mr. Ackerman moved to recommend money in lieu of a land dedication to satisfy the Park Land
Dedication Ordinance for the proposed Lewis Street Town Homes Development.
Mr. Stockland seconded the motion.
Upon roll call, the motion was approved 5-0-0.
IV. Red Oak Sign Donation Request:
Linda Doyle has requested to donate up to $1,000 for a sign to be located in Red Oak Park in memory of her
late husband Richard Doyle who was developer of the Bridgeport subdivision. Mr. Doyle donated and
installed the pavilion, basketball court, volleyball court, picnic tables, and trail.
Mr. Schuldt said Mrs. Doyle would work with staff on how the sign would read. Staff has suggestions for the
three areas (Bridgeport, Fieldstone, and Willow Springs) of Red Oak Park. Ms. Eads asked if this would be
setting a precedent, and Ms. Edmonton said she felt it was appropriate in recognition of Mr. Doyle's

contribution to the park. Mr. Ackerman said similar requests had been honored in the past.
MOTION:
Ms. Eads moved to honor the request of Linda Doyle to donate up to 51,000 for a sign to be located
in Red Oak Park in memory of Richard Doyle with Parks and Recreation Division staff having final
approval of sign type, content and location.
Ms. Nickell seconded the motion.
Upon roll call, the motion was approved 5-0-0.
V. Meadowland Park Land Meeting:

per acre. The developer, Butch Robertson, has consented to deed an additional six acres of land to Parks to
be banked on future developments in the southwest park district. The meeting will be conducted at 12:00

VI. Wade Colwell's Report on Central Park Observations
Mr. Colwell shared observations from a recent visit to New York City's Central Park and distributed an
anicle featured in the Smithsonian publication about the park. Mr. Colwell said there were no outside
ballfield fences resulting in large open space between the fields. Other observations included minimal picnic
tables, many park benches, large grassy areas, numerous vendors, a soft surface trail, and tiled bathrooms.
