A special Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meeting was held on site at Park Apartments on Park View Dr. The purpose of the meeting was to address park land dedication requirements. The meeting began at 12:10 p.m. I. Park Land Dedication Ordinance Development: Park Apartments (formerly Lakeshore Apts. 1988) Engineer: Crafton, Tull and Associates - Chris Parton Owner: Jim Lindsey Location: North of Joyce Blvd & west of Park Apartments on the east end of Park Oaks Dr. Park District: NE Priority: No Priority Assigned Units: 60 Multi Family Units Acres: 7 07 acres Land Dedication Requirements: 1.2 acres Money in Lieu: $22,500 15' Wide Trail Corridor/Money: .246 and $17,887.50 Existing Park Land: Lake Fayetteville (650 acres), Braden Park (2.25 acres), Mudcreek/City Wide Trail (19 92 acres), Sweetbriar (4 acres) Staff Recommendation: None 1. The development is located close to 650 acres of park land located at Lake Fayetteville and is also close to Mud Creek Trail 19.92 acres and Sweetbriar Park with 4 acres. 2. The development would require a land dedication of 1.2 acres. 3. Park Apartments currently has the following amenities for their renters: 4 gazebos, lake, swing sets, picnic tables, swimming pool, basketball court and tennis court. NOTE: This development previously came before PRAB in 1988 in which PRAB recommended to accept money in lieu of park land. Since then, Park Apartments has built 252 units out of the 360 units approved in 1988. Since twelve years has passed, we are bringing this back to PRAB for further recommendation. Mr. Parton reported Mr. Lindsey could not dedicate the portion of the trial, south of the development which connects to Joyce Blvd., because he didn't hold the entire share. However, Mr. Lindsey is willing to dedicate a trail corridor within the apartment complex. Mrs. Edmonston discussed utilizing the option of the post office land, but stated that it is too steep to place a trail on. Mr. Ackerman recommended taking the land/money contribution within the apartment complex and working with the developer for a pedestrian bridge access. Mrs. Edmonston stated that Parks and Recreation agreed to the land on the east side of the creek versus the west side to help the developer. Mr. Ackerman felt we should get the land now and in the future try to get the remaining trail corridor connecting to Joyce Blvd. MOTION: Mrs. Nickell moved to accept the 15ft wide trail corridor/money contribution and included working with developer/owner with regards to pedestrian access across the bridge. Mr. Ackerman seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the motion was approved 8-0-0. MINUTES APPROVED: MINUTES TAKEN BY DEC 0 4 2000 Tracie A Evans
