Approval of September 13, 2004 PRAB Meeting Minutes PRAB Motion: FAYETTEVILi 1F PARKS & RECREATION 2. Proposed Park Site: Barrington Parke Property Owners Association has requested for PRAB to accept approximately 13 acres of City owned land into the parks system. The land is located south of Highway 45 East, between Starr Drive and Fox Hunter Road. It is immediately west and south of the St. Joseph Cemetery. See attached map. The City has owned this property for the past 18 years. The land was acquired by the City in conjunction with a court order relating to the installation of sewer mains through the property. The land is zoned R-SF4. It contains a number of sewer and drainage easements. Madison Drive goes through the southern portion of this property, thus eliminating about .6 acre and reducing the total from 13.51 to 12.91 acres. Park Staff Recommendation: Parks Staff recommends accepting the park land on the north side of Madison Drive into the Parks and Recreation Division. Justification. This park is located within a half mile radius of Vandergriff, Crossover, and Trammel Parks, however, it is across Highway 45 from Vandergriff and Crossover Parks. The land would serve the recreational needs of the residents south of Highway 45 without the danger of crossing the highway. Barrington Parke Property Owners Association has agreed to assist in the maintenance of the undeveloped park. This agreement will be forwarded as soon as it is received by Parks and Recreation.
