PRAB Motion:
(size to be determined) for a trail corridor for Clabber
Creek Trail, then pay money -in -lieu for the remaining
dedication requirement based on the final number of
multi -family and single family units. The developer
also requests that Park West and its staff be allowed to
construct the park using the money in -lieu with
direction from the Parks and Recreation staff and
maintain the park for 10 years.
Dedicate 7.18 acres of park land and additional land
adequate to construct a 12' wide trail along the
southern edge of Park West. The exact size and
location would be determined by Parks and Recreation
staff. The remaining dedication requirement would be
based on the formula with the final number of multi-
family and single family units for money -in -lieu. The
cost to construct the park would be deducted from
this money -in -lieu requirement. The Park shall be
constructed in accordance with Fayetteville Parks and
Recreation standards with direction and approval from
the Parks and Recreation staff. A detailed cost
estimate and master plan including all park amenities
shall be presented to PRAB for final approval prior to
any park construction. Staff also recommends
allowing the developer to maintain the park for 10
years. Maintenance shall comply with the Fayetteville
Parks and Recreation neighborhood park service level.
Parks and Recreation Staff will secure a detailed
agreement outlining all elements of this proposal.
A neighborhood park is needed in this area to provide
recreational opportunities for the growing number of
residents. Maintenance provided by the developer will
help ease the increasing demands on the Fayetteville
Parks and Recreation maintenance staff.
** This recommendation may require approval of a waiver of the Park Land Ordinance by
City Council due to the project potentially including over 100 units.

Mauritson inquired if the amenities planned by the developers will be available to
the general public
Mihalevich said they would not be. They will be for the use of the development
residents who will also be responsible for maintaining the facilities.
Bailey asked if the proposed park and two acres of trail will provide connectivity
to the future proposed trail areas.
Mihalevich indicated that it will provide connectivity.
PRAB Motion: Mauritson moved to accept staff recommendation to bank
approximately two acres of park land to be located at Wellspring and
pay money in lieu fees with a waiver to Council for the remaining
acreage. There will be a Bill of Assurance to cover the developer's

Superintendent (report attached).
Marley asked if there is any future possibility of a City basketball program.
Wright explained that the City's contract with the Fayetteville Boys and Girls Club
provides for the 'outdoor programs to be sponsored by the City and the 'indoor'
programs, such as basketball, to be sponsored by the Boys and Girls Club.
December 5, 2005 / 3
Pawlik-Holmes asked how the City's programs translate into dollars.
Wright answered that in 2005, tournaments alone brought approximately a 1.8
million dollar benefit into the local economy in such areas as restaurants, hotels,
entertainment and merchant profits.
5. Park Land Dedication Ordinance Proposal: Alison Jumper & Matt
Mihalevich, Park Planners - (power -point presentation slides attached)
Jumper began the presentation by answering a question that had been asked at the
public meetings held in November. She said 33 parcels have been dedicated
through the Park Land Dedication Ordinance process and of those six remain
undeveloped at this time. Also, two are designated as natural areas and five are
undeveloped trails.
Ordinance Amendment Proposal #1 — lot splits, replats of subdivisions and
large scale developments...
PRAB Motion: Marley moved to accept proposed language. Mauritson
seconded the motion. Motion passed 7-0-0 with Harrison absent for the
vote.
Ordinance Amendment Proposal #2 - $555 for each manufactured home
unit....
PRAB Motion: Mauritson moved to accept Staff's proposal to omit the
manufactured home designation and calculate as single family homes.
Pawlik-Holmes seconded the motion. Motion passed 7-0-0 with Harrison
absent for the vote.
Ordinance Amendment Proposal #3 — The developer does not have the
discretion to pay a cash contribution in lieu of the dedication of land for the
establishment of this neighborhood or subdivision park. Staff recommends
omitting the section in the ordinance requiring major developments to
dedicate land unless approved by City Council.
Hill asked if this passes will the need for these developments to go on to Council be
waived?
Pawlik-Holmes asked if the amendment takes away the waver requirement or does
it also alter the requirement that land must be taken on developments over 40
acres or 100 units.
Edmonston stated that it does both.
Pawlik-Holmes stated that if it's not an exception to the rule any longer are we just
December 5, 2005 / 4
going to review these to the criteria we use already, then it takes away the notice to
the Council that here's a big development coming through and we're not accepting
land and it also takes away the requirement to accept land in the first place.
Edmonston said we review all requests under the same requirements.
PRAB Motion: Mauritson moved to accept staff recommendation. Bailey
seconded the motion. Motion passed 6-1-0 with Pawlik-Holmes voting
'no' and Harrison absent for the vote.
Ordinance Amendment Proposal #4 - Add the requirement of a written
request to the section in the ordinance under 166(K)(1)(i) Dedication in
excess. Staff proposes additional language. "The developer must present
a written request for banked land for future development to the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board."
PRAB Motion: Mauritson moved to accept staff proposal for additional
language. Pawlik-Holmes seconded the motion. Motion passed 7-0-0
with Harrison absent for the vote.
Land Dedication Formula Two Year Review:
Hill asked if the sample properties in the spread sheet are all vacant land with no
improvements.
Jumper replied per the information from Washington County they are either
residential vacant or agricultural vacant.
Pawlik-Holmes asked if this study is the most thorough research on this piece of the
formula that has been done for several years.
Jumper indicated that is the case.
Pawlik-Holmes asked what other pieces of the formula will change.
Jumper said the land requirement per unit, price of fee in lieu, and, if the decision is
made to change it, the 10 acres per thousand population.
Edmonston said the City has requested a full-blown census in 2006 but the data
won't be ready till the end of 2006 so it's important the fees be updated at this
time.
Hill stated the result of the census doesn't effect the decision on the formula.
December 5, 2005 / 5
Edmonston said the ordinance states the formula shall be reviewed every two years.
Mauritson asked if the consideration of using actual costs of the individual parcels of
land to determine the amount has been ruled out.
Jumper stated that it has been reconsidered.
Pawlik-Holmes questioned the equitability of requiring the same fee in all parts of
the City. She said is seems like a fairness issue due to costs of land being more or
less in different quadrants of the City.
Edmonston said using cost of land would cause an unequal issue for various
quadrants and the City Attorney, Kit Williams, said it was to our best interest to go
to an average cost of land per acre.
Marley asked how difficult it would be to go with a different formula for each
quadrant.
Jumper said that is a possible method.
Pawlik-Holmes reiterated that would raise the concern voiced by the City Attorney.
Mauritson said he'd be interested in what the City Attorney has to say about the
equity of a developer having to pay almost twice as much per acre for the park
dedication then he actually paid per acre for the land.
Langsner said the value of less expensive land today will most certainly go up in the
future so costs will balance out over time.
Pawlik-Holmes asked where the current figure of $23,000 per acre came from.
Edmonston said the previous method to arrive at the figure for the formula was to
call real estate agents and ask what the average price per acre was.
Pawlik-Holmes inquired if that was an average city-wide.
Edmonston said it was. At that time the price range was huge and therefore in
today's environment that didn't seem the best way to rethink the formula.
Hill suggested taking the list of properties used in the example to arrive at the
$49,000 figure, take out the two highest and two lowest and refigure for the results.
He reminded the Board that the figure they decide on will only be a proposal that
will go to the Planning Commission for review and then on to City Council for
approval.
December 5, 2005 / 6
Hill opened the floor for public comment while Jumper reworked the average figure
with the suggested chart revision.
Tom Terminella introduced himself and complimented the Park Planners and Staff
on the good job they are doing for the City. He said his interest falls into several
areas. He suggested that not only the parks fee formula but also the various
ordinances might need to be reviewed every two years to assure they work in
tandem with the developers for the good of the community overall. He said trails,
roadways and municipal services could be reviewed in order to be proactive with the
growth rather than reactive to the needs of the citizens.
He said he also wants to clarify what is acceptable ground for park dedication. He
believes it's especially important on the larger developments to make sure there is
land for the trail system connectivity. He said he also needs clarification on other
green spaces in developments that are not trail areas. He referred to processes
used in Tulsa, OK, and Springfield, MO. He said they are developing the detention
areas for public spaces thereby using otherwise wasted space that could actually be
used to create assets for the communities.
He stated the formula based on the average overall property values overburden the
developer that has done a responsible job of purchasing the land. He said that
under the new formula it is creating an unfair situation for those who purchase the
land early -on when prices are low but are now developing the area. He said that he
had been appointed to speak for the other developers because he lives in
Fayetteville and has an office here.
He suggested the most fair way to achieve a figure is to use the revenue stamps.
He said they cannot be manipulated because they reflect the sale price recorded at
the County Court House. He said the spread of costs of property is great across the
area ranging all the way from $10,000 to $60,000 and in many cases even more.
He agreed that the $23,500 per acre figure needs adjustment but suggested that
more than doubling it in the 24 month period since the last review is excessive. He
asked that more consideration be given on the task of picking a dollar figure for the
formula. He said he is supporting the department overall but asked for a fair
methodology for determining the new figure.
He suggested allowing the use of trail corridors be applied toward the parkland
dedication requirements.
Bailey asked if he was recommending the original consideration by the Board of
going with the sale price of land to determine the new value.
Terminella stated that he was and regretted not staying current on the discussions.
He said he believes market value is a better way to arrive at a figure than blended
(average) rates.
December 5, 2005 / 7
Pawlik-Holmes asked how he would suggest dealing with side-by-side tracts of land
that have a large sale price difference thereby affecting the parkland dedication
amounts for each tract at time of development. She stated though the dedication
amounts would be very different, the impact on the citizens of those communities
would be the same.
Terminella said perhaps different formulas based on density issues could be utilized.
Pawlik-Holmes stated that from the citizen's perspective the issue of lower priced
land in one quadrant compared to higher priced land in another quadrant means
that area won't have the quality or quantity of park area that is available in another
part of town. The Park Board has to come up with a figure that is fair to all citizens
and she asked how that can be reconciled from the developer's standpoint. She
said she believed Terminella has suggested a formula that is best for developers but
not necessarily the best for citizens.
Terminella reiterated that he doesn't believe the currently suggested formula is fair
to the proactive developer. He said the fees currently necessary to build a house
are pricing the average family out of the market in the Fayetteville area.
Mauritson asked if it's possible to determine how much land has appreciated in the
last two years.
Edmonston said she believes the average can be determined. She said that since
she has been with the City, each year the ordinance was reviewed they went
extremely low just to promote developers in the area and to help handle the impact
of the various fees.
Mauritson clarified the figures on the spread sheet are only for land sold within the
city limits and does not include any land outside the city limits.
Hill said he has some concern in passing on the decision at this time and feels a
figure needs to be determined because four of the current Board will term -out at
the end of December and will be replaced by four new members. Those four new
members will need to get up -to -speed on the issue and that would further delay a
decision. Therefore he feels this Board needs to come to a decision.
Pawlik-Holmes asked Jumper what the new figure is after throwing out the two
highest sale prices and two lowest sale prices.
Jumper said the figure is $39,407 per acre.
Davidson said he has always considered the purpose of the ordinance is to either
get land or money to buy land and if the money taken in isn't at market value of the
December 5, 2005 / 8
acreage in the quadrant there wouldn't be enough to buy additional park land. He
said he would like to understand the City Attorney's perspective on the overall
fairness/constitutionality issue.
Hill stated the Board needs to come to a decision on a number and send it on to
Planning Commission for review. He said there are two ideas — 1) market value per
acre and 2) average price per acre.
Pawlik-Holmes says market value doesn't provide equal treatment for all quadrants
due to diverse property values. She said the Board knew it was going up
substantially but probably didn't know it would go up as much as the figures in the
spread sheet indicate is necessary.
Edmonston said she would like the Board to pass to Planning Commission what they
believe is best. She volunteered to have the City Attorney meet with Board
members to explain his take on the fairness issue.
Mauritson said he agrees the Board needs to put something forward to Planning.
Edmonston said the Park Ordinance had to go before the Arkansas Supreme Court
at one time and was upheld by that court. Several changes were made at that
time. The way it has been done in the past has been upheld by the Court and so
probably the City Attorney is interested in continuing this approach.
Pawlik-Holmes said the figures on the spread sheet can be looked at in many ways.
Hill suggested this is a starting point and simply coming up with a figure to pass on
would be the best way to go.
Terminella suggested a $35,000 figure would be acceptable to him.
Hill closed the floor to public comment and asked for a motion.
PRAB Motion: Davidson moved to send the following motion to Planning
Commission — The Parks Board recommends using a market value based
formula unless that process is deemed unconstitutional in which case a fee
of not less than $40,000 per acre be set for Park Land Dedication.
Mauritson seconded the motion.
The motion was approved 6-1-0 with Hill, Mauritson, Bailey, Langsner,
Davidson, and Marley voting 'yes', Pawlik-Holmes voting 'no', and Harrison
absent for the vote.
6. Community Park Update: Edmonston reported the survey has been completed
on the land and they are now working on the park land area.
December 5, 2005 / 9
Langsner asked who will be responsible for cleaning up the landfill area.
Edmonston said Parks and Recreation has had communication with the ADEQ for
grant funding to bring the land up to code.
7. Other Business: Hill announced that four members of the Parks Board have
termed -out: Hill, Pawlik-Holmes, Marley & Mauritson will be stepping down as of
December 31, 2005. Edmonston thanked the outgoing members for their hard
work and dedication to the City of Fayetteville.
8. There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned by Hill at 7:45

City of Fayetteville Parks and Recreation
Dear Alison Jumper:
As follow up to our previous meeting, we with to submit the following proposal and request to be
scheduled for the January, 2006 Packs Board meeting.
Our Concept PZD, known as Park West, is currently in review by City Planners and is scheduled to be
heard at the December 12°t, 2005 Planning Commission Meeting. With Planning Commission
approval, we expect the first reading at City Council level to be on January 3iO 2006. However, we do
not expect approval on such a large project to be approved at the first meeting. This will allow a
window, between City Council meetings, for the Parks Board to evaluate and hopefully approve our
proposal.
Typically, land dedication or fee proposals are not addressed by Parks until preliminary plat review of a
residential development Due to the size of Park West the incorporated intricate design details and our
desire to somewhat deviate from traditional policy; we feel that park land issues should be addressed
on the front end.
Park West is a 140 acre mixed use development located along highway 112 (across from the drive in
movie theatre), north of the new Sam's Wholesale Club and east of Deane Solomon Road. The Master
Devebpment Pian is comprised of 15 individual planning areas. Zoning within these areas consist of
Residential RSF-4 (4 Units Per Acre) to Commercial Thoroughfare. There are specifically two Single
family residential planning areas. There are three fairiy small multi -family planning areas of
condominiums or apartments that may have some integrated retail space. The project in bulk land area
is mostly Mixed Use, Commercial, Park, Preservation, and Botanical
We have set aside various parks, preserved, and botanical areas within the MDP that total in excess of
twenty eight acres. These areas would Include open park space and tree lined trails (7.18 aces),
botanical gardens, preserved creeks, "tat -lots", and in some cases, detention as necessary. It is the
intent that all of these features be available not only to the residents and merchants of Park West but
to the Public at large as well.
As discussed, we wish to submit a proposal that may differ from the traditional land or fee dedication.
As opposed to dedicating land or fees, we wish to set aside 7.18 acres as "Deed Restricted Park Lancia.
This acreage has no environmental, terrain or flood issues that we are aware of We consider this
some of our most desirable (and developable) property. As development progresses throughout the
project, fees would be contributed for the construction and maintenance of park amenities for any
shortfall of the deed restricted park land. Park West and its staff will be responsible for the
development construction, and upkeep of the park, with direction from the Parks Department Staff, for
a period of ten years. We believe that more can be accomplished in a shorter period of time as Park
West owned property, as opposed to City owned.
• Page 2 December 14, 2005
* How It Happens — With development approval of the first residential planning area (PA -1), the
entire seven plus acres are restricted by deed. Traditionally, Park Land is dedicated based on
residential Final Plat approval; which would be piece by piece in this case. Park West has
several, infill residential areas. Once the 'Would be required dedicated acreage" reaches the
deed restricted acreage threshold, fees would be contributed by the Developer. These fees
would be deposited to an interest bearing working escrow account specifically for the "Park
West Commons". Development of the Park West Commons would commence shortly
thereafter. Preliminary designs and budgets would then be created and submitted for review
and input of the Parks Department; and Board, if necessary. Park construction would begin
shortly thereafter.
* Advantages (City) —
1. Bulk Park Land is available now as opposed to being pieced together over time.
Parks department doesn't have to review dedication time and time again.
2. Development and construction begins much sooner for surrounding
developments to enjoy. Currently, some Parks remain undeveloped for 10 years.
3. Other than keeping an eye on us, Parks staff doesn't have to worry about
mowing, weeding, planting, repairing, etc. for 10 years; maybe longer.
4. More bang for the buck — Contrary to Municipality owned property, there is much
more we can get for our money, as a private entity. We may be able to include
amenities that the City doesn't typically install. We have more flexibility in design
such as "brick paving" sidewalks as opposed to concrete, iron and wood benches
as opposed to steel or plastic, or interactive artistic features as opposed to
standard play equipment. We may incorporate fountains, or "spray -grounds". If it
breaks, Park West fixes it; not Parks Staff.
5. Cost saving to the Citizens — Other than participation in design, determinations of
fees due, and annual review of expenditures, the Parks Department spends little
or no money.
6. After 10 years, if the Parks Staff and Board feel we have done an adequate (or
better) job, Park West may continue the terms of the agreement 5 years at a time.
* Advantages (Park West) —
1. Bulk Park Land is available now as opposed to being pieced together over time.
We don't have to negotiate dedication time after time.
2. Development and construction begins much sooner for surrounding
developments to enjoy. Currently, some Parks remain undeveloped for 10 years.
We need the people and activities as soon as we can possibly host them. People
want to be where other people are.
3. More bang for the buck—Contrary to Municipality owned property, there is much
more we can get for our money, as a private entity. We may be able to include
amenities that the City doesn't typically install. We have more flexibility in design
such as "brick paving" sidewalks as opposed to concrete, iron and wood benches
as opposed to steel or plastic, or interactive artistic features as opposed to
standard play equipment We may incorporate fountains, or "spray -grounds" If it
breaks, Park West fixes it; not delayed by Parks Staffs availability or budget
constraints.
• Page 3 December 14, 2005
4. We have the opportunity to incorporate more amenities, in harmony with other
landscaped and botanical features within the project; continuity.
5. We know what's going to happen; no surprises. We know where the park
boundaries are. Fees are predetermined. We save time (any money) each time
any residential preliminary plat or LSD is submitted.
Our proposal offers something more beneficial to the Parks Department, the Citizens and helps insure
the viability of our project. We appreciate your consideration and we look forward to working out an
agreement that will benefit alt We believe our proposal is a win-win for everyone.

RE: OLD FARMINGTON ROAD
PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL PZD
Dear Board Members:
On behalf of our client, S&M LLC, please accept this correspondence as an official
request to pay money in lieu of land dedication to the City of Fayetteville Parks
Department as it relates to a proposed Residential Planned Zoning District. The proposed
project encompasses approximately 5.06 acres consisting of 17 residential lots and
approximately 1.15 acres of tree preservation. The proposed development is located on
Old Farmington Road approximately 0.25 miles west of Shiloh Drive.
The property is within A mile of Finger Park to the southeast. The proximity to Finger
Park, the relatively small size of the development, and the proposed tree preservation area
are the primary reasons for the request of money in lieu of land. At the current rate of
$555 per lot, the contribution to the parks fund would be $9,435. Thank you for your
consideration in this matter. If you have any questions regarding this project please call
me at 582-4234.
Respectfully,
2758 Millennium Drive Suite 1 Fayetteville, Arkansas 72703 Phone: 479.582_H2EI Fara 479.582.9254
