Park Land Dedication: Development Name: Engineer: Owner: Location: Park District: Units: Total Acres: Land Dedication Requirement: Money in Lieu Requirement: Existing Parks: Developer's Request: Matt Mihalevich, Park Planner Park West at the Audubon Paradigm Development Enterprises, Inc. Tracy Hoskins West of Garland (Hwy 112), east of Dean Soloman Rd. and South of Hwy 112 (Across from the drive-in) NW Unknown number of multi -family & single family 140 Acres Unknown Unknown No parks within 1/2 mile radius. Clabber Creek Trail Corridor is located along the south portion of the property. Dedicate 7.18 acres of park land and additional land Staff Recommendation: Developer's Comments: Justification: 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. 6.

The additional acreage at Wellspring December 5, 2005 / 1 Park District: Units: Total Acres: Land Dedication Requirement: Money in Lieu Requirement: Existing Parks: Developer's Request: Staff Recommendation: Justification: will provide a minimum 50 foot wide trail corridor from the dedicated 19 acres of park land to the north property line of Wellspring near Hamstring Creek. Parks and Recreation staff will determine the exact acreage to be banked at Wellspring prior to preliminary plat of Wellspring. This recommendation would require a waiver of the Park Land Ordinance to the City Council due to the project including over 100 units. The proposed development will Include many park amenities including playgrounds, volleyball, basketball, grills and clubhouse with a pool. Additionally the Audubon wetland property is located adjacent to the development. Razorback Golf Course is located to the west. Fayetteville Public Schools purchased 70+ acres for a future school site northwest of this development. 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 December 5, 2005 / 2 commitment to the recreation facilities as stated as well as the green space on the sewer easement.

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 P.M. Minutes submitted by Cheryl Whillock. December 5, 2005 / 10 Paradigm DEVELOPMEN 1895-2 W.87", Fayetteville. AR 72101 December 14, 2005 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. 0 ,I 0 O O 4sem >fabd u a ,. ,banasfriiki 1 A•i,11:• Yi a* Y�me.also111e 110 asatansag 72,1ari Ems'; „.., TRAIL - TRAIL TRAIL TRA I � '::._ Y- ORGE.NSE:[ & ASSOCIATES CIVIL ENGINEERS ® SURVEYORS 124 WEST SL'.NBRIDGE, SUITE 5 • FAYEVi'EVILLh, ARKANSAS 72703 • (479) 442-9127 • FAX (479) 5S2-480?

December 14, 2005 City of Fayetteville Parks Board 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.
