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
January 19, 2006/ 2
Developer's Comments:
Justification:
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.
Hoskins presented the plan and
elaborated on the diversity of land use as well as
the desire to maintain open/green spaces. The
park to be dedicated by the developer will possibly
be maintained by the developer beyond the 10
years. The southern part of the development
includes an area for the City trail system that will
be needed to connect the East Fayetteville trails
with the West Fayetteville trail system. Hoskins
stated that the plan is to employee full time staff to
maintain all grounds areas of the development
including the trail and will therefore be able to
respond to problems that may arise in the parks
and public areas in a short period of time. He also
stated the parks and public areas will be open to all
and not restricted to residents of the development
only. Developers will use the expected money -in -
lieu that will be necessary over and above the land
dedication to build the park to Parks and Recreation
standards, but the expense of upkeep and
maintenance will be the responsibility of the
developers.
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.
January 19, 2006/ 3
PRAB Motion: Davis moved to accept the Staff recommendation to accept the
dedication of 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. Colwell seconded the motion and approval was unanimous with Bailey,

PROJECT DETAILS
Plan your work by describing the present condition, the method, materials to be used,
project helpers, and a time schedule for carrying out the project. Describe any safety
hazards you might face, and explain how you will ensure the safety of those carrying out
the project.
If appropriate, include photographs of the area before you begin your project. Providing
before -and -after photographs of your project area can give a clear example of your effort.
1 will set forth this project by obtaining the metal, wood, gravel, and cement from local
business and store donations. For the most part, this project is divided into four sections:
1) The Sit-up/Push-up Bench
2) The 2 -height Pull-up Mechanism
3) The Sign
4) The Foundation
Material and Knowledge Gathering
Bobby Luttrell, one of my scout masters, owns a landscaping company and is willing to
supply the tools necessary in order to build the station. 1 plan on getting as much of the
wood, bolts, and cement as 1 can donated by Meeks Lumber Company or Lowe's. As a
back-up, I have an uncle who owns Plunkett Distributing in Fort Smith. He would be
more than willing to donate any wood that 1 would be unable to obtain from my local
stores. Jimmy White, of my troop, is another contender that will improve the moral in this
project. Jimmy owns a welding shop in which he creates different car parts from scrap
metal. My Sit-up bench has a curved pipe feature that holds the person's feet in place
while using the mechanism. Jimmy will give me the best assortment to creating this
piece. 1 will also gather knowledge from him on how to come up with the Pull-up bars.
His welding experience will inflict a great deal of security and safety to the station as a
whole. I am hoping to get the steel edging donated by Westwood Garden Landscaping on
Highway 16. As for the fine gravel, if the city is not able to provide it, 1 can look into
Westwood as well.
Working on the Project
I plan on recruiting approximately 10 older scouts and about 10 adults to help me with
the project considering that this project may deal with some dangerous equipment. The
crew will probably consist of scoutmaster Carl Russell (Architect), Bobby Luttrell,
Rodney Hughes (Electrician), Sue and Jimmy White (Welder), Susan Byram, Sherry and
Jim Cribs, John Swayze, along with any other willing participants within the troop. 1 have
scheduled to work on 2 workdays (Sunday Feb. 19 and Saturday Feb. 25 from 9:00 AM
to 4: 30 PM on both days with a one hour lunch break for each day). I anticipate that the
structures will be built in the order above. The actual construction of the station
equipment will take place in Bobby Luttrell's workshop. Bobby also has a flatbed trailer
that will transport the structures. The sit-up bench will take about three to four hours to
build, about two hours for the sign, three hours for the pull-up mechanism, four hours to
build the foundation, and around five hours to put all of the structures on the designated
surface. Since this totals to about 18 hours, I am planning on meeting with a few older
scouts and adults on non-scheduled workdays to get some of the work out of the way.
Safety Precautions
Because this project will require the use of power tools, 1 plan on taking every precaution
necessary to ensure the safety of the scouts. First off; only the adults will handle the
dangerous power tools. Eye protection will be worn by everyone, whether using the
equipment or not, if they are near the work area. With the machines being so loud, I plan
on distributing earplugs to everyone within the work station. The main objective of the
scouts will be to measure the structures, help transport the equipment, and spread the
gravel within the foundation.
Materials
1) 3-2X12's lumber
2) 20-2in. wood bolts
3) 20 nuts
4) 2-7' metal beams with 2-4' poles connecting them
5) 2-4X4s lumber
6) I -2X8 lumber
7) Steel edging (12X12)
8) Fine gravel (2.5in. deep -not white)
9) 2 gallons of brown paint, 1 gallon of yellow paint
10) I -curved pipe (Approx. 5' -For sit-up bench)

project is located on the north side of Joyce Street, west of the Post Office and east of the
Lindsey office building under construction. Vantage Drive runs north and south through
the property and Stems Street runs east and west through the property.
The site drains to the southeast into a natural drainage way which continues to Mud
Creek. The site is approximately 50% wooded and 50% open field. Most of the trees on
site are Oak with some Cedar on site.
We have considered many options in the layout of this development in order to preserve
as many large `pods" of existing canopy as possible. The developer is planning to
construct 2 parking structures, approximately 2 to 4 levels, in order to eliminate the need
to clear large areas of trees for on -ground parking. We feel like we have worked with the
existing conditions as well as possible to create a commercial development without
completely clearing the site.
Please feel free -to-caA-if you have any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Jer Thompson, P.E.
Project Engineer

2005 Accomplishments
The grand opening of Frisco Trail was held on
January 18, 2005. This trail was constructed by
Sweetser Construction for $403,837. Frisco
Trail runs from Sixth Street to Center Street
and connects the new library to the downtown
district. As part of the Fayetteville Alternative
Transportation and Trail Master Plan, this trail
will connect to Scull Creek Trail which will
serve as the backbone to the city's rapidly
developing trail system.
Design Studio Workshop held meetings on January 12 - 14, 2005 to gather input
for the Community Park site from City of Fayetteville Staff, City Council, PRAB and
the public. Southpass Development Inc. purchased the property and is currently
conducting a boundary survey to determine the acreage to be donated for the
Community Park.
The Disc Golf Course was moved from Gulley
Park to Lake Fayetteville North Shore by Parks
and Recreation Staff. The new course features
18 holes meandering through trees and
meadows with views of Lake Fayetteville.
In February, Parks and Recreation Staff
renovated the restrooms and pavilion at Lake
Fayetteville North Shore at a cost of $2,611.
The walls of the pavilion were opened to
maximize the pristine view of Lake Fayetteville. Heaters were installed to provide
year-round use of the restrooms. In addition, Boy Scout Troop 142 installed foot
bridges north of the pavilion at Lake Fayetteville North Shore for a cost of $295 in
materials.
New lights were installed on two ballfiellds
located at White River Baseball Complex. The
new 70 foot, tournament quality lights meet
current lighting and safety standards for
competitive play. The lights were installed by
Lillich and Bossier for $263,414.
Fayetteville Parks and Recreation hosted the Arkansas Recreation and Parks
Association Conference on March 2 - 4, 2005. During the conference, Fayetteville
Parks and Recreation was awarded the ARPA Presidential Citation for the
overwhelming success of the event. The Champs League was awarded the
Therapeutic Recreation Program of the Year.
In April, Taylor Mack completed the design and printed the new Parks and
Recreation marketing brochure. The information in the brochure included a map
locating park property, listing of all parks, and a synopsis of Parks and Recreation's
mission and programs. The brochures were distributed throughout Fayetteville and
were published on the City's website. The cost of this project was $12,872.
On April 2, Parks and Recreation and the Tree
and Landscape Committee hosted the annual
Arbor Day Celebration of Trees. During this
annual event, Parks and Recreation Staff and
volunteers distribute over 1,200 trees to the
citizens of Fayetteville. Small containerized
trees of different varieties and educational
materials were distributed in coordination with
the opening of the Farmer's Market.
Homeowners were encouraged to plant these
trees to improve urban forestry within
Fayetteville. The Arbor Day Celebration of
Trees cost was $5,815.
Sarah Patterson was hired as the City's first Urban Forester in May. Since her
hiring, there have been 51 commercial tree pruners certified, 35 tree plantings, and
Chapter 167 of the UDC has been strictly enforced.
Parks and Recreation purchased an outdoor 15
x 20 foot cinema to show free movies in public
parks. Shrek, Spiderman, Willy Wonka and the
Chocolate Factory, Radio, How to Lose a Guy in
10 Days, and Grease were the movies featured
in 2005 at Walker Park. More than 650 people
attended the first Annual Movie in the Park
program. The original investment for equipment
needed to run this program was $16,499. The
operating expense for 2005 was estimated at
$2,500 excluding labor.
