PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD
Meeting Minutes March 5, 2007
A site visit to Walker Park was conducted at 5:30 P.M. to survey the location proposed
by Staff for the communication tower to be installed by Smith's 2 -way Radio.
Discussion continued during the regular meeting at City Hall.
Opening:
The regular meeting of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board was called to order by
Chairman Wade Colwell at 6:05 P.M., on March 5, 2007 in Room 326 of the City
Administration Building located at 113 West Mountain Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Present:
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members Colwell, Davidson, Burke, Davis,
Biendara, Mauritson, Hatfield and Bitter were present; Park Staff Edmonston, Coles,
Whillock, Curry, Wright and Jumper, City Horticulturist Netherland and audience were
in attendance.
1. Approval of February Sth, 2007 PRAB Meeting Minutes
PRAB Motion: Davis moved to approve as written and Mauritson seconded the
motion. Subsequently, Biendara recommended amending the minutes by
pointing out one of the proposed changes in the Criteria for Accepting Land was
omitted. The item under 'Trail Corridors' is in the 2nd bullet -point changing the
wording 'park land' to read 'trail corridor'. Bitter confirmed the omission;
Biendara moved to approve the minutes as amended. Bitter seconded the
motion. Motion passed unanimously by voice vote.

54 single family units and 328 multi -family units
Total Acres: 29 acres
Land Dedication Requirement: 6.87 acres
Money in Lieu Requirement $274,880
Existing Parks: None
Developer's Request: Dedication of approximately .92 Parkland and
money -in -lieu in the amount of $238,080 for the
remainder of the dedication requirement.
Staff Recommendation: Staff is recommending a minimum 2 acre parkland
dedication and the remainder as money -in -lieu.
March 5, 2007/ 1
Justification:
There is no other park located within the 1/2 mile
radius of the proposed development and the high
density of this development creates a need for
green space. The minimum recommended acreage
is consistent with the criteria for accepting
parkland.
Hank Broyles said Charlie Sloan would sell them two acres to donate to Parks to
provide for the required land dedication. This two acres is a portion of the land
near Owl Creek School previously conceptually approved by PRAB for a trail
corridor.
Biendara stated she had emailed residents of Fieldstone, for which she is
president of POA, regarding the proposal by Broyles. They responded by
indicating they prefer the total six acres of land required per the density
proposed by Broyles. The park located within 1/2 mile of Fieldstone is Red Oak
Park and is considered unsuitable by Fieldston residents due to the drainage
situation.
Broyles said dedicating six acres on site would not be possible. Six acres is 1/3
of the project and would cause the loss of 125 units substantially changing the
project. He said the project would be changed to commercial instead of the
currently planned residential in -fill if a donation of six acres were to be required
by the Board. He further stated the acreage value is $130,000 and the
Fieldstone acre value is $20,000 and the developer is already giving $450,000 to
Parks in real estate and money.
Colwell told Broyles he's the first to come to Parks and complain about the
green space ordinance in quite a while.
Broyles said he's the first to come with an in -fill high density project such as the
City asked for in the 2025 Plan.
Edmonston said she understood the developer's concern and having looked at
this development and the number of projected residents the Staff really wants at
least two acres.
Hatfield asked if the two acres proposed by Staff is workable within the
development.
Broyles said he could buy some property adjacent and put a two acre park at
that location along the boundary of the development. He said there are several
small parks within the development.
Hatfield pointed out with Wedington as a barrier Red Oak Park is not an option
March 5, 2007/ 2
for the residents in Woodstock. lie said he thinks a two acre park would be an
amenity on this project.
Biendara offered the fact the people in her neighborhood of Fieldstone does not
feel Red Oak Park is a good park. She said it's got drainage problems and is
washing away.
Davidson stated just because someone feels a park isn't a good park isn't reason
to
penalize another developer. It means the City needs to fix the problem and
make sure in the future good locations and good land is given for park locations.
Bitler asked if Broyles feels the small green spaces indicated on the map of the
proposed development are sufficient to appeal to the people he's hoping to sell
homes to.
Broyles said the size and amount is not as significant as how well it's utilized.
There will be two pools on some buildings and there will be many activities
planned. There will be a clubhouse as well as a gym planned.
Curry said the two acres along the creek proposed by developers would be wider
than the normal trail corridor offering space for other activities as well as a trail.
There could be picnic tables and the space will preserve the environmental
integrity of the creek.
Davidson asked why there is talk of only two acres along the creek and not the
six as required.
Broyles said he proposed the two plus the money -in -lieu for development of the
park.
Davidson said it will be Parks problem to provide for development of the park
and that land is more important.
Broyles said he would be happy to buy six acres from Sloan and Parks can pick
out which six acres of the pre -approved land Sloan has offered.
Edmonston asked if any park amenities will be associated with the small internal
green spaces within Woodstock.
Broyles said they were planning to install playground equipment.
Colwell said it seems the Board wants two acres with houses facing the park and
the alternate would be six acres along the trail corridor with wider areas for park
facilities.
March 5, 2007/ 3
Broyles said they could draft something up to meet those requests.
PRAB Motion:
Mauritson moved to table discussion. Davis seconded the motion to table. The
motion passed by a vote of 8-0-0. A special PRAB meeting will be held March
15th, 2006 at 5:30 P.M. for further discussion and a vote.
3. SW Park Land Dedication Fund Request: Lisa Netherland, Parks
Horticulturist
Parks and Recreation Staff is requesting approval of improvements to Wilson
Park to be funded from the SW Park Land Dedication Fund in the amount of
$4,100. There is ample funding in the SW Park District to fund this project.
The project includes installation of stone pavers at the new ornamental concrete
bench located near the Castle. This will create unity and provide a hard surface
to alleviate erosion and damage to turf. The new stone pavers will match and
tie into the existing paved walk that runs from the parking lot to the east
sidewalk. The funds for this bench were donated by Jimm Garlock in memory of
several family members, a plaque will be installed at the foot of the bench.
This project would also include installation of five to seven boulders
approximately 5 ft. x 2ft x 1.5 feet to function as a retaining wall, as well as to
soften a steep slope that was created by the construction of the curb on
Prospect Street. The boulders will be selected to match existing boulders
previously installed in the north ornamental garden.
PRAB Motion:
Davis moved to approve $4,100 of SW Park Land Dedication Fund to pay for
improvements to Wilson Park as listed above. Mauritson seconded the motion.
The motion passed by a vote of 8-0-0
4. Walker Park Cell Tower Proposal: Dave Reynolds, Smith Radio Project
Manager
The City is in the process of an agreement with Smith Radio to construct a cell tower at the
new Fire Station located in Routh Park. Smith Radio is also interested in locating a cell
tower in Walker Park. Staff has toured the site and found that the best location would
be adjacent to the parking lot located on Block and 13th Street. The tower would be
located on the northeast corner of the parking lot. The site was visited during the 5:30 pm
tour. Dave Reynolds presented the proposal for the cell tower during the tour and also
attended the meeting following the tour.
Colwell said the City has been given first right of refusal to provide the location for the
tower. Parks would collect revenues from providing the space.
March 5, 2007/ 4
Edmonston said the Board will decide if this tower is compatible with the setting in Walker
Park which the Board visited prior to this evening's convened meeting. The City will collect
revenue but Smith 2 -Way Radio will donate money which will be used toward the
completion of the Walker Park Mural project.
Bitler asked if Staff has a recommendation.
Edmonston said the revenue is enticing since it's for a 30 year period.
Dave Reynolds explained the tower will be built at some location in the Walker Park vicinity
due to the increased need for a tower in the area. Some location on commercial land will
likely be used if Walker Park is not approved.
PRAB Motion:
Hatfield moved to table the vote to the Special Board meeting set for March 15`h. Davis
seconded the motion. The motion passed by a,vote of 8-0-0.
5. Arbors and Springwoods-Bryan Cooper
Barber Group representative Bryan Cooper explained the following: On
December 5, 2005 Soloman Apartments was presented to Parks Board as a 420
multi -family unit development. At that time PRAB approved the developer's and
Staff's recommendation to dedicate 2 acres of park land to be located at
Wellspring and pay money in lieu for the remaining acreage requirement.
Shortly thereafter the development was sold and the number of multi -family
units was greatly reduced to 122. The 2 acres at Wellspring remained with a
condition -of -approval the deed for the 2 acres must be received by Parks and
Recreation Staff prior to issuance of the building permit. During the past year
Barber sold the Wellspring property to Lindsey. At this time the developer
cannot get building permits to develop the land as the deed for the two acres
was never received by Parks and Recreation. Because the new owner is not the
responsible party, Barber is accepting responsibility and offering money -in -lieu.
The possibility of Barber selecting other land to replace the two acres was briefly
discussed. However, ordinance requires dedicated land be in the same quadrant
as the development generating that dedication. Barber does not own any land in
the NW Quadrant at this time.
Edmonston said Staff is recommending accepting the money -in -lieu because
there is no available park land in the development and the development has
already been approved by Planning Commission.
Bitter said he feels there should be a penalty for the oversight on the Barber
Group and suggested $100,000 instead of the $47,946 required.
PRAB Motion:
Colwell moved to accept the $47,946 money -in -lieu. Burke seconded the
March 5, 2007/ 5
motion. The motion passed by a vote of 7-1-0 with Bitler voting 'no'.
6. Regional Park Update:
Staff met with the consultants working on the Regional Park development and
design on three occasions during the last week. Edmonston stated the concepts
are looking good and Staff recommendation for 12 soccer fields, 8 baseball fields,
4 softball fields and 2 amphitheaters will be part of the developing plan. The
consultants will be back in Fayetteville in May to begin the public meetings.
7. Other Business:
Colwell stated the Wilson Park bridge and trail project to be built on the east side
of the park really needs to be done. The people using the Wilson Park trail and
motor vehicle traffic converge at that location and it's becoming more dangerous
as more walkers and traffic use the area. Coles reported a site analysis has been
completed.
Bitler said in the planning of trails at Mt. Sequoyah Woods there is need for soft
surface as well as hard surface trails.
Edmonston reported the bids for the construction of Harmony Point Park have
come in under budget.
Wright announced the Annual Art Walk sponsored by Parks and Recreation
received the Program/Recreation Administration and Tourism award presented
by Arkansas Recreation and Parks Association at the annual convention held in
February.
Edmonston reported the Fayetteville Youth Soccer spring program has over 1500
participants this year. That amount represents the most ever in this program in
which boys and girls from three years to 16 years participate.
Colwell requested a volunteer to represent PRAB at the April meeting of the
Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks monthly meeting. Davis will attend the March
meeting and Hatfield volunteered to attend the April meeting.

Land Dedication Requirement: 6.87 acres
Money in Lieu Requirement $274,880
Developer's Request: Dedication of approximately 6.87 acres of park land
offsite along the south side of Owl Creek
commencing at Broyles Ave. with the approximate
acreage as shown in area 1 of the attached map to
satisfy the parkland dedication requirement.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends accepting the 6.87 acre parkland
dedication as proposed by the developer.
There is no other park located within the 1/2 mile
radius of the proposed development and the high
density of this development creates a need for
green space. This proposed land dedication would
provide a needed link along the Owl Creek trail
corridor. Additionally, it would provide acreage to
develop a neighborhood park with amenities for
recreation to serve the surrounding developments.
This park would be similar to Harmony Pointe Park.
Area 2 is the 3.43 acres to be dedicated from the
Justification:
March 15, 2007/ 1
Rustic Meadows addition that was approved at the
January 8, 2007 PRAB meeting. Charlie Sloan
stated that he would give a public access easement
from Area 2 to allow for trail construction to Owl
Creek School. This would almost secure the entire
Owl Creek Trail corridor from Harmony Ponte Park
to the Boys and Girls Club with the exception of a
couple of parcels east of Harmony Pointe.
Curry reported a meeting of Staff and Developers has resulted in a land
dedication which will tremendously increase the area of trail easement and park
land along Owl Creek.
Colwell observed the corridor is within the 100 year flood plain and asked what
sort of structures and park development can be done in that area.
Jumper said enclosed structures are not allowed in the flood plain and its best
not to place play structures in the flood plain.
Colwell said as we're developing a linear park with this corridor, will there be
areas wide enough for play spaces.
Edmonston said this corridor will be a link to various play areas and facilities
such as the Boys and Girls Club, Owl Creek School, and existing parks.
Hatfield said there had been a concern at the March 5 meeting for establishing a
two acre park for the Woodstock residents. He also expressed concern on the
visible lack of access from the platted lots as seen on the Sloan development
south of the creek.
Jumper said access has been part of the on-going discussion.
It was reiterated the three small pocket -parks planned within Woodstock will
continue to be part of that development and will provide some green space
and play areas for the residents.
Mihalevich said Sloan has said he will go ahead and give the trail easement along
the creek to Owl Creek School so that should some of the planned future
developments not happen, the trail will be secured.
PRAB Motion:
Colwell moved to approve Staff recommendation to accept Developer's request
as stated above. Davis seconded the motion and the motion passed with a vote
of 7-1-0 with Hatfield casting the 'no' vote.
March 15, 2007/ 2'
2. Walker Park Cell Tower Proposal: Dave Reynolds, Smith Radio Project
Manager
Edmonston provided an update stating at the last meeting the north parking lot
location at Walker Park had been mentioned as possibly a more desirable
location over the proposed location. She said Parks doesn't own all of the north
parking lot and the area has been designated a Parks and Tourism Outdoor
Recreation Grant Boundary in perpetuity. After considering other City lands in
the surrounding area it was determined none are within the area that will serve
the needs required for the cell tower.
Davidson said while in Ft. Smith he had looked for the tower Smith 2 -Way Radio
had placed there and to the credit of the manufacturer he could not find it.
Reynolds said if the tower is located outside the Park it will not look like a pine
tree but will have the same appearance as other cell towers. His company will,
however, construct it to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible because no one
wants a tower near them.
Edmonston said approving the tower on park land for a 30 year lease is a long
time for Parks to be responsible. If it's in a park we do have some responsibility.
Reynolds said Smith Radio will be responsible for upkeep.
Edmonston said she isn't sure she wants to have the City set this precedence
(commercial structures placed on park land).
Bitler asked should that area of Walker Park ever be developed would it possibly
be an obstruction.
Burke said everyone he spoke to was not in favor of setting the precedence of
placing towers in parks.
Colwell suggested placing it across the street on Salvation Army land could
benefit that organization and they could use the money.
Reynolds said Smith Radio has talked to the Salvation Army and the mini -storage
owners next door about placement on their land.
Mauritson said the fact it's going to be placed somewhere in that area and will
certainly be visible makes him think Parks should get the revenue for placing it
on park land.
Hatfield asked what would happen if the tower was no longer needed due to
advanced technology.
March 15, 2007/ 3
•
Reynolds said their contract with the City states if technology deems towers to
be obsolete the existing towers installed by Smith 2 -Way Radio will be
dismantled within a year.
PRAB Motion:
Mauritson moved to approve the placement of the cell tower in Walker Park as
presented. Davis seconded the motion. The motion failed by a vote of 3-5-0
with Davis, Mauritson and Bitler voting 'yes' and Colwell, Biendara, Hatfield,
Burke and Davidson voting 'no'.

RE• STONEBRIDGE MEADOWS — PHASE 6
Dear Board Members:
On behalf of our client, Meadows Enterprises, Inc., please accept this correspondence as
an official request to dedicate land to the City of Fayetteville Parks Department as it
relates to a proposed residential development. The proposed development is located
south of Stonebridge Meadows Phase 5, along the south side of Goff Farm Road.
Currently the site is 8.56 acres; however 1.69 acres will be split off for nine (9) single
family units. The remaining acreage is to remain part of the golf course. At the rate of
0.024 acres per lot, the total park land dedication for Phase 6 is 0.22 acres. The acreage
will be dedicated out of the remaining 4.95 acres reserved at Eagle Park.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you have any questions regarding this
project, please call me at 582-4234.
Respectfully,
WWI L

RE: Village at Shiloh Road CTA Job No. 071011-00
Dear Advisory Board Members:
We are submitting to you a proposed project titled Village at Shiloh on behalf of Triton
Homes, L.C. Triton is based out of Iowa and builds condominium communities across the
Mid -west. This project will be located on west side of Shiloh Road between Sixth Street
and Wedington Drive. The site contains 18 acres however, the upper 5 to 6 acres. they
would like to dedicate as Tree Preservation Area and Parks Land if that fits into the goals
of your board and the Parks and Recreation Department. If the Parks Land is accepted
by you all, then a Public Access Easement would be granted and parking provided on
the upper end of the project to serve the patrons of the park area.
Additionally, the Trail Master Plan calls for an on -street connection to be provided along
Shiloh Road. Portions of sidewalk have been constructed adjacent to the south,
however not to the width required for a trail, and a trail is constructed further north near
Persimmon that the planned trail would connect to. We would proposed that this trail be
constructed on the State Right -of -Way, with the developer accepting the burden of
securing the proper permitting, and meet frail construction standards. Additionally, if the
Park land were accepted, a trail connection could be provided for from the trail along
Shiloh up to the park land area provided there aren't grade restrictions due to the site
topography.
We appreciate your review of this project and look forward to your feedback. I have
attached with this letter a Site Plan and Parks Fee calculations. We've previously met
with Alison Jumper and Matt Mihalevich to discuss the project and their
recommendation was to allow the Parks Board to determine how our proposal fits the
goals of your board. For that reason, I've only calculated the dollar value equivalent
that will be due and would ask that we be allowed to work with staff in determining the
value of any land donation and improvements that could be used to offset the cash fee.
If you have any questions or need any additional information please don't hesitate to
call me at (479) 878-2475.

RE: Park land dedication, Park West
3155 N. College, Suite 201
Fayetteville, AR 72703
Dear Connie, Matt:
As per our meeting on March 28'", 2007, I would like to formally submit the enclosed information for
consideration by the Parks Department, Trails and the Parks Board. As discussed, we are requesting a
modification of our original a Park Land dedication agreement with the City of Fayetteville.
Through our studies over the past year, it has come to our attention that a very large portion of the area
slated to be dedicated to the city incorporates a natural spring channel that flows south to what is soon
to be the new National Audubon Center. On March 21 , we met on site with the Director of
Conservation of Audubon Arkansas. During this meeting, he showed great concern for the spring -fed
area and suggested the implementation of a much regimented maintenance program that would have
to be considered as an ongoing issue. It became evident the task could become a very expensive
undertaking for the owner of this property, and that there would be a continual monitoring of this area
by those who will concern themselves in these matters. It was also suggested, as professionals in their
respective field, that the Audubon Arkansas could become the stewards of this task.
After the meeting adjourned, I met with our hired Environmental Representative. He conveyed the
same concerns as did Audubon Arkansas. He suggested that if there was any way to reconsider what
property would be given to the city, it should be diligently explored. After much thought, I believe we
have come up with an alternative that will not only make for a better park and trail system; it will actually
include the opportunity for the cooperation of many environmental entities and educational possibilities
for the Fayetteville High School and the University of Arkansas
As conveyed yesterday, we are willing to stay with the agreement of which we committed to. However,
I would like to offer the following for your consideration
We have agreed to donate a total of 7.18 acres at the southeast corner of the Park West project, as
outlined on the attached graphic, "Exhibit A". The area to be dedicated over time offers some "open
space", and again, the riparian treed spring tributary that has presented some concern. My request is to
modify the area to be dedicated. The proposed area to be dedicated is actually somewhat larger at a
total of just under 9 acres as displayed on the attached graphic, "Exhibit B". As you can see, this area
is a little more lineal than the former. It also includes some environmentally sensitive area at the far
southwest corner of the project. However, this area is to be created wetlands which will not offer the
liability issues as those of the spring running through what is currently designated to be dedicated.
We believe there are many opportunities this modification can offer. We still have the availability of
open space and botanical areas. We feel we can offer educational opportunities that would involve
outdoor classes for the University of Arkansas and Fayetteville High School. We are currently
considering an outdoor classroom structure. Students will have the opportunity to study and leam about
their environment and the ecosystems that environment includes.
As we are requesting you place our request on the agenda of the April Parks Board meeting, we are
unable to include all the possibilities available to us Over the next several days, we will provide you
additional graphics and materials for your review. As always, we appreciate the Parks Department and
your willingness to work with us toward a common goal. We are truly grateful.
Sincerely,
7raCy x. 7-654///5 . p edenr
