Meeting Minutes March 6, 2006
Opening:
At 5:00 P.M. the Board members along with Parks Staff toured three properties subject
to consideration during the Board meeting. On arrival at City Hall the regular meeting
of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board was called to order by Chairman Wade
Colwell at 6:30 P.M. on March 6, 2006 in Room 219 of the City Administration Building
located at 113 West Mountain Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Present:
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members Bailey, Langsner, Davidson, Davis,
Bitler, Burke & Colwell; Park Staff Coles, Jumper, Wright, Whillock, Edmonston, Trails
Coordinator, Mihalevich, and audience were in attendance.
1. Approval of March 6, 2006 PRAB Meeting Minutes: Davis moved to accept
the minutes as presented and Bailey seconded the motion. All members voted to
approve.
2. Trail Coordinator Announcement: Connie Edmonston, Parks and Recreation
Director, announced that Matt Mihalevich has been selected to be the Trail
Coordinator for the City.
3. Lafayette Lofts Park Name and Plaque Recommendation: Marie Riley,
Washington Willow Neighborhood Association representative, reported the name
chosen for the park is St. Joseph Park. This decision is the result of an extensive
e-mail driven survey of association members. She presented Parks and
Recreation with a $1,500 donation from neighborhood residents toward the trees
to be planted in the new park.
PRAB Motion: Langsner moved to remove the previous park name from its
current tabled position, Davidson seconded the motion. The new name, St.
Joseph Park, was accepted unanimously by the Board and was immediately
tabled for the final park name approval at the April Board meeting according to
the Facility Naming Policy.
4. Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks 2005 Annual Report: Cathy Bass, Board
President reported that work on the Botanical Gardens Center at Lake
Fayetteville is back under way after delays caused by the need to obtain an
archeological survey of the area. The survey revealed that no significant
archeological history is present in the selected area. The budget for the facility
has been redone and the Outdoor Recreation Grant was approved for
$115,128.00. She thanked Parks and Recreation Staff for helping with that
request process. She said the grand opening for the new facility is scheduled for
October 7, 2006.
March 6, 2006/ 1
Bailey inquired what sorts of events will be held in that location.
Bass stated that partnerships with several local museums and various
educational programs will be just a few of the events to look forward to.
Colwell asked Bass to tell about the building structure itself. Bass explained that
the wood used in the building is recycled, previously used product.
Wade inquired as to the status of the parking lot. Bass said the parking area will
also be used as a trailhead for the Lake Fayetteville trail, giving people another
spot to conveniently access the trail around the lake.
5. Greenway and Conservation Easement Discussion: Frank Sharp, who lives
on Kessler Mountain southwest of Fayetteville, explained his proposal for land
near the proposed Southpass Development off Cato Springs Road in Southwest
Fayetteville. He said two ways of protecting land from future development is the
Nature Conservancy and The Ozark Regional Land Trust groups. He inquired if
the Board thinks the City should accept conservation easement land and would
then maintain it. He said he didn't want an answer but he just wants the Board
to give it some consideration.
Colwell said this is a wonderful opportunity and he appreciated Mr. Sharp's
forward thinking. He expressed that he is strongly in favor of creating the green
spaces to connect various areas of the city as well connect the parks.
Burke asked for an explanation of a conservation easement.
Sharp stated that in a conservation easement, examples of activities allowed are
the cutting of only diseased wood and open area may be used for pasture land.
Or, the land owner can determine other uses and the land would be limited to
those uses. Land is appraised at a lower value and the land owner is
compensated for devalue of land with a tax credit.
Edmonston stated she hopes more offers of conservation easements to preserve
our mountain tops and wooded areas will be forthcoming.
Bailey asked if we have any other conservation easements and Edmonston said
only Bayarri Park has a small area.

13. Trails Discussion: Matt Mihalevich, Trails Coordinator
Connie announced the new trail map is being developed and will soon be
ready for distribution.
Matt began with an update on current trail construction and future trail
plans. He said that Combs Trail is newly completed from Morningside to
Armstrong in the industrial area adding .79 miles to the trail system. He
also said the .21 mile Crowne trail is currently under construction from
Beachwood to Razorback road and will include a 50' long bridge over Town
Branch Creek. He then discussed the plan for Skull Creek Trail which is
currently the highest priority on the trail development list. The north
March 6, 2006/ 7
section from Van Ashe extension to Gordon Long Park will likely be
constructed first. Most of the easements in this approximately 1 mile
section have been obtained and construction could begin within a month or
two. Clabber Creek Trail is scheduled for the summer months when the
ground is dry due to the fact that much of the .78 mile trail is near wetland
areas. A short connection along Zion Road between Vantage and the
Veterans park entrance is also in the works. The Frisco trail extension
along the Nadine Baum Studios and the building just to the west will
proceed once the electric poles are relocated. At that time construction will
begin on the trail segment from Meadow Street to the Walton Arts Center
parking lot.
He also announced that trail distance markers are being developed and will
soon be placed on all existing trails.
Davis asked about the plans for the continuation of Skull Creek Trail.
Mihalevich said the trail will meander south in the general area of Gregg
Street. He said it will connect many multi -family Sweetser apartment
complexes. There will be a crossing over North Street and then connect
with Wilson Park and continue along the railroad tracks to Dickson Street.
Matt then began discussion of the Lake Fayetteville trail and a number of
citizens were in attendance. Matt reported the paved trail would, as much
as is possible, be separated from the natural surface trail popular with
runners and bikers. He said they are putting educational kiosks along the
trial detailing points of interest. He also said that one of the most
important aspects of the paved trail is providing an accessible way for
people of all ages and abilities to experience the natural beauty of Lake
Fayetteville.
The trail will be considered a transportation trail as well as a recreational
trail when the connection across Highway 265 is established to the Copper
Creek housing area.
Colwell suggested several locations around the lake where trail heads
should be considered. He also reiterated the trails on the south side of the
lake cross extreme terrain in several areas making the creation of ADA
accessibility very difficult. He suggested the paved trail continuing around
the lake be adjusted to a southerly route that would put it on more level,
open area that may become available for the City to acquire as
development along Zion continues. He also suggested, again, his hope
that more soft surface materials will be used.
Mihalevich explained that soft surface trails are prone to washing out in
times of excess rain and create a maintenance issue.
March 6, 2006/ 8
Bailey referenced a comparison of various type trails to the City's
development of ball fields for each type of sport. He said for a mountain
biker to achieve the ultimate experience he needs one type of trail where a
casual biker/walker would use a different type of trail. He suggested
getting the various user groups together to find out their diverse wants and
needs so everyone feels heard and has a chance to express their opinion.
Matt said the plan is to get more open communication going which, he
admitted, has been lacking in the past.
Bitler asked about the time -frame for the continuance of building the Lake
Fayetteville trail. He wonders if there is time to get discussions underway.
Mihalevich said fall is the soonest the work will continue on that trail.
There are several other areas in the trail plan that are being worked on
right now.
Davis stated he had recently walked the south side trail of Lake Fayetteville
and the beauty of the area should not be kept from any citizen. There
needs to be a way to make it accessible to everyone walking around the
lake. He reminded the Board that the bridge was built to provide complete
access to the entire lake by all who wished to access it.
Scott Starr, Ozark Botanical Gardens Director, stated where he or the
group he represents does not immediately oppose the trail, they would like
more opportunity to create an opinion.
Kevin Bennoch of the Lake Fayetteville Environmental Study Center said
the Center would benefit from the trail. He believes it will be an
educational path for citizens. His concern is for the south side of the lake.
He suggested keeping biking trails natural. He thanked the Parks
Department for their forthrightness and explanation. He thanked the
Department for working together with all the citizens to achieve the right
design for all citizens.
Jennifer Michaels suggested there simply needs to be more discussion.
She has done some research by talking to users of the trail and the results
were 50% for paved trail and 50% for keeping it natural.
Colwell proposed having a public meeting to gain more public input to gain
more good ideas such as received at this meeting.
Davis stated he believes the idea is to leave what is already there in the
trail existing and develop something brand new for the all purpose trail.
March 6, 2006/ 9
Bailey stated having open communication and knowing the City is actually
listening to what's being said is very helpful.
Davis moved to allow the City to pave the trail to the Botanical Gardens
with as much separation of two types of trails as possible and take another
look at what would be the best way, using public input, to do the South
side trail. Langsner seconded the motion and the Board approved
unanimously.
Community Park Update: No report.
14. Other Business:
Park Land Dedication was approved 6-0 by the Planning Commission on February
27, 2006. This will be presented to City Council at the 6:00 p.m. April 4, 2006.
Monroe Harrison has submitted his resignation from PRAB. Interested citizens
must submit their application to the City Clerks Office.
15. Adjournment by Chairman Colwell at 8:30 P.M.
Minutes submitted by Cheryl Whillock
March 6, 2006/ 10
Based on a four week online open vote, the Washington Willow
Neighborhood has voted in favor of St. Joseph Park as the name for our
new neighborhood park.
St. Joseph Park is chosen to commemorate the historical significance
of the site to be memorialized for generations to come.
A History of St. Joseph Church
Gretchen Gearhart
As the people of St. Joseph Parish, Fayetteville, Arkansas, moved to a
new home on Starr Road in August 2002 after 130 years on Lafayette
Street, it seems appropriate to look back to their beginnings and tell
the story of the Catholic community in Fayetteville from 1844 to the present, of
the valiant priests and lay people who
served the church as it developed from the small Irish community of
worshipers to a thriving multi -cultural parish of more than one
thousand families.
On March 10, 1844, the year after the creation of the Diocese of
Arkansas, the ordination of an Irish-born priest, Andrew Byrne, as
Bishop of Arkansas took place at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York
City. Soon after, he and two priests, Fathers John Corry and James
Donahoe set out for Arkansas by way of New Orleans, arriving in Little
Rock on June 4.
Not long after their arrival Bishop Byrne sent Father Corry to Fort
Smith to build a church. Father Corry was a man of independent means,
having been a merchant in Boston prior to ordination. While stationed
in Fort Smith, he traveled over the Boston Mountains, no doubt by
horseback, to Fayetteville, where he purchased 440 acres of land for
church purposes. According to a 1925 history of the church in
Arkansas, "His ambition was to establish an Irish Catholic colony,
with Church and school as center." He built a log chapel on the land
which was in use until the Civil War. When Father Corry learned that
Bishop Byrne planned to locate the church and college he envisioned at
Fort Smith instead of Fayetteville, "he felt a bitter disappointment
and went back to New York." On January 12, 1847, Father Corry deeded
over the land to Bishop Byrne for the sum of $1.00. Settlement of the
land by Irish families had begun in 1846 with the arrival of the
William Flynn family. The bishop made additional land purchases in
1854 and 1856, making his total holdings 630 acres, all near what is
now Mission Boulevard and Crossover Road.
The earliest recorded baptisms in Fayetteville were performed by
Father Peter Walsh in 1847: William, son of slaves Bob and Alera, and
Judith, daughter of Kate, a slave, on February 15. Five days later
Father Walsh baptized Alira (Alera?), a forty -five-year-old slave, and
her daughter Miranda, and on December 5, Augustus Merrill, legitimate
son of James Merrill and Elisabeth Dixon. A man named J. B. Costa
sponsored the slaves. Would that more were known about these people.
One wonders if they were accepted by the Irish families and attended
Mass in the log chapel.
Priests from Fort Smith served the Fayetteville area until 1881,
making the arduous trek over the mountains by horseback. Father
Laurence Smyth was the first to make regular visits. Beginning in 1857
he came two to four times each year, with the exception of the Civil
War years, when there were no visits by a priest for four years.
Diocesan records show Father Laurence Smyth as the first priest
assigned to St. Joseph's Parish (1870-1872), followed by his brother,
Father Michael Smyth, (1872-1880).
The visiting priests celebrated Mass first in the log cabin on the
Flynn property and later in the Flynn home until a frame church was
built at the corner of Lafayette and Willow, on a plot of land
purchased by Maurice Coffey for $100 and donated to the church. Bishop
Edward Fitzgerald dedicated the church in June 1878. At this time the
parish, which had been know as St. Mary's or Mount Saint Mary's, was
named for St. Joseph. This church building served until 1936.
Father P. J. Reilly of Boston was St. Joseph's first resident priest.
Until a room was built for the priests adjoining the church, the
Byrnes family gave him a room and the Coffeys, his meals. Fr. Reilly
served only from 1881 to 1883. After that priests were in residence
only intermittently until after World War I.
The first Catholic cemetery in Fayetteville is a plot on the Flynn
farm not far from the log house that served as a chapel. William Flynn
and his wife and two Coffey children are buried here. Later Patrick
Hennessey, one of the early settlers, donated land for the cemetery on
Highway 45 which is still in use.
Father Pietro Bandini, the founder of Tontitown, served Fayetteville
in 1899-1900, 1906, 1909, and 1911-1914. Father Bandini established a
parochial school, St. Joseph's Academy, in Fayetteville in 1916 under
the guidance of Ursuline Sisters from Springfield, Missouri. Classes
were first held in a former home on Washington Avenue, then in the
remodeled rectory on the church grounds, which was dedicated Sunday,
October 24, 1920, by the Right Rev. Bishop John B. Morris. Each room
of the building was separately blessed, after which all proceeded to
the church for Mass. The children's choir sang during the Mass,
concluding with "Holy God, We Praise Thy Name."
St. Joseph's acquired its first resident pastor in June 1916. Rev.
Walter J. Tynin, S.T.L., who was the first native-born Arkansan
ordained for the Diocese of Little Rock, had been appointed pastor of
St. Joseph's and would also serve Rogers and Benton County. He arrived
in Fayetteville on June 30 and on Saturday once more placed the
Blessed Sacrament in the church.
The historical record is not clear regarding the parish property at
Lafayette and Willow. The frame church dedicated in 1878 faced Willow
Street. In 1885 a small room added to the frame church provided living
quarters for the priests. A. M. Byrnes built a house for the priests
south of the church in 1888. In 1920 this rectory was remodeled for
use as a school and living quarters for the sisters. This building was
later moved to the east, facing Lafayette, now site of the school
playground.
With the laying of the cornerstone for a new edifice on the corner of
Lafayette and Willow on July 18, 1936, St. Joseph's parishioners
rejoiced that the congregation would soon have a more comfortable
house of worship. The completed building was dedicated by Bishop John
B. Morris on November 8, 1937.
Vivid in the memory of longtime members of St. Joseph's is the tragic
fire which took the lives of the pastor, Father Charles McCauley, and
a visiting priest, Father Dollarton, on Christmas Eve 1946. Father
McCauley was ill with influenza, and the night was extremely cold. An
explosion in an overheated gas stove started a fire. Ellen Coffey and
her family were at the scene before the fire engines arrived. The
housekeeper, who lived downstairs, tried to save the men, but rescue
was impossible due to the intensity of the flames.
In 1948, after more than twenty years without a school, under the
leadership of Father Francis J. McKee the parish acquired a residence
on the corner of Lafayette and Walnut and opened a school there with
39 pupils taught by Benedictine sisters from St. Scholastica in Fort
Smith. [From this beginning, the school continued to grow, until] an
all -day kindergarten with teachers Susann Heckel and Lois Heckel gave
support to the school for about seven years beginning in 1955, as many
non-Catholic parents enrolled their children.
When in 1969 their request for raises was denied, the Benedictine
sisters announced their intention to leave. It is said that Father
Maloy could not accept the Benedictine sisters' decision to abandon
their traditional habits and thereafter was less open to their needs.
The Franciscan Sisters of Wheaton, Illinois, joined the teaching staff
in 1971. Four lay teachers were also on the staff. In the years
following, enrollment dropped below acceptable levels, and the
school's continuance was in jeopardy. Parishioner Fred O'Baugh led the
effort to bring two Franciscan Brothers [of the Holy Cross, from
Springfield, IL] to the school in 1981. Brothers from that order
remained until August 1996. From 1982 to 1986 Brother Andrew Schmidt,
FFSC served as principal. He was followed by Ann Ferrell Wilson, who
served for ten years. During her tenure a six -classroom addition made
room for the nearly 300 students and 14 teachers. Deacon Chuck Marino
succeeded Mrs. Wilson in 1996. The current principal, Paula Thiessen,
took over in 1999.
The pastor with the longest term of service to St. Joseph was Father
Edward R. Maloy, who arrived on January 1, 1951, and served until
1973. Under his guidance the parish built both the old school (313 E.
Lafayette) and church (Corner of Lafayette and Walnut). Possibly the
building of the church on Lafayette and Walnut was Father Maloy's most
challenging undertaking. Bishop Albert L. Fletcher dedicated the
church on Sunday, September 22, 1968.
Rev. Leo Reidmuller (1973-1975) succeeded Father Maloy and was by all
accounts a much loved pastor. However, he served only two years. His
successor was Rev. Rudolph E. Maus (1975-1993). Father Maus had been
pastor briefly in 1939, when he was twenty-four years old and newly
ordained. Father Maus, later Monsignor Maus, served until his
retirement at the request of Bishop McDonald in 1993. "A thrifty
German who took no salary, cut the grass, and shoveled snow," he is
also remembered as a fine storyteller who loved to fish and tend his
vegetable garden behind the rectory. During his tenure the parish was
able to pay off its mortgage on the church.
The year 1993 brought major changes to St. Joseph Parish. Following
Msgr. Maus's retirement on June 1, St. Thomas Aquinas University
Parish and St. Joseph combined under Father Mark Wood, who was already
pastor of St. Thomas. By August 1994 St. Thomas and St. Joseph
separated. In October 1994 St. Joseph's Parish purchased a
2500 -square -foot house on Hillcrest Avenue for $115,000 to serve as a
rectory, thus providing the pastor a home removed from his office with
space for visiting priests or other guests. Other properties owned by
the parish include the former rectory at 310 Sutton Street, which was
renamed Holy Family House, and a duplex at 346 Willow Avenue, Guardian
Angel House, which were used by the school and for parish activities.
The Pastoral Council took a major step in December 1995 when it
accepted a long-range plan calling for purchase of land and
construction of a new church and fellowship hall. That plan was
refined by the Core Team and a capital campaign was planned for Fall
1998. In May of 1998, Fr. Mark Wood was sent on retreat and the parish
was administered by a pastoral team for the short term until the
arrival of Fr. John Antony in August 1998. Having determined that it
would be nearly impossible for the parish to support a two campus
complex, in February 1999 Father John Antony presented to the Parish
Council a new proposal from the Core Team to build a combination
worship center, parish hall, school, and parish offices with seating
for one thousand at an estimated cost of $3 million. Hight -Jackson
Associates were the architects for this phase. A campaign in the fall
of 1999 under the direction of Kara Rago to raise $2 million in
pledges toward the cost of construction of a Worship Center and
Educational Center exceeded the goal by $43,000. Proceeds of the sale
of the property on Lafayette will also go toward the project. Due to
the cost, by canon law, this new facility required Vatican approval,
which was acquired on May 8, 2001. The following day, Bishop Sartain
signed the building contract with Nabholz Construction Corporation,
and a groundbreaking ceremony took place on June 5. The Worship Center
and Educational Facility were completed in the summer of 2002. The
Worship Center will serve as the church for the St. Joseph Community
until, following a second capital campaign to raise the necessary
funds, a sanctuary is constructed at the site.
The Educational Facility consists of 20 classrooms for St. Joseph's
School including classrooms for music, art, computer lab, and the
library for grades kindergarten through seven, as well as a
pre -kindergarten class for four-year-old children. Additional rooms
will house the parish offices and provide space for parish activities.
Parish obligations in the area of social justice were a continuing
concern. St. Joseph's is well regarded in the Fayetteville community
for its continuing financial support, volunteer hours, and regular
food collections for various outreach programs. The parish has also
increased its efforts to respond to the needs of mentally challenged
members.
As large numbers of Hispanic people began moving to the area, the
Northwest (Arkansas) Deanery took steps to serve the many Catholics
among them. In 1994-1995 the Deanery arranged for Vincentian priests
to move to Northwest Arkansas to minister to Hispanics. All parishes
in the Deanery share in the expenses for this ministry. Vincentians
who served include Father Rex Hays, Father Tom Stehlik, and Father
Miles Heinen. St. Joseph's has had a Mass in Spanish at 2 p.m. every
Sunday since 1994. Bilingual Masses are held several times each year.
The entire parish is invited to join in celebrating the Feast of Our
Lady of Guadalupe on December 12.
Father Antony spent less than a year in Fayetteville, however, as
Bishop Andrew J. McDonald sent him to the Catholic University of
America in Washington, D.C., to study canon law in May 1999. From May
to July of that year Father Jose Thelekkatt, S.D.B., from India,
served as priest -in -residence. The current pastor, Rev. Paul Worm,
arrived in Fayetteville on July 5, 1999. A native of Arkansas, Father
Worm was ordained on May 28, 1988, and previously served at St. Mary's
and St. Patrick's in North Little Rock.
St. Joseph Church held its first Masses in the Worship Center on Starr
Drive on the weekend of August 25, 2002, and on Thursday, September
26, celebrated the Rite of Blessing of the Worship Center and
Educational Facility by Bishop Sartain.
The move to the new location after 130 years on the same ground was
wrenching for some parishioners. Most, however, were grateful for the
commodious worship space, the generous parking lot, and a school with
space for all its programs.

From: Frank Sharp
Subject: Enduring Green Network
Attached is a draft summary of the charrette results and citizen input collected by Dover
Kohl & Partners for the City Plan 2025. Item 5 expresses Fayetteville citizens' desire for
an "Enduring Green Network". The Fayetteville Natural Heritage Association passed out
survey forms at the charrettes and received 120 replies that overwhelming support
greenspaces, parks and trails.
Whether the citizens are willing to pay for this "enduring green network" is another
matter! Whether trail development is hindered by NIMBY mentality is another matter!
To achieve this goal we will need the leadership of the City administration, City Council,
City staff, local organizations and clubs and City boards and committees such as yours.
As you know, Southpass Development is going to be a major development off Cato
Springs Road, containing.a city park complex as well as commercial and residential
buildings. There will be residential development on the south end of Kessler Mountain.
Plans are for Rupple Road- with a 12' multipurpose trail- to be extended to West 6th
Street at its intersection with Smokehouse Trail (see attached concept plat).
I feel that Southpass Development should be connected to the Rupple Road trail. This
multipurpose trail will serve the new residential and commercial development, the new
school and the Boys and Girls Club and extend to the Southpass development. This needs
to be much more that just a multipurpose trail: it needs to be part on our "enduring green
network". It needs to preserve a large portion of the existing woods and bluffs and other
natural habitat. It should also serve as a corridor for wildlife.

Parks & Recreation Advisory Board Memo
March 6, 2006
The retention of portions of Mt. Kessler in its natural state has already begun: in 2000,
Barbara Moorman, my neighbor to the north, put her entire 90 acres under a conservation
easement. I am in the process of working with the Northwest Arkansas Land Trust on
putting a conservation easement on twenty acres of woodland bisected by Smokehouse
Trail.
I would like to pose the following questions to your group:
1. Do you substantially agree with the items listed under # 5 of the Draft Goals of
the City Plan 2025 for an "enduring green network"?
2. Do you agree that the Southpass park complex needs to be linked, via a
multipurpose trail, to the new school and the Boys and Girls Club?
3. To "promote the widespread deployment of conservation easements" should the
City accept and monitor these easements, or depend upon other organizations
such as the Northwest Arkansas Regional Land Trust?
4. May I have your permission to work with Connie and her staff on planning an
"enduring green network" on Kessler Mountain? If so, I will be happy to
coordinate between the City, the Southpass developers and my neighbors on
Kessler Mountain.
I would appreciate hearing your ideas on this subject and will be happy, if any of you
desire, to lead your group on a hike along the existing trails on Kessler Mountain.
Thank you for your consideration.

RE: Razorback Gameday Condominiums CTA Job No. 061025-00
Dear Advisory Board Members:
We are submitting to you a proposed project titled Razorback Gameday Condominiums on behalf
of University Housing Group. This project will be located on the southwest corner of Razorback
Road and SW 15th Street, just south of Baum Stadium and is proposed to consist of 125 units on
4.42 acres. We have met with the City Planning Staff to discuss the project and will be submitting
a PZD for the site, but prior to that submittal, we were instructed to seek your approval of the
development.
Much development has taken place near this property with The Crowne Apartments and
University Village Center being developed immediately west of this site. This project will continue
the development in this area but with a focus on the Razorback sports scene that surrounds this
part of town. Along with our development, we are proposing the construction of a connection
between the trail along Towne Branch and the corner of Razorback Road and 15th Street so that
citizens could utilize the trail system to attend the Baseball Games at Baum Stadium or other
events that are held at the Track Center. This connection could be accomplished by constructing
a paved path that meets trail standards along the eastern side of this development along the
right-of-way of Razorback Road to lead to a crossing at the corner of Razorback and 15th Street.
We have attached a computation of the dollar amount owed to the Parks Department for this
development along with a preliminary calculation of what the trail construction would equal.
The adjacent property owners are The Crowne and University Village Center, both of whom are
excited at the additional development that is taking place in this area. The Crowne will benefit
from having more activity take place in this area as will University Village Center because of the
additional residents that will support their commercial services.
We appreciate your review of this project and look forward to your feedback. If you have any
questions or need any additional information please don't hesitate to call me at (479) 878-2475.
Sincerely,
Crafton, Tull & Associates, Inc.

RE: The Villas at Stonebridge
Alison,
Please find two copies of a concept plat for the subdivision of approximately 50 acres located
along the east side of Dead Horse Mountain Road just south of Goff Farm Road. The current
concept plat has 180 single family unit, 35 townhome units, and 50 condo units. The owner
proposes money in lieu of park land dedication. Since we are proposing money in lieu of park
land we did not provide a tree preservation plan, this will be submitted with the preliminary plat
submittal.
If you need any more information let me know.
Sincerely,
Brian Teague, P.E.
