Present: Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members Colwell, Biendara, Hatfield, Waite, P. Jones, Meldrum, Mauritson, and Watson were present. Meinecke was absent. Staff members Edmonston, Humphry, C. Jones,Jumper, Gipson, Thomas, Gaulke, and the audience were present. 1. Introduction of new PRAB member, Phillip Watson 2. Approval of June 1,2009 PRAB Meeting Minutes PRAB Motion: Mauritson motioned to approve the minutes as written, and Biendara seconded it. Motion passed 8-0-0 by voice vote. 3. Botanical Garden Monthly Report: Walt Filers Eilers discussed the fact that BGO is not taxpayer supported, but private. He then asked how PRAB wants to be involved in the BGO Master Plan. Colwell said that maybe some members could sit in on some of the BGO meetings. Filers said that he will let everyone know when the meetings are going to be held. He would like PRAB engaged in the process before the master plan is presented. 4. Lake Fayetteville Trail Alignment: Matt Mihalevich, Trails Coordinator Mihalevich handed out a map of Scull Creek. He said that the red line on the map representing the trail is 1.67 miles long. They are working on the Scull Creek Trail and finishing it up. They have a great partnership with Procter and Gamble,who is located at an area along the trail. The company was patient while they were working on the trail. The Lake Fayetteville Trail will have a 140' span bridge. Meldrum asked if it will need to be built up along the bridge because it's so low. Mihalevich said yes, it would. Colwell asked if there was any talk from Springdale about connecting with the trail. Mihalevich said yes, they have applied for a grant. Colwell asked if the City of Johnson was planning to connect with the northern part of Mud Creek. Mihalevich said halfway under the bridge is the city line between Johnson and Fayetteville. That is where Johnson would connect. Colwell said north of Maple there is more graffiti. Mihalevich said he saw some there made with chalk markings. 1 Meldrum said he saw some on North Street on Sweetser's property. Colwell said the trail work is exciting. Mauritson said they were doing a great job on the trails. 5. AR Parks& Tourism Outdoor Recreation Grant Project: Alison Jumper, Park Planner Staff Recommendation: To apply for$250,000 from AR Parks and Tourism Outdoor Recreation matching grant program for the development of Bryce Davis Park. Staff recommends approval of the conceptual plan of Bryce Davis Park. A public meeting was held on June 24 to receive input from the public for a project for the Arkansas Parks and Tourism Outdoor Recreation Grant money. Many ideas were proposed by the public, such as tennis courts, a baseball complex, and Bryce Davis Park. Jumper presented PRAB a conceptual plan for Bryce Davis Park including a dog park,restrooms, a large pavilion, a trail, picnic areas, fishing pier, and a labyrinth. Colwell said he would like as much of the vegetative border as possible to stay within the park to enhance the wildlife. He also asked if there were any tennis courts in the nearby subdivision. Waite suggested a tennis court could be placed into the park. Jumper said it might be a good place because it's a community park. Edmonston said the citizens at the public meeting that were pushing for more tennis courts liked the idea of the courts being located in one area for tournaments and socialization. Biendara said that it's important to keep as much greenspace as possible in Davis Park. Parking is proposed on the north side of the original Davis Park. There is a vegetative buffer between the parking lot and the neighborhood. The conceptual plan connects the original park to the new park acreage. Jumper and Mihalevich walked the park to lay out the trail connection into the Master Trail Plan. Edmonston said the grant project selected needs to have funds budgeted for the grant application. She also said many people want a Regional Park. Colwell said the Bryce Davis plan is ready to be submitted as a grant project. The grant application deadline is August 281h, in which all bid documents must be included. PRAB Motion: Mauritson motioned to follow staff recommendation to apply for$250,000 from AR Parks and Tourism Outdoor Recreation matching grant program for the development of Bryce Davis Park. Staff recommends approval of the conceptual plan of Bryce Davis Park. Colwell seconded it. Motion passed 8-0-0 by voice vote. 6. Other Business: Gipson handed out a document showing several cities comparable in population to Fayetteville, and the number of tennis courts they have available to the public. He discussed the court usage at Wilson Park. 2 Colwell asked how many courts are available in Fayetteville. Gipson said there were six courts at Wilson and two at Walker. Colwell then asked how many private courts were in Fayetteville. Gipson said he wasn't sure, maybe twenty? He could find out. Gipson then talked about the two upcoming concerts for July-"Contagious" and"Full House". There are also two more Dive-In movies to be shown-"Journey to the Center of the Earth"and "Over the Hedge". Gipson said the summer camps were going well. This week, Outdoor Adventure Camp has approximately forty-five participants. The Drama Camp is totally full. Colwell addressed some of the upcoming events. The YRCC dedication of the children's garden shed will be July 9`h at 9:30 a.m. Edmonston said that project belongs to Roxanne Worthy. Colwell mentioned the Wilson Park Trail Bridge ribbon cutting. That will happen on July 15`h at 10:00 a.m. at the new bridge on the SE corner of the park. Colwell said that he was on Rookery Trail,where he saw many birds. He talked to Jackie Smith,the boat dock operator. Smith said that more and more people are coming out birding. Smith also said that it would be good to have a map of Lake Fayetteville to sell for about $1.00 apiece. Edmonston told PRAB to look forward to next month's meeting. The 2010 budget will be presented, as well as the five year CIP plan. 7.

No. 97-96 Amended September 6, 2005, Downtown Master Plan Street Classifications, Res. No. 183-05 Amended September 4, 2007, Res. No. 161-07 Supporting multi-modal transportation in the form of streets, sidewalks, bike lanes, trails and transit is vital to growing a livable transportation network. Connecting Fayetteville to other population centers and to provide for circulation within the community requires consistent planning. New development must be provided with proper access to alleviate problems associated with congestion and safety by requiring transportation infrastructure in sufficient number and of adequate size to accommodate peak traffic volumes. Master Street Plan The following street cross-sections are functionally classified in accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Functional Classification Study Manual. In addition, the street cross-sections provide sensitivity to context by providing options for both suburban and urban developments and accommodating cyclists and low-impact development neighborhoods. The International Fire Code (IFC), which the State of Arkansas has adopted, requires a 20-foot minimum of unobstructed width on all roads, which is reflected in the proposed street cross-sections. If structures on either side of the road exceed 30 feet or three stories, then the IFC requires a 26-foot minimum of unobstructed width. Additional Utility Easements will be required outside of the specified Right-of-Way on a project specific basis, as determined by the utility companies. Master Trail Plan The Fayetteville Alternative Transportation and Trail Plan (FATT Plan), guides the development of trails in the City's expanding trail network. The Trail Master Plan Map illustrates future trail alignments and trail corridors for the purpose of acquiring easements and right-of-way. As development occurs adjacent to future trail alignments, careful attention will be paid to acquiring easements and providing site design input during the development review process. The trail cross-sections that follow the Master Street Plan cross-sections will be utilized for the construction of City trails. Trail surface materials may vary according to site considerations such as proximity to floodplains or floodways. Master Transportation Plan Guiding Policies Circulation: Guiding Policies In order to guide the formulation of a Master Transportation Plan and direct the Planning Commission regarding land use decisions which affect transportation issues, the following policies are suggested: 12.2.10.a Promote the coordinated and efficient use of all available and future transportation modes.

(Goal 4e) 12.2.10.j Establish facilities which accommodate safe and convenient travel for pedestrians and bicyclists. (Goal 4e) 12.2.10.k Promote mixed-use and traditional neighborhood development to reduce roadway demand and change travel patterns. (Goal 3b, Goal 4) 12.2.10.1 Encourage consideration of the impacts on the transportation network in land use decisions made by the Planning Commission. 12.2.10.m Periodically update the Master Street Plan in order to evaluate the context sensitivity and the appropriateness of right-of-way dedication requirements. 12.2.10.n Encourage the construction of sheltered bus stops and bicycle parking facilities at transit stops, shopping centers and employment centers. 12.2.10.o Support multi-modal transportation options such as trails, sidewalks, bike lanes and mass transit. (Goal 4) 12.2.10.p Promote the continued expansion of the City's trail network through proactive planning and the acquisition of trail easements. (Goal 4) 12.2.10.q Promote increased bicycle usage by providing integrated bicycle facilities on new and redesigned roadways, where appropriate. (Goal 4) PAVED TRANSPORTATION TRAILS provide safe, aitemative means of transportation for a variety of non—motorized uses. The Fayetteville Alternative Transportation and Trails Master Plan identifies trail corridors that connect neighborhoods, businesses, schools and parks. The goal of the Master Plan is create on interconnected system of trails throughout Fayetteville t0 provide a network of alternative transportation routes for people of all ages to safely travel around the City. All transportation trails are constructed 12 feet in width In order to accommodate the high volume and variety of users including walkers, joggers, strollers, bicycles, wheelchairs, and any other non—motorized use. CONCRETE TRAIL is used when the troll Is located In a flood prone area along a creek. Concrete holds up much better than asphalt when subjected to flood waters- Concrete is also used at road Crossings Including the ramps and other areas where Increased durability is necessary. Trull pavement should match the adjacent pavement surface when connecting to existing trail.
