Happy Hollow Road Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701 ATTN: Alison Jumper RE: Park Land Dedication I Waterbrook Subdivision Dear Alison, Please accept this letter as a written request to dedicate the 2.804 acres of proposed parkland associated with the Waterbrook subdivision. We are working hard to finish this bank owned subdivision so that it becomes a viable part of the City of Fayetteville rather than an overgrown, eye sore residents pass traveling home on Highway 16. Although this subdivision is almost complete, "finishing" the project will entail taking the subdivision through the complete planning process including preliminary and final plat approval. Accepting this park land dedication and a recommendation of approval from the PRAB is the first, and critical, step in this process. This development originally went through the planning process in 2005 and received preliminary plat approval; however, was never final platted. As part of that process it went through the PRAB at that time. On July 11, 2005, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board recommended accepting this land dedication to meet the park land requirements of this subdivision. We are seeking the same recommendation from the PRAB, as we are proposing exactly the same as what was previously presented in regards to the land mass, location and layout. Most of the work is complete in regards to the subdivision so changes at this point would be cost prohibitive. However, we are planning improvements wherever possible to make this development a quality and desirable place to call home. One such improvement is to create our own "park area" around the detention pond. This existing quarry pond can be a beautiful focal point of the entire subdivision. We will clean up there area and install picnic tables, landscaping, barbeque grills, bird nesting boxes, a walking trail around the quarry pond, and an overlook area. This area will be owned and maintained by the POA. It is worth mentioning because it might be beneficial to provide a connection between the walking trail around the quarry pond and through the proposed park area. We appreciate your time and hope that you will give this proposal careful consideration and make findings similar to what was recommended in 2005. We are looking forward to completing this subdivision and together leaving our Lejiacv one Venture at a time.
