This land will expand the function of
Clarence Craft Park to include open area on
the north side of the creek. The park
currently includes a small portion of the
north side, however there is no access to it.
This would provide recreational opportunity
and access to the north side. Additionally,
May 7, 2012 PRAB Agenda 1
the Trails Master Plan shows a trail corridor
through this area. This land would secure
the land needed for trail construction and
would increase the acreage of Craft Park to
7.49 acres.

Lewis Soccer Complex is
within one half mile of the
proposed development.
Friendship Park is within one
mile of the proposed
development. The size of the
required park land dedication
is less than two acres.

Jumper reviewed the information about the development. She
introduced Tim Brisiel, the representative for the development.
Brisiel said he was the owner and developer of the property. He said
the property is very small in scale with only five properties. The
development is located between Deane Street and the Lewis soccer
fields. Four of the cottages are facing the common ground in the
development. The cottages are 1100 square feet or less and are mostly
two bedroom. He said this was the first cottage development in
Fayetteville. It will have a gravel paved private drive. There will be
bioswales throughout the development.
Thompson said he was glad to see that someone was doing a
development of this type in Fayetteville.
2
Edmonston commented that the Lewis soccer fields would only be
available to Fayetteville Parks and Recreation until June 2018. It will
then go back to the University of Arkansas.
Brisiel said there would only be common parking -no individual
parking.
Meldrum asked what other projects were planned for the NW
quadrant.
Jumper said that the Bryce Davis development was just wrapped up.
Brisiel said that the houses are treated as single family dwellings.
Paul said the ordinance requires less than 1100 square feet, which is
smaller than a lot of apartments. He wanted to know if the houses
would still be classified as single family.
Edmonston said yes. That is determined by how the walls are
connected.
Thompson asked if the development would be phased.
Brisiel said that it needs to be done all at once. It's very small. He said
it needs PRAB's approval.
PRAB Motion: McKnight motioned to accept money in lieu, and
Paul seconded it. Motion passed 7-0-0 by voice vote.
5. Recreation Program Report: Chase Gipson, Recreation
Superintendent
Gipson said the Adult Softball League began games tonight. Saturday
is the Yvonne Richardson Easter Egg Hunt. The Summer Camp
registrations are now open. There are eight separate camps- Outdoor
Adventure 1, 2 and 3, Soccer, Tennis, Drama, Camp Wilson, and
Outdoor Advanced. Outdoor Adventure 1, 2, and 3 are for children 8
to 12 years old. The Soccer, Tennis, Drama, and Camp Wilson camps
are for youth 5 to 12 years old. The Outdoor Advance camp is for
youth ages 12-15.
Meldrum asked how the registration is done.
Gipson said people can register online, mail in the registration, or
walk into the office and pay.
McKnight wanted to know if the camps were held all day.
3
Gipson said no. They are from 9 am to noon. He added that the
summer pool, camp and YRCC positions, will be posted soon, and the
concert lineup will be released on May 1, 2012. For the Dive -In
movies, a committee composed mainly of parents will be formed, and
they will choose the movies to be shown.
Edmonston said that people are encouraged to enroll online.
McKnight asked if people could enroll online by coming into the Parks
office.
Gipson said no, but that idea has been discussed. A kiosk isn't a bad
idea, but it is a budget issue right now, and there is no room for one.
He added that Belford did the online signup software for Parks. The
user fee that is charged goes to Belford.
McKnight said that maybe at some point a kiosk can be put in.
6. Botanical Garden Society of the Ozarks Report: Phillip
Watson, PRAB Representative
Watson said that since the board meets every other month, he hasn't
been to a meeting yet. He said the planting season began earlier this
year. He added they were really excited about the trail coming
through.
7. Other Business:
Meldrum read the upcoming events.
Aubrey Shepherd, a guest, passed out an eco -passport. He said the
event will have a lot of activities.
8. Adjournment:
Meeting adjourned at 6:05 pm.

RE: The Cottages at Old Wire
Ms. Jumper, please see attached development conceptual drawing for The Cottages at Old Wire.
Rausch Coleman would like to build a residential subdivision within the City of Fayetteville limits.
We request that the city Parks & Recreation Department accept the proposed 2.04 acres of land for
the purpose of a Public Park. This area of our development would make an ideal location as it would
adjoin an existing city park. We also request to bank any overage in land area for future development
consideration.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Brett Watts
