PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD
Meeting Minutes May 7, 2007
Opening:
The regular meeting of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board was called to order by
Chairman Wade Colwell at 5:33 P.M. on May 7, 2007 in Room 326 of the City
Administration Building located at 113 West Mountain, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Present:
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members Colwell, Biendara, Hatfield, Davis,
Burke, and Bitler were present; Davidson and Mauritson were absent. Park Staff
Edmonston, Coles, Curry, Jumper, Thomas, Wright; Trail Coordinator Mihalevich and
audience were in attendance.
1. Approval of April 2nd, 2007 PRAB Meeting Minutes
PRAB Motion: Davis moved to approve as written, and Bitler seconded the
motion. Motion passed by voice vote of six approvals.
1A. Jim House, State House Representative, was a special attendee. He
announced that Act 818 passed. Act 818 prohibits sexual offenders from living
within 2000 feet from any City or State owned parks and youth centers. It goes
into effect approximately July 31, 2007.
2. Lake Fayetteville Environmental Study Center Fishing Pier Request:
Kevin Bennoch, Lake Fayetteville Environmental Study Center Science
Teacher
Fayetteville and Springdale Public Schools are requesting to replace the
observation / fishing pier by the Lake Fayetteville Environmental Study Center.
The University of Arkansas Landscape Architecture class has consented to design
and build the pier. Because this pier is used by the school system, as well as the
public, Parks and Recreation Staff is requesting approval for the City of
Fayetteville to commit to this project as well.
Bennoch says Fayetteville Public Schools wants to get rid of the pier, or replace
it, because it is a safety hazard. He took an idea to Edmonston because the public
uses it. Bennoch said Springdale and Fayetteville Public School Systems have
pledged $7,000 each to help replace the pier. The University of Arkansas will
supply the design and construction labor. Bennoch is asking the Parks Recreation
Division of the City of Fayetteville to match the $7,000 pledge. December 1, 2007
is the estimated project completion date.
Davis asked if the project was not completed by the students, if the City was
prepared to complete it. Coles answered that they were prepared to do so.
PRAB Motion: Davis moved to approve the pledge. Biendara seconded the
motion. Motion passed by voice vote of 6-0-0. Davidson and Mauritson were
absent.
3. Copper Creek Park Master Plan Approval: Kay Curry, Park Planner
Copper Creek Park land is located at 4640 North Copper Creek Drive and is
adjacent to East Zion Road. Two public meetings were held for the development
of this park on October 30, 2006 and April 9, 2007. At the first meeting, Parks
and Recreation Staff discussed the neighborhood's desires for the future
development of the park. From the information provided at this meeting, a master
plan was designed incorporating the requested amenities. A second meeting was
hosted on-site to present the plan to the neighborhood. At this meeting the master
plan was approved by the neighbors with the following minor modifications:
a) Picnic tables to be shifted away from the fence and clustered more to the center
of their general location.
b) The park bench located near the northern property line moved out from the
fence.
The Master Plan includes a playground, pavilion, bike rack, benches, walking
trail and a sidewalk connecting several of the amenities. The plan also calls for a
park sign to be installed and for many trees throughout the park. However, the
budget does not allow for all of the requested amenities. Based on priorities
provided by the neighbors, Phase 1 will include a playground, pavilion and
sidewalks. Other amenities will be installed if funds become available.
Neighbors have expressed a desire to utilize private funds and donations for the
installation of trees.
Scott Hancock, a resident on Copper Creek Drive said that the neighborhood is
committed to find funds for trees. He said that he and Curry had discussed the park,
and that the Parks staff is a pleasure to work with. He is concerned about the
walkway, and would like to move it approximately 100 feet south of the proposed
location so it will not block driveways.
Colwell was concerned about costs if walkway was moved. Davis was also
concerned about cost if there is a change in plans.
Curry explained if we moved the sidewalk 100' over, there would be an additional
sidewalk cost to commit to. She estimated it would be around $1,500.
Hatfield suggested that Curry work with Transportation for a couple of "No Parking"
signs.
Davis also liked the idea of the "No Parking" signs.
Biendara would like Curry to work up another drawing and present again.
Hancock said if cost was the issue that he and the neighbors would commit to the
$1,500 to move the walkway.
Biendara said cost was not the issue, but the location of the walkway was.
Davis said he would like the committee to approve, and allow the neighborhood and
Staff work out the walkway issue.
Biendara said she wanted to vote for the master plan.
PRAB Motion: Colwell made a motion to approve the master plan and work on
the issue with walkway. Hatfield seconded the motion. Motion passed 6-0-0.
Davidson and Mauritson were absent.
Copper Creek Park Land Naming Recommendation:
Please see attached document regarding David Lashley.
PRAB Motion: In accordance to the Naming of Park Facilities Policy, Park
names are tabled until the next PRAB Meeting allowing for public input. Colwell
motioned to table. Davis seconded it. Motion passed 6-0-0. Davidson and
Mauritson were absent.
4. Park Land Dedication Funding Request: Connie Edmonston, Parks &
Recreation Director
Park Staff is requesting funding in the amount of $67,500 from the Northeast Park
District to assist in funding the park in the Copper Creek subdivision. Total cost
of Phase I is $197,677. The remaining deficit would be from the Northeast Park
District as well as $20,000 from the Forestry, Safety and ADA Project.
PRAB Motion: Burke motioned to approve. Davis seconded it. Motion passed 6-
0-0. Davidson and Mauritson were absent.

Dedication of approximately 1.14 acres of

lieu in the amount of $91,680.
Staff recommends the dedication of
approximately 1.14 acres of park land as a
trail corridor and the remaining required
dedication as money -in -lieu in the amount of
$91,680. The proposed trail corridor will be
approximately 40' in width extending from
the northern property line to 5' south of the
existing gravel road and run the full length
of the property east to west along the
northern boundary.
Justification:
The trail corridor is a needed link and is
shown on the Fatt Plan. The proposed
subdivision is located in a rural area at the
edge of the city limits and the planning area.
Therefore, staff is recommending money -in -
lieu in order to acquire or develop park land
received in dedication that is more centrally
located in this quadrant and would
potentially serve more citizens.
Additionally, Combs Park (80 acres) is
located approximately one mile to the
northeast of this property.
PRAB Motion: Hatfield motioned to accept the staff recommendation. Davis
seconded the motion. Motion passed 6-0-0. Davidson and Mauritson were absent.
Other Business:
A. Jerry Ingram with Scout Troop 116 would like to build a three quarter mile trail
along Lake Sequoyah to earn an Eagle Scout badge. He would like to start on his
project around May 26, 2007. Edmonston said for him to call her ASAP.
Davis asked if this trail connected with another trail.
Ingram said eventually other scouts could connect to the trail.
B. Colwell said that he would like to put together a paddling committee to paddle
the West Fork and White River. This would be to look at possible future projects
such as new landing sites for paddlers, a surfing hole, and general areas to
improve for public access.
Announcements: Edmonston announced the Walker Park cell tower will go
before the June 5th City Council Meeting.
Wright announced that the Clabber Creek trail ribbon cutting would be on May
16, 2007. Also, the swimming pool opens this month.
8. Adjournment
Colwell adjourned the meeting at 7:01.

May 16, 2007
To Fayetteville Parks Board Members:
The Arkansas Canoe Club
P.O. BOX 1843
LITTLE ROCK, AR 72203
I am writing this letter as President of the Northwest Chapter of the Arkansas Canoe Club (ACC)
to ask for your consideration of a special event fee for our regularly scheduled "boatball" games
on Lake Fayetteville. First, I'll provide some background on our club and the game of boatball.
The ACC was formed more than 30 years ago to promote and support paddle sports and
recreation on rivers and lakes in the state of Arkansas. Currently the club has more than 1000
members in six chapters in Arkansas and Oklahoma. The Northwest chapter is the second
largest, with more than 100 family memberships representing more than 200 individual
members. More information on the ACC can be found at www.arkansascanoeclub.com.
The Northwest Chapter started playing the game we call boatball in the Fall of 2005, originally on
Lake Wedington. The game essentially involves paddling kayaks and canoes and passing a
small ball around in an attempt to score goals by passing it beyond a bouy. The game is fast
paced and exciting, and the club now actively promotes since it helps improve the skills and
safety of members during the "off season" for whitewater paddling in the summer months. It also
provides an excellent opportunity to build social ties between local paddlers, which is important
since people always paddle rivers in groups. The Northwest Chapter was the first to play this
game, and, and far as we know, we are only the second group in the country to play it.
In addition to being beneficial and fun for our current members, the game also provides an
excellent opportunity to expose people in the local community to kayaking and canoeing. The
game attracts a great deal of interest wherever it is played, to the extent that we were featured in
two newspaper articles in the summer of 2006. One of the goals of the ACC is to promote
paddling as a safe, fun outdoor recreational activity, which is one of the main reasons we moved
the game to Lake Fayetteville in the summer of 2006. It gave us a chance to interact with more
people who enjoyed watching the game on the lake and wanted to know more about kayaking
and canoeing.
However, the boat launch fee at the lake was a concern for some people playing the game. The
Arkansas Canoe Club does not have sufficient funds to cover the cost for the 30 to 40 people
who played the game last year. We typically had 8 to 14 people playing each evening, but often
different people showed up each week. As a result, it was decided at our chapter meeting in
February to move the game back out to Lake Wedington this year. I would very much like to
have the game played at Lake Fayetteville - I love my community, and I think playing at Lake
Fayetteville is something that is great for Fayetteville as well as for the Canoe Club. So, I am
writing to try to work out an arrangement by which the Club could cover the cost for our members
playing at the lake.
After careful consideration, I would like to propose that the ACC to pay an annual fee to the City
as a "special event" fee for using the lake. We would play from April through October only one
night per week at a designated time - from 5:30 until closing time an average of about 2 hours per
week). Only canoers and kayakers playing boatball at the designated dates and time would be
covered under this arrangement - any other paddlers on the lake would have to pay normal
launch fees. The only activity that would be covered would be boatball - no fishing, etc. And we
will play in a designated area near the dam - paddling elsewhere on the lake would not be not
covered.
I believe the ACC could afford to pay the City between $200 to $300 per year for this recurring
event. That would cover up to 20 paddlers per weekly boatball session. Our use of the lake is
roughly 5% of the total weekday time available for boating, so this can also be looked at as a fair
pro -ration of the fees based on time and resource consumption. Also, we are not asking for
exclusive use of the lake or the dock area.
Additionally the ACC members could assist with keeping the area near the dam clear of trash
cleaning trash from the water near the dam each time we play, and we already participate in
cleanup events out at the lake, and we could possibly assist on more days than we currently do.
We're interested in helping keep the lake in good shape for the community.
Thank you for your consideration of my proposal. Please contact me if there are any questions,
and I would welcome the opportunity to meet with the Parks Board to discuss this further.
Sincerely,
Bill Herring, President, Northwest Chapter
Arkansas Canoe Club

RE: Walnut Valley Park Land Dedication
Ms Alison Jumper
Rausch Coleman Homes is in the master planning stage of development for Walnut
Valley, a residential Planned, Zoning District development just west of our current
Walnut Crossing Subdivision. In the preliminary stage of development we are proposing.
194 units of single family residential lots. Per the Park Dedication requirements, this will
equate to either 4.6 acres in land or $186,240.00 of fees in lieu of land to be dedicated to
the City of Fayetteville per the Park Land Dedication Ordinance.
Rausch Coleman. Homes wishes to be placed on the June 2007 agenda of the Fayetteville
Park Board for the following Park Land Dedication request
Dedication Request
Rausch Coleman Homes LLC request to pay fees in Lieu to the amount of
$186,240.00 and be allowed to administer the development of the existing five acre
park within Walnut Crossing with these fees. We will coordinate with Park staff in
the design and selection of amenities to be installed in the park The design process for
the park will include the Walnut Crossing Property Owners Association and will begin
this .summer in hopes of development during this coming fall. Since we are the
developers of Walnut Crossing, the development of this park is of great importance to us`
In addition, it is our intent to dedicate a trail easement within the vicinity of the 80' wide
gas easement existing on the proposed Walnut Valley site: Until the plat is finalized and
the utilities and drainage has been engineered for the development, it is difficult to define
the limits of the trail easementat this time. We would like the chance to coordinate with
City staff at the time engineering is comp!te and the preliminary plat is under review by
the City.
We appreciate this opportunity to address the Park Board concerning this dedication
request.

RE: DAVIDSON SUBDIVISION
Members of the Board:
On behalf of our clients, Randy and Kelly Davidson, please accept this correspondence as an
official request to pay money in lieu of land dedication to the City of Fayetteville Parks
Department as it relates to a proposed Residential Subdivision. The proposed project
encompasses approximately 5.57 acres consisting of 21 residential lots and 1 parcel of 0.46 acres
designated for storm water detention. The proposed development is located on the North side of
Township Street, approximately 3 of a mile west of the intersection with Old Wire Road.
The property is approximately 1.2 miles west of Gulley Park. The proximity to Gulley Park and
the relatively small size of the development are the primary reasons for the request of money in
lieu of land. At the current rate of $960 per lot, the contribution to the parks fund would be
$20,160 Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you have any questions regarding
this project please call me at 582-4234.
Respectfully,
Thomas A. Hennelly, P.E.
