Built History
•
1943 Fayetteville Youth Center Incorporated in the State of .Arkansas
1958 Construction began at the California Blvd. site
1964 Natatorium completed in a detached building on the same site
1980 Renovation/Addition to the existing building completed
1991 Renovation/Addition to the Natatorium completed
Although the Fayetteville Youth Center has been active since the late 1930's,
it was not incorporated with the State of Arkansas until 1943. Initially housed
in rented facilities, such as the Armory and a church near Jefferson Elemen-
tary, the Fayetteville Youth Center finally began construction on its own
building in 1958. The original building contained 14,000 sq. ft. and consisted
of an entry/reception area, work shop and locker/shower area. The Natato-
rium was added in 1964. In 1980, an additional 16,500 square feet was added
to the original building and included the reception area on the 1st and 2nd
floors, White Gymnasium, locker/toilet rooms, storage, weight room, activity
room and gallery area for the White Gymnasium. In 1991, the Natatorium
was renovated, and locker/shower areas and office space were added.
The existing site is confined and building flexibility is limited.
In October of 1998, the Fayetteville Youth Center Board of Directors
voted to seek another possible location for the Youth Center's future
growth, flexibility and service to the Community of' Fayetteville.

Rating Availability Description
November 19, December 17, 1998 and January 15, and January 27, 1999 meeting rent
Rated 1 For Sale • Rupple Road property off of Highway 16 (west -central) - There is approximately 20 acres
available for the FYC new site. The property is priced at $10,000 per acre. Highway 16 is
scheduled to be widened to 5 lanes in the next two years The widening will extend to Rupple
Road. It is perceived that the owner would donate 9 acres per the city's request for a green
space in the development but a road to the property would need to be provided to the
property (the distance being 1/2 mile). This property will be recommended to the board.
Rated 2 For Sale • Ben Schlegel property (northwest)- There is 70 acres available, priced at $8,000. per acre and
the owner is interested in selling any part of the property. Access is by Deane Solomon Road,
which is a narrow 2 -lane road. Other ways to access are difficult at this time. The property is
adjacent to part of the City's Research Park property and there could be a combination of the
two. This property will be recommended to the board
Rated 3 For Sale • Campbell Soup property on 15' street (south) - The property owner has been slow to re-
spond to our inquiries, therefore the committee assumes marginal interest. There was some
concern expressed about its location across from a factory and the public image of the new
FYC. We will continue to pursue general information about the property but it is not high on
the list.
• City owned property on Cato Springs Road (southwest) - The jail's location is planned about
2000 yards from the property. The committee is very concerned about the perceived safety
and image to the community. Therefore is property will remain low in ranking.
Rated 5 Sold • National Home Center site (southwest) — Pros: Great access from the north, south, east and
west and the population growth from any direction, great visibility, central location but still in
southern quadrant of town, topography is flat, close to existing educational facilities, FYC
would own the land, approach to the site is good and aesthetically pleasing, frontage road in
place, utilities currently available. Cons — Privately owned/ associated cost, and it is in the
overlay district
Rated 6 For Lease • Walker Park (south-central) — Pros: Known location by city residents, located in the south
part of town, playing fields adjacent, senior center adjacent, parking available, and close to
other fields and facilities currently used by FYC. Cons: Senior location adjacent -added rela-
tionship to negotiate for field use, maintenance, and land use, safety and security, scheduling
problems with field usage -currently the fields are difficult to access because of existing
programming
Rated 7 For Lease • Research Park (northwest) — Pro: Topography is flat, sufficient land, close to 71By-Pass.
Cons: Present accessibility is difficult, located on the outside of the by-pass, no utilities
available currently, building usage atypical for the surrounding area
• Gregory Park (central) — Pros: centrally located, beautiful land. Cons: Topography too roll-
ing, property size is too small, and limitation on usage/development of the property by the
VA
• Crossover Park (northeast) — Cons: too small, topography too rolling, location exceeds ser-
vice parameters, and the city does not own the property, it is only leasing

Final Site Selection
The following is a summary of the number one site selectionfor the new Youth Center. The
report was prepared by a subcommittee of the Master Bray Planning Committee and
war presented on March 24, 1999. Both the number one and two choices were pursued
nmultaneousfy until rpeerfic terms were negotiated The Rupple Road properpt was
recommended to the Fvytteoille Youth Center Board at the completion of those mgotia-
teons.
Rupple Road Property - Rated 1
Property Owners — Butch Robertson and Hayden Mcllroy
Access to the Property — Rupple Road is scheduled for extension from
Highway 16 to the property location (approx. '/ mile) as a City street. The
Master Street Plan indicates Rupple Road will be a minor arterial (four lanes
undivided) road and will eventually connect to Highway 62. At this time, the
street could be constructed to less than four lanes, which would serve for
several years before upgrading would be required. A recent rezoning of the
property between Highway 16 and the proposed Youth Center property was
obtained to allow the Owners to sell the property to the north of the
proposed Youth Center site for an apartment complex development. The
future development and other property owners will be responsible for a
portion of the street construction costs, with the actual responsibilities
broken-down at a later date. The Owners have indicated a desire to work
with the Youth Center in any way required in providing access to the
property, provided there is no commitment to the road investment before the
adjacent property is developed. Mayor Fred Hanna has indicated his support
of this site to Jeff Koenig and Charlie Venable for the Youth Center and
does not anticipate any problems in providing access. He also anticipates no
approval problems concerning the "greenspace" park lands designated for the
Youth Center use.
Location of Water Lines — An eighteen (18) inch water line will be available
along Highway 16 in the near future. An eight (8) inch water line extends
along Meadow Land Drive. The apartment complex rezoning will precipitate
the extension from Highway 16 south along Rupple Road and its extension.
Location of Sewer Lines — An eight (8) inch sanitary sewer line is adjacent
to the west and south boundaries of the proposed site.

The report ww prepared ty a subcommittee of the Master Fnak'ry Planning Committee
and was presented on March 24, 1999. Both the number one and two choices were
pmiued simukaneousfy until speafc terms were negotiated The Runk Road property war
recommended to the Fayetteville Youth Center Board at the completion of those negotia-
tions.
Schlegel Property - Rated 2
Property Owners — Ben and Sylvia Schlegel
Access to the Property — No immediate access to the property is available.
.A street can built from Deane Soloman Rd, west approximately 330 feet
through property owned by the city of Fayetteville to the east boundary of
the proposed property. It is anticipated that the City would grant access if
there were no restriction by the Research & Technology Park or the road
would render the property unusable. The 330 feet of street is not presently
on the Master Street Plan, which is problematic. In addition, Crystal Drive
will be extended cast to Deane Soloman Rd, providing access from the south.
Deane Soloman is a narrow, unimproved 2 -lane paved road with very poor
access at its intersection with Mt. Comfort Rd.
Location of Water Lines — An eight (8) inch water line is located along
Crystal Dr 1 500 feet west of the southwest corner of the property. It is
anticipated this line will be extended east to Deane Soloman with additional
subdivision development. A thirty-six (36) inch water line is located in the
Research & Technology Park that could be tapped, and a line extended along
Deane Soloman. This line is located about 700 feet from the southeast corner
of the property.
Location of Sewer Lines —An eight (8) inch sanitary sewer line is located
approximately 1,500 feet west of the southwest corner and serves the Crystal
Springs Subdivision. This line would be extended when additional develop-
ment in this subdivision is commenced.

h --facility Aesthetic Options
The following list of aesthetic options warpresented to the Master Faciky Planning
Committee. The purpose oris to initiate thought and consideration for the image of the
building and reponse to the Strategic Plan. Although the Architect of Record will darlap
an aesthetic scheme, the Committee, Youth Center Board and Staff can give ckarer
direction to the final result.
Classical
Presented as an expression of an appealing architectural form to most, and
one that offers a non dated approach, this concept could be expressed with
permanent materials in precise proportion and rhythms. The building
structure could express the precedent forms and materials in "100 year
buildings". As noted in the Strategic Plan, the Northwest Arkansas area is
changing, and the broad, long-lasting appeal of this style offers of campus -
like response to the building of buildings that are designed.
Natural
Presented as an expression of Arkansas and the Ozarks, this concept could
be expressed with water plant elements both inside and outside the building,
and natural building materials, such as stone. The building structure could be
a vernacular image of the area, such as farm buildings or mountain retreats
and more permanent in the response to the strategic issues for the facility.
Playful
Presented as an expression of children and youth, this concept could be
expressed with blight colors, unusual shapes and graphics. The building
structure could be simple concrete block that is easily painted with shapes
and graphics applied to the outside of the structure, allowing for flexibility
and change as trends and tastes change.
