The owner is Jim Lindsey and the engineering firm is Crafton, Tull and Associates, Incorporated. Jerry Kelso is the owner's representative. The development contains 276 multi -family units on 22.75 acres. The requirement for park land is 4.69 acres and money in lieu is $108,468. The Park Land Dedication Ordinance states if a large scale development is over 40 acres or 100 units, the requirement is land. "...However, if the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board determines that a neighborhood park is not feasible or advisable, it may recommend to the City Council that a cash contribution pursuant to our ordinance be accepted in lieu of fond dedication. The City Council will either accept the recommendation for a cash contribution or return the subdivision plat to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board with instructions or further study." (Unified Development Ordinance No. 166.031) Current Status: Parks and Recreation Staff met with the engineering firm to evaluate the site. The development was presented to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) on September 8, 2003. Please see attached minutes. Recommendation: The Parks and Recreation Staff and Parks and Recreation Advisory Board recommend money in lieu as the Park Land Dedication requirement for Zion Vantage Apartments. This recommendation is the result of Parks and Recreation Staff and PRAB's review of the project and the developer's offer to provide recreation amenities such as picnic tables, gazebo, lake, pool and clubhouse for the development's residents. PRAB and the Parks and Recreation Staff believe the development's location within one-half mile of Veterans Memorial Park and the Lake Fayetteville Trail and Park System (over 260 acres of park land) will meet the parks and recreation needs of the development's residents. Funds collected from this development will be used for park improvements in the northeast park district. If you have any questions, please call met at 444-3472.

Developer will provide recreation amenities such as pool, club house, lake, gazebo, and picnic benches for residents. Developer will also provide a marked bike path within the Vantage Road right-of-way. If money in lieu is recommended by PRAB, this project will require a waiver to Ordinance § 159.05 (K) because it contains more than 100 housing units. Wade Colwell asked if the bike path would provide eventually provide a through -connection from Joyce Boulevard to Zion Road. Steve Hatfield replied that yes, the path would provide a through -connection. The bike lane, however will be included in the street section as indicated in the Alternative Transportation and Trails Master Plan. Bob Shoulders suggested providing a crosswalk to connect the new subdivision to Veterans Park to increase positive use of the park. Ohman stated since the project property does not extend to Zion Road the developer will not be responsible for street improvements such as sidewalks along Zion Road. She will discuss this issue through the Planning process. Hatfield will also raise the issue with the Sidewalks and Trails Task Force. MOTION: Shoulders moved to recommend to City Council a waiver to Ordinance §159.05 (K) to accept money in lieu of land for the proposed Zion Vantage Apartments development. Bailey seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the motion was approved 8-0-0.
