Laureate Fields, a subdivision that the Parks Board has previously reviewed and approved for land dedication, is being revised at the request of the Owner/Developer in -part to provide more desirable Park accommodations to residents of Laureate Fields and to the community by means of connectivity to the City's Master multi -use Trail System and whereby larger land masses for recreational opportunities can be made a reality. The proposed Land Bank will be set within the proposed Park West Development, having a land mass area of approximately 120 acres, were opportunities exist for trail head corridors connecting areas of mixed use (commercial, office - residential, multi -family, and single family, etc.) with open park lands were more active use possibilities exist. Laureate Fields is being revised to have 211 single family residential lots. Calculating 211 residential homes at the base unit of 0.024 acres, 5.064 acres of Park land dedication is required. There currents exists in combination with the City's Master Trails System Plan, 3.195 acres of Park Land credits in the Park West Development. In the Concept PZD, additional park lands will be provided, approximately 12.78 acres 1t is highly possible that as development progresses additional park lands for banking can be realized, especially along the project site's south boundary and southeast corner. Thcrc exist the opportunity for a variety of recreational experiences through this proposed project. As linkages of the Master Trail System become a reality, the designation of Park West for i combination of reasons and experiences will become a featured jewel of Fayetteville and the Parks Department. It is the Developer's intent for residents of the development, visitors, and the surrounding citizenry, especially those from neighborhoods in proximity like Laureate Fields (that has a direct connection to the Master Trail System), to actively participate in this pedestrian 20S West Center Street; Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701; Phone: (479) 443.4124; Fax: (419) 443-4701; E-mail: MCOengr(ctswbell.ner • • • Y/iLC[ani i.ompauacy COvinnerin(f G'YSnrvrotiin1 Melvin L.

Where one can experience commercial shopping, professional offices and services within a pedestrian setting of paths, trails, sidewalks, streams and narrow streets that encourage a slower pace of life and the enjoyments of living. This harmonious bend of environments, diverse living spaces, diverse commercial and offices, diverse recreational experiences, all the while surrounded by Mother Nature is an natural product of the Northwest Arkansas heritage. A natural product that is almost always overlooked when developing urban spaces. Park West offers a unique opportunity for Fayetteville to continue it heritage of civic pride, a green place where one experiences healthy living, receives quality education, and becomes part of a vibrant community. The developer ask that you, the Fayetteville Parks and Recreational Advisor Board, support this project and proposed banking request. Opportunities proposed through the development of this project do not often surface, but it is the desire of this Developer to set a precedent for similar growth to continue. Thank you for your consideration, foresight, and vision as the world around us, including the park system, becomes both more dynamic and sorted in meeting public needs.

Present: Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members Hill, Bailey, Harrison Mauritson, and Pawlik-Holmes; City staff Mihalevich, Edmonston, Coles, Whillock; Millholland (Milholland Engrs), Jefcoat (MCO), Hoskins (Paradigm Development); and D. McAlister and Mrs. Benedict from the surrounding property. 1. 1. Park Land Dedication: Matt Mihalevich, Park Planner Development Name: Laureate Fields Engineer: Owner: Location: Park District: Units: Total Acres: Land Dedication Requirement: Money in Lieu Requirement: Existing Parks: Developer's Request: Milholland Company Paradigm Development West and South of Hwy 112, east of Dean Solomon Road. NW Park West — Undetermined Laureate Fields - 211 Single Family Units Park West — 120 Acres Laureate Fields — 72.5 Acres Park West - Undetermined Laureate Fields - 5.064 Acres Park West - Undetermined Laureate Fields - $117,105 None within 1/2 mile Park land to be transferred from Laureate Fields to the proposed Park West development. Staff Recommendation: Park land within Park West, exact location and size of park land to be determined. Developer's Comments: Justification: On August 10, 2004, PRAB recommended accepting a combination of park land and money in lieu for Laureate Fields Subdivision. Since then, the subdivision has undergone revisions that increased the number of lots. The change is considered substantial and is required to come back before PRAB. April 26, 2005 / 1 Hill explained that the plan is to combine both parcels from Laureate Fields and Park West into one park to fill the park land requirements for both developments. Bailey asked what the total number of acres would be after the two pieces are combined. Jefcoat stated that total amount will be 12.7 acres. Hoskins said to remember the roads and trails are still conceptual but the Fayetteville trail system will run across the south side of the property. Coles interjected that the City already holds that trail easement. Mauritson, representing Mrs. Benedict who owns Bio -tech Pharmaceutical, stated that her desire would be for the developers to consider a buffer zone around her property which is located on the north side of the development. Bailey said he sees no problem with the transfer provided in the end there is enough acreage to have a park. Hill clarified that the purpose of the special meeting was to vote on the transfer of the property from Laureate Fields Mauritson requested some clarification of the transfer process. Hoskins explained that this is to allow a combining of the trails and parkland to provide or a larger park instead of multiple smaller ones. He also stated that there is some interest in including some tree preservation areas. He also stated that at some point as the process continues they may begin offering money -in -lieu rather than giving up more actual acreage. He said they are hoping to have the tree preservation ordinance revisited and see if there's a way to combine the park ordinance and tree preservation ordinance so as not to 'kill' the developer. Mauritson stated the tree preservation ordinance is a separate issue from park land and tree preservation areas cannot be parkland due to diverse requirements for the land use. Hill asked that in consideration of time to have a motion made. PRAB Motion: Pawlik-Holmes moved to accept staff recommendation to transfer five plus acres from Laureate Fields to the proposed Park West development park land which is a size and location yet to be determined.
