In addition, approval of the purchase of an additional 2 5 acres of the same parcel owned by Mr. Hoskins at $40,000/acre (the current Parks & Recreation Division cost per acre for money in lieu) plus closing costs and approval for Mr. Hoskins to bank the remaining 2.64 acres for future parkland dedication requirements resulting in the acquisition the 7.39 acre parcel to become park land and trail corridor for Scull Creek Trail. BACKGROUND The City of Fayetteville owns four parcels of land which were acquired for the construction of Joyce Blvd east of Gregg Ave. The city has no use for this property as it is narrow and unbuildable. The only value of the property is to the adjoining property to the north. Mr. Hoskins is purchasing the adjacent property to the north and desires to acquire this property. In order to accommodate the design of the project and utility locations, Mr. Hoskins may acquire the two remaining tracts to the west. If these tracts are acquired, Mr. Hoskins would like to reserve the right to trade for the .48 acre remnant of city property shown on the attached map as tract Z Mr. Hoskins also is requesting a median break as shown on the attached map. Mr. Hoskins owns property 7.39 acres adjacent to Scull Creek north of Shiloh, immediately north of the section of Scull Creek Trail recently paved on the Washington Regional Medical Center property. Scull Creek Trail is identified on the Fayetteville Alternative Transportation and Trails Master Plan and is currently the highest priority trail for the City of Fayetteville. A 0.6 mile section is under construction from the South side of Fulbright Expressway under Appleby Street and south to Gordon Long Park. In the future, this 12' wide multi -use trail will continue south along Scull Creek to the Walton Arts Center parking lot where it will connect to the recently completed section of Frisco Trail. To the north, Scull Creek Trail will pass under Fulbright Expressway through an existing box culvert and continue north along Scull Creek to connect to the existing Mud Creek Trail at Steel Boulevard In order to make this connection, access City Council Meeting of August 1st, 2006 Agenda Item Number must be obtained from Mr. Hoskins. In an effort to acquire this important corridor, staff proposed a combination land trade, land acquisition and banking of park land. After a series of discussions, this proposal is acceptable to Mr. Hoskins. DISCUSSION Access through Mr. Hoskins' property for Scull Creek Trail is essential to completing the connection from existing Mud Creek Trail south to the first section of Scull Creek Trail currently under construction. The 1.23 acres of land along Joyce Boulevard was left over from the process of acquiring land for extending Joyce Blvd. to Gregg St. and has no use for the City of Fayetteville or its citizens. The trade of this unneeded land along Joyce Blvd. will provide a much needed trail corridor and adjacent green space for recreation and alternative transportation. This proposal is consistent with the ideas from the City Plan 2025 of providing enduring green networks within the City of Fayetteville. In addition to insuring land for Scull Creek Trail, this proposal will also provide needed park land for the residents of the surrounding area. Currently there are no parks within 1/2 mile of this property. Additionally this land will provide space for trail parking and trail head amenities including informational kiosks, picnic tables, and benches. Of the five remnant parcels left over from the construction of Joyce Blvd., the City of Fayetteville owns four totaling 1.23 acres and one is privately held. This privately owned parcel isolates the one remaining .48 acre city owned parcel at the corner of Joyce Blvd. and Gregg Ave. Mr. Hoskins would like to trade for the three contiguous tracts totaling .75 acres and obtain an option to trade from his banked parkland for the .48 acre tract nearest to Gregg. at the same 3:1 ratio.
