TO: Mayor and City Council
CITY COUNCIL MEMO
THRU: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
Connie Edmonston, Parks and Recreation Director
FROM: Ted Jack, Park Planning Superintendent
DATE: December 12, 2019
SUBJECT: Establishment of a general utility easement to provide service to the new
operations center proposed for construction within the expanded lease area at the
Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the establishment of a general utility easement to provide service
to the new operations center proposed for construction within the expanded lease area at the
Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks.
BACKGROUND:
Lake Fayetteville was purchased in 1948 - 1949 to construct Lake Fayetteville as a water supply
for the City. The Beaver Water District was established in 1959 by Fayetteville, Springdale,
Rogers and Bentonville to provide treated water from Beaver Lake. As a result, the City
decided to utilize the 595 acres at Lake Fayetteville for recreational purposes and as a
secondary water source for the City.
Over the years, the City has designated 260 acres on the north side of the lake as a nature
study area, approved a lease agreement with Fayetteville and Springdale Public Schools for
260+ acres for the Lake Fayetteville Environmental Study Center, and approved a lease
agreement with the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks for 40 acres on the east side of the lake to
establish a botanical garden.
In 2017, the Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks (BGO) Board of Directors requested an addition of
approximately 1.7± acres on the north side of their current leased area with the intent to
construct a 2,800 square foot operations center to facilitate maintenance of their gardens. This
requested area fell within the boundary of property leased to the school districts as a nature
area. The area was chosen as the site most suitable to conduct maintenance of the gardens
and the space is large enough to support future expansion of the garden. This area was
accepted and approved by the school districts and the Fayetteville City Council and was
established by Ordinance 5968 amending Ordinance 3898.
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
DISCUSSION:
Since approval of the 1.7 -acre expansion, the BGO Board has been working with McClelland
Engineers on the design of the new operations center. The center will require the addition of
utilities including a primary power supply which will be provided by Ozarks Electric Cooperative.
For this level of service, Ozarks Electric requires that a 15 -foot wide easement be provided for
the establishment of the service. This easement has been specified and is described by legal
description on the attached "General Utility Easement" document and graphically by Exhibit 'A'
attached to the document.
The proposed easement will fall entirely within the existing and the amended Botanical Gardens
of the Ozarks lease area and will follow the same path as an existing service road that accesses
the proposed operations center. The easement will be perpetual until such time as the utilities
within this easement are abandoned, the use relinquished, or the easement vacated.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
There will be no budget or staff impact associated with this proposal
