He noted that in order to gain a better understanding of the issues associated with the property, Board members, City Council and City staff toured the property on November 2, 2013. Hightshoe suggested that this item be tabled due to the number of new members on the Board; additionally he suggested that a tour of all the park facilities, along with the Longwood property be scheduled to bring the new members up to date. Tim noted that the Longwood property designation would be moved to the next regularly scheduled meeting in April. Discussion continued in regard to the property location and the possible options available, along with what is defined as open space/green space and park land. Suzanne Hughes made a motion that the discussion and recommendation of the Longwood property designation be tabled until all members of the Parks and Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Minutes February 17, 2014 City of Colleyville Page 3 Recreation Advisory Board have toured the site. Carel Tornes seconded the motion. The motion carried. The Board agreed to schedule a tour of all Park facilities and the Longwood property on Saturday, March 29, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. Staff will post the tour agenda for a possible quorum and send reminder notices to all Board members. 3e Update and presentation on the LD Lockett Park / Cotton Belt Trail Head Enhancement project Library, Parks and Recreation Director Mary Rodne gave a brief history on the LD Lockett Park / Cotton Belt Trail Head Enhancement Project. Rodne introduced Aaron Babcock with Hidell Associates Architects who provided the presentation that was previously presented at a public meeting on January 14, 2014. Babcock stated that Hidell used the 2011 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan as a guide for the needs assessment for the LD Lockett Park / Cotton Belt Trail Head Enhancement project, along with looking at the demographics of the community. Aaron informed the Board that the property is 4.5 acres with the majority of the property within the floodplain; noting that there is an existing house on the property that was previously used for the Senior Center and is now being used for storage. Additionally, there is an existing trail head, open space and parking on the property. Babcock continued with a list of possible amenities suitable for the property, as listed: Playground Basketball Court Adult Playground-Fitness Equipment Pavilion Restroom Seating Bike Repair Station Water Station (to include pet watering) Pavilion/Restroom Combination Tennis Court Signage/Trail Map Dog Park A lengthy discussion ensued. Aaron Babcock concluded his presentation stating that the next step is to meet with staff for direction towards a development concept for the park. Babcock noted that a presentation of the development concept will be presented at the April 7, 2014 Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meeting for their consideration and recommendation to City Council. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Minutes February 17, 2014 City of Colleyville Page 4 3f Update of the Senior Center Project Study Director Mary Rodne gave an update of the status of the Senior Center Project Study, noting that Hidell Associates and staff presented findings from the study and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board’s recommendation to City Council at Pre Council on February 4, 2014.

The meeting of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board was adjourned at 7:30 p.m. APPROVED BY A VOTE OF _____ AYES, _____ NAYS, AND _____ ABSTENTIONS ON THIS THE _____ DAY OF April, 2014. Minutes taken and prepared by: Kathy Moore Administrative Secretary City of Colleyville Page 1 City of Colleyville Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Agenda Briefing City Hall 100 Main Street Colleyville, Texas 76034 www.colleyville.com Agenda Number 3a Agenda Date 04/07/2014 Number Type Regular Agenda Items Department Parks and Recreation Title Review and Recommendation for the Longwood property designation Explanation At the October 21, 2013 Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meeting, the Board reviewed a presentation and discussed the appropriate recommendation to City Council on the Longwood property. The Board requested that this item be tabled to the next meeting to allow members the opportunity to tour the property, which was performed on Saturday November 2, 2013. Members of the Board and the City Council walked the property to get a better understanding of site conditions and constraints. At the February 14, 2014 Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Meeting this item was discussed and tabled to allow the four new Park And Recreation Advisory Board members the opportunity to tour the facility. The tour was scheduled for March 29, 2014 and is now brought back before the board to discuss and make a recommendation to council on the property designation. During the April 2, 2013 Pre Council meeting, City Council discussed the designation of the two parcels of donated land totaling approximately 8.1 acres at 7201 Colleyville Boulevard, on the southeast corner of Colleyville Boulevard and Longwood Drive, as park land. These two parcels of land were used in 1999 to obtain a matching grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) for the development of Kimzey Park. At the conclusion of the discussion, the Council recommended that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board review the designation of the land and possible future use. Below is history regarding the land and attached is the presentation from the April 2, 2013 Pre Council meeting. While these two parcels are not now, nor have ever been, a part of Kimzey Park, the grant agreement with TPWD provides that the parcels must be dedicated and held as open space in perpetuity as match for the TPWD grant. A Certificate of Land Dedication for Park Use provided that the property cannot be converted to other than public recreation use without the written approval of the TPWD. TPWD’s approval will not be granted unless the City can prove a competing public necessity for the alterative use and upon the City making a new dedication of matching open space to replace same. Currently, Kimzey Park is comprised of 20.45 acres and is the City's largest Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Agenda Briefing 3a City of Colleyville Page 2 neighborhood park. Amenities include a large pond with a fountain and adjacent fishing pier, pavilion, playground, sand volleyball court and a basketball half- court. There are sidewalks and walkways throughout Kimzey Park. There is a narrow portion of the park extending to the northeast, which connects Kimzey Park to the Big Bear Creek corridor. This portion of the park remains in its natural state and is adjacent to the property at 7201 Colleyville Boulevard. The total acreage of the property at 7201 Colleyville Boulevard is 8.1 acres and 7.3 acres of that total acreage is located within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 100 year floodplain. One of the parcels is entirely located within the floodplain and Little Bear Creek flows through that piece of property. As the majority of the property is located within the FEMA 100 year flood plain, the City will be required to obtain approval from FEMA and possibly other federal agencies in order to build any structures in the flood plain. Attached is the excerpt from the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan regarding floodplain protection strategy. As a point of reference, there are two items that will effect the Longwood property in the short term future. One is the construction on Colleyville Boulevard / SH26 which abuts the property. The other is the Comprehensive Master Plan process approved by City Council on October 15, 2013. An element of the process is the review of the existing Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan to incorporate citizen input related to parks, trails, and recreation issues during the planning process and develop summary chapter related to parks, trails, and recreation for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan, after review with the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and City staff, and modify, as appropriate, per comments received. Attachments 1.Open Space and Park Land Information 2.Master Plan - Floodplain Protection Strategy 3.April 2,2013 Pre Council Presentation In an effort to obtain a better understanding of the Longwood property and fully grasp the difference between open space and park land I have included definitions obtained through the internet. You will also find several pages with excerpts from the 2011 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan that refer to this type of property. Please know that these are excerpts and thus may be out of context. At each excerpt you will find the page number in red so you can refer back to the master plan should you desire. I hope you will find this helpful in preparing for your recommendation to City Council. open space - noun Ecology. Undeveloped land that is protected from development by legislation. What is Open Space/Green Space? Open space is any open piece of land that is undeveloped (has no buildings or other built structures) and is accessible to the public. Open space can include:  Green space (land that is partly or completely covered with grass, trees, shrubs, or other vegetation). Green space includes parks, community gardens, and cemeteries.  Schoolyards  Playgrounds  Public seating areas  Public plazas  Vacant lots Open space provides recreational areas for residents and helps to enhance the beauty and environmental quality of neighborhoods. But with this broad range of recreational sites comes an equally broad range of environmental issues. Just as in any other land uses, the way parks are managed can have good or bad environmental impacts, from pesticide runoff, siltation from overused hiking and logging trails, and destruction of habitat. Park - noun An area of land, usually in a largely natural state, for the en joyment of the public, having facilities for rest and recreation, often owned, set apart, and managed by a city, state, or nation. Definition of park (n) 1. area for public recreation: a publicly owned area of land, usually with grass, trees, paths, sports fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, and other features for recreation and relaxation 2. protected area of countryside: an area of land reserved and managed so that it remains unspoiled, undeveloped, and as natural as possible 3. privately owned recreation facility: an area of privately owned land, developed to offer recreation or amusements to paying customers Preserve Natural Areas (ES – 4) Many people have commented that the beauty of living in Colleyville is found in the balance between the attractive natural landscape and the convenience of the City’s location in the Metroplex. In the telephone survey, respondents almost unanimously agreed that natural areas in Colleyville should be preserved. Furthermore, 80% of respondents support the City acquiring land to preserve these natural areas, especially along creek corridors, and 71% support providing access to natural areas so that citizens can experience Colleyville’s natural beauty first hand. LAND ACQUISITION RECOMMENDATIONS (ES – 7) As Colleyville approaches build-out, the City may consider acquiring land in order to provide space for additional facilities in the future and provide parks in currently under-served portions of the City. In the Citizen Attitude Survey, 80% of respondents feel it is important for the City to “acquire land to preserve environmentally sensitive areas such as natural creek corridors.” Furthermore, 72% think it is important to “acquire land for future park and open space development.” Considering anticipated development and population growth by 2030, the following land acquisitions are recommended. Other Land Acquisition (ES – 8) In addition to considering land for neighborhood and community parks, land and/or permanent easements for open space protection, trails, trailheads, and future facilities should be considered. Specific areas to target for open space protection include the Big Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek corridors. (2 – 11) This goal recognizes the need to enhance flood control without degrading the natural beauty of the City’s creek corridors. This is an important consideration for open space protection and is reflective of the opportunity to provide floodplain management, flood control, and drainage improvements in concert with the provision of open space and linear parks. General Trends (2-15) • As North Texas cities and towns continue to grow and expand, citizens are becoming increasingly aware of the diminishing amounts of open space and natural areas in and around their communities. Similarly, this increased awareness parallels an increased interest in preserving open spaces, rural landscapes, and natural areas along creeks, lakes, wooded areas, prairies, and other environmentally and culturally significant locations. • Related to this increased interest in the preservation of open spaces and natural areas is an increased interest among citizens to consider alternative development strategies within their communities in order to preserve and provide access to natural areas, decrease traffic congestion, encourage walking and bicycling, enhance property values, and increase and enhance recreation opportunities within their community. Alternative development strategies often considered include mixed-use development, new urbanism, and conservation development. • The attributes of a community play a large role in attracting (or detracting) people to a city or region. Research shows that the quality of a city’s environment (its climate, park space, and natural resources) is the most significant factor in attracting new residents. As such, high-quality, high- quantity parks and open space systems will attract people while low-quality, low-quantity parks and open space systems will detract people. The following tables illustrate the importance of a city’s environment on economic and workforce development. Linear Parks (3 – 2) As the name implies, these parks are linear in nature and typically follow natural or manmade features such as creeks, railroads, utility lines, and streets. They vary in size depending on need and opportunity. These parks usually do not provide many amenities other than trails and their support facilities (such as benches, picnic tables, and interpretive signage). Linear parks usually contain trails and are therefore ideal for providing alternative, non-motorized connections to parks, schools, neighborhoods, libraries, retail, and other major destinations. Other than simply providing connections, these parks can provide recreational value by themselves since using trail facilities is one of the most popular recreation activities in most, if not all, communities. The value of a linear park often reaches beyond opportunities for trail connections. Linear parks along creeks, for instance, have the added benefit of providing habitat and migration/movement corridors for wildlife. Open Space Preserves / Nature Areas (3 – 3) Open space preserves and nature areas vary in size but are usually over 25 acres. The specific size of each open space preserve or nature area is based upon the size of the unique or ecologically valuable land that is identified as important to protect. These areas typically have very few facilities other than trails, interpretive signage, and perhaps gathering spaces. Other types of amenities (such as parking and playgrounds) may be appropriate if located near the park’s entrance. These parks serve to preserve and provide access to natural areas such as along creeks, floodplains, wooded areas, lakeshores, prairies, and particular geologic formations or areas of topographic change. As un-programmed space, there is the added benefit that these areas are “self-maintaining.” While there may be the occasional need to check for hazards, maintenance is generally not a significant factor. These are typically considered to be in the other parks category as described above. Kimzey Park (3 – 11) 20.45 acres Kimzey Park is over 20 acres in size and is fairly large for a neighborhood park. It is well integrated within the surrounding neighborhood, as it is mostly bordered by single-loaded roads 2. Many houses overlook the park, rendering it the focal point of the neighborhood. At the center of the park is a large pond with a fountain. Adjacent to the pond is a fishing pier and a pavilion. Other facilities include a playground, a sand volleyball court, and a basketball halfcourt. Many sidewalks and walkways run through and around the park. This park is relatively new and therefore its vegetation has not yet fully matured. A narrow portion of the park extends to the northeast connecting Kimzey Park to the Big Bear Creek corridor. This provides the opportunity to create a direct connection with Grapevine’s trail along Big Bear Creek, which lies within one quarter-mile of the park. Action Statements (4 – 9) Survey respondents were asked how much they agree or disagree with a variety of statements dealing with actions of the Parks and Recreation Department. The overwhelming majority of the survey respondents (94%) strongly agree or agree that natural areas are important and should be preserved where they are available. Future Park and Recreation Actions (4 – 12) Respondents were queried on their opinion regarding various statements on future actions of the Parks and Recreation Department in order to gauge both the City’s past success and opinions concerning the City’s priorities. As indicated in Table 4.10, residents are in support of many potential Parks and Recreation Department actions. The top three most-supported actions include expanding the City’s trail system (6.1:1 support ratio), acquire land to preserve environmentally sensitive areas such as natural creek corridors (4.7:1), and charge user fees for participants of special events (4.7:1). The remaining results are shown in Table 4.10. C. Open Space/Natural Areas (4 – 21) The next topic focused on the open space and natural areas in and around the city. Areas of focus within Colleyville include north of L.D. Lockett, along the Little Bear Creek corridor, as well as other creek corridors and open spaces. Most of the comments were directed toward the protection of all natural areas within the city in order to preserve wildlife habitats and the existing small- town feel of Colleyville. Improvements to the Nature Center, such as adding interpretive/educational signage within the open spaces and natural areas, were suggested. Second Public Meeting Summarized Results (4 - 22) In general, the attendees at the public meeting confirmed that the findings presented were in line with their needs and preferences. Beyond this confirmation, the attendees also discussed the need to expand offerings at current facilities (such as the Senior Center) as a way to make better use of what the city already has. There was further discussion about the importance of trails within the community. Specifically, people commented that they think the City should place new trails along creeks and other natural areas before building trails in other locations. However, people also commented that it is still very important to provide trail and sidewalk connections between neighborhoods and schools. Preserve Natural Areas (4 – 23) The environment, both manmade and natural, is something that attracted many of Colleyville’s residents and has kept them here. Many people have commented that the beauty of living in Colleyville is found in the balance between the attractive natural landscape and the convenience of the City’s location in the Metroplex. In the telephone survey, respondents almost unanimously agreed that natural areas in Colleyville should be preserved. Furthermore, 80% of respondents support the City acquiring land in order to preserve these natural areas, especially along creek corridors. Finally, providing access to natural areas so citizens can experience Colleyville’s natural beauty first hand was also supported by a strong majority of the population (71%). Creek and Floodplains (4 – 40) Colleyville is bound on the north and the south by Big Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek, respectively. These creeks flow relatively parallel to each other in a west to east direction. Creek corridors provide natural beauty to the city and are unique opportunities for recreation. Creeks and their floodplains provide environmental services such as flood protection, wildlife habitat, and improved water quality through natural filtration. Most relevant to this Master Plan, these corridors provide excellent opportunities for trail linkages throughout the city, as well as to adjacent communities. Specific to Colleyville, these creek corridors also serve as unique gateways along Colleyville Boulevard and announce one’s arrival into the city. It is important that these resources be protected by a floodplain management strategy that protects the character and beauty of the floodplains while also supporting economic development. In areas subjected to regular flooding, one option is for the City to acquire the land, rather than implement extensive and often expensive erosion protection measures. This provides the City the opportunity to ensure the protection of healthy and functional ecosystem while simultaneously acquiring much needed park land. The City has experience with this type of acquisition. Specifically, L.D. Lockett Park was acquired as part of a flood control project. The protection and management of creeks and floodplains require the support, sensitive approach, and buy-in from all other relevant City departments including the Public Works Department and Economic Development Department. Floodplain Protection Strategy (5 – 1) In Colleyville, the majority of natural open space exists within the floodplains of Big Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek. Floodplains provide tremendous recreation opportunities within the City’s parks system. Therefore, the Master Plan recommends the development of a floodplain management strategy as shown on the following page. Protecting Colleyville’s floodplains will help the City achieve its goal of becoming the environmental leader in Tarrant County. The areas along Colleyville’s creeks have great value for commercial and residential development, as well as open space preservation. Balancing these seemingly disparate functions is a challenge, yet it is recommended that the City make it a goal to strike this balance in order to encourage economic development while preserving Colleyville’s natural beauty. In addition to the existing Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, it is recommended that the City of Colleyville adopt a floodplain protection strategy that preserves the city’s creek corridors. The floodplain protection strategy should make use of guidelines, public-private partnerships, and developer incentives by including policies relative to six concepts: • Strategically acquire a permanent trail easement where the 2005 Pathways Plan or this Master Plan shows a planned trail passing through the creek corridor. Access easements minimize the cost to the City to develop trails (versus purchasing land) and provide assistance to landowners for maintaining the area. • Land and developments along creek corridors sell for a premium and benefit greatly when trails or other amenities are located along the corridor. To encourage the provision of publicly accessible trails and amenities in the corridor, the City should partner with private developers to encourage the provision of such amenities. Cost sharing and developer incentives should be considered. • Avoid locating high-intensity recreation facilities within the floodplain. Ballfields and other high-intensity recreation facilities, like concession stands and restrooms, often require floodplain reclamation and the removal of trees and disturbance of floodplain vegetation, which has the function of slowing down surface water and filtering pollutants. While it is often desirable to have parks that include these types of facilities adjacent to creek corridors, it is important to ensure that the intensely developed portions of these parks are outside of the floodplain. • Develop guidelines regarding the management of floodplain land (including the clearing/removal of vegetation, mowing, and wildlife management). Educate landowners (large and small) and developers on the value of floodplains and provide them with these floodplain management guidelines. • Floodplain reclamation can impact public safety, water quality, aesthetics, and tree cover and can increase erosion locally and downstream. However, properties adjacent to creek corridors are some of the most desirable pieces of land in the city. Therefore, the City of Colleyville should provide best practice guidelines for floodplain reclamation, the placement and design of structures, and the provision of trails and other amenities in environmentally sensitive areas. • The City should consider incentivizing developers for exercising Low Impact Development (storm water best management practices) and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Sustainable Sites practices. Linear Parks and Open Space (5 – 6) It is recommended that the City acquire key pieces of natural open space along creek corridors for use as linear parks or nature preserves. In general, the City should seek to acquire land that is along a planned trail corridor or that has unique ecological value. Potential maintenance challenges should be considered when determining whether a piece of land should be acquired. In some instances, the City may choose to acquire a permanent trail easement rather than purchase land. This will reduce overall costs to the City and might require less maintenance. HIGH PRIORITY NEEDS (6 – 1) The following lists the recommended priorities for parks, recreation, and open space in Colleyville. These priorities have been developed utilizing demand- based needs, standards, city staff and city official input, and guidance from the Planning Team to provide a set of implementation items to enhance quality of life in Colleyville. The priorities are broken into two lists: one for outdoor facilities and one for indoor facilities. Overall Parks, Recreation and Open Space Priorities (Recommended) Beyond these recommended priorities, it is important to consider land acquisition as an underlying priority related to several of these items. Outdoor Facilities 1. Hike and Bike Trails 2. Neighborhood Park Development 3. Open Space Protection 4. Additional Multi-Purpose Practice Fields opportunities and Open Play Areas Indoor Facilities 1. Rebrand the Senior Center to reflect amore community-oriented operation without decreasing the programming opportunities for adults 50 and older. Other Land Acquisition (6 – 6) In addition to acquiring land for neighborhood and community parks, there is a need to acquire land for open space protection, trails, trailheads, and future facilities. Alternatively, this land could be made available to the public through dedicated easements, rather than land acquisition. Such would minimize the cost to the City and taxpayers, but would still allow the provision of trails and other amenities. The most significant land acquisition item in the Implementation Plan is for open space land so that it may be protected and preserved. Although shown as an act of acquisition, this land could also be protected and made accessible to the public through dedicated easements and agreements with developers and landowners. Such agreements could allow for unique corridors that are linked to and interact with surrounding development through trails, green space, view corridors, and semi-private spaces like outdoor dining areas, etc. Specific areas to target for open space acquisition or for gaining such easements include the Big Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek corridors. Chapter 5 – Recommendations 5 – 1 Chapter 5 Recommendations This chapter contains a series of recommendations for the improvement and future expansion of Colleyville’s parks, recreation, and open space system. These recommendations are based upon the vision and goals (Chapter 1), the City’s context (Chapter 2) the analysis of existing conditions (Chapter 3), and the needs assessment (Chapter 4). The recommendations contained herein should be initiated or implemented over the general life of this Master Plan, which covers the next five to ten years. Recommended items in this chapter are prioritized in Chapter 6 – Implementation. The recommendations fall into four general categories: • Strategic Policy – Strategies and policies to ensure the maintenance of Colleyville’s unique rural character, to protect its natural beauty, and to expand the parks, recreation, and open space system parallel to the pace of growth. • Land Acquisition – Recommendations for acquiring land based on needs and opportunities. • Park and Facility Development – Guidelines for developing new parks, enhancing existing parks, and number and type of outdoor and indoor recreation facilities that should be implemented within the next five years. • Pathways Plan – Recommended changes to the Pathways Plan, prioritization of future trail segments, and identification of future opportunities. STRATEGIC POLICY Based upon the symbiotic relationship between development and the quality and quantity of park land and open spaces, it would be beneficial to establish a paradigm in which the City can reach its maximum development potential while enhancing quality of life for its citizens. This Master Plan is not intended to replace the City’s policies and actions related to development and planning. The recommended strategic policies and implementation items go beyond the sole responsibility of the Colleyville Parks and Recreation Department (CVPARD) and will best be realized through integrated, cohesive efforts among City departments. The cumulative results of these implementation items greatly enhance the ability of the City as a whole to achieve its goals. Floodplain Protection Strategy In Colleyville, the majority of natural open space exists within the floodplains of Big Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek. Floodplains provide tremendous recreation opportunities within the City’s parks system. Therefore, the Master Plan recommends the development of a floodplain management strategy as shown on the following page. Protecting Colleyville’s floodplains will help the City achieve its goal of becoming the environmental leader in Tarrant County. The areas along Colleyville’s creeks have great value for commercial and residential development, as well as open space preservation. Balancing these seemingly disparate functions City of Colleyville 2011 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan 5 – 2 is a challenge, yet it is recommended that the City make it a goal to strike this balance in order to encourage economic development while preserving Colleyville’s natural beauty. In addition to the existing Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, it is recommended that the City of Colleyville adopt a floodplain protection strategy that preserves the city’s creek corridors. The floodplain protection strategy should make use of guidelines, public-private partnerships, and developer incentives by including policies relative to six concepts: • Strategically acquire a permanent trail easement where the 2005 Pathways Plan or this Master Plan shows a planned trail passing through the creek corridor. Access easements minimize the cost to the City to develop trails (versus purchasing land) and provide assistance to landowners for maintaining the area. • Land and developments along creek corridors sell for a premium and benefit greatly when trails or other amenities are located along the corridor. To encourage the provision of publicly accessible trails and amenities in the corridor, the City should partner with private developers to encourage the provision of such amenities. Cost sharing and developer incentives should be considered. • Avoid locating high-intensity recreation facilities within the floodplain. Ballfields and other high-intensity recreation facilities, like concession stands and restrooms, often require floodplain reclamation and the removal of trees and disturbance of floodplain vegetation, which has the function of slowing down surface water and filtering pollutants. While it is often desirable to have parks that include these types of facilities adjacent to creek corridors, it is important to ensure that the intensely developed portions of these parks are outside of the floodplain. • Develop guidelines regarding the management of floodplain land (including the clearing/removal of vegetation, mowing, and wildlife management). Educate landowners (large and small) and developers on the value of floodplains and provide them with these floodplain management guidelines. • Floodplain reclamation can impact public safety, water quality, aesthetics, and tree cover and can increase erosion locally and downstream. However, properties adjacent to creek corridors are some of the most desirable pieces of land in the city. Therefore, the City of Colleyville should provide best practice guidelines for floodplain reclamation, the placement and design of structures, and the provision of trails and other amenities in environmentally sensitive areas. • The City should consider incentivizing developers for exercising Low Impact Development (stormwater best management practices) and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Sustainable Sites practices.

The first is the original fencing around the fields that is at the end of its useful life with an estimated cost of $25,000. The other is the original irrigation components and configuration on the game fields, which were installed during the construction of the Complex in 1994. With changes in irrigation technology and equipment and recent water restrictions that were not in effect in the 1990's, the irrigation system needs to be reconfigured and replaced to provide maximum watering efficiency with the least use of water possible. Again, this is the original irrigation configuration, and replacement of the system on the game fields is estimated to cost $100,000. As contained in the attached excerpt from the Executive Summary of the 2011 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan adopted in December 2011, there is an identified need for three additional playgrounds. The Complex is used by over 1,000 participants and their families during the both the spring and fall seasons, and there is not a playground on the site close to the game fields. Due to the consistent large number of visitors to this site during both seasons and its adjacency to the Cotton Belt trail, staff is recommending the placement of a playground on this site. The total cost of the three recommended improvements is $200,000, and the recommended source of funding is the Park Land Dedication Fund. The improvements are an allowable use of funds under the provisions of attached Ordinance O-98-1129. There is an unallocated balance of $1,411,543 as of February 28, 2014, per the attachment - Financial Status of the Park Land Dedication Fund. Staff is seeking approval from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee to present this request for approval of the Park Land dedication Committee and subsequent City Council approval.

However, alevel of serviceanalysis of practice facilities and non-athletic outdoor recreation facilities does indicate a need(see Figure ES 3). These needs align with the results of the public involvement process,in which many residents expressed the need for more trails and passive park amenities for family use. The majority of the facilities shown in Figure ES 3 can be constructed along with park development; however, some recreational facilities could be constructed independently of other park development projects.
