Robert Stripling, City Manager Skip Keller, Parks and Recreation Coordinator COLLEYVILLE CITY PARK -PHASE II PARK BOARD MEETING April 6, 1998 CONSTRUCTION STATUS: City Park construction is going well. The recent weather has enabled us to increase the pace of the work being done. Even though the last two weeks have been highly productive, the rain delays we have experienced this spring will cause the final completion date to be in September 1998. Many items in the park are starting to take shape and become identifiable: • You can see the 8' wide concrete trail system around the site start to unfold. • Three of the ballfields now have the backstop posts installed, which outline the infields. • The Concession Stand !Restroom Building is almost completely bricked and roofed. • The Maintenance Building is completely bricked and roofed. • The Pavilion /Restroom Building is taking shape. • All 6 Tennis Court slabs are poured. • The Basketball / Inline Hockey Court slab is poured. The next month of construction will include more concrete trail, concrete plaza areas at ballfields, lightpoles, herbicide for rye grass, building finish items, irrigation system, and ballfield layouts. r:. ~E~ .~~\~ ~a r.. ,¢.. a~ C ' r... .~ •• cj x~: ~~ ~:~~r ;: ~ ~ a. ~~ ;':~~ ~ S ~ ~'~~.i4?6 '`j` ti .~~~aA" . ....:.z< +t •. ~:~:~• Vic:?..::::x ~u n-Park. -- This is the second in a series of newsletters informing interested citizens and stakeholders about the McPherson Park Master Plan. The City of Colleyville and its consultant team have prepared it to give you brief, clear information about the project's status, past and future meetings, and upcoming action items. Public involvement meetings provide dialogue The public meetings held to date for this high-profile project have proven to be both informative and productive. A public involvement meeting was held February IOth at City Hall. Members of the City staff and consultant team outlined the goals and objectives of the project and discussed specific design and engineering subjects. These included various elevated water tank styles, tank site locations, and preliminary routes for the I b-inch water transmission main running from the Overland Trail Pump Station to the new elevated tank. The next public involvement meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 16th, 6:30 p.m. at Colleyville C'rcy Hall (5400 Bransford Road): Topics to be discussed include: ^ Results of the architectural Facility Evaluation Report (FER) ^ Details of the Final Master Plan for McPherson Park, including incorporation of the FER ^ Status of the elevated water tank and water line design projects As always, all interested citizens and stakeholders in the project are welcome and encour- aged to attend. Facility Evaluation Report complete As part of the Master Plan for this program, the City commissioned its consultant team to evaluate the site's existing buildings/structures for potential use in the future McPherson Park. This evaluation included visual inspection, estimates of the cost to bring these build- ings "up to code," and overall recommendations on their reuse potential. The report yielded the following information for the I 0 key structures on the site: Est. Cost to Meet ~_ Building/Structure PresentCondition ~; Code/Renovate Brick House Poor $90,000 -120,000 Stone House Fair $46,000 - 66,000 Concrete-Block House Fair $ 2,000 - 8,000 Dairy Barn Poor/fair $16,000 - 26,000 Barn #1 Poor $30,000 - 45,000 Barn #2 Poor/Fair $45,000 - 70,000 Barn #3 Poor $13,000 - 21,000 Pole Barn Fair $ 2,000 - 5,000 Storage Buildings (2) fair $ 2,000 - 5,000 Key findings or recommendations of the facility evaluation include: ^ None of the buildings comply with current building and electrical codes, the Americans with Disability Act, or Texas Accessibility Standards requirements ^ Some of the buildings are in poor condi- tion, or their construction is not appropri- ate for public use ^ The estimated cost to replace certain structures is equal to or less than the prob- able renovation cost ^ Materials from removed buildings (such as bricks, stones, etc.) could be incorporated into new on-site structures. While preserving the site's historic, rural, and agricultural character remains a guiding principle for the park planning effort, the findings of the FER underscore the significant costs associated with bringing the facilities up to compliance for public use. The report's findings and recom- mendations will be discussed at the April 16 meeting. Water tank design under review The most prominent structure planned for McPherson Park-the elevated water tank-is taking final shape on the design table. Here are facts and features of the tank: ^ Height is approximately 140 feet (high- water level) ^ Holds I million gallons of water • Structure is composite type: reinforced concrete pedestal and steel "bowl" ^ A vehicle entrance is located at base of pedestal for equipment/staff access ^ Design includes possible 2nd floor for city maintenance, operations, and storage pur- poses A preliminary detail drawing of the proposed McPherson Park elevated tank is shown on the back of this newsletter. MEMORANDUM TO: Parks and Recreation Advisory Board FROM: Dianne McWethy, Assistant City Manager ~0~'~ DATE: April 6, 1998 SUBJECT: Sparger Park Trail Bridge On Thursday, March 19, 1998, staff performed an on-site inspection of the Sparger Park Trail Bridge. This on-site inspection revealed the following: 1) the northwest bridge abutment has undergone severe channel scour and erosion and is no longer stable; 2) the west upstream channel bank has become unstable; and 3) the northwest abutment will most likely be completed undermined during the next similar storm event, which would destroy the bridge. Upon completion of these findings, staff determined that the bridge should be closed immediately. On March 31, 1998, staff notified the Tara Neighborhood Association of the current status of the bridge. (See attached). Mr. Hardy Sanders, resident of Tara, was also notified concerning the status of the bridge. In order to restore pedestrian traffic to the bridge as soon as possible, staff is reviewing alternatives for the bridge. We will be working with Teague, Nall 8~ Perkins to assist us to evaluate the bridge and to identify alternatives for repair and/or reconstruction of the bridge, as well as construction of a new bridge. Upon completion of the engineering study, staff will be prepared to meet with representatives of the Tara Neighborhood Association to review and discuss alternatives for this bridge. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will be requested to review the engineering study and approve the final design, location and budget for the project to provide a recommendation to the City Council. The most likely source of funds for this project would be the Voluntary Park Fund or the Park Land Dedication Fund. Staff will continue to keep your apprised of this project. If you have any questions or need additional information, contact me at 577-7575, extension 204. xx: Skip Keller, Parks and Recreation Coordinator Attachments G~tY of -- ~ B Il~ Texas -March 31, 1998 Tara Neighborhood Association Ben Allen, President 1312 Plantation Drive, South Colleyville, Texas 76034 Dear Mr. Allen: It is my understanding that approximately five years ago, the Sparger Park Trail Bridge was damaged by flood waters and the City worked with the Tara Neighborhood Association to repair the bridge. We appreciate the past support of the Association and want to make you aware of our current concerns about the bridge. As a result of the recent flooding, staff performed an on-site inspection of the bridge. This on-site inspection revealed the following: 1) the northwest bridge abutment has undergone severe channel scour and erosion and is no longer stable; 2) the west upstream channel bank has become unstable; and 3) the northwest abutment will most likely be completed undermined during the next similar storm event, which would destroy the bridge. Upon completion of review of these findings, staff determined that the bridge should be closed immediately. (See attached photographs). In order to restore pedestrian traffic to the bridge as soon as possible, staff is reviewing alternatives for the bridge. We will be working with Teague, Nall 8~ Perkins to assist us to evaluate the bridge and to identify alternatives for repair and/or reconstruction of the bridge, as well as construction of a new bridge. The City is interested in working with the Tara Neighborhood Association to review alternatives for this bridge.

Robert Stripling, City Manager Jim Foster, Public Services Director Randy Brown, Public Works Manager Skip Keller, Parks and Recreation Coordinator MEMORANDUM TO: Bob Stripling, City Manager FROM: Dianne McWethy, Assistant City Manage ~ DATE: April 6, 1998 SUBJECT: Woodbriar West Estates, Park I am writing to inform you that the Leadership Colleyville XI class has identified the Woodbriar West Estates Park for their class project. The planning committee has prepared, to date, the following suggestions and recommendations for improvements to the park: 1) Enhance the park site with additional landscaping to serve as a buffer between the homes and the park; 2) Construct a gazebo with a slab floor; (See attached schematic designs); 3) Construct an arbor with a gravel floor; (See attached schematic design); 4) Provide volunteers to design and build the gazebo and arbor and to landscape the park; 5) Solicit donation of materials and equipment, e.g., wood and benches; and 6) Assist City staff to install the playground equipment and park benches. The class has also discussed having a contest to name the park. It is my understanding that the current name of the park is Woodbriar Park. There are several issues that will need to be addressed with the class which are: 1) the participation of the Woodbriar Estates West neighborhood; 2) the recommendation and approval of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board; and 3) the approval of the City Council. I will brief the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board tonight at their regular meeting. If you have any questions or need additional information, contact me.
