SUBJECT:
8B
PAUL HOKENESS, PARKS & RECREATION DIRECTOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO 1997 PARKS
AND TRAIL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
APRIL 21,1997
DATE:
BACKGROUND:
There have been certain development changes as well as
community requests which staff feels warrant changes in the 1997
Parks and Trail Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
Attached is a list of those items which are recommended to be
added to the 1997 C.I.P. as well as one item which is recommended
for removal.
PLAYGROUNDS
Wilds: We have been informed by the Developer that there have
been many requests from homeowners for playground equipment at
the Wilds. As this development proceeds it is apparent that there
are more families with children moving in.
TRAILS / SIDEWALKS
Woodview: Now that Pheasant Meadows is being developed it is
important for us to complete the trail segment which runs from
Pheasant Meadows to Spruce Trail. The neighbors on Spruce Trail
have also requested that this trail section be constructed. This trail
section was identified in the Comprehensive Plan.
Raspberrv Ridge: The neighbors have requested that we install a
trail from Raspberry Ridge Road through the park to Lords Street.
This trail section will eventually tie into the trail on 21. This trail
connection was identified in the Comprehensive Plan.
Willows: We will be installing new playground equipment at
Willows park this year and staff feels that it is critical that we have
a trail section which will lead from the street to the existing picnic
shelter and new playground. We would also include four parking
bays on Elm Ave. which would include one disabled parking stall.
This is necessary to provide accessibility to the shelter and
playground.

FISCAL IMPACT:
AGREPCIP.DOC
Cardinal Ridge: The original trail concept included a trail that
would run along the southern portion of the development and tie
into Fish Point Road. After further investigation it was determined
that due to the severe topography and a large area of trees that it
would not be practical to build this trail section. In place of this
trail section we have worked with the developer to include a
sidewalk on Victoria Curve. This sidewalk will complete the trail
connection from County Road 44 to Fish Point Road.
BASKETBALL COURTS
Raspberrv Ridge: This court was a suggestion of P.L.A.Y. (Hoops
in the park program) as well as the residents. P.L.A.V. will be
contributing an additional $3,000.00 towards the installation of this
court. The total cost of a half court is approximately $6,000.00.
Indian Ridge: This court was also a suggestion of P.L.A.Y. as well
as the neighbors.
OTHER PROJECTS (RESILIENT SURFACING)
Carriage Hills and Woodridge Parks: These two playgrounds were
installed in 1996 and at that time we included resilient surfacing to
the playground structure but did not have the money to provide the
resilient surfacing which leads to the swings. During installation
we made the necessary provisions (curb cuts and path connections)
to add the resilient surface at a later date. This resilient surface will
allow accessibility to the swing set. Future playground purchases
will include all resilient surfacing at the time of installation.
These Proposed 1997 improvements will satisfy the current
community requests and keep us on track for future improvements.
The original 1997 Parks and Trails c.I.P. which was approved by
the Council totaled $185,000.00 in projects. The proposed
amendment would bring that total to $224,500.00.

The balance in the Capital Park Fund as of January 1, 1997 was
$258,072.00. The projected revenue for 1997 is $170,00.00. If the
amendments to the c.I.P. are approved the balance at years end
would be approximately $203,572.00. (See attached analysis)
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Amend the 1997 Capital Improvement Program and allow staff
to proceed with the Park and Trail projects as recommended in this
report.
2. Do not approve the amendment to the 1997 Capital Improvement
Program and proceed with the projects as originally scheduled.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative #1. This alternative would allow for
the best use of funds which are included in the Parks and Trail
Capital Improvement Program.
ACTION REQUIRED: Motion and second to approve the amendments to the 1997 Parks
and Trail Ca ital Improvement Program.
