REGULAR AGENDA
Agenda Item No. 4. Public Forum
Chairman Cornish opened the Public Forum. There was no one present to address the
Board at this time, so Public Forum was closed.
Public Forum was closed.
Agenda Item No. 5-A. Consider: Absence of Parks and Recreation Board Member(s)
There were no absences to consider at this meeting. No motion was required for this item.
Agenda Item No. 5-B. Consider: Recommendation to approve proposed recognition
signage for Bob Jones Park batting cages
The Bob Jones Park batting cages were constructed in 2004 at a cost of approximately
$45,000, equally funded through the Southlake Girls Softball Association and SPDC
Matching Funds program. As part of the SPDC Matching Funds policy, recognition
signage within the parks may be designated for such projects with approval by the Parks
Board.
The Southlake Girls Softball Association (SGSA) proposes recognizing sponsors of the
batting cages by installing four engravings/etchings within the concrete walkway leading
to the batting cages. Each etching would be about three feet in diameter, in the shape of a
softball with seams, and colored with a light yellow glaze. Dedication wording would be
placed within the softball. Estimated cost of $1,600 will be borne by SGSA.
Board members favored the SGSA proposal from an aesthetics and durability standpoint.
One member suggested similar recognition be done for any donations to sports facilities
construction/improvements. Another Board member suggested plaques be mounted on on
the fence, similar to the recognition plaques at the Tennis Center.

Agenda Item No. 6A. Discussion: Southlake Baseball Association (SBA) presentation of
current field issues
In conjunction with the current updating of the Park Master Plan, the Southlake Baseball
Association (SBA) proposed some conceptual ideas of possible future facility needs and
the potential use of the Evans property west of the drainage channel in Bicentennial Park
for game fields and the need for increased practice field space.
J.B. Manning, president, Southlake Baseball Association, and Max Factor, field
manager, expressed appreciation to the Board and staff for their help. Mr. Manning
presented a handout of the SBA's desires for field use in Bicentennial Park and asked the
Board for direction on their next step. The hand-out included the following general items:
• A joint use facility baseball stadium with batting cages, tunnels,
concessions, restrooms, souvenir shop with trees and lighting.
• A standard field configuration for three additional fields for high
school/JV practice and SBA games and practice.
• Update existing softball practice fields for tournament play.
• Upgrade existing fields, dugouts, concessions and add plantings/trees.
• Upgrade access to and surrounding Liberty Garden area to make more
accessible and improve lighting and security to the area. Make it part of
White Chapel "gateway" to park as whole. Engage the standing Pine trees
into the Liberty Garden with walking paths.
• Bring the White Chapel entrance through to connect to the parking below
and allow access to other exi' ! 1-
• Upgrade White Chapel entrance with a brick entrance surrounded by trees
and plantings with appropriate lighting for security and aesthetics.
• Add additional entrance on Shady Oaks.
• Add a turn lane in/out on Shady Oaks depending on traffic studies.
• Add sidewalks on Shady Oaks towards neighborhoods and Durham
schools. Coordinate with Public Works Department to continue Capital
Improvements Program to connect with sidewalks all the way to Durham
schools, and all the way to Highland Drive.
• Add plantings/trees throughout park and upgrade the picnic facilities
• Add parking near the new fields and stadium.
• Other possibilities - sand volleyball courts, horseshoe pit, etc.

SBA said their mainpriority is the upgrading of the existing fields in Bicentennial Park
which would amount to about the same cost as construction of new fields.
SBA was encouraged to become involved in the next phase of the Liberty Garden
construction.
Although SBA was asked to provide some type of artists rendering of SBA's proposed
improvements to Bicentennial Park, it was suggested that staff draft a schematic of the
park instead. A conceptual drawing might be helpful for the Board to envision the extent
of the SBA proposal.
It is important also to see the pros and cons of reconstructing the existing fields in their
current configurations versus building new fields and leaving the existing fields and what
the total impact of each scenario would be on the total community.
There is merit to the idea of entertaining discussions about partnering with the CISD or
other organizations for development of the facilities.
Agenda Item No. 6B. Discussion: Pee-Wee Football Field Use Issues
Representative from the Pee-Wee Football Association spoke in Public Forum at the
February 17, 2005 meeting and requested to be placed on the Park Board agenda to
outline their need for lighted and unlighted practice and game fields. There were no
representatives from the Pee-Wee Football Association present at this meeting.
Currently, the City has in place facilities utilization agreements with the Southlake
Baseball Association, Grapevine Southlake Soccer Association, Southlake Girl's Softball
Association and Southlake Carroll Lacrosse Association which provides for field
allocations for each of the associations and the City's recreation leagues. Pee-Wee
Football Association has requested that lighted field space currently allocated for those
associations holding facilities utilization agreements to be reallocated to football.
Staff has met with a representative of the Pee-Wee Football Association and encouraged
them to work with staff to develop a field use agreement that would allow them some
type of field space if possible. Several temporary sites that might provide some unlighted
practice space have been identified by staff. The Pee-Wee Football Association has also
been asked to meet with representatives of the other sports associations to discuss their
needs in an effort to determine if there is an opportunity to share existing space
allocations.
Board members favored having the Pee-Wee Football Association enter into a facilities
utilization agreement with the City and to work with the other four sports associations
and staff prior to any discussions to accommodate field space needs.

17
18 The Park Board approved the site location for a Dog Park in Bob Jones Park at the
19 January 10, 2005 meeting. The next item requiring public approval is for matching funds
20 in the amount of $12,500 requested by Boo-Boo's Buddies. Total estimated construction
21 cost for the dog park is $55,000. SPDC funds of $30,000 exist for FY 04-05 and Boo-
22 Boo's Buddies has raised $12,500. A copy of the Matching Funds Request, site location
23 map and preliminary cost estimates are attached to the approved minutes on file in the
24 Office of the City Secretary.
25
26 A recommendation was made that staff attend the Texas Parks and Wildlife trade show to
27 attend the dog park session and to visit other dog parks before the City begins
28 construction.
29
30 It was clarified that the Park Board had approved the site location on January 10, 2005,
31 not a Site Plan per se. There is no Site Plan required by the Building Department,
32 Planning & Zoning Commission or City Council for this item. The previous motion was
33 to approve the site pending the outcome of public input for the Master Plan and then
34 assuming there were no major issues, the item would move forward. It is anticipated that
35 the Master Plan will be adopted in May/June, 2005.
36
37 There was some concern about approving the funding in the form of matching funds,
38 without having detailed design information, however, the graphic depiction presented did
39 provide a conceptual layout of the park and did demonstrate the specific layout of where
40 the dog park will be located, the general layout of the fences as related to the parking
41 area, the number of benches and shade canopies and approximate locations for the water
42 fountains. Prior to construction, staff may present a visual layout of the actual fence,
43 shade structures and water fountains. Benches, picnic tables are standard items. Board
44 members were invited to visit the site to see the staked layout. A contingency was not
45 figured into the cost estimate.

12 Agenda Item No 5-E. Authorize the mayor to execute a commercial developer's
13 agreement for Town Square Phase IV Grand Avenue District
14
15 The developer of Town Square was seeking Park Board approval of a commercial
16 developer agreement as it relates to public amenities in the Grand Avenue District, which
17 included public park land dedication and construction costs. The proposal was to dedicate
18 3.543 acres of park land to the city in a 0.283 "Plaza Park" and 3.26 acre in "West Park."
19 This amount exceeds the 0.76359 acres required. Total park dedication credits would be
20 4.7537 acres if the dedication of park land is approved.
21
22 Staff identified items in the development that qualify as park construction items, such as
23 benches, landscaping, trees, irrigation, grading work of the park itself, pavers, trellis,
24 signage, and others. Some of the construction costs associated with the pond itself, such
25 as the hardedges, fountains, may be considered as part of the park construction costs, but
26 because the pond serves also as a drainage item, staff's viewpoint was that it is part of the
27 developer's drainage costs and not necessarily part of park construction.
28
29 Brian Stebbins, Southlake Town Square developer, and Frank Bliss, 1008 Quail Run
30 Road, Cooper and Stebbins, presented an overview of the TIF, the affect the development
31 of the Brownstones and Grand Avenue District will have on taxes (which will result in
32 approximately $11 million dollars per year) and a detailed conceptual plan of the Grand
33 Avenue District. The developer asked the Board if they were comfortable, based on the
34 plan presented, that the amenities constitute the kinds of things for the $1 million dollars
35 they anticipate going into the parks. The developer asked the Board to approve the
36 commercial developer agreement and act on two specific requests in the developer
37 agreement: 1) to make a recommendation to City Council to accept the parks to operate
38 and maintain once completed (since the Board approves of the amenities as presented in
39 the concept of the parks) and 2) for approval of the park fees when completed.
40
41 During the developer's presentation, the scope of park dedication issues, including
42 grading and infrastructure costs related to the water feature in the park and expenditure of
43 $1,000,000 for construction of park amenities as required by the Tax Increment
44 Financing (TIF) Zone were identified.

27 Design Fees $ 90,000
28
29 Grand Total $ 1.2 million*
30
31 * Does include grading infrastructure relative to the parks, but does not include another
32 $80,000 which is for specific drainage infrastructure (headwalls, clay liner and pond
33 essentials).
34
35 The developer was in favor of applying 3.543 acres to the full park credit and asked the
36 Board to consider what portion of the 3.543 acres should be counted toward calculation
37 of the fee credit or if some portion of the 3.543 acres should be allocated to drainage. His
38 position was that theoretically it does serve a drainage function, but from a practical
39 standpoint it is a community park and lakes are a wonderful amenity. The pond was more
40 than a detention area since a lot of money was being spent to bring it up to a true lake
41 amenity.
42
43 Due to some confusion in the different drafts of the developer agreements, the developer
44 clarified exactly what the Board was being asked to approve in park fee credits. The
45 developer would contribute 3.543 acres of park land. The requirement was only 0.6359
46 acres. That leaves a credit of 2.9071 acres to be carried forward to future phases. When

1 the 2.9071 acres is added to 1.8466 acres, which was received from prior phases, the total
2 carry-over credit would be 4.7537 acres credit. Note that the actual park dedication fee
3 credits shown in the commercial developer agreement would be adjusted prior to Council
4 review based on the motion and recommendation approved by the Park Board tonight.
5
6 The other request was that the Park Board approves the "Amenities" section of the
7 commercial developer agreement because certain amenities in Town Square will become
8 public property when completed and accepted by the City.
9
10 A motion was made that we [Park Board] accept the dedication of 3.543 acres which
11 will occur in terms of two different parks - Plaza Park and West Park - for
12 dedication and that we [Park Board] also accept the concept that was presented in
13 the commercial developer's agreement and the City take ownership of those park
14 features upon acceptance of the parks themselves after development. This motion
15 would mean that we [Park Board] are recommending as a board for the City
16 Council and the mayor to move forward with this agreement. Added to the motion
17 was: I'm suggesting to give full credit [to include the water area] because it does
18 offer a waterscape feature, which our citizens have often said that is a very desirable
19 feature instead of just a regular pond.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
BooBoo's Buddies is a local organization whose objective is to raise funds and awareness for
the development and maintenance of a dog park in Southlake. The purpose of a dog park is to
provide social and recreational opportunities for pet owners and their dogs within a controlled
environment that allows off leash opportunities. In collaboration with the Southlake Parks and
Recreation Department, the BooBoo's Buddies organization has held 2 pet event fundraisers
that have raised about $12,500. A site plan at Bob Jones park has been approved by the park
board, and BooBoo's Buddies is requesting matching funds to complete funding for the project.
Proposed Start Date: April 1, 2005 Projected Completion Date: May 15, 2005
Projected Cost: $55,000 Amount of Funds Requested: $12,500
