1986-11-19CITY OF SOUTHLAKE PARK AND RECREATION BOARD MEETING November 19, 1986 - 7:00 pm Present: James Arnold, Tom Walker, Ann Barnes, Aloha Payne, and Betty Springer. Bill LeGrand, David McMahan, and Johnny Westerholm. Absents Phillip Bressinck, Freddy Cate. (Dan Tanner and Bill LaFavers have verbally resigned.) The meeting was called to order by James Arnold. The minutes of the September 10, 1986, meeting were approved. The minutes of the November 12, 1986, meeting were approved with an amendment indicating the acreage near the new elementary school should read 43 acres instead of 3 acres. Copies of a pictorial presentation of the Mary Stone Myers property on Carroll Road were distributed. Also, photos of the building the Lions Club proposes to place in Bicentennial Park were passed out. Discussion then followed regarding the Mary Stone Myers property. Phillip Bressinck, Aloha Payne, Ann Barnes, Tom Walker, and Betty Springer have all personally examined the property recently and felt it deserved serious consideration by the city for a future park. Discussion of the Lions Club building followed. Several board members expressed concerns about the condition of the building and the amount of repair work necessary to bring it up to safety standards. It was agreed by the Park Board that we would like to have the Lions Club provide us with a work schedule indicating what work was to be done and an estimated time table for completion of the various phases. David McMahan indicated he would be attending a Lions Club board meeting later that evening and would pass along our concerns and our request for a work schedule. Aloha Payne had gotten population growth figures from the city which indicated the following: 1982-3200 1983... 3600 1984... 4300 1985... 4600 1986 ... 5100 1987... nya eok Various maximum population figures have been discussed over *4w the past months, but David McMahan felt 25,000 would be a reasonble max. estimation. David indicated he would like us to review a number of properties and rate them according to size, prize, terms, IEZIF-qq possibilities, etc. Phillip Bressinck has already started on such a listing. The Board then indicated to Bill LeGrand that we felt the following priority list was reasonable for work on the existing park: Grading and paving parking lot; sidewalks around concession stand; sprinkler system; seed and sod; and playground completion. Betty Springer stated she felt we should commend Paul Ibarra, the parks department employee, for his fine work. The Board agreed. No meeting was set for December. at 8:15 Pm.

Johnson Elementary School. / TOPOGRAPHY A portion of the property lies within the 100 year flood plain. The terrain is essentially level and should lend itself well to athletic field development. Picturesque creek, shaded with old native trees, winds its way through the property, which is remarkably suited for nature trails, jogging, picnicking, and other recreational activities. IMPROVEMENTS Approximately 30 year old brick veneer residence with 3 bedrooms, and T shaped living/dining/den combination. Bath one in master suite, bath two between two bedrooms, and a third bath opening into two car garage. This spacious residence is well arranged for non- residential uses. The 4pacious T shaped living area will accommodate sizable meetings; the three bedrooms may be utilized for office space; and the garage could provide equipment storage and parking. Roomy kitchen with eating area, plus equally large laundry room with additional oven, sink, and cabinet storage. Much of the attic is floored for storage or potential internal expansion. UTILITES All city utilites are available to the property except sanitary sewer. Residence is now served with LP Gas, however natural gas is available. ya. +4F (L A► a �' � .,�'" ` .

Bressinck Senior Vice President November 18, 1986 Mr. James Arnold Chairman Park Board City of Southlake Re: Future Park 38.609 Acres Carroll Road Dear James: I will be out of town for the November 19th meeting and wanted to give my comments regarding the land referenced above. On Saturday, November 15, 1986, myself, along with Tom Walker, Betty Springer and Aloha Payne, met at the site and walked the majority of the land. Later we met with Fred Joyce who owns the property along with Mary Stone Meyers. We also went through the existing house located on the property. All of the Board members were in agreement that this land has many desirable characteristics for a park and should be seriously considered. The land is mostly flat with approximately eight acres in the flood plain according to the owner. It was also estimated by the owner's engineer that approximately $50,000.00 of improvements would bring all but three acres out of the flood if desirable. However, the flood area is mostly wooded and would be excellent for picnic areas. The flat area would be ideal for soccer fields, base— ball diamonds, football fields, etc. The land is large enough to have plenty of open space, a jogging trail, tennis courts and a community center. As an added bonus, the house on the land is conducive to group meetings; e.g., Lions Club, Women's Club, with only nominal modifications. In visiting with Fred Joyce, it was determined that he is very agreeable in working with the City. He felt that $20,000.00 an acre, cash, would be acceptable, ($772,180), but also indicated they would carry a short term note or possibly lease the land. He thought there was about a $500,000.00 loan balance. My recommendation is as follows: INDIVIDUAL AND CORPORATE MEMBERS, INSTITUTE OF REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT I SOCIETY OF INDUSTRIAL REALTORS I URBAN LAND INSTITUTE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF REAL ESTATE APPRAISERS I AMERICAN SOCIETY OF REAL ESTATE COUNSELORS I INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATE FEDERATION M November 18, 1986 James Arnold City of Southlake Page 2 Lease the land for five years for $50,000.00 a year with an option to purchase the land at any time during that five year period for $20,000.00 an acre. Any money paid in as rental during that time would be applied toward the purchase price. This would give the city the immediate use of the land and enough time to apply for matching funds or for the City to float a bond issue. It would also give the Lions Club and others a project and may even be a location for the future expansion of City Hall. Please discuss this at your meeting and let me know your thoughts. /vm HAND DELIVERED Sincerely, Phillip C. Bressinck
