Agenda Item ~7. Presentation-Parks & Recreation Board
A presentation was made by co-chairpersons of the Park and
Recreation Board, Larry Goldstein and Phillip Bressinck.
Goldstein reviewed for the City Council how the Park Board got
enthusiastic in park property again. There is only one park in
Southlake. The boys and girls softball teams are really in need.
There is also a need for soccer areas. He explained they looked
into grant money however, the City does not have matching funds.
The school administrators were favorable in joint use of property.
City Council Minutes

Goldstein stated that the 6-7 acres south of the new elementary
school was a possible site. The board has talked with civic groups
and if a working plan is arrived at, the board would try and raise
funds for the improvements.
Phillip Bressinck explained that Cheatham and Associates, City
Engineer, drew plans for them to take to the school
administrators. If all goes well, the board plans to have the
improvements in place by May 1, of this year. This area will be
for practice fields only, including: jogging trails, bike trails,
fitness stations, ball fields, play ground and picnic area and
basketball goal.
Goldstein stated that a meeting was held for property owners that
would be directly effective by the park on January 16. Many
concerns of the group included traffic on Scenic Drive.
It was reported that the school administrators wanted the park to
stand on its own. They want the parking area to be from Scenic
Drive and for the school parking area not to be used.
Mayor Westerholm stated

Councilmember Springer would like to proceed with joint efforts,
however, has concerns with the parking area coming off Timber and
Scenic.
Councilmember Muller is concerned about going to organizations and
trying to raise funds. Where would they get the rest of the
funds? Do they plan to start before funds are given? What if
people don't come through with funds?
Eddie Cheatham stated that out of the six concepts, the use of
Scenic Drive was his preference.
Councilmember Wooll asked for information concerning the cost
estimate for the City to maintain the park for the next several
years.
Public Comments
Larry Samartin - 1211 Timber Court. He stated his kids have played
on Dallas Road in Grapevine, and if there is dirt, the people will
park on the roads. Bicentennial Park is not over used. The
baseball fields could be used for soccer. This town is in dyer
need for road repair and for sewer. He feels it is bad practice to
spend money on property you do not own. People who buy land with a
park next door is different then living there and having a park
built next to them.

January 17, 1989

Ray Johnson - 1208 Timber Court. He is happy that there will be no
lights or bathrooms in the proposed park. It will keep down the
use. Scenic Drive is narrow and there are no sidewalks, children
play in the street. Also the pond in Continental Park is dangerous.
Steve Bender - 1203 Timber Court. He lives on the end of the
cul-de-sac and what is done on the land doesn't directly effect
him. He is concerned about the parking lot and also traffic on
Scenic. He has a parking lot out of the same material that is
being proposed, and it will cause problems for the City when we try
to maintain it. The lake is a problem, and trespassing is a
problem. Funding for the park is a concern, if we are going to do
it, do it right. Everything is undetermined as property still
belongs to the school.
Councilmember Muller stated the Park and Recreation Board meetings
are open to the citizens, there will be more discussions on this.

Charles McRae - 1206 Timber Court. The initial concept of the park
sounds good. He does not like the phases, if the city is going to
do it, do it right. He questioned putting money in the land and
loosing it all. He questioned putting park in that area.
Joe Boyle - 1206 Scenic Drive. The field is level enough to use.
He feels we should use it as a park in off school hours and see how
it goes over a year. The parking lot is already there.
Loretta Keaps - 1204 Scenic Drive. She has no problem with the
park, only with the access.
Ed Downing - 1354 Woodbrook Lane. He is a member of the school
board, however, he is here as a citizen. He is in favor of the
park and the use of present school property. He has 3 questions:
(1) access, (2) liability, and (3) how would they tell the city
they want the land back. The issues need to be resolved before
proceeding. He suggested a joint work session.
John Levitt - Commerce Business Park. He is encouraging City
Council to work with the school and the park board. He suggested
that our staff talk to Grapevine staff and see how it operates. He
encourages the project.
Mayor Westerholm stated there has been lots of questions raised,
and the city needs to respond to each question. The system can
work as it works in other areas.

Councilmember Muller stated the Council asked the Park Board to
look into the project. Citizens want parks. She hoped the
audience does not feel that Mr. Bressinck is trying to enhance his
residential project. This may not be the best location for the
park. This should all go back to the Park Board so that the
citizen concerns can be worked out.
Councilmember Springer is also concerned about the traffic
situation and is concerned about the private lake situation. We
need to work on a joint utilization. She would like to see the
staff and park board get there ducks in a row.
Mayor Westerholm stated everyone should work together to iron out
the problems.
