Master Plan Review for proposed major park - Mr. David Barth, Glatting Lopez
Kercher & Anglin:
Mr. David Barth presented a preliminary master plan of the park. He said he would like
to review that and asked for input and direction. Then the next step would be to
develop the final master plan, which would incorporate any comments as well as do a
construction cost estimate of the entire park, and then determine what the first
phase of construction will be.
He spoke about the entrance to the park and that there would be a need for some type
of roadway improvement. He said there would be a need for the realignment of the
entrance as well as the addition of the left turn lane and it would be necessary to
maintain the Clifton Avenue right of way.
Mr. Barth pointed out the ballfields and the caretaker's residence which will come off
the 30 ft. right of way off of Orange Ave.
He then pointed out what he called the "Complex Area" where the Recreation center for
the parks department offices will be; also the potential therapy and swimming pool
area; an observation deck and pavillion and the ampitheater and a performing arts
stage. Mr. Barth spoke about the retention area and the environmental berm, and the
conservation area for the gopher tortoises.
Next area discussed was the "Old Homestead" area encompassing a parking area for
approximately 160 parking spaces, a multi-purpose field, several pavilions, a
volleyball court and playground area. The two parking lots will provide approximately
400 parking spaces.
Commissioner Hoffmann suggested moving the playground closer to the ballfields, and
moving the entranceway a little bit further to the east.
Mr. Barth said he and Miss Koch had a meeting with the Department of Transportation
in DeLand, and they found out the improvements to the road are about five or six years
away at a minimum, and that regardless of what the future plan is, that we expect the
park will be open long before then, and we need to deal with the park's access. One
of the problems is that the City will have to spend money on an entrance only years
later to have to tear it up for the improvement of the road.
Mr. Barth said we are showing the ability to put two types of pools in the park, but
the decision of whether you do or do not put them in will be up to the Commission.

Master Plan acceptance for proposed major park - Mr. David Barth, Glatting Lopez
Kercher & Anglin:
Motion was made by Commissioner Kulbes to accept the preliminary master plan.
Seconded by Commissioner Partyka. Discussion. Vote on the motion: Commissioner
Hoffmann, aye; Commissioner Kulbes, aye; Commissioner Jacobs, aye; Commissioner
Partyka, aye; Commissioner Kaehler, aye; motion carried.
Commissioner Partyka asked if anything could be done to speed up the improvements
to S.R. 434, and the curve. Miss Koch explained at the meeting last Wednesday with
the traffic consultant and owners of the property through which the new right-of-
way runs, they are trying to come up with a proposal to put together all the money
that will be available in 1992; they will have the money for the right-of-way for
the new alignment in 1992, they will have the engineering funding in 1991 and in
1992 they plan to come in and resurface the old road, just to make it a little
wider and safer for four years until they come in and do the entire road.
.
Miss Koch explained we are trying to come up with a proposal to put to the Department
of Transportation to ask them to at least, rather than waste the money resurfacing
the old right of way, plus wasting the City's money and putting a turning lane there
to coordinate this, put in just the curve or the flattened out curve in 1992.
Mr. Barth suggested a letter be sent from the City Manager or the Mayor reminding
them of our park and that we look forward to working with them in the future as they
are engineering the road.

Motion was made by Commissioner Hoffmann that we accept the bid of the Orlando-
