Vote: All aye. Motion carried. PRESENTATION BY FLORIDA LAND COMPANY REGARDING PARK LANDS AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES PERTINENT TO FO~~OOR UNIT 4 AND THE HAMMOCK (305-ACRE PARCEL). Mr. Dale Crosby, Florida Land Co. was present and stated he would like to present to the board their latest ideas in dealing with the City's park requirements having to do with two projects - one is The Hammock which is east of Ranchlands, Section 10, and the other is Foxmoor Unit 4. Mr. Crosby stated the park would be located in the Foxmoor area. Initially Florida Land had planned 168 lots in this subdivision. It has now been reduced to 65 lots. They have carved out areas for park facilities. Mr. Crosby stated this area is more conducive to activities such as this rather than building because of some muck areas within the site. Mr. Crosby stated their letter of March 11, 1982 basically recites the kind of things they have proposed in the park, but stated he is having a problem with the budget and they will have to trim a couple items stated on the attachment. Mr. Tom Blanton, consultant, stated the items that will be deleted are the jogging trail with cypress mulch and the park benches randomly located along the jogging trail. Mr. Crosby reminded the board that this was just a rendering and the City might have other ideas as to what they want in- stalled, but this is the commitment Florida Land would make to provide in the park as part of the improvements that would occur in concert with either Foxmoor Unit 4 or the first unit of The Hammock, whichever came first. The City Planner asked about the children's play area that was mentioned previously. Mr. Blanton stated the area is designated but it is not their intent to install equipment in there. There is parking space for 80 vehicles. Grove asked if Florida Land would be installing water pipes for the drinking fountain. Mr. Crosby stated they would provide sewer and water to the shelter and restroom facilities. Kaehler asked if there would be any lights. ~IT. Crosby stated they are not proposed in the plan. Mr. Cooper stated Florida Power Corp. supplies the City with lights at no cost but they have an annual fee for each light installed and whether Florida Land requires Florida Power to install them or whether the City installs them is immaterial since the City picks up the annual bill. Mr. Blanton stated the outfields and part of another area can be lined off for multi-purpose fields whether it is soccer or football and that you really have five useable fields instead of three. Backstops are included on each one of the fields. Mr. Crosby clarified this park would serve as a credit against both projects - The Hammock and Foxmoor. The City Manager stated the staff has no problem with the proposed park. Kaehler suggested they consider including a couple of children's swings. Kaehler moved to accept Florida Land's concept regarding park lands and recreational facilities pertinent to Foxmoor Unit 4 and The Hammock. Seconded by Weiss. Vote: All aye. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Cf4anCf?:~. Rec. Sec.
