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,
