PURPOSE: The purpose of this item is to inform the City Commission of the alternatives and costs of a full size football/soccer field in the Torcaso Park Expansion. CONSIDERATIONS: . On August 13, 2001, The City Commission approved the Seminole County/City of Winter Springs Inter-Local Agreement Community Slock Grant Program. . On November 12, 2001, The City Commission approved the contract with CPH for Consulting Engineering Services for the Torcaso Park Expansion. . On December 10, 2001, the City Commission directed staff and consultants to look into the alternatives and costs of a full size football/soccer field at this site. . A full size football/soccer field will fit on the site if it is angled, the proposed sidewalk removed, the youth playground relocated, the tot playground made smaller and equipment moved. The cost for relocation is estimated at $ 25,000. There are no CDSG grant funds available for relocation. . The back of the field is then within 5-10 feet of the tot playground, 15 feet of the restroom building, and 30 feet of the splash pad. . The current location of restroom building, small pavilion, tot playground, and youth playground flow very well and are very functional. . A practice football/soccer area would not require relocation and would allow adequate space from the playground, the restroom building, and the splash pad and not directly 1 behind it. Also the field would be located parallel to the parking lot and Moss Road. . The practice field concept rather than regulation size fields in city neighborhoods is preferred by the local residents. . The size of the field is not a concern of the youth football league (Grizzlies). If used only a practice field is needed. It also can meet the practice needs of Soccer and Lacross. FUNDING: $485,000 CDBG Grant funds are provided in the budget for development of the park. Expanding the field the additional 20 yards would increase the cost an estimated $ 25,000 which would have to be paid from other sources. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the logistical problems associated with extending the field and the additional cost staff believes that amending the design to accommodate extension of the field is not advisable. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: January 2002 February 2002 Feb-June 2002 June 2002 July 2002 August 2002 December 2002 Soils Information and Preliminary Engineering Design. Final Design and Costs.
