Authorization
REQUEST: The Parks and Recreation Department is informing the City Commission of
the Preliminary Site Plan of the CDSG Funded Torcaso Park Expansion.
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.
