Members Present: Amy Vick, Brenna Nedbalek, Dawn Hitt-Wilkin, Doug Blackard, Jean Houck, John Philpott, Mark Ramsey, Phil Davis, Ron Doernbach Members Absent: Staff Present: Randy Morrow, Kimberly Garrett Others Present: Lee Weber, Berry Creek Village David Marshall, Gavurnik Builders Minutes Regular Meeting I.CALL TO ORDER John Philpott, chair, called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. II.ROLL CALL III.DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON WINDRIDGE VILLAGE David Marshall, Vice President of Gavurnik Builders wanted to discuss options for Windridge Village and what is planned for the community. There is $12,000 budget allowance allocated for the park at Windridge Village and Mr. Marshall wanted to get input on how to spend the money. Randy Morrow said that at a recent parks board meeting, the board approved a concrete trail in the development. Randy also said John Gavurnik discussed with him the possibility of a large oak tree in Katy Crossing and possibly giving it as parkland dedication in lieu of another lot in Katy Crossing. Mr. Marshall said Windridge Village and Katy Crossing are two separate issues and should not be considered together. The parks board prefers concrete because of the low maintenance. Mr. Marshall asked what would be more beneficial to parks and recreation instead of a trail that would not be used daily? John said the board previously voted on the Windridge Village parkland issue and if there are other options, they need to be presented to the Parks and Recreation Board so that they can decide. This development is a high density residential subdivision and there are certain requirements by City Ordinance for that kind of development. Doug said that the impression that he got last time was that the park was going to be more for just the residents rather than the community. This item will be on January 16th agenda. IV.DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON PARKLAND DEDICATION FOR BERRY CREEK VILLAGE Lee Weber representing Berry Creek Village is planning on developing a 70 acre tract at County Road 190 and Airport Road. They are early in the process and are wanting to get the board’s input on parkland. He wants to know if he can do two separate parks to conserve the trees. The parkland dedication requirement is about 4.5 acres and there would also be a trail system developed in the subdivision. Mr. Weber is wanting to know if the general idea is ok and then work with staff on the lot overlay. Right now there are 248 lots planned. John said the board does not get into the design of the park, they just want to make sure the requirements are met. John said it is helpful to have the lot lines drawn in. Doug said saving the trees is a good idea and a fence is needed to keep people away from CR 190. Brenna said splitting the park into two areas makes sense to her. Ron asked if access to the subdivision could be designed so that the large park is not split in two parts. Mr. Weber said they are working on the design of the subdivision. The earliest review by City staff would be February. Would like to come back in January with a more detailed plan. V.UPDATE ON WILLIAMSON COUNTY HEALTH DISTRICT ACTIVITIES – AMY VICK Amy Vick met with Amy Basey and Marge Tripp from Williamson County Health District. They asked her to update the board on the Heritage Garden project. The project is going very well, there have been many volunteers helping. They are very thankful for all the help they are getting from the Parks Department. They want to have a sign unveiling for the gardens when the Hutto Road project is complete. They want to invite the parks board to the sign unveiling ceremony. Also the health district has a map ready to go to print that shows all the bike routes in the Williamson County. They are hoping that people will donate memorial trees or benches in the garden to help make it a more attractive place. VI.UPDATE ON CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL’S WALKING PROGRAM - AMY VICK Amy is trying to get the CDC to come speak regarding the walking program. In April, Williamson County Health will celebrate it's 60th Anniversary and they would like to involve the board. The new head of the CDC will be here to speak at Southwestern during that time. This would be a good opportunity to launch a summer program. Amy will keep the board informed.
