Councilmember Tharp has requested information about the possibility of developing a park on
the vacant land across the street and north of Bennett School. The West Central Neighborhood
Plan identified this parcel as a possible location for a park. The City's Parks and Recreation
Policy Plan indicates this area of town is adequately served by Avery Neighborhood Park and
City Park. Very few Neighborhood Parkland Fees have been collected in this square mile.
The majority of the funding for the acquisition of this site will need to come from the General
Fund. The acquisition cost will be based on negotiation and market value. Total cost for
design and development are estimated to be in the range of$215,000. Ongoing maintenance
for this site is estimated to be $23,160 per year. These funds would need to come from the
General Fund or a future capital project-funding source.
