RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost to develop the park site is $180,000, which is budgeted in the Neighborhood Parkland Fund in 2002 and 2003. The value of the parkland donation is $20,000 per acre for a total value of$30,480. The Ordinance provides the authorization to use the donation for Waterglen Park and to properly account for the value according to fixed asset accounting guidelines. Maintenance funding for the park in the amount of$23,268 per year is allocated starting in the 2004 budget. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The current Parks and Recreation Policy Plan, which was approved by the City Council with the adoption of Resolution 96-146 in December 1996, recommends that neighborhood parks be developed at a standard of 2.5 acres per 1,000 population. The service area for a park is typically one square mile in size and bounded by arterial streets. The Waterglen Development is located in the square mile bounded by I-25 on the east, Vine Drive on the south, North Timberline Road on the west and Mountain Vista Drive on the north. The Policy Plan and City Plan encourage the development of mini-parks as a component of the City's neighborhood park system. The Waterglen Development is located in the southeast corner of the square mile adjacent to I-25 and Vine Drive. The development is bordered on the west and north by a large irrigation canal. It is anticipated that additional residential development west and north of the canal will generate the need for a larger neighborhood park. The plan would be to place the larger park across the irrigation canal from the Waterglen Mini-Park and connect the two with a pedestrian bridge. Waterglen Neighborhood Park will primarily serve the Waterglen Development. The developer of Waterglen is donating the land for this 1.524-acre park. The park will provide a beautiful, peaceful place for residents with landscaping, trees, sidewalk, drinking fountain, shelter and picnic tables. The public process for the design of the park will occur in late 2002 with development in early 2003.
