Recommendation
Approve Resolution
Description/History
The Park Land Dedication and Development Fee Chapter of the City of Mansfield’s Code of Ordinances was adopted in 2003 to provide adequate recreational areas and amenities in the form of neighborhood parks as a function of subdivision development in the city and to make the park land dedication and park development fee requirements an integral part of the review and approval of residential developments.
Many of the city’s parks were purchased from property owners with multiple parcels, and the city never conducted an updated boundary survey or re-platted these parcels into one parcel per park. As a result, many park boundary lines are not accurate and cause confusion on our park inventories. The attached professional services proposal from Brittain & Crawford, LLC will provide survey and platting services for the seven parks and facilities listed below in a first phase to address all outstanding parks needing to be re-platted.
Park/Facility
Julian Field Park
FieldhouseUSA Mansfield
James McKnight Park East
McClendon Park East
McClendon Park West
Mansfield National Golf Club
Michael L. Skinner Sports Complex
Funding for this contract is available in the park land dedication and development fee fund.
Justification
The approval of this Professional Services Agreement will provide accurate boundary surveys and park acreage for each of the parks/facilities. These surveys will become an integral component in the overall planning and implementation of the current and future Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails Master Plans.
