Consideration and Possible Action Regarding a Land Donation from Bluebonnet Capital Partners of Approximately Five Acres in the Proposed Birdsong Planned Development
Requested Action
Consideration and Possible Action
Recommendation
Accept Land Donation from Bluebonnet Capital Partners of Approximately Five acres and Grant Applicable Park Fee Credit for the Proposed Birdsong Planned Park
Description/History
In 2018, Clayton Snodgrass approached the Mansfield Parks and Recreation Department on behalf of the owner, Bluebonnet Capital Partners, in regards to a proposed neighborhood park in the future Birdsong residential development. Bluebonnet Capital Partners is proposing to dedicate the neighborhood park by a metes and bound survey of approximately five acres of land to satisfy the requirements of the Park Land Dedication Ordinance for a future park. The MPFDC is being asked to consider accepting the land based on a clear Title Policy and Warranty Deed for the property.
Bluebonnet Capital Partners is also asking for a “Park Fee Credit” for development of the neighborhood park. If credit is granted, the fees would be reimbursed upon completion of the park amenities and acceptance by the Parks and Recreation Department in accordance with the Park Land and Development Ordinance.
Justification
This additional property would serve as a public neighborhood park and eventually tie into a future linear park trail in the M3 Ranch Development. The land donation will make a good connection point for a trail system as outlined in the 2009 adopted Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails Master Plan.
