Discussion and Possible Action
Description/History
In 2016, Matthew Goodwin with Goodwin and Marshall Inc. approached the Mansfield Parks and Recreation Department on behalf of the owner, Jabezz Development, in regards to a proposed neighborhood park in the future Mill Valley residential development. Jabezz Development proposed the dedication of the neighborhood park by a metes and bound survey of approximately 11.3 acres of land to satisfy the requirements of the Park Land Dedication Ordinance for a future park. On February 16, 2017, the MPFDC voted 6-0 to accept the land based on a clear Title Policy and Warranty Deed for the property.
The park construction has been completed and will be ready for final inspection and acceptance by the city in July 2019. The park includes a 1/4-mile looped concrete trail, fully accessible age-appropriate playgrounds with poured-in-place surfacing, picnic pavilion, benches, trash cans and dog waste stations. The developer is finishing the final turf grow-in and maintenance of the detention areas within the park.
Justification
This additional property will serve as a public neighborhood park and eventually tie into a future linear park trail in the South Pointe Development. The City and MPFDC own land in close proximity or adjacent to this property and the land donation will make a good connection point for a trail system as outlined in the 2010 adopted Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails Master Plan.
