Requested Action
Consideration and Possible Action
Recommendation
Accept Land Donation from Jabezz Development of approximately 11.3 acres and Grant Applicable Park Fee Credit for the Proposed Mill Valley Neighborhood Park.
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 is proposing to dedicate 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. The Mansfield Park Facilities Development Corporation (MPFDC) is being asked to consider accepting the land based on a clear Title Policy and Warranty Deed for the property.
Jabezz Development 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 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 2009 adopted Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails Master Plan.
