Presentation on ProDosal For a Community Park as Drepared bv the Parks Task Force - Terrv Baldus City Manager Wysocki reminded the Commissioners that they received a copy of the Proposal For a Community Park under "FYI Items" at the meeting of June 14. He then stated that 06-28-93 -.---- .- ._~ ---.....--.-.. r - 2 - Ms. Terry Baldus, member of the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board, has requested an opportunity to address the Commission regarding this document. Mayor Swanson thanked Ms. Baldus for the work that she has done, through the Gallatin Valley Softball Association, on the landscaping at the Recreation Complex parking lot. Ms. Terry Baldus, 6931 South 19th Avenue, thanked the Mayor for that comment, noting ahat the Parks Department has assisted in the effort; and a grant from the County will enable the Association to install lots on Field 4, when the weather cooperates. Ms. Baldus then stated that approximately one and one-half years ago, the Recreation Department created a Sports Complex Board, which quickly recognized that more fields for softball, baseball and soccer are needed. She noted that a park task force was then created, comprised of a representatives from youth fall soccer, spring soccer, baseball, girls' slow pitch, girls' fast pitch, the Gallatin Valley Softball Association and Bozeman Baseball, and was charged with the responsibility of finding additional parkland or an area which could accommodate the development of additional ballfields. She stated that, because of the amount of space needed, most of the parkland areas that they reviewed where not large enough. . Mr. Larry Aasheim, 1031 East Olive Street, stated he has been involved in recreational programs in the Bozeman area for many years, dating back to initial development of the Recreation Complex. He stated that the need for additional ballfields has become increasingly obvious, particularly a few months ago, when children and their parents were competing for use of the same fields. Mr. Aasheim stated that over 3,000 people in the community, from ages 7 to 60, are involved in the recreational programs available. He then reviewed statistics that dramatically reflect the increase in those programs from 1988 to 1993, as follows: (1) youth soccer (fall) has increased by 24 teams and 350 children, with one additional field; (2) spring soccer has increased by 10 teams and 200 children, with no new facilities; (3) girls' slow pitch softball has increased by 15 teams and 200 children, with a couple new fields; (4) girls' fast pitch softball has just begun en the past five years, and now has 5 teams and the use of two fields along with the girls' slow pitch softball; (5) the Gallatin Valley Softball Association has increased by 14 teams, and has just begun co-ed teams, with 29 teams now in place, with no new fields being added; and (6) the baseball program has 19 new teams with more 275 children, and two new fields. 06-28-93 , - 3 - Mr. Aasheim stated that with the increase in Kindergarten through 9th grade that is anticipated over the next five years, pressures on these programs will only increase. He stated that since there are no new facilities, with more teams and more players per team, the amount of playing time for each participant has decreased. He stated there are no fields for practice and no place to make up any games. . Mr. Aasheim stated that the various user groups are willing to participate financially in the building of fields. He requested, however, that the City acquire and provide the land and complete some of the initial improvements. He observed that the City has not done much for the recreation groups over the last few years; and he suggested it is time that such steps be taken. Ms. Terry Baldus stated that the community is growing to the northwest, an area where few facilities are currently available. The task force has been made aware of the fact that Mr. Don White could possibly assist them in acquiring 20 acres in the Annie Subdivision as the start of a community park. She noted that since that area has not yet been developed, it might be possible to expand that park through additional parkland dedications. She indicated that 25 acres would provide an adequate area to construct ballfields to address today's needs; and it could be expanded eto 50 acres to provide more fields in the future. Ms. Baldus stated that a concept plan for the community park has been included in the plan submitted. She noted that it is simply a concept plan to show how the initial development might occur, including five baseball fields and five soccer fields. She suggested that a trail through the parkland could help to meet the master plan for a trail system throughout the community. Ms. Baldus stated that the task force would be willing to talk to Mr. White and assist the City in acquiring the property for the proposed community park. She stated that participants in the various programs would be willing to assist in preparation of the land for fields, including leveling the land and planting grass. She stated the biggest problems will be installation of an irrigation system, development of the parking lot, and the extension of roadways to the site. She suggested that ISTEA monies could possibly be used fo~, improvement of the parking lot. She noted that e\Jorth 19th Avenue is to be extended in 1995 or 1996; and West Oak Street is to be constructed between North 19th Avenue and North 7th Avenue. She stated that at the current time, the only access available might be through Brentwood Subdivision. Mayor Swanson noted that the Commission has just completed an arduous goal-setting process; and the addition of recreational facilities surfaced in the top seven priority goals for the 06-28-93 .. u__._._ - 4 - upcoming fiscal year. He stated, however, it is important to realize that this goal also competes with implementation of the transportation plan at an estimated cost of $40 million; and there is not any extra money in the City's budget. He challenged the task force to seek alternatives for funding the purchase of land for the proposed development of ballfields. Mayor Swanson stated he feels the task force needs to be expanded, to include a .representative of the area in which the ballfields are being contemplated and representatives from the school system and the University. He stated that County participation should also be strongly considered. Mayor Swanson then forwarded several questions, indicating that he does not anticipate immediate answers but wishes that they be considered in any future consideration of this request. He asked whether or not Mr. White is willing to donate the 20 acres as parkland, or what price he is seeking if he is contemplating sale. He also asked whether Mr. White is acting on behalf of himself or a client. He then stated that ISTEA monies probably could not be used for improving of the parking lot, noting that it would not qualify and, furthermore, does not appear in the fifty projects that have been prioritized for those monies. . Commissioner Frost stated an interest in knowing the price of the land. stating that is the first step in the process. He recognized there is a need for additional fields in the community; but he feels the costs must be known before any serious consideration can be given to the issue. Commissioner Vincent stated that, while he recognizes more information is needed, he feels it is important to proceed with this proposal. He stated that, as a school teacher of 22 years, he recognizes the need for these facilities, since "active kids are happy kids and tend to stay out of trouble". He indicated his willingness to work toward the development of additional fields as much as possible. Commissioner Knapp stated the Commission recognizes the need for additional fields. She then asked how much of the increased demand on existing facilities is because of the popularity of the sports and how much is because of an increase in population. . Ms. Baldus stated that both factors are contributing to the pressure on the existing fields. She stated that some companies are moving to Bozeman; and some of them are bringing softball teams with them. She also noted that softball is becoming more popular on a nationwide basis, particularly co-ed softball, which is just beginning in Bozeman. She characterized these sporting activities as social events, thus contributing to their popularity. 06-28-93 ----------.-- ._n ___._.___.__ - 5 - Mr. Aasheim stated that soccer, which is a non-contact sport, is growing at a very rapid pace. He noted that when a soccer team becomes successful at the competitive level, it generates additional interest at every level. He then indicated that girls' fast pitch is becoming much more popular, and is now a high school sport. Ms. Terry Baldus stated that each soccer field takes approximately 1 Y:z acres, and each easeball field takes 2 to 3 acres. She noted that the task force did review different parkland areas; and the parkland in Valley Unit Subdivision as the next largest, with approximately eight acres available. Commissioner Knapp asked how the space to be occupied by the proposed fields might be used during the remainder of the year, and what would be done with those fields if there is a decline in popularity. Mr. Larry Aasheim stated that the existing fields are used from March through early June for spring soccer and from August through October for fall soccer; and the baseball season extends from April through July. He stated that at the present time, football is played at Christie Fields after baseball season is complete; and fall soccer is played on the softball fields at the Recreation .comPlex. City Manager Wysocki noted that these sports are relatively inexpensive; and these types of activities tend to become more popular in harder economic times. The City Manager then reminded the Commission that during the land exchange with the School District, in which Christie Fields became the City's property, one of the caveats was that the School District would make any land not being used for the building, playground and parking areas available for possible recreational uses, thus expanding the amount of land available in that area for park/recreation use. He suggested that a parking lot could be constructed in such a manner that it could be used by both a future school and recreational uses on the parkland and possibly a portion of the school site. He stated that since access is already available to the site, it could probably be developed much more rapidly than the task force's proposed site in Annie .Ubdivision. The City Manager encouraged the task force to approach the School District to determine where a future school might be located, to see if it might be feasible to construct ballfields in the Valley Unit Subdivision within a short timeframe. He stated support for the community park concept as the long-term solution, noting that the addition of fields in Valley Unit Subdivision could 06-28-93 - 6 - relieve the immediate pressures until the long-term solution can be implemented. He noted that any softball fields and soccer fields installed for the short-term could easily be converted to other uses when necessary. Mayor Swanson noted that improvements to the intersection of West Main Street and . West Babcock Street could relieve the traffic problems that currently exist in that portion of the _ community, making this a much more attractive location. Ms. Baldus stated that when the task force was reviewing the Valley Unit Subdivision site, they were not aware of the potential for using a portion of the school property. She then indicated a willingness to contact the School District immediately in an effort to determine what portion of their land could possibly be used for ballfields in the near future. Responding to Mayor Swanson, the City Manager stated that this proposed community park is what is designated as the regional park in the park master plan. He noted that there are few large parks developed in a community; and this proposed 50-acre park is probably the only large park that will be developed in the next twenty-five years. He cautioned that anticipated residential development will surround the proposed site, so care must be taken to ensure that use of the park .does not negatively impact development. He noted this could include the use of lights. - Mr. Aasheim indicated there would probably be no need for lights in the immediate future, since the fields would be used for little league and soccer. Mr. Dick Harte, 2607 Spring Creek Driye, noted the number of new parks being developed in Billings. He questioned whether grants may be available for this type of development, indicating that the task force and user groups might be able to assist in matching funds. Mayor Swanson stated the City has a Grantsperson; and he could be asked to explore on that possibility. Responding to the City Manager, Ms. Baldus stated that she is seeking City support for this proposal before approaching the County Commission about County participation. She stated that since this is a community park, the task force believes that the County should participate in ~s funding. She then stated that the task force has asked all of the user groups to keep a record of the number of city residents and the number of county residents registered in their programs; and that information will be used when they approach the County Commission. Mayor Swanson noted that the Bozeman Area Master Plan encourages the development 06-28-93 - 7 - of a community park. He then stated support for the City Manager's suggested short-term/long- term solution, stating he believes it will work well. Ms. Terry Baldus stated that baseball and softball currently share the same field. She noted that this is unfair to the participants because the regulation fields for these two sports are not the same size; and youth fields are an even different size. . Mayor Swanson cautioned that if a short-term solution is to be provided in the Valley Unit Subdivision, it is extremely important that the task force notify the residents in that area as soon as possible. City Manager Wysocki suggested that the task force should proceed with contacting the School District. He cautioned, however, that Park Superintendent McNeil should be involved in, or aware of, any discussions that may occur, as the City's contact person. Mayor Swanson stated that Commissioner Vincent has agreed to serve as the Commission's liaison for the Parks Task Force. The Commission thanked the members of the task force for their presentation. City Manager Wysocki presented Ordinance No. 1368, as approved by the City Attorney, entitled: ORDINANCE NO. 1368 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA, AMENDING THE ZONING DISTRICT DESIGNATION FROM "R-S" (RESIDENTIAL--SUBURBAN) TO "B-2" (COMMUNITY BUSINESS) ON 14.2 ACRES LOCATED IN THE NORTHEAST % OF SECTION 1, TOWNSHIP 2 SOUTH, RANGE 5 EAST, MONTANA PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN, GALLATIN COUNTY, MONTANA.

He noted that in that letter, Mr. Tintinger indicates that staff has no business in designing buildings and no business .ommenting on the architectural design of buildings. The Mayor indicated that he takes strong issue with that comment, particularly since there are design professionals on the Planning staff; and he welcomes their comments on design issues.

(8) The City Manager submitted his weekly report, as follows. (1) Announced that .the well at the edge of the East Babcock Street/South Rouse Avenue parking lot has been drilled, and is yielding approximately 90 gallons per minute. He stated that the water will be used to control icing in the creek, hopefully under the buildings along Main Street, so that City crews will no longer encounter the hazardous ice chopping duty. (2) Announced that disabled parking spaces are to be provided in the parking lots at the Library. Also, an automatic door is to be installed on the east side. (3) Announced that an automatic door is to be installed on the Rouse entrance at City Hall. He noted that this is the door used for evening meetings, when the rest of the building is locked.

She suggested that the City could then provide information on potential hazards during the year and the most effective treatment, so that residents can react in a timely manner. She noted that to address the infestation in mid-stream seems to be futile. (10) Commissioner Frost stated that his two-week trip to the east coast made him glad that he is in Bozeman. He noted the strip development and the terrible things that are occurring in very historic cities, with the interiors falling apart and the exteriors being a strip development of motels and filling stations.
