Greenwood Pad Site Permit on Greenwood Cemetery property located within 600 feet of
Rockwood Park, provided the pad site boundary was 75 feet from the property line of the park,
and the use of Rockwood Park Drive to access the pad site.
C. After City Council approval of the Greenwood Pad Site Permit, afollow-up
survey by Chesapeake indicated that the Cemetery property did not abut Rockwood Park Drive
as previously thought and that the use of Rockwood Park property was needed to construct a
portion of the access road to the Cemetery's property line in order to reach the pad site.
D. Chesapeake wishes to construct an access road twenty-five ()5) foot wide for a
distance of approximately 54.07 feet long across Rockwood Park from Rockwood Park Drive to
the edge of the Greenwood Cemetery Property for the purpose of constructing and maintaining a
;as drilling pad site and associated gas and saltwater pipelines on the cemetery property.
E. The City and Chesapeake will enter into a separate agreement for the installation
and placement of the gas and salt water pipelines.
F. The use of Rockwood Park Drive and the proposed access road is necessary to
allow access for construction and maintenance of the approved gas drilling pad site and
associated gas and saltwater pipelines
G. The City agrees to grant Chesapeake a license to use a portion of Rockwood Park
as set out in Exhibits "A" and "B" in order to use a portion of Rockwood Park Drive and to
construct, operate and maintain an access road, on the terms and conditions set forth herein,
solely for access to and the construction and maintenance of the pad site and associated gas and

COUNCIL ANION: Approved on 2!9/201Q
DATE: Tuesday, February 09, 2010
LOG NAME: 80ROCKWOOD PARK ACCESS
REFERENCE NO.: L-14929
SUBJECT:
Conduct a Public Hearing and Authorize the Use of Approximately 1,457 Square Feet of the Surface of
Rockwood Park for the Purpose of Installing an Access Road and Authorize the Execution of a License
Agreement with Texas Midstream Gas, LLC, and Chesapeake Operating, Inc., in the Amount of
$41,961,60 (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing under the guidelines set forth by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code, Chapter
26, Protection of Public Parks and Recreational Lands;
2. Find that there is no feasible or prudent alternative for an access road in Rockwood Park to reach an
approved gas well drilling pad site;
3. Find that the proposed use of parkland includes all reasonable planning to minimize harm to the
parkland including that Rockwood Park is to be maintained as a park and the access road will be
constructed in Rockwood Park as specified on the attached exhibits and as noted in the discussion below;
4. Close the public hearing and authorize the City Manager to approve the use of approximately 0.033
acres of dedicated parkland of Rockwood Park for the installation of an access road; and
5. Authorize the execution of a License Agreement with Texas Midstream Gas Services, LLC, and
Chesapeake Operating, Inc., in the amount of $41,961.60.
. Rockwood Park -located at 701 North University Drive, in Mapsco 62S, 62N and 61 R, 61 Q, 61 U
and 61V, located west of University Drive, north and west of Rockwood Park Drive and south of
Rockwood Lane, in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
DISCUSSION:
On March 3, 2009, (M8C G-16229) the City Council approved a waiver for the Greenwood Pad Site
Permit on Greenwood Cemetery (Cemetery) property located within 600 feet of Rockwood Park and the
use of Rockwood Park Drive to access the pad site. The City Council required, as a condition of approval,
that a salt water pipeline be constructed prior to construction of the Gas Well Pad Site.
After receiving City Council approval, the property lease survey was finalized by Chesapeake Operating
Inc., (COI). The survey indicated that the Cemetery property does not abut Rockwood Park Drive as
previously understood and this finding was confirmed by the City's surveyor. As a result, the use of park
property is needed for an access road from Rockwood Park Drive to the Cemetery's property line in order
to reach the pad site. The proposed access road is necessary in order to construct and maintain the pad
Logname: 80ROCKWOOD PARK ACCESS Page 1 of 3
site and associated gas activities.
Staff is recommending as a condition for granting the access road that Texas Midstream Gas Services
(TMGS) and COI be required to meet the following conditions and be assessed the recommended fees:
. TMGS and COI be assessed a yearly fee of $1.44 per square foot. The fee for 1,457 square feet
totals $41,961.60, for a 20 year License Agreement;
. The access road must be paved from the edge of Rockwood Park Drive to the Cemetery property
line and to proposed gas pad site if approved by the Cemetery;
. Mudd Shakers wilt be used to minimize the debris from vehicles and equipment onto the park
access drive and road;
. The immediate removal by COI of all debris that develops on any portion of the access route; and
. TMGS and COI mitigate the removal of 12 to 15 trees on a ratio of one inch to one inch or payment
into the Fort Worth Tree Fund as determined by the City Forester for the construction of the access
road from Rockwood Drive to the Cemetery property line and coordinate with the City Forester for
an on site inspection during the removal and trimming of all trees.
Customarily it is Parks and Community Services Department (PACSD) practice to avoid the removal of
trees, however, after much deliberation it was determined that trees will be impacted by the proposed
access road alignment. The trees range in size from 31 inches in diameter at breast height to 6 inches in
diameter at breast height. TMGS and COI have been made aware of the mitigation and fees associated
with this approval and are agreeable to the assessment. The funds generated from the assessment will be
used to construct improvements in Rockwood Park, in compliance with the Parks and Community
Services Department's Park Facility Development Guidelines.
On January 6, 2010, the Parks and Community Services Advisory Board endorsed a motion to approve
staffs recommendation that the City Council authorize the use of parkland at Rockwood Park for the
installation of an access drive upon finding that no feasible or prudent alternative exists for the location of
the proposed route and that the proposed route include all reasonable planning to minimize harm to the
parkland.
In accordance with State law, the public notice was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on
January 12, 2010, January 19, 2010, and January 26, 2010. An exhibit map was available for public
review for 30 days at the PACSD administrative offices located at 4200 South Freeway, Suite 2200.
A letter announcing the proposed use was sent to the president of the Brookside Neighborhood
Association and Crestwood Neighborhood Association on January 11, 2010. Signage was posted at the
site noting the use and providing instructions for directing comments to the Parks and Community
Services Department. Staff will note any public comment received during the public hearing report of City
staff.
Rockwood Park is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.

LOG NAME: 80ROCKWOOD PARK AND ROCKWOOD GOLF SALT WATER
SUBJECT:
Conduct a Public Hearing and Authorize the Use of a Portion of the Subsurface of Rockwood Park and
Rockwood Golf Course for the Purpose of Installing a Salt Water Pipeline and Authorize the Execution of a
License Agreement with Chesapeake Operating, Inc., in the Amount of $69,325.68
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing under the guidelines set forth by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code, Chapter
26, Protection of Public Parks and Recreational Lands;
2. Find that no feasible or prudent alternative exists to Rockwood Park and Rockwood Golf Course for the

acres of dedicated parkland of Rockwood Park and 0.223 acres of dedicated parkland Rockwood Golf
Course for the installation of a four inch salt water pipeline; and
. Rockwood Park, located at 701 North University Drive, Mapsco 62S, 62N and 61 R, 61 Q, 61 U and
61V, located west of University Drive and south of Rockwood Lane in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
e Rockwood Golf Course located at 701 North University Drive, Mapsco 62S, 62N and 61 M, 61 Q,
61 R and 61 U, located southwest of Jacksboro State Highway 199, east of Isbell Drive, south of
Ohio Garden Road in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
5. Authorize the execution of a License Agreement with Chesapeake Operating, Inc., in the amount of
$69, 325.68.
DISCUSSION:
The Parks and Community Services Department (PACSD) has been approached by Chesapeake
Operating, Inc., (COI) to install a salt water pipeline in Rockwood Park (RP) and Rockwood Golf Course
(RGC). The salt water line will be servicing the Greenwood Cemetery, Papa Johns and Golf 1 H gas well
pad sites located on North University Drive. The proposed alignment would allow for a four inch
polyethylene salt water line beneath the park and golf course. A 10 foot wide pipeline license agreement
area is being requested. This process only proposes the use of the subsurface due to the fact that the
Logname: 80ROCKWOOD PARK AND ROCKWOOD GOLF SALT WATER Page 1 of 3
pipeline alignment will be bored and the surface of the park will not be disturbed. Attached is a map of the
properties.
The location of the pipeline was chosen in consideration of the Rockwood Golf Course Master Plan. COI
has agreed to maintain a minimum depth of 10 feet and bore the entire pipeline alignment. There will be
no surface impacts to RP or RGC. The line is being proposed to reduce the overall impact on local road
networks by piping out salt water from the pad sites. Staff is recommending as a condition of granting this
alignment that COI be assessed the recommended standard fee of $46.00 per linear foot of pipeline and
that those funds be used to construct improvements in RP and RGC. This amount is consistent with fees
assessed under the City's current Right -of -Way Use Agreement for installation of non -utility equipment,
appliances or appurtenances in public right-of-way. In this instance, a fee of approximately $69,325.68 will
be assessed for approximately 1,507.08 linear feet of pipeline. The fee assessment per property is:
. Rockwood Park -will include 535.21 linear feet or 0.123 acres of license agreement area, for an
assessment of $24,619.66; and
. Rockwood Golf Course -will include 971.87 linear feet or 0.223 acres of license agreement area, for
an assessment of $44,706.02.
COI has been made aware of this fee and is agreeable to this assessment. The funds generated from the
assessment will be used to construct improvements in compliance with the PACSD Park Facility
Development Guidelines. The City will not execute a license agreement until an Army Corp of Engineers
permit for crossing the levee across the Trinity River has been approved.
On May 25, 2009, the Parks and Community Services Advisory Board endorsed staffs recommendation
that the City Council authorize the use of parkland at Rockwood Park and Rockwood Golf Course for the
installation of a salt water pipeline.
In accordance with State law, the public notice was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on July 28,
2009, August 4, 2009, and August 11, 2009. An exhibit map was available for public review for 30 days at
the PACSD administrative offices located at 4200 South Freeway, Suite 2200.
A letter announcing the proposed use was sent to the president of the Brookside Neighborhood
Association, Crestwood Neighborhood Association and Belmont Terrace Neighborhood Association on
July 30, 2009. Signage was posted at the site noting the use and provided instructions for directing
comments to the Parks and Community Services Department. As of August 21, 2009, the PACSD has not
received any comments related to this park.
Rockwood Park and Rockwood Golf Course are located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
