This method, however, would result in unnecessary destruction of the Park, including the removal of numerous trees. D.

Stonecreek Park Description of Work Space and Access Area For Construction of TRA Boyd Branch Phase II Project The area to be used by the Trinity River Authority's (TRA) Contractor for the rehabilitation of the existing 24" sewer main within Stonecreek Park consists of approximately 38,733 square feet (0.889 acres). The total centerline length of this area is approximately 1,573 linear feet. The width of the access route ranges from 10' (primarily along the existing concrete trail) to 20' at the playground at Alder Trail and adjacent to Chinaberry Court. The 20' width sections are for ingress/egress for the TRA from the right-of-way to the project site. There are primarily two staging areas within the Park. The first is east of Chinaberry Court, located adjacent to a City of Fort Worth drainage way, which is near Insertion Pit #6. The basic dimensions of this area are 90 feet by 90 feet and also serve as a turnaround for heavy equipment. The second staging area is located just west of Chinaberry Court. The basic dimensions of this area are 50 feet by 275 feet and span from Insertion Pit #3 to #4. Because of the density of trees between Insertion pits #2 and #3, the access route will be along the existing concrete trail, and because of the width of this area (approximately 10 feet), the only use this route will serve is for small vehicles, workers and for stringing the new pipe. There are two vehicular turnarounds located at Insertion Pits #1 and #2.

END OF SECTION T'URF SODDRJG 02930 -3- Access Permit and Workspace License Agreement for Stonecreek Park Page 35 of 35 City of Forf Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACT10N: Approved on 8/20/2013 DATE: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 REFERENCE NO.: **L-15608 LOG NAME: 80STONE CREEK PARK TRA TEMP ACCESS AGREEMENT SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of a Temporary Access Permit and Workspace License Agreement with Trinity River Authority of Texas for the Use of a Portion of the Surface of Stone Creek Park to Install a Sanitary Sewer Line (COUNCIL DISTRICT 5) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a Temporary Access Permit and Workspace License Agreement with Trinity River Authority of Texas for the use of a portion of the surFace of Stone Creek Park to install a sanitary sewer line. � DISCUSSION: The Trinity River Authority of Texas (TRA) has approached the Parks and Community Services Department (PACSD) requesting the use of approximately 38,733 square feet of Stone Creek Park (Park) for temporary access, workspace and storage associated with its plan to replace an existing sanitary sewer line that sits within TRA's easement in the Park. The Temporary Access and Workspace Agreement is for a period of 120 calendar days, which includes restoration of the Park. The existing 24-inch ID (inside diameter) sanitary sewer line services the City of Fort Worth, the City of Arlington and the City of Euless and will be replaced with new 32-inch and 34-inch OD (outside diameter) sewer lines. Open cut trench excavation is the traditionat and most popular method for this type of replacement and involves excavating down to and exposing the existing pipe so that it can be repaired or replaced. This method, however, would result in the unnecessary destruction of parkland, including the removal of numerous trees. To minimize harm to the parkland and significantly reduce the amount of trees negatively affected by this project, TRA has agreed to a more expensive and trenchless method of replacing the pipes called "pipe bursting." Pipe bursting involves pushing or pulling a new pipe through an existing pipe without the need for excavation work along the perimeter of the pipeline. In consideration of TRA's willingness to employ a more expensive method of pipe replacement to reduce overall harm to the Park, Staff is recommending waiving the $1.00 per square foot fee for temporary workspace. The locations of the temporary access and workspace areas are depicted in the attached exhibits and took into consideration the Park infrastructure and user accessibility. Installation of chain link fencing will be used to preserve all trees adjacent to the temporary workspace areas. Trees permitted for removal must be mitigated on a caliper inch-per-inch basis. If on-site mitigation is not possible or desirable, mitigation into the City Tree Fund will be made in the amount of $200.00 to $400.00 per inch for trees not planted. The City Forester has reviewed the proposed alignment and assessed the impact of tree removal in the amount of $11,600.00. Approximately 11 trees are being proposed for removal ranging in size from 6-inch diameter breast height (dbh) to 22-inch dbh. The trees being removed have been identified as Oak, Elm, Pine, Ash and Bois d'arc. Stone Creek Park is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5.
