DISCUSSION
The Parks and Community Services Department is preparing a grant application with assistance
from Carter and Burgess, Inc , Eastern Development Ltd and Pulte Homes, Inc for the
acquisition and development of an extension to Arcadia Park The proposed park addition would
be two (2) separate tracts totaling roughly fifty (50) acres The first tract would be located to
the east of Teal Drive and would link the original Arcadia Park site to the recently completed
Arcadia Park North site The second tract would provide a linear extension north of the proposed
North Tarrant County Parkway and west of Beach Street The proposed park is located in City
Council District 4
The proposed park would continue the linear neighborhood park development which began in
1984 Through a series of parkland dedications, part of the City's Subdivision Ordinance and
two (2) previous Texas Parks and Wildlife Department grants, a total of 197 acres have been
acquired and developed to serve this rapidly growing section of the City
Eastern Development Ltd and Pulte Homes, Inc have proposed a donation of approximately fifty
(50) acres of land to serve as the City's local share in the proposed grant application The
donation of property would be in excess of the parkland dedication policy requirement The
proposed grant application would use Eastern's and Pulte's land donation as the City's match
for grant funds to develop the park It is anticipated that the total grant amount will be
5600,000 with the estimated 5300,000 land donation matched by 5300,000 for park
development This amount is within the maximum grant funding being offered at this time by
the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department

StTBJSCT GRANT APPLICATION TO TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT FOR
ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT OF ARCADIA PARK
This proposed donation of property and development of park amenities would impact both the
General Fund and Capital Improvement Program budgets The proposed fifty (50) acre park
would require approximately 535,000 per year to maintain at the same level of service as all
other park sites throughout the City This sum includes mowing, litter control and normal
maintenance Neither of the proposed tracts are within an existing Public Improvement District
Also, it is projected that an estimated 3,000 linear feet of street frontage to the park would
require City participation from Park Developing Areas bond funds in the amount of approximately
5105,000
On July 16, 1996, the Parks and Community Services Advisory Board approved a motion to
recommend to the City Council that it
1 Authorize the City Manager to submit an application for and accept, if awarded, a
grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for Arcadia Park in the amount
of 5300,000; and
2 Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign the grant application and act
