The City of Grapevine Open Space Committee convened in regular meeting
at 4: 30 p.m. on this the 9th. day of July, 1986 , with the following
members present to-wit:

Kevin Conklin
Mark Mailes, Tommy Hardy and Marcy Ratcliff of the City Staff were
present. John Boyle and Adrienne Leonard, City Attorneys, were
present.
Mr. Joe Wright, developer of Winding Creek Subdivision, and Mr. John
Powell, of Starnes and Associates were also present.
The meeting was called to order by Sue Burgtorf.
Under Action Items, the Committee considered a proposal of park land
dedication for Winding Creek Subdivision. The subdivision has 270
lots platted, and the amount of open space proposed was 1 . 86 acres.
After discussion regarding the proposed location of the open space,
its land features and the feasibility of having two parks located
closely together, a motion to not accept the proposed location of the
open space was made by Sharron Spencer, and seconded by Sue Burgtorf.
The vote was 4 to 0 to reject the location.
The discussion then centered around the subject of not needing a small
park to be located close to a ten acre neighborhood park such as is
the case with Dove Park. Ron Cook motioned and Kevin Conklin seconded
to not accept any open space within the subdivision. The vote was 4
to 0 to not accept any open space in Winding Creek.
Cash in lieu of was then firmly discussed with Mr. Wright, as the
members of the committee felt that improvements and expansion of
existing facilities at Dove Park would better serve the residents of
Winding Creek than would a relatively small park. Mr. Wright
proposed a $150, 000 cash donation in lieu of a 1. 86 acre park
dedication. This donation proposal is Mr. Wright' s offer, and does
not reflect the City' s established policy of market value.
Ron Cook motioned and Kevin Conklin seconded to recommend that the
City Council accept a cash in lieu of donation. The vote was 4 to 0
for the acceptance of cash in lieu of.
There being no further business, a motion to adjourn was made by
Sharron Spencer, and seconded by Sue Burgtorf. All present voted aye.
