Recreational Facilities - The nearest facility is the Van Buskirk Municipal Golf Course and Park located adjacent and south of the site. It is anticipated that the project would increase the use of these facilities some undetermined amount. According to Emil Seifert, Director of Parks and Recreation, a portion of the golf course is on Lot A of the project site. A scenic easement on Lot A was established in 1961 giving the City Development control of Lot A. (See Appendix C-48) . Implementation of the project would not change the City's development control since the applicant intends to deed Lot A to the City, subject to retaining the right to use Lot A as needed for sewer and/or drainage purposes. The Parks and Recreation Department has indicated the project will have no significant effect upon their capability to provide the normally expected level of service (Appendix. C-48A) . However, they do note that "Community Park facilities will need to be upgraded at Van Buskirk Park to support the proposed development." According to Larry Nordstrom, Parks Superintendent (Telecon) the improvements needed in the 20 acre± Van Buskirk Park consist of picnic tables , barbecue facilities, playground equipment and shade trees; The two softball fields and one soccer field were adequate for the active recreation. In order to acquire, equip and maintain park and recreation facilities, particularly those made necessary by increasing population, the City has imposed a fee which is paid in lieu of dedication of park sites by new residential developments. The fee is based upon the living area within each individual dwelling unit and is paid at the building permit stage. In the case of the subject project, a fee of $298.00 will be required on those dwelling units below 1,000 square feet and $358.00 on those larger than 1 ,000 square feet. The project proponent has furnished the following estimated breakdown on the sizes of the proposed dwelling units to provide a means for estimating the amount of revenue to be derived from the project.
