Staff Report
Date: September 25, 2000
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
From: Janet G. Shira, Community Relations/Projects Director JS
Subject: Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP)
South Park Development, Phase 1
As you are aware, earlier this year the City entered into an agreement with the Orange
County School Board to purchase adjoining properties for the purposes of an elementary
school and City park (known as South Park).
Under the agreement, South Park will encompass roughly 11 acres to include a soccer field,
baseball field, playground equipment, and an indoor recreation facility. Earlier this year, the
City included these park improvements in its 2001-2005 Capital Improvements Program.
Prior to developing the site, the City first must approve a site plan and clear the necessary
areas of the park slated for improvements.
To assist the City with development of South Park, staff is applying for a FRDAP grant to
help cover the costs of the first phase of improvements. This covers the site plan work,
clearing, the playground equipment, the soccer and baseball fields and supporting facilities
(parking, landscaping, lighting, etc.). If the City is successful in obtaining grant funds, these
improvements will take place during the 2000/2001 fiscal year.
The FRDAP grant application calls for an advertised public hearing to take public input on
the proposed project. No action needs to be taken by the City Commission.
Staff is requesting the hearing prior to transmitting the grant application which is due
October 13, 2000. The City will be requesting $150,000-200,000 to assist with
development of phase 1.
