RE: IMPROVEMENTS - PEACH LAKE/RUSSELL DRIVE PARK
As a result of a number of residents abutting the above named park complaining, staff has
reviewed the fencing request at this site.
As a result of our discussions, the attached memo from Ray Brenner, Public Works Director,
discusses a number of methods of fencing and recommends the following:
(1 ) That a 10 gauge, 6' chain link fence be placed on each side of the park to extend 10'
into the normal water line. This cost would be $2,600.
(2) That a perimeter fence be placed at the park utilizing one or two possibilities:
(a) a galvanized 6' chain link fence with three pass-through gates at a cost of
$6,600; or
(b) a split wood rail fence around the perimeter of the park at a cost of $1,300.
It is staff's recommendation that due to the prohibitive cost of the fence and the money non-
budgeted and must come from Contingency, that $2,600 be expended for the chain link
fence from all sides into the water line, and that $1,300 be expended for a wood fence for
the perimeter, for a total capital cost of approximately $3,900.
Respectfully Submitted,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Ellis Shapiro , City Manager
FROM: Ray Brenner, Public Works Director
DATE: April 13 , 1994
RE: Peach Lake/Russell Drive Park
Pursuant to our meeting Monday morning , you directed me to provide
you with information to ( 1 ) fence the areas adjacent to the pond,
( 2 ) furnish an explanation as to the lake elevation, ( 3 ) a time
table to install security lighting , and ( 4 ) provide pricing to
install fencing or something less expensive to secure the park from
vehicular traffic .
( 1 ) The cost to install a 10 gauge , 6 ' chain link fence with
schedule 40 posts extending 10 ' into the normal water line is
$2 , 600 . This cost does not include permits that will be issued by
the city. This should satisfy the residents adjacent to the lake .
( 2 ) Buddy and I visited both Peach and Moxie lakes to determine if
a problem exists that would impact the elevations of these bodies
of water. It appears insufficient rain and approximately ten
irrigation lines extended into the lake to irrigate the lake front
properties could be a contributing factor. The size of each line
is approximately 11" in diameter. There are no valves open nor
have there been for the past eight months .
( 3 ) I met with Ed Stevens, Engineer, Florida Power, to install
three poles with 100 watt lighting . The costs monthly are $8 . 65
per pole , light , and monthly power. It appears it will require
three weeks to schedule . He assured me this task could be
accomplished sooner should a crew become available .
( 4 ) As discussed and recommended by Don Flippen, the appearance of
the wooden power poles with a galvanized pipe affixed to each post
would be unsightly. It would be my recommendation to have those
poles removed and have a 6 ' chain link fence installed around the
park perimeter at a cost of approximately $6 , 600 . This cost

represents the fence , installation, three walk through gates and
one 12 ' drive through gate for maintenance access. This would give
an attractive look to the park. To affix the galvanized piping as
discussed to the existing wooden posts , the posts would have to be
plumbed, and in some cases , moved to accommodate consistent
spacing . There is one area of the park that extends from east to
west that has no posts whatsoever. To install posts and install
the galvanized piping would require a four person crew
approximately eight to ten working days . This would not be my
recommendation.
Should the cost of the chain link fence be cost prohibitive ,
another option could be to : install two runs of 2" x 6" x 12 '
pressure treated lumber mounted on 4" x 4" pressure treated posts ,
installed and painted, around the perimeter of the park area. The
cost for lumber, nails , and paint is approximately $1 , 300 , and
could be accomplished with four employees in four to five days .
I will await your direction.
