a-~ Possibly up to 12 youth fields within the 6 larger fields. The large size also gives more opportunity to move goals back and forth to take the wear away from one particular area or even diagonally to take in consideration the sunset 2) If 6 fields won't fit or if there is extra room, to include another smaller field for under 11 year olds..3) Asked for a championship field. 4) Irrigation tluoughout and to include water fountains. 5) Field lighting, and security lighting. 6) Perimeter fencing for security to control access and people using the field when they are not suppose to as well as to prevent "turfing" that tends to happen without that ltind of security. 7) Asked for a perimeter, walking track if at all passible so moms can walk while they wait. 8) Must include storm water drainage and erosion control as well as required landscaping. 9) Want full electric plumbing and water service, road access parking and hope it can be combined with the school itself. 10) A building for concession stands, restrooms, equipment room, a small office, team or meeting room of some sort, supply room, and an extended pad around the roof with picnic tables for storm shelter, first-aid station and referee station to be accommodated under that shelter, Mike will show that they have more than answered these requests. Rod Visser explained to the group the reason Mike's company was selected for the project.. They have very extensive experience over the past 12-15 years working with County Govenunent and Orange County Schools. School facilities include Pathways Elementary and Smith Middle School. They are currently under contract with School District to design the new Middle School. Rad spoke of the time line driving this project. The middle school is scheduled tobe completed by the summer 2006, We are trying to achieve an economy of scale to make both projects a little less expensive with shared development between the school azid the soccer center to hopefully save hundreds of thousands of dollars. The general approach in purchasing park land is statutorily, it is the Orange County Commissioners' responsibility, The Commissioners have been very active over the last few years trying to acquire either through outright purchase or ownership of space for active or low impact recreational activities. Henry .Iolms asked how we will get the money to provide the other things besides the land? Rod explained the Soccer Super Fund has about $2 million but the conunissioners have not decided how much will be used on the development of this site. Land was purchased at a little over $5 hundred thousand. Commissioners have other money set aside in a CIP (County Capital Investment Plan) 10 year program. We will need to look for additional funds. It seems we do not currently have all fluids needed to develop the site. Mike Hammersley from Corley, Redfoot, Zack showed an overview of the land tracts. Plans show the school and the soccer center working together to reduce costs by only creating one entrance, using the same contractor and building at the same time. The atnount of paved parking that the school will have plus paved bus parking, can be used by the soccer center. The school will have its own athletic stadium with a surrounding track,
