BACKGROUND: On December 9, 2003, the Board received the report of the Efland Cheeks Park Concept Plan Review Committee, and authorized staff to develop a proposed site plan for the construction of Phase II of this park, co-located with Efland-Cheeks Elementary School in western Orange County. The attached site plan has been developed based on the report and Board feedback on December 9. The primary features of Phase II of the park are a new picnic shelter, lighting around the existing playing field and walking track, and trails (bath a smaller ADA-accessible trail from the Community Center and a longer natural surface loop trail that would connect to adjacent Richmond Hills subdivision). The existing playground equipment would also be relocated. As instructed on December 9, a separate possible add-on to the project pending discussion with the Orange County Schools, is the grading and seeding of the "northern field" located above the school, would be included in the construction bid materials for pricing and later consideration of addition. Staff would also develop a plan for addressing the former sedimentation basin on the property. After review and approval of the site plan, construction bid documents and construction drawings will be developed. These activities would not occur until after the County has hired a Construction Manager, A timetable for park construction will be presented at that time. Generally, it is estimated that construction bids/drawing preparation, the award of the bid and actual construction could be accomplished in approximately 8-10 months after the site plan is approved.
