The 370' boardwalk and 60' bridge would connect the existing gravel trails through a large wetlands complex to create a four mile looped trail system in the 469.7-acre Lyon Oaks Nature Preserve. The proposed boardwalk will be constructed using helical piers in order to minimize the negative impacts on the wetlands over which it will be built. This method has been successfully used at Independence Oaks on an educational boardwalk and is currently being utilized to construct a looped trail system through the Clinton River Headwaters. Project Benefits The proposed boardwalk and bridge will facilitate passive recreation and environmental education by providing access to a large wetland complex and lowland maple-beech forest that is unique within the park system. Recreational Opportunities OCPR sponsored surveys indicate that the public places a high value on opportunities to recreate on looped trail systems. The boardwalk and bridge will create such opportunities by linking existing trails within the Lyon Oaks Nature Preserve. As Lyon Oaks is bordered by a safety path along Pontiac Trail, the four mile trail network will tie into the countywide trail system Oak Routes and will be available to the local community during daylight hours. Page 2 of 3 Local matching funds will be allocated from the % mil parks and recreation levy. NO GENERAL FUND DOLLARS WILL BE REQUESTED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BRIDGE AND BOARDWALK TRAIL CONNECTOR. Attachments: 1. LWCF Grant Application 2. OCPR Grant Application Resolution 3. Oakland County Board of Commissioners Draft Resolution Resource Protection The Lyon Oaks Nature Preserve is limited to passive recreational activities including hiking, photography, wildlife viewing and seasonal archery hunting (an integral part of wildlife management and parkland stewardship). OCPR contends that offering recreational experiences within ecologically rich landscapes is an integral part of public land stewardship within Oakland County, The access created by the proposed bridge and boardwalk is one of best ways to build public support for ongoing habitat management efforts. The universal access created by this project will also support the educational outreach programs offered by the Lyon Oaks Nature Center. In 2005, the nature center staff conducted more than 500 education programs that reached nearly 4,000 residents and guests. Proposal for LWCF Grant Application • OCPR staff is seeking Commission approval to submit an application for financial assistance from the 2006 Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) for the construction of the Lyon Oaks Bridge and Boardwalk Trail Connector. Current estimates for this development project are as follows: Incidental Expenditure Cost Estimate Plaque: $40 Boardwalk Construction: $74,000 (370' @ $200/LF) Pre-Manufactured Bridge: $30,000 and Abutments (60'x8') Permit Fees: $3,000 Total: $107,000 (rounded to nearest hundred) LWCF Grant Funds (50%): $63,500 Local Match (50%): $53,500 Page 3 of 3 Land and Water Conservation Fund OAKLAND COUNTY LYON OAKS BRIDGE AND BOARDWALK TRAIL CONNECTOR Development Grant JULY 1, 2006 Operating Department: Oakland County Parks and Recreation Land and Water Conservation Fund APPLICATION FORM 5750 1=1.41M FORM 5750 — SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION OAKLAND COUNTY LYON OAKS BOARDWALK AND BRIDGE TRAIL CONNECTOR Development Grant Operating Department: Oakland County Parks and Recreation 2006'LWCF GRANT APPLICATION — Lyon Oaks Boardwalk and Bridge Trail Connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 PART I: GENERAL INFORMATION #3: Brief Description of Proposal Lyon Oaks Boardwalk and Bridge Trail Connector Oakland County Parks and Recreation (OCPR) is requesting financial assistance from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) for the purpose of constructing of a boardwalk and bridge trail connector at Lyon Oaks County Park. As proposed, the 370' Boardwalk and 60' Bridge would provide users with access across a large wetland complex including the Norton Drain. This connection will complete a trail loop that will provide universal access to four miles of trails within the Lyon Oaks Nature Preserve. #9: Recreation Programs Budget: OCPR has a 2006 Operating Budget of $21,862,863. Of this amount, $4,310,943 is the Operating Budget for Recreational Programs and Facilities (excluding golf course and park operations). OCPR also expends $597,467 of its total budget operating two Nature Centers and the Educational Outreach Programs conducted by the staff of each. OCPR has an additional $23,920,734 for current and future Capital Outlay. #18c-d: Oakland County Park Access — Entrance Fee/Public Access Lyon Oaks does require a vehicular entry permit; however, there is open access • to the park trails and day-use recreational facilities via a paved safety path along Pontiac Trail. Similar to the national and state park systems, OCPR operates a vehicle permit program to offset the cost of maintaining a high quality parks system for Oakland County residents and visitors. Of the 11 county parks, six require permits for vehicular access. The remaining five parks do not require vehicle permits because of the presence of additional on-site recreation facilities (such as golf courses and waterparks) that subsidize their operation. OCPR offers discounted rates to Oakland County residents in appreciation of the continued support of parks through the 1/4 mil levy. Senior rates apply for those 62 or older on weekday entrance and senior rates are also extended to those with permanent mental or physical disabilities. 2006 LWCF GRANT APPLICATION - Lyon Oaks Boardwalk and Bridge Trail Connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 The rate schedules for Vehicle Entry and Annual Vehicle Permits for Oakland County Parks are as follows: _ Oakland County Parks Fee Daily Permit Regular Rate: $10/car/day _ Discount Rate: $5/car/day _ (Oakland County residents) Individuals with Disabilities: $3/car/day All Senior Citizens: (62 & over— weekdays only) $3/car/day Oakland County Parks Fee Annual Vehicle Permit Regular Rate: $46 _ Discount Rate: $28 (Oakland County residents) Individuals with Disabilities: $25 Senior Citizens: i $25 (62 & over— weekdays only) Parks Perks Pass: (Dual pass — Oakland County Parks $43 and Huron-Clinton Metroparks The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission considers economic factors in the establishment of park fees. The Commission continues to authorize an annual expenditure of $30,000 to subsidize waterpark group trips, nature center visits and Mobile Recreation Units rentals by organizations and communities experiencing economic hardship. The Commission also provides scholarships for youth participating in Oakland County Summer Day Camps through a cooperative program with Oakland County Youth Assistance. 2006 .LWCF GRANT APPLICATION — Lyon Oaks Boardwalk and Bridge Trail Connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 PART III: SECTION A — DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS #3: Permit Issues This project will result in no loss of wetlands although the proposed boardwalks will be elevated above approximately 370' of wetlands and 60' of the Norton Drain. The wetlands that will be crossed are subject to state and federal protection as they are greater than five acres in size and are continuous with a county drain. OCPR will seek appropriate wetlands permits from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), Lyon Township and the Office of the Oakland County Drain Commissioner (OCDC) similar to the permits that were secured for the construction of a boardwalk and bridge at Independence Oaks. OCPR will also seek the permission of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) that holds a conservation easement on 469.7-acres of the Lyon Oaks Nature Preserve. The conservation easement allows for the construction of interpretive trails, boardwalks and bridges as well as activities necessary for appropriate maintenance of those facilities. OCPR will begin the permit application process upon notification by the Department of Natural Resources Grant Management staff of the 2006 Trust Fund recommendations. - 3 - Land and Water Conservation Fund FORM 5750 — PROJECT NEEDS STATEMENT OAKLAND COUNTY LYON OAKS BOARDWALK AND BRIDGE TRAIL CONNECTOR Development Grant Operating Department: Oakland County Parks and Recreation -Independence Oaks Boardwalk Pest se JOS! ledge Sum Strerniecter Extenstie Section WillanZODZAMag= iyAlichrrEX I Eldi ON", 3 am _mo:4 r evj r Oress Slice Led Suttee learTiTtnit Wicket Hawn Seem Grads 01.141 ScretAxter tool fur tress-Irsce -Helical Pier Manufacturer Schematic -1- 2006 LWCF GRANT APPLICATION — Lyon Oaks Boardwalk and Bridge Trail Connector PROJECT SUMMARY AND NEED STATEMENT — FORM PR 5750 PART IV: — LYON OAKS BRIDGE AND BOARDWALK TRAIL CONNECTOR PROJECT SUMMARY AND NEED STATEMENT 1) Project Description and Purpose A) Site Description/Development Proposal Oakland County Parks and Recreation (OCPR) is seeking financial assistance from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) for the construction of a boardwalk and bridge trail connector at Lyon Oaks County Park. At 1041-acres, Lyon Oaks is the third largest park of the eleven Oakland County Parks. The park features a day-use park with large recreational fields, a dog park, a fully staffed nature center and 469.7-acre Nature Preserve that is held under conservation easement. Lyon Oaks also offers an 18-hole golf course, driving range and banquet center. The 370' boardwalk and 60' bridge would connect the existing gravel trails through a large wetlands complex to create a four mile looped trail system in the Lyon Oaks Nature Preserve. The proposed boardwalk will be constructed using helical piers in order to minimize the negative impacts on the wetlands over which it will be built. This method has been successfully used at Independence Oaks on an educational boardwalk and is currently being utilized to construct a looped trail system through the Clinton River Headwaters. B) Project Benefits The proposed boardwalk and bridge will facilitate passive recreation and environmental education by providing access to a large wetland complex and lowland maple-beech forest that is unique within the park system. 2006 LWCF GRANT APPLICATION — Lyon Oaks Boardwalk and Bridge Trail Connector PROJECT SUMMARY AND NEED STATEMENT — FORM PR 5750 B) Project Benefits — Continued Recreational Opportunities °CPR sponsored surveys indicate that the public places a high value on opportunities to recreate on looped trail systems. The boardwalk and bridge will create such opportunities by linking existing trails within the Lyon Oaks Nature Preserve. As Lyon Oaks is bordered by a safety path along Pontiac Trail, the four mile trail network will tie into the countywide trail system Oak Routes and will be available to the local community during daylight hours.

The universal access created by this project will also support the educational outreach programs offered by the Lyon Oaks Nature Center. In 2005, the nature center staff conducted more than 500 education programs that reached nearly 4,000 residents and guests. C) Barrier-Free Compliance OCPR will design and construct the bridge and boardwalk according to standards set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act — ADA. 2) Need for the Project OCPR strives to be a steward of more than 6,000 acres of public land. Providing access to that land, particularly its natural areas, is of utmost importance for the preservation of the quality of life that has defined Oakland County. The construction of the proposed boardwalk and bridge will provide significant access to recreational and ecological resources as previously described. 3) Past Grant Performance Over the years, OCPR has benefited from many MNRTF and LWCF grants from the MDNR. Grants have been accepted in good faith, and every effort has been made to comply with all MDNR stipulations. OCPR is confident that future grant agreements will continue to be carried out in this spirit. -2- 'OAKLAND TRAIL COUNTY NETWORK 2006 LWCF GRANT APPLICATION — Lyon Oaks Boardwalk and Bridge Trail Connector PROJECT SUMMARY AND NEED STATEMENT — FORM PR 5750 ATTAC HM E NTS 1.
