As proposed, a portion of the 1.7 mile trail would be constructed outside the boundary fence providing access to the Addison Oaks park entry drive and the proposed parking area on the newly acquired Sullivan property. The remainder of this trail would be constructed within the Addison Oaks park boundary providing access to Bald Mountain Recreational Area along the original Old Romeo Road. This trail would provide park guests with access to the 8 miles of marked trails at the North Unit of Bald Mountain as well as the proposed trail corridor that will extend over 5 miles from Oakland Township's Cranberry Lake Preserve to the Stony Creek Metro Park. Staff suggests that this project will garner wide support from the recreational community and will rank highly in the IVDNRTF Grant Review Process as it would connect with an existing state trail system and would maximize value of the recent commitment by the Trust Fund board to provide 2 million dollars for Oakland Township and the Oakland Land Conservancy to create a trail corridor between Cranberry Lake and Stony Creek Metropark. Pathway Construction Staff proposes the placement of the pathway outside the boundary fencing along Romeo. The trail would be constructed on Oakland County property within the 60 foot easement off Romeo Road. (The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) has been contacted regarding the placement of the path within the easement and has responded with a list of standards including an 8' wide surface and signage to prevent vehicular access.) The proposed trail would be approximately 1.7 miles long with an 8' wide gravel surface and 3-4' mowed shoulders to accommodate equestrian riders. The Trail would also contain approximately 1400' of boardwalks that cross various wetlands along the route. The layout of the trail will take users into and though a portion of Addison Oaks along the border between Addison and Oaldand Township in a manner that is could be accommodated within the Page 2 of 4 recreational options described in the current Addison Oaks Master Plan. Access would be permitted during daylight hours through vehicular access barriers on Kline and Lake George Roads. Staff proposes the construction of gravel paths and wooden boardwalks consistent with current park standards. Staff estimates a project cost of $450,000 including engineering costs, site preparation and the installation of gravel path ($20/linear ft) and boardwalk ($200/linear ft). Proposal for MNRTF Grant Application OCPR staff is seeking Commission approval to submit an application for financial assistance from the 2006 Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) for the construction of a Safety Path/Connector Trail at Addison Oaks. Current estimates for this development project are as follows: Incidental Cost Expenditure Estimate Engineering: $10,000 Site Preparation: $10,000 Total: $20,000 Cost Development Project Estimate Incidental Expenditure: $20,000 Gravel Path $150,000 Construction: Boardwalk $280,000 Construction: Total Project Costs: $450,000 MNRTF Grant Funds $270,000 (60%): _ Local Match (40%): $180,000 Local matching funds will be allocated from the 'A mil parks and recreation levy. NO GENERAL FUND DOLLARS WILL BE REQUESTED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONNECTOR TRAIL.

As proposed, the 1.7 mile trail would provide users with access to the Eit miles of marked trails at Addison Oaks, the recently acquired 350-acre Addison Oaks Natural Area and the 8 miles of marked trails at the north unit of Bald Mountain (via Lake George Road). The gravel path and boardwalk will also provide trail users with access to Oakland Township's Cranberry Lake Preserve and, in turn, the Stony Creek Trail Corridor that was recently recommended for funding by the Trust Fund Board. #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 the 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: Oakland County Park Access — Entrance Fee Program Addison Oaks does require a vehicular entry permit; however, open access to the proposed trail will be maintained via local roadways and pedestrian crossings. 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. All 11 county parks do not require permits for pedestrian and bike access. OCPR offers discounted rates to Oakland County residents in appreciation of the continued support of parks through the 1/4 mil levy. Discounts are available to all senior citizens (62 and over) on weekday entrance. Discount rates and special - 1 - 2006 MNRTF GRANT APPLICATION - Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 programs are available to school and community groups and lower income residents can receive park passes upon verification of financial status. 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/ca r/d ay (Oakland County residents) All Senior Citizens: $3/car/day (62 & over — weekdays only) Oakland County Parks Fee Annual Vehicle Permit Regular Rate: $46 Discount Rate: $28 (Oakland County residents) Senior Citizens: $23 (62 & over-- weekdays only) _ Parks Perks Pass: ([Dual pass — Oakland County Parks $43 and Huron-Clinton Metroparks #18d: Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail Connector— Public Access Public access to the proposed trail will be provided from the Cranberry Lake Preserve (across Romeo Road), a future parking area at the recently acquired Addison Oaks Natural Area, Addison Oaks Campground and Day-use Area and Bald Mountain State Recreational Area (via Lake George Road). The multi-use trail will be open to non-motorized activities such as running/walking, bicycling and horseback riding. #19a-b: Access to Significant Natural Resources The proposed trail will provide an important linkage between several public areas that contain significant natural resources as identified by the Michigan Natural Features Inventory. By promoting easy access between these natural areas, the - 2 - 2006 MNRTF GRANT APPLICATION - Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail Connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 Addison Safety Path/Trail Connector will encourage greater use of these areas as well a providing opportunities to pass through a range of habitats within an ecological system. #20a-c: Access to Inland Water Resources The safety path/connector trail will not provide direct access to water resources. What the trail will provide is greater access to those public lands that contain significant inland water resources. Residents in the surrounding area could use the trail to safely walk from the Cranberry Lake area to Addison Oaks and Bald Mountain, both of which offer fishing and swimming opportunities. Visitors to each of the public areas will also enjoy access, via the trail, to water resources of the adjoining lands without being required to drive from one location to another. Inland waters, their location, size and supported activities are listed below: Name Location Acres Activities Adams Lake Addison Oaks 4 Swimming, Fishing Buhl Lake Addison Oaks 37 Fishing, Non-Motorized Boating Fishing, Non-Motorized Prince Lake Bald Mountain 32 Boating, Wildlife Viewing West Graham B Id Mountain 22 Fishing, Non-Motorized Lake Boating, Wildlife Viewing Fishing Boating, Wildlife East Graham B Id M ' Lake ountain 11 Viewing Fishing, Non-Motorized Shoe Lake Bald Mountain 6 Boatina, Wildlife Viewina Fishing, Non-Motorized Heart Lake Bald Mountain 5 Boatina, Wildlife Viewing Fishing, Non-Motorized Carpenter Lake Bald Mountain Boatina, Wildlife Viewina Fishing, Non-Motorized Tamarack Lake Bald Mountain Boatina, Wildlife Viewina Chamberlain Bald Mountain 10 Fishing, Boating, Wildlife Viewing Oakland Cranberry Lake 60 Wildlife Viewing Township 2006 MNRTF GRANT APPLICATION - Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail Connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 #21a-d: New Opportunities for Wildlife Recreation — Wildlife Viewing Access The proposed trail will provide new opportunities for wildlife viewing and fishing in that it provides new connections between significant public natural resources. Such connectivity could allow the parks to increase the use of their natural resources through the sharing of visitors and pooling recreational experiences to attract new eco-tourists (See #22: Economic Benefits). #22: Economic Benefits Both mountain bike and equestrian organizations indicate that their constituents will select recreational locations by the size of area accessible to them as well as the quality/variety of experiences that are afforded to them in those areas. The trails at Addison Oaks and the Cranberry Lake Preserve, for example, have been noted by both use groups as being insufficient to justify the travel expense. (This is particularly true for equestrians who trailer their horses to the sites.) Providing shared access through a connector trail increases the recreational opportunities of Addison Oaks, Bald Mountain and the Cranberry Lake Preserve and the attractiveness of each as an eco-destination. This is particularly important for drawing visitors from more distant parts of Oakland County and the surrounding region. PART II: SITE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS Parcel History and Site Control Oakland County is the owner of both parcels on which the proposed trail will be constructed. Construction along Romeo Road would occur within the 60' easement/road setback. The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) has been notified of this proposal and has provided a list of requirements including signage to preclude vehicular traffic. PART III: SECTION A — DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS #2: Project Cost Estimate Staff proposes the construction of gravel paths and wooden boardwalks consistent with current park standards. Staff estimates a project cost of $450,000 including engineering costs, site preparation and the installation of gravel path ($20/linear ft) and boardwalk ($200/linear ft). 2006 IVINRTF GRANT APPLICATION - Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail Connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 #3: Permit Issues This project will result in no loss of wetlands although the proposed boardwalks will be elevated above approximately 1400' of wetlands along Romeo Road. These wetlands should not be subject to state and federal protection as they are less than five acres in size and non-continuous with lakes, rivers or streams. OCPR will, however, submit a copy of this application (including project location maps) to representatives of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality in order to receive verification of this status or necessary permit requirements prior to the September 1 st deadline for supplemental grant information. Addison Township will require a permit to build within 25' of a wetland along with a standard building permit for the construction of the boardwalks. The Oakland County Drain Commissioner's (OCDC) office will also require a soil erosion permit for the boardwalk construction and any grading that occurs adjacent to wetlands. OCPR will begin the permit application process upon notification by the Department of Natural Resources Grant Management staff of the 2006 Trust Fund recommendations. qAKLAND a i'd AdOktoct Oaks Salary Path Proposal 5M0lomg1 Comfy Arlo mkt fleston :W. mon 11..."'""nichipmffi.

Located on park property within the 60' easement/setback on Romeo Road, this path would provide safe access to visitors traveling between the eastern and western portions of Addison Oaks as well as those traveling between the park and the Cranberry Lake preserve. Approximately a third of the proposed trail will cross through Addison Oaks along the border between Addison Township and Oakland Township. This link will provide trail access to Lake George Road and Bald Mountain State Recreation Area, and help realize the vision of an interconnected trail system by providing access to public lands under state, county and township jurisdictions. -6- OAKLAND COUNTY 2006 MNRTF GRANT APPLICATION - Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - FORM PR 5750 A) Development Proposal — Site Description Northeast Oakland County posses a rich variety of ecological and recreational resources, many of which have been preserved in the public domain. The recent acquisition of 350 acres of natural areas by Oakland County Parks (to create Addison Oaks - East) protects a critical portion of a major wildlife corridor in a rapidly developing area. The proposed connector trail will provide visitors with unique opportunities to explore these resources across a larger ecological system by linking existing trails that meander through over 2 7 800 acres of public land. isNk ROUtfee Or- SP -Site Context Map — Recreational Lands In December of 2005, the Trust Fund Board recommended the funding of the Oakland Township Stony Creek Trail Corridor extending from the Cranberry Lake Preserve approximately six miles southeast to Stony Creek Metropark. The proposed connector trail would maximize this significant investment by providing access from the Stony Creek Trail to the eight miles of trails at Addison Oaks and the eight miles of trails at the north unit of Bald Mountain. -7- -Vehicular Barrier at Addison Oaks -Addison Oaks East — Romeo Road Setback 2006 MNRTF GRANT APPLICATION — Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail Connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 A) Development Proposal — Trail Construction The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) has been contacted regarding the placement of the path within the Romeo Road easement setback and has responded with a list of standards including an 8' wide surface and signage to prevent vehicular access. The proposed trail would have approximately 7600 linear feet of gravel path and 1400 linear feet of boardwalk suspended over a series of wetlands abutting the roadway. Pedestrian crossings at Walker and Romeo roads will be similar to those successfully used at other major trail intersections including the nearby Paint Creek Trail. The design and development of these crossings have been facilitated by the Oakland Trails Advisory Council of which OCPR is a member. -Safety Path Layout at Walker Road Crossing -8- Fast Beck Joist Istioar ialMN Estosttoo Sectlao music n _,Scrawanttar ati Cram; lhay For Strati 4.,--- toad ittatila SallaatIlOr taint Fin Orasstrica Saa;17—arl racks1 bloat atm Snails Sr 4." -lodependence Oaks Boardwalk -Installation of Helical Piers at Independence Oaks -9- 2006 MNRTF GRANT APPLICATION — Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail Connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 A) Development Proposal — Trail Construction Continued 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.

Signage will be installed to alert visitors of the multiple trail uses and appropriate trail/park etiquette. The 8' gravel path and boardwalks will be designed and constructed so as to be compliant with standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) including the use of appropriate surfacing material. Also, 36-inch mowed trail shoulders will be maintained to accommodate the needs of equestrian travel. -Addison Oaks Active Recreation Area -Bald Mountain North Unit -11- 2006 MNRTF GRANT APPLICATION — Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail Connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 B) Project Opportunities — Recreation The safety path/trail connection would allow visitors at the respective public areas to take advantage of nearby recreational resources. Shared access could expand the opportunities for current users, market park amenities to new users and draw visitors from remote areas by clustering recreational activities. Expanded Opportunities Convenient access between these parklands would, for example, allow mountain bikers to almost double the length of their treks while vary the riding experience from easy multi-use trails to challenging one-way race course loops. -Trail Users at Independence Oaks Expanded access is extremely important to equestrians because of the cost of trailering horses to recreational areas. Even though horses are not allowed into Bald Mountain, the connector trail would add 1.7 miles of equine friendly trails to the five miles of trails at Addison Oaks that are already open to horses. The connector trail would also provide access to the Cranberry Lake Preserve which welcomes riders and opens up the potential of accessing the future Stony Creek corridor. -Addison Oaks Active Recreation Activities 2006 11/INRTF GRANT APPLICATION - Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail Connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 B) Project Opportunities — Recreation Continued Expanded Opportunities Continued Hikers, runners and skiers at each park could also significantly increase the length and variety of their recreational experiences through open trail access. The common access to recreational resources also provides opportunities for incorporating destination activities into trail use including: 'Fishing 'Swimming 'Boat and Bike Rental .In-Line Skating 'Wildlife Viewing 'Picnicking *Playgrounds 'Concessions 'Disc Golf 'Camping (Cabins, Tent and RV) 'Seasonal Programs Marketing Park Amenities Although there is currently no way to determine the overlap between the state, county and township visitor pools, OCPR asserts that shared trail access will increase the ability of each park system to market its unique amenities. Interviews with OCPR staff at Addison Oaks has provided anecdotal evidence that even long time park campers are unaware of the some of Bald Mountain's facilities (including the archery/shooting range and rustic cabins) or the existence of Cranberry Lake Preserve. Clustering Recreational Activities -Cranberry Lake Preserve Perk Sign, Romeo Road The connector trail, and the shared access to resources that it provides, also allows for the clustering of activities in park marketing efforts and recreational plans of visitors. By offering a rich variety of recreational experiences, northeastern Oakland County will be able to compete with more remote destinations in attracting tourists from across southeast Michigan. -12- 2006 MNRTF GRANT APPLICATION - Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail Connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 B) Project Opportunities — Resource Protection The proposed connector trail offers opportunities for resource protection by creating access to significant natural areas and promoting ecological connectivity along trail corridors.

This exposure is also the best way to build public support for on-going habitat management efforts and provides a framework for OCPR environmental education programs. -Natural Areas Map -Swamp Milkweed in Addison Fen -13- -Wildlife Corridor Map — 2004 Property Acquisition Process -Blandings Turtle — Romeo Road Crossing 2006 MNRTF GRANT APPLICATION— Addison Oaks Safety Patharail Connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 B) Project Opportunities — Resource Protection Continued Ecological Connectivity OCPR has been participating in a Green Infrastructure Planning Process conducted by the Environmental Stewardship Division of the Oakland County Planning and Economic Development Services (OCPEDS) office. This effort utilizes information on priority natural areas, provided by MNFI, and the detailed knowledge of local representatives to create maps designating "hubs" of critical habitat and "green corridors" that could help insure the long-term viability of resident wildlife populations. The natural areas adjacent to the proposed connector trail have been identified as major hubs within northeast Oakland County. Traveling on the connector trail would allow visitors to physically experience the ecological connectivity between these areas and to note road crossings, residential development and management practices that are barriers to wildlife movement. -Walker Road Crossing OCPEDS staff have entered into talks with the RCOC to propose a Walker Road wildlife crossing to increase connectivity between the East and West portions of Addison Oaks. -14- -Young Mountain Bikers— Addison Oaks Race -Horse Rig — Rose Oaks Ride the Rose Event 2006 MNRTF GRANT APPLICATION — Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 C) Barrier-Free Compliance OCPR considers issues of universal access (according to standards set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in every development project it initiates. All buildings are barrier-free and every park has significant portions of the site fully accessible to all visitors. OCPR is currently undergoing a complete review of all park facilities, trails and recreational amenities by an consulting firm specializing in ADA compliance. OCPR will design and construct the connector trail and boardwalk in compliance with ADA standards. D) Economic Benefits of the Project Both mountain bike and equestrian organizations indicate that their constituents select recreational locations by the size of area accessible to them as well as the quality/variety of experiences in those areas. The trails at Addison Oaks and the Cranberry Lake Preserve, for example, have been noted by both use groups as being insufficient to justify the travel expense. (This is particularly true for equestrians that trailer their horses to the sites.) Providing shared access through a connector trail increases the recreational opportunities of Addison Oaks, Bald Mountain and the Cranberry Lake Preserve and the attractiveness of each as an eco- destination. This is particularly important for drawing visitors from more distant parts of Oakland County and the surrounding region. E) Purchase of less than Fee Simple Title: Not Applicable F) Additional Costs Associated with the Project: Not Applicable -15- 2006 MNRTF GRANT APPLICATION - Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 2) Need for the Project Need for the Project as documented in the Community Recreation Plan Oakland County Parks and Recreation's Community Recrealiaii_BlaEL2f1Q22DQ5, submitted to MDNR, highlights a number of issues confronting Oakland County in the next five years. The single largest issue predicted is the continuing development of the County (p.49). We are experiencing growth rates that exceed that of the rest of the State. This has resulted in open land disappearing even as the growing population increases demand for recreation. OCPR puts the highest priority on acquiring parkland for the future, with the goal of "increas[ing] by 2,400 acres over 1997 levels the park land acres owned by 2007" (p.77). Applicant's Existing System OCPR manages more than 6,000 acres of parkland in 11 parks distributed throughout the county. Five parks are larger and more natural, including Rose, Independence and Orion Oaks. Others are more focused on active recreation, like Waterford and Red Oaks. Springfield Oaks features the Oakland County Fairgrounds. Groveland Oaks has a variety of recreational offerings including RV camping, swimming and minigolf. Need for the Project in Relationship to Existing Facilities OCPR is seeking to develop a safety path/trail connector at Addison Oaks to provide safe access from the western portion of the park to the recently-acquired 350 acres of natural areas east of Walter Road. The proposed connector will also provide access to Bald Mountain State Recreation Area, Oakland Township's Cranberry Lake Preserve and the future Stony Creek Trail Corridor. This connection will provide visitors at each of these areas greater access to public resources expanding the length, variety and richness of recreational experiences. Shared access to resources and park amenities may also allow for the respective park systems to avoid duplication of services while better defining the role of each in enhancing the quality of life of the residents of southeast Michigan. -16- 2006 MNRTF GRANT APPLICATION — Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail Connector SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION — FORM PR 5750 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. PART V: ATTACHMENTS 1. Project Location Map 2. Preliminary Site Development Map 3.

Scramlin, General Manager Dave Coleman, President Chief of Design and Development Joe Figa noted that the Department of Natural Resources notified staff that the deadline to submit applications to request matching Michigan Natural Resources Trust and Land and Water Conservation funds for 2006 is April 1. A public hearing is also a requirement of the DNR to qualify for funds. Notice of the hearing was advertised in area newspapers. The projects staff selected are as follows: Addison Oaks Safety Path Development Springfield Township Property Acquisition Addison Oaks Safety Path Development: This proposed safety path will link Oakland Township's Cranberry Lake Preserve on the east with Bald Mountain state park on the west, making this link an important tie into that trailway corridor. The preliminary project total is $450,000, with a 60140 grant match in the amount of $270,000 from the MNRTF and $180,000 from Oakland County Parks and Recreation. Springfield Township Property Acquisition: 4a - 1 J. David VanderVeen Karen Kohn CPS/CAP (Public Hearing, February 1, 2006) This acquisition consists of the 57-acre Samuels Farm adjacent to the western boundary of Springfield Oaks. The parcel consists of open farmland, with some wetlands, one wooded section, and some buildings. Plans for use of the land would include parking, a demonstration farm in conjunction with the Ellis barn, plus possibly a trail system. The preliminary project total for this acquisition is $900,000, with a 40/60 grant match in the amount of $360,000 from the MNRTF and $540,000 from Oakland County Parks and Recreation. Grant funding through the Land and Water Conservation Fund for these projects would be a 50/50 match, those funds will be available for applications later this year. These grant projects are consistent with the goals adopted in the 2002-2006 Recreation Master Plan. L.C. Scramlin, General Manager of the Springfield Oaks Activity Center, remarked that the proposed acquisition of the 57-acre farm in Springfield Township is one of the most important things that could happen to the park. This acreage is the only clear space that could be acquired for it; it is a key thing to help that park keep growing. He also noted the community would love to see this property stay as open space, and the Parks Commission can expect to receive tremendous support from the community. No questions were asked; therefore, the public hearing was declared closed at 9:16 a.m. Secretary Recording Secretary Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund NOTICE OF INTENT OAKLAND COUNTY Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail Connector Development Grant Operating Department: Oakland County Parks and Recreation March 17, 2006 SEMCOG 535 Griswold St. Detroit, MI 48226-3602 RE: 2006 Recreation Grant Application To whom it may concern: I am enclosing the "Notice of Intent" (PR 5750-2) as required by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Recreation Division for Recreation Grant Applications — 2001, for the following Oakland County acquisition project: Addison Oaks Safety Path/Trail Connector Development Grant If you have any questions or require further information, please call our office at (248) 858-4620.
