Date Page 9 of 9 PR5750 (Rev 01/09/2007) 2007 MNRTF Grant Application - Addison Oaks Property Acquisition Section A4 Project Details - Land Acquisition Current Land Uses For the Addison Oaks Property Acquisition application, OCPR proposes the acquisition of 100 acres of forest and fallow fields that constitute the southern portion of Upland Hills Farm. This area is used by the farm for trails, hayrides, lake access and summer camp programs. There are no buildings on the site but several tent platforms and a picnic shelter would be removed or replaced if the property was acquired. Parcel information Table - State Equalized Value A state equalized value has not been determined for the acquisition target as is contained within the larger parcel that makes up Upland Hills Farm. Similar properties have been sold for between $13,000 and $14,000 per acre which has led County staff to estimate a purchase price of $1,350,000 ($1,400,000 including incidental costs). Section B Justification of Need Oakland County Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update - 2007 The Recreation Master Plan Update for 2007 justifies the proposed Addison Oaks Property Acquisition application by describing the OCPR initiatives that would be supported by the project, the grant funding policy that has been established to direct OCPR staff and the recreational needs that have been identified through national trends and local surveys. p. 25- Oakland County Parks Acquisition and Stewardship Programs OCPR has developed a program to identify parkland acquisition targets according to characteristics that support longstanding goals and objectives of the park system including: "Proximity to trail network; Proximity to recreational land; Parcel size; Adjacency to county park, Wetlands; Waterbodies; Location in underserved community; and Presence of natural features." In the 2007 master plan update, OCPR staff "has determined that future targets should also be identified by considering ecological and recreational connectivity." The Upland Hills Farm property was identified for the future expansion of Addison Oaks because: • The parcel could be linked to state and county trails and is in close proximity to the popular Polly Ann Trail; • The parcel abuts both state and county recreational lands; • It is a relatively large contiguous parcel with wetlands, lake access and significant natural areas as identified by the Michigan Natural Features Inventory; and • Because of its strategic location between Addison Oaks and the North Unit of Bald Mountain State Recreation Area, its acquisition as public recreational land would promote ecological and recreational connectivity. p. 27- Trails Initiative Oakland County Trails Advisory Council (OTAC) was formed "in response to the desire of Oakland County communities to work together to create new trails and connect existing trails." OTAC's mission is: "To assist public and private groups in the development of trails in their area of interest, to encourage the connection of individually managed trails, and to initiate actions that result in the Form 5750 Additional Information Page 1 of 6 Activity ,' :-. Exercise Walking 86 million Swimming 58 million Exercising with Equipment 54.2 million Camping 46 million Bowling 45.4 million Fishing 43.3 million Bicycle Riding 43.1 million _ Sourue: National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA) 2007 MNRTF Grant Application - Addison Oaks Property Acquisition continued planning, development and maintenance of a complete non-motorized county-wide trail network for the citizens of Oakland County." OCPR supports and hosts the OTAC organization including sponsoring a full-time Trails Network Coordinator that facilitates the council and "promotes trails within Oakland County Parks as part of the county-wide, interconnected trail network." The proposed Addison Oaks Property Acquisition would create opportunities to directly link state and county trails and further develop the county-wide interconnected trail network — Oak Routes. p. 33— State and Federal Grants OCPR's application for MNRTF funding for the Addison Oaks Property Acquisition is consistent with the stated policy "to pursue grant opportunities from all agencies and sources that provide funding compatible with the county parks and recreation endeavors." p. 51 — Regional Recreation Facilities OCPR along with the Michigan State Parks and the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority (HCMA) fill the need for regional parks that are defined as "large facilities that provide opportunities such as camping, swimming, boating, hiking and golfing which are typically beyond the ability of a local municipality to provide." The proposed acquisition of 100 acres of Upland Farms will better allow Addison Oaks to serve as a regional recreation facility and, together with Bald Mountain State Recreation Area, will provide significant opportunities for outdoor recreation near the major population centers of Pontiac, Flint and suburban Detroit, p. 63, 64 — National Recreational Trends The proposed property acquisition would help OCPR to address recent national recreation trends including swimming, fishing, non-motorized boating and the increased use of trails for walking and biking: Table 17. National Sports Participation 2005 "Table 17 lists the top seven activities persons seven years and older participated in at least once in 2005." "Over the past 10 years, the five top activities which showed the greatest increase in popularity include: • Kayaking (162 percent increase from 2.9 to 7.6 million); • Snowboarding (114 percent increase from 2.8 to 6 million); • Skateboarding (90 percent increase from 6.3 to 12 million): • Working out at a club (64 percent from 21.1 to 34.7 million); • Mountain biking (41 percent from 8.1 to 9.2 million)" p. 64— Implication of National Trends on Oakland County Recreation OCPR's planning consultant, Carlisle/Wortman Associates, referenced national recreation trends published by the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) and the Academy for Park and Recreation Administration including: "an increase in environmentally sensitive lifestyles, natural areas management, and water conservation"; interest in "wellness activities, and a desire to preserve and maintain cultural heritage"; and "greater recognition of the economic value of parks, open space and green infrastructure." Form 5750 Additional Information Page 2 of 6 2007 MNRTF Grant Application - Addison Oaks Property Acquisition The consultant noted that the implications for recreation in Oakland County include: • "As land development increases, the need to preserve open space will increase; • "With the increased popularity of exercise walking and fitness-related activities, there will be an increased importance on recreation contributing to walkable, livable and sustainable communities." • "An increased collaboration among recreation providers is also predicted. This would include partnership and cooperation between public, private and non-profit agencies in the delivery of parks and recreation services." The proposed acquisition would preserve a critical 100 acres of open space, providing opportunities for passive recreation and the management of significant natural areas. The acquisition would create a continuous recreational corridor between Bald Mountain and Addison Oaks and would create opportunities for interagency cooperation in providing recreational services. p.66 — Needs and Priorities for Improvement OCPR recently contracted with a polling firm to determine the recreational interests of Oakland County residents. Survey results (2006) indicate that "the top three recreation facilities identified as most needed include walking and biking trails (63%), nature trails (50%), and picnic areas and shelters (50%). When looking at the distribution of respondents within the county, at least 60 percent of the respondents have a need for walking and biking trails in all four quadrants [of the county]." "Based on the respondents four top choices, walking and biking trails (46%), nature trails (24%) and biking trails (20%) are the most important recreation facilities. Walking and biking trails are also the most important facilities identified by respondents in all four quadrants [of the county]." The proposed Addison Oaks Property Acquisition would provide significant opportunities for passive recreation including walking, biking, swimming and picnicking. p.67— Needs and Priorities for Improvement Survey results also indicated that residents consider "providing/maintaining nature areas and wildlife; acquiring open space/preserving the environment; [and] providing walking, hiking and biking trails" as important functions of OCPR. "When considering options for open space and parkland acquisition and development, 48- percent of respondents supported acquiring open space and leaving it undeveloped for future generations. In addition, 44 percent of respondents supported acquiring open space for both passive and active use, while 43 percent of respondents supported acquiring open space for passive use only." The proposed Addison Oaks Property Acquisition would preserve open space for passive recreation within significant natural areas. Modest site improvements would be considered to support access to outdoor recreation on the site and to promote potential connectivity between Addison Oaks and Bald Mountain. p.69 — City, Village and Township Survey OCPR contacted the officials of all 61 Cities, Villages and Townships (CVT's) in Oakland County to determine the interests of these municipalities in regards to OCPR and recreational opportunities within the county. A summary of survey results indicate that local units of Form 5750 Additional Information Page 3 of 6 2007 MNRTF Grant Application - Addison Oaks Property Acquisition government in Oakland County believe that priorities for the park system should be placed on a combination of existing park upgrades, new building/facility development, land acquisition and financial sustainability." Of the three most important actions for Oakland County Parks to accomplish over the next three years, respondents specified that the parks should "acquire additional parkland and continue improving existing parks." p.76 — Goals and Objectives In the Goals and Objectives for the strategic plan for 2007-2009, OCPR notes the goal to "Acquire, preserve and manage parkland and natural resources." Objective 1 under this goal directs OCPR to "increase key parkland locations by the year 2009." The Addison Oaks Property Acquisition addresses the need to acquire additional parkland as specified under the Goals and Objectives and as identified by the 2006 public surveys. Section D Site Conditions Oakland County Parks and Recreation 2007 Budget OCPR has a 2007 Operating Budget of $23,826,316. Section El MNRTF Priority Areas — Natural Features of the Project Site Inland Lake Frontage The proposed acquisition would create additional public access to the 32.4-acre Prince Lake. The property includes 305 linear feet of frontage, which represents 39 percent of the shore currently in private ownership. The property also includes approximately 0.3 acres of Prince Lake open water within the parcel boundary. Wetland Acreage The proposed acquisition includes 21 acres of wetlands as identified by Oakland County Preliminary Wetlands Data, which is a compilation of data layers from the USGS Hydric Soils, National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and Michigan Resources Information System (MIRIS) Wetland Coverage. Rare Species or Other Significant Natural Features MNFI has indicated the Element Occurrence of rare species within a quarter section of the project site. A probability model developed by MNFI indicates a high degree of likelihood that rare species would be found on the site. Section E2 . MNRTF Priority Areas — Wildlife Values of the Project Site Protect Wildlife Habitat The proposed acquisition will protect 100 acres of open space to preserve an ecological/wildlife corridor between Bald Mountain and Addison Oaks. Approximately 63 acres of the project site has been identified by the Michigan Natural Features Inventory as Priority One Natural Area. Form 5750 Additional Information Page 4 of 6 2007 MNRTF Grant Application - Addison Oaks Property Acquisition Links to Existing Projected Natural Areas The acquisition will also create opportunities to provide recreational links to the significant natural areas, as identified by the Michigan Natural Features Inventory, at Bald Mountain and Addison Oaks. Potential trail connections would encourage greater use of these natural areas and would create unique interpretive opportunities as visitors pass through a range of habitats within an ecological system.

Section E3 MNRTF Priority Areas — Natural Resource Recreation Opportunities Water Recreation Opportunities The proposed acquisition would create additional opportunities for swimming, non-motorized boating and scenic lake views for visitors to Addison Oaks. The concept plan for the development/use of the site includes the construction of a parking lot near Lake George Road and a trail system that would create access to Prince Lake. A public boat launch will not be constructed but non-motorized boating (canoes, kayaks) will be allowed on a carry-in basis. Hunting Opportunities Once acquired, the 100-acre parcel will be clearly demarcated with agricultural fencing and OCPR signage. OCPR recognizes the value of hunting to wildlife management on park lands. Open access to archery deer hunting opportunities would be made available to the general public in accordance with state laws and OCPR practices at other parks including Lyon and Orion Oaks (and Addison Oaks East — archery hunt to commence fall 2008.) Fishing Opportunities The proposed acquisition would provide shoreline and non-motorized fishing access to Prince Lake. Future development would include the installation of a universally accessible fishing dock similar to that provided at Independence Oaks. Ice fishing access would also be available on Prince Lake from the proposed acquisition property. Park staff would add Prince Lake to °CPR's ice monitoring and fishing education program. Bird Watching or Other Wildlife Viewing Opportunities The proposed acquisition would provide access to significant natural areas for bird watching or other wildlife viewing opportunities. Future trail development, including some universally accessible trails, will create greater access to the acquired natural areas. Form 5750 Additional Information Page 5 of 6 2007 MNRTF Grant Application - Addison Oaks Property Acquisition Nature Interpretation or Educational Opportunities OCPR staff is proposing to provide interpretive displays/kisoks at significant locations along the future trail route to introduce trail visitors to the natural history of the site and the surrounding landscape. The interpretive displays will be universally accessible, as will the proposed trail on which they will be located. Staff is exploring opportunities to create downloadable MP3 tours to provide rich interpretive experiences for a range of visitors including those with visual or cognitive imparments, Section E4. MNRTF Priority Areas - Public Access Onortunities Site Access The proposed acquisition property will be open to running/walking, bicycling and horseback riding with an OCPR maintained parking lot and trail access from Lake George Road. Appropriate barriers would be in place to prohibit vehicular access beyond the parking area. Hours of operation will be from dawn to dusk. Vehicular permits will be required in the proposed parking area. However, there will be no charge for non-motorized access from the surrounding public roads, Prince Lake and future connector trails. Section E5' MNRTF Priority Areas - State Trailways Trail Connectivity Recreational walkers/runners, bikers and equestrians are anticipated to use future trails on the property as these groups currently use the trails at Addison Oaks, the Cranberry Lake Preserve and Bald Mountain (with the exception of equine access which is prohibited at Bald Mountain). Some use by skiers is also anticipated but the trail will not be groomed. The strategic location of the property, adjacent to both Addison Oaks and the North Unit of Bald Mountain, provides convenient access via rural connector roads (Oak Routes) to the Polly Ann Trail and future Oakland Township Stony Creek Trail Corridor (if OCPR is successful in constructing a connector trail along Romeo Road). The common border with Bald Mountain creates opportunities to tie directly into a state-owned trail system. Form 5750 Additional Information Page 6 of 6 The 260-acre farm, located in Addison Township in the headwaters of the Clinton River, is a picturesque example of the geology and natural communities that characterize northeastern Oakland County. Corn, pumpkins and live stock buildings are nestled among rolling hills and fallow hay fields. 2007 MNRTF Grant Application - Addison Oaks Property Acquisition Project Narrative Prolect Description and Purpose Oakland County Parks and Recreation (OCPR) is seeking financial assistance from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) for the acquisition of 100 acres of Upland Hills Farm adjacent to Addison Oaks County Park and the North Unit of Bald Mountain State Recreation Area. The proposed acquisition will add significantly to the recreational opportunities provided by Addison Oaks and will create a unique opportunity to improve connectivity between state and county recreational land. Upland Hills Farm Upland Hills Farm is a privately owned and operated demonstration farm that provides recreation and education experiences for visitors across southeast Michigan. Farm roads meander through mature maple-beech forests past kettle wetland pockets and the steep slopes that border Prince Lake. A wide diversity of plants and animals inhabit this area including the threatened Red Shouldered Hawk and the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake (a candidate for listing as a federally endangered species). Form 5750 Project Summary and Needs Statement Page 1 of 6 2007 MNRTF Grant Application - Addison Oaks Property Acquisition Site Description The property owner, Upland Hills Farm, Inc. is interested in seeing most of the farm preserved as a park in honor of the Webster Family that originally purchased the property and developed the agricultural demonstration that is in use today. -Draft Concept for the Public Acquisition of Upland Hills Farm Representatives of Upland Hills Farm, Inc. have discussed with park staff the acquisition of 100 acres along the southern border of the farm as well as future opportunities to acquire the farm for continued use as an agricultural education facility. Upland Hills Farm is a willing seller and supports °CPR's application for grant funding. The acquisition of the proposed property would expand the recreational amenities offered by Addison Oaks and would provide additional public access to Prince Lake. -Wagon Rides through Upland Hills Forest Form 5750 Project Summary and Needs Statement Page 2 of 6 'The well-drained upland soils close to Lake George Road and relatively good condition of existing farm roads on the site would allow for rapid conversion to public parking and trail development. 'The common border with the North Unit of Bald Mountain, the adjacency of Addison Oaks and the close proximity of the Polly Ann trail provide opportunities for recreational connectivity.

This exposure is also the best way to build public support for ongoing habitat management efforts and provides a framework for OCPR environmental education programs. Form 5750 Project Summary and Needs Statement Page 4 of 6 Modifications to the existing dock could provide immediate swimming and non- motorized ("carry-in") boat access for canoes and kayaks. A barrier free fishing dock, similar to those constructed at Independence Oaks County Park, would be added after a barrier free nature trail and a lake access route is established. -Existing Upland Hills Dock on Prince Lake ' 2007 MNRTF Grant Application - Addison Oaks Property Acquisition Site Development Proposal OCPR proposes to develop 100 acre split as an annex to Addison Oaks County Park to expand opportunities for passive recreation and resource protection. In the short term, OCPR plans to construct a series of trails that provide opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding and cross-country skiing. Trails will be constructed according to AASHTO standards for multi-use trail access including 8-foot-wide compacted aggregate paths with 4-foot-wide mowed shoulders to accommodate equestrian use. -Vehicular Barrier at Addison Oaks A day use parking lot will be constructed on the site and portable toilet facilities will be provided to accommodate park guests.

OCPR is currently seeking grant funding from the MNRTF to assist in the construction a 1.7 mile trail connector from Lake George Road through Addison Oaks to the Cranberry Lake Preserve. The proposed route would create unprecedented trail access to public land but it would require (a least in the short term) the use several hundred feet of Lake George Road (a rural connector road) to access the nearest Bald Mountain trailhead. The acquisition of the Upland Hills property would allow OCPR to create a trail crossing across Lake George Road and would open up opportunities for working cooperatively with the Department of Natural Resources to create a trail linkage to the northeast parking area/trailhead for Bald Mountain. -2006 Trails and Greenways Concept Form 5750 Project Summary and Needs Statement Page 6 of 6 Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund ADDISON OAKS PROPERTY ACQUISITION PARK BOUNDARY MAP Operating Department: Oakland County Parks and Recreation Feet 1,000 2,000 4,000 Map Created on Feb 7, 2007 A 0 csTAKLAND Dom; hIi 61`1 ;1 [4:1 Addison Oaks County Park MNRTF 2007 Acquisition Target Oakland County Parks & Recreation 2800 VVatkins Lake Road Waterford, MI 48328 "The intorrnaeon brooded hereeen bee beer:comp:led from recorded deeds, pl., tax mem ete..eYe and .nee ptp1c re‘erde. ot not legally recorded mape survey aside not intended to be used a. one.

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 Property Acquisition Addison Oaks Trail Connector Springfield Township Property Acquisition Addison Oaks Property Acquisition: This acquisition consists of the 240-acre Upland Hills Farm, adjacent to Addison Oaks, although divided by Lake George Road. Staff is suggesting this be a phased acquisition, applying for the 100-acre southeast portion of the property now and the remaining portion in later years. The parcel includes Prince Lake access, and would provide a link to Bald Mountain State Park and a contiguous wildlife corridor. 4a - 1 t I (Public Hearing, January 31, 2007) The preliminary project total for this acquisition is $1,400,000, with a 44/56 grant match in the amount of $616,000 from the MNRTF and $784,000 from Oakland County Parks and Recreation, Springfield Township Property Acquisition: This acquisition consists of the 57-acre Samuel 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 $850,000, with a 11.7/88.3 grant match in the amount of $99,500 from the small acquisition fund through the MNRTF and $750,500 from Oakland County Parks and Recreation. Addison Oaks Trail Connector: This proposed trail connector 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. It will also provide a link to the parcel recently acquired from the Sullivan family. The preliminary project total is $520,000, with a 44/56 grant match in the amount of $228,800 from the MNRTF and $291,200 from Oakland County Parks and Recreation. These grant projects are consistent with the identified and established priorities for acquisitions and improvements within the adopted Recreation Master Plan. No questions were asked by the public; therefore, the public hearing was declared closed at 9:20 a.m. J.
