Xj' 13 198? Subject: Proposed Park Development for Students and Adults VVith Severely Disabling Handicaps Dear Eric: I have been contacted by members of the staff at the Hawthorne Learning Center to determine if there is any County interest in participating in the development of a park specifically designed for the severely handi- capped. Their project is proposed to be built on the Hawthorne Learning Center land, which is owned by the Pontiac School District and is adjacent to Hawthorne Park owned by the City of Pontiac (copy of proposed plan enclosed) . The project is designed to be open to the general public as well as accessible to the multiply -impaired population so that all groups, regardless of limitations, may enjoy interacting in a social and recreational environment. Original estimates for the construction of the facility approximate $50, 000. They are interested in obtaining participation by all units of government as well as the private sector. Please let me know if the Parks and Recreation Commission would be interested in being part of such a project. I understand that some initial contact has been made by the Hawthorne Learning Center people with Jon Kipke and Monica Walch of your staff. Sincerely, James rvf.

Bills, R.L.A. Project Consultant Bills/Childs Associates, P. C. Pontiac, Michigan 48053 Subject: West Playground Master Site Development Plan The project area under study covers 1.2 acres and is adjacent to the west wall of the learning center building. Site improvements proposed within this master plan are essentially confined to this location withthe exception of a connecting walk to the building south entrance drive. A topographic survey was completed early this Spring and its el evati onal data in combination with measurement of building components (entrances, windows, etc.) directly related to exterior space, forms the basis for project site design. Study sessions with the Hawthorne Learning Center staff to identify site operational requirements were also conducted as part of the basic data research process. SITE RESOURCES AND ANALYSIS The general project area is composed of a level terrace bounded -on the south and east by the I earni ng center bui (di ng together wi th a 50 x 80 ft. fen ced en cl osure extending west from the building's northwest wing. An exit door from the wing end classroom provides access to the exterior enclosure. The north and west limits of the project site are formed by a six to ten foot natural embankment that borders a lower wooded area extending approximately 350 feet northwest to Little Silver Lake. Property to the west and contiguous with the total 18 acre Hawthorne Learning Center site forms a part of Hawthorne Municipal Park, administered by the City of Pontiac. These existing physical characteristics estab- lish an excellent open space view to the north and west from the project location. 7 B-4 Soils within the project limits are composed of well drained sandy looms with no limitations for the type of development presently under consideration. Vegetative cover consists solely of scattered patches of turf together with one 12 inch Sugar maple 75 feet west of the building west wing. Access to the project site from the building is via six entrances with the major operational exit and entry occurring at the end of the north wing where it joins the main building with a prefabricated type addition. This entry point is rather unattractive with a large exterior electrical box system to the left of the doorway. At this time no walks or play apparatus are in place on the site. PROJECT SITE IMPROVEMENTS Study sessions with the consultant, the learning center principal and the staff were conducted during the Winter and early Spring of 1983. Although site deficiencies with regard to lack of improvements is obvious, i t' i s fortunate from a planning point of view that no corrective costs will be incurred with regard to removing or relocating existing equipment incompotable with present operational needs. Following assembly and evaluation of all research information, a di agramati c site analysis layout together with a preliminary plan was prepared by the con- sultant and presented to the Hawthorne Learning Center staff. A preliminary construction cost estimate was also submitted along with general recommendations for phased development options. Following the Hawthorne Learning Center staff review of all project preliminary design material, the consultant was auth- orized to proceed with completion of the final master plan package incorporating staff recommendations and changes. Master plan components supported by the learning center staff concensus are discussed below. I . Plaza/Pavi I on Functioning as a key component within the total plan, this proposed facility would provide a number of solutions to present outdoor operational needs. The combination concrete plaza covering approximately 2,600 square feet (includes area under pavilion roof) and pavilion structure is shown on major entry/exi t point to the bui Idi ng. This location is convenient for multi- purpose group activity on a partially sheltered hard surfaced space that would also function as an attractive yet maintainable feature relative to the existing building structure. Other items such as benches, picnic tables, drinking fountain and raised planters designed for wheelchair approaches could also add interest with function to this entrance oriented intensive use area. 2 7B-5 The proposed pavilion would cover approximately 450 to 500 square feet .......... of the plaza surface, hexagonal in design, and fabricated.of chemically treated wood material to provide protection from decay and fire. 2. Exercise Trail and Access Walks The plan calls for a system of asphalt paved "trails" designed with six offset pods for various play or exercise apporcotus locations. The "trails" 730 feet in length with a minimum width of 8 feet, are directly connected to the plaza feature. Interconnecting access walks are held to 6 foot width minimums to allow space for wheelchair use. Access walks principally serve as connectors to existing building entry points and to the main drive for drop off on the southwest end of the building. 3. Special Use Areas a. Garden - The existing 50 x 80 foot area adjacent to the southwest wing of the building and enclosed by a 4 foot high chainlink fence would well adapt to the establishment of garden -plots. Such plots would combine both those at ground level and the raised type for wheelchair use. An example of the latter can be seen at the Wing Lake Developmental Center, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. At this site planting beds are enclosed by the construction of timber retainers to workable wheelchair elevations. Paved access to planters is shown on plan from the "trai I" and from the existing building entry. A ten foot double gate will re- quire installation in the existing fence at the "trail" entry location. b. Climbing Hill - A five to six foot high turfed mound or hill is pro- posed as a play feature within the "trai I" system. Constructed of earth fill, this facility would be graded to accomodate wheelchair access to the top as shown on plan. The base of the mound measures 60 to 70 feet across providing gentle slopes for safe play activity and ease of turf maintenance. C. Playground Apparatus - The Hawthorne Learning Center Staff recently purchased and received delivery on a few pieces of play- ground equipment, and have delayed installation until the master plan is completed together with construction phase scheduling. Prin- cipally this equipment includes a standard 9 ° x 30' standard swing set (4 swings) and a 6 ft. diameter merry-go-round assembly with mounted chairs. Additional equipment proposed for order as per the project master plan includes a 4 unit swing set and merry-go-round unit, each of which is designed to accommodate wheelchairs. Other items proposed for future placement cover a variety of outdoor exercise bars, posts, ladders etc. 3 7 B-6 LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS The establishment of shade trees together with a few conifers and small ornamental trees throughout the project area would ultimately produce a desirable park type environment. Sugar maples, Green ash, Honeylocust and Linden are excellent large tree varieties for this purpose. Small trees such as Flowering crabapples, Redbud, and Flowering plum work well in groups for screening and interest. Conifers in the form of White spruce, Fir, and Austrian pine provide all season interest along with contrast. The use of shrubs is not recommended due to the high degree on maintenance required. The propagation of a durable turf cover throughout the project area should not prove difficult due to the level well drained soil characteristic throughout the site.

ITEM #9 SPRINGFIELD OAKS GOLF COURSE STORAGE BUILDING Bids were received on August 23 for construction of the golf cart storage building at Springfield Oaks Golf Course. This structure will be equivalent to a pole barn and when completed will store the 55 carts at Springfield Oaks. The building size is 40' x 72' and approximately 14' to roof peak and will be metal with an asphalt shingle roof. The bids were as follows: 9' Door Alternate Base Bid Lapeer Coop. $356. $12,500. Vassar Building Center None 13,040. Pioneer Construction 750. 14,787. Dennis Hickman None 16,125. Wheaton Construction 616. 18,696. There was $11,000 approved in the 1983 Capital Improvement Budget for the project. Staff recommends awarding the contract to the low bidder, Lapeer Coop. for $12,500 and a 5% contingency for a total budget amount of $13,225. The $2,225 difference will come from the Capital Improvement contingency fund. 9-1 ITEM #10 INDEPENDENCE OAKS WETLANDS ACQUISITION The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission was recently notified of the denial by the Corps of Engineers and the Department of Natural Resources to the Edward C. Levy Company for a mining permit to extract gravel in the Independence Oaks proposed wetland acquisition area. This proposed acquisition would be made possible by a matching grant from the Kammer Land Trust Fund. Our application has received #2 priority and now awaits only final funding release from the State Legislature sometime in September. Once release of funds has occurred, agreements between the DNR and the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission can be initiated. Although several years have elapsed and many obstacles had to be over- come, it now appears that the timing is right for the Parks and Recreation Commission to begin the acquisition process. This process will probably occur over a considerable time frame; therefore, the matching funds can be designated from the 1984 Capital Budget. It is staff's recommendation that options be obtained on the designated parcels pending final fund release and agreement approvals. The requested funds from the Michigan Land Trust Fund was for $381,200, with $212,000 in local funds for a total of $593,200. See attached report. 10-1 WNSHIP OFFICES 3) 625-5111 nos B.

Eric Reickel, Manager �Q Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission 2800 Watkins Lake Road -- Pontiac, Michigan 48054 Dear Eric, Today, somewhat belatedly, we received the text of the DNR denial of the proposed Levy gravel operation in Independence Township. It seems to preclude effectively further action by Levy, and we are currently in negotiations on acquisition of portions of the property for the Township park expansion, etc. Personally, and on behalf of the citizens of Independence Township, I want to thank you most sincerely for the time, ef- fort and dedication on your part in bringing about the denials by both the Corps of Engineers and the Department of Natural Re- sources. Locally, the denials have significantly protected strategic areas at the heart of the Township, protection of which is es- sential to its future growth in accordance with long established planning and zoning actions. Equally important, your efforts have helped guarantee the present and future integrity of the Clinton River headwaters, the irreplaceable wetlands adjoining them, and the significant natur- al beauties and environment which will be preserved for thousands upon thousands of our present and future citizens with the Michi- gan Land Trust acquisition by the County and the linking of Inde- pendence Oaks and Clintonwood Parks for a permanent recreational area. All of us are aware of the hours of devoted volunteer effort you contributed in helping to achieve what many believed was the impossible -- the prevailing of dedicated citizen determination against overwhelming economic and political odds.. God bless you, and thank you again. Warmest regards-. Sincerely, 1 YJ4 7B�Smith JBS:rb Supervisor 10-2 IATU:iAL RESOURCES COMMISSION THOMAS J.

WHITELEY BOX 30028 (ANSING, MI 48909 August 17, 1983 In the matter of Permit Application No. 80-14-532 by Edward C. Levy Company, 9300 Dix Avenue, Deac t)=, Michigan 48120, for a permit pursuant to the Inland Lakes and Streams Act (1972, PA 346, as a=nded) to excavate approximately 15 million tons of top soil and sand ano gravel matertai from a 300 acre area, create a 200 acre lake and place approximately 3,580 cubic yards of material for' low head berms during a proposed aggregate. mining project adjacent to the Clinton River in S Independence Township, Oakland County, Michigan. _ FINDINGS OF FACT INTERPRETATION OF LAW CONCLUSIONS AND DETERMINATIONS DEPARTMENT ACTION The above entitled matter comes before the Department of Natural Resources by means of Permit Application No. 80-14-532 dated August 6, 1980, subject to the provisions of Sections 3(a), 3(b), 3(d), 3(e), 3(f) and 3(g) of the Inland Lakes and Streams Act (1972 PA 346, as amended), Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) of the Goemaere-Anderson Wetland Protection Act (1979 PA 203) and Section .5(b) of the Flood Plain Regulatory Authority Act (1929 PA 245, as amended by 1968, PA 167). The application seeks a Department of Natural Resources permit to excavate approximately 15 million tons of topsoil and aggregate material from a 300 acre area and form a 200 acre and 12 acre lake, construct -low head berms with_-- approximately 3,580 cubic yards of material placed in wetland areas. and across a stream, and construct four (4) grouted stone outlet structures with approximately 980 cubic yards of material. In addition, approximately 246,600- cubic yards of material will be placed in excavated wetland. areas within the mining boundary to re-establish a grade for shoreline stabilization, provide a base for berm construction and for development -of a 21 acre wetland area adjacent- -to the Clinton River. A processing plant -will be located in an upland area on the east side of the site adjacent to a proposed 22.5 acre non -development island. Representatives of the Department of Natural Resources have conducted investi- gations of the project site, and Department staff "specialists in several disciplines have assessed available information relevant to the permit application. A public hearing was held before Hearings Officer Bradford Wilkins, Lakes and Streams Protection Unit, Land Resource Programs Division, on January 28, 1981. A joint ze.- 10-4 stream which is capable of producing a vziri rty of sport and forage species. Aquatic and terrestrial wildlife species zni the site include ruffed grouse, pheasant, waterfowl, green heron, song ha Tds, deer, rabbit, fox squirrel, and raccoon. No endangered or threatened %xiJdlife or plant species have been Identified on the site. 5. The site is characterized by soils that are limmmy sands and mucks underlain by 40 to 80 feet of interbedded layers of saru i and gravel. The Oakland County Soil Survey describes five (5) different soK types in the area and indicates that the site presents severe limitations for sep•= tank absorption fields and severe limitations for building site development in tre lower areas. 6. The site is bordered along the east by Sasbxr;t:aw Road and along the southwest by Clarkston Road. I-75 is approximateLr;y 2 miles south of the site. An existing sand and gravel mining operation, cenists on Oak Hill Road, 1.5 mile north of the proposed site. Truck traffic w as increase on Sashabaw Road as a result of this proposed project. 7. The site adjoins two existing and actively parks. independence Oaks, an Oakland County Park, consists of 831. acn:� and is situated along the site's _ northern, border. Established in 1976, iiit offers year-round recreational activity. Clintonwood Park is operated '��y independence Township and is located on a 40 acre parcel at the soutlt�,xe!.st corner of the site. Opened in 1975, the park provides primarily non-winteir aictivities. S. The FIood Hazard Regulation Section, Water Management Division, Depart- ment of Natural Resources, has determiner'd that the 100 year flood elevation at this site is at 1030 U.S.G.S. datum. Estii�-nated elevation of the 50 year flood is approximately 1029.5 and the 10 year flood is approximately 1028.5 to I029. 9a. Independence Township first adopted a meter Land Use Plan in 1942. The proposed site was designated as being suitable for pasture, woodland and wildlife refuges. The current Master Land Use Plan, amended in 1975, designates the site as suburban and public,, .i-public, recreation. In 1971, a Recreation Plan developed by the TownshJ# Recreation Committee, recom- mended the Clinton River basin for prese-vpttion. A Wetlands Preservation .Ordinance was enacted by the Townships am -April 10, 1973. The current Township Wetlands and Watercourse Protec:iton Ordinance, adopted on July 1, 1980, requires a permit to deposit or remv ire '"ny material or structure in any watercourse or wetland. area. 9b. The Zoning Ordinance of Independence T%11)anship was adopted and became effective on January 18, 1975. The proposed site- is zoned Rural -Residential. Mineral mining is a special land use whit. requires specific authorization by the Township as a Conditionally Permit-n--s Use. Specific requirements, standards and procedures can be required by t&e Township. 10. The Department of Natural Resources has; =neceived considerable public input regarding the proposed project. The Departzraent held two public hearings, on January. 28, 1981, and March 23, 1983; ea�dh was attended by approximately 225 ' interested citizens. The Department. also received numerous written comments regarding the proposal followarfg the public . notices and public 3 .1 0-6 for the inistrative and .Issued e p,dcn Xisting not be Rule 4 of t ++alle trait Shall dedi• sires d a P t are en rc4 iri d .an trus arc` er e • c 19, 2 P P earn s aPcts� J� be do loll°� ing: t and the publi StCeajos kes andental ciiecrc�cnes all of °nmen Inland �nvir°n trcient de cts to t eXtent P°SSible� an the a�,css ',he dCpar e adyerset gated t° the Care resource O?fTNent is greater th u tai mal and .gill be e aliected is°t a op°sed o the T s°Urce• ., ,R,in hat the res°urc.

(d) Performance Bonds for reclamation. (e) Attenuation berms along Sashabaw -Road. (f) Contingency plan to provide potable water for effected adjacent wells. 4. The 22.5 acre non -development island and wetland areas west of the mining boundary contain regenerating stands of white cedar. The proposed project should not adversely effect these stands. 5. The proposed processing plant will be located above the 100 year floodplain elevation. The proposed low head berms and overburden stockpiles will be located on the Clinton River floodplain; but will not measurably increase the flood flows along the Clinton River. b. The low head berms are outside of what is estimated to be the Clinton River • floodway. Dense underbrush and trees between the berms and the river will minimize water flow velocities near the mining area and filter sediments. Erosion materials from the mining operation would not be expected to enter the Clinton River. 7. No adverse impacts are expected to occur to the regional groundwater aquifer system or to the flow of the Clinton River. The volume of water required to sustain the mining of gravel at this site has been determined as not significant enough to substantially diminish the water level in the aquifer or the flow of the Clinton River. 8. Independence Township has established over a long period, since 1942, its intention to preserve this area for public and recreational use through a Master Land Use Plan, Recreation Plan and Wetland Protection Ordinance. 9. The applicant has not submitted an application or received a permit from Independence Township, as required, under provisions of the Independence Township Wetlands and Watercourse Protection Ordinance. Further, the applicant has not received Township zoning approval for mineral mining as a Conditionally Permitted. Use. Significant concerns have been expressed'by the Township regarding the compatibility of this proposed project with adjacent land uses and its impact on the Sashabaw Road Corridor, and the impacts on adjacent property values. .10. The applicant has not demonstrated that "no feasible and prudent alternative exists. 11. -An Environmental Impact Statement is not required to be prepared due to the amount of data, information and analysis compiled by the Department which adequately addresses the concerns generated by the Township, County, resi- dents and citizens during the public hearings and public comment period. 10-10 7 EM #�1 FOR NPNpiCPppED p\SGQpN-� CARp ty Nand,Gap Sask T \ r un REGRGP om the Oakland GOevelop a d�scountnty, e f r to d Cou reation Comm ute ly 1n an effort dents 1n Oakland ks and The Rec been meeting month handicapped rest Sent t° the par o park s be for was uG on t Force ha`on Gard program ed after a letter fOr fee red tl Vecreat m`ttee was form ard`ng the need the Zhls Gom on reg ed page. d esreatlon COMM js e handicapped `s On the attach d CountY parks an R faG,l`t\es for th of the prOGedure that the Oatilan r appllcatlons• tune uestin9 cy or The ou `ttee is re4 the central agen,ss,On supp°rt thethat Recreat;On Como }ss`on act as that the Gomm recommended Retreat%on Gomm s rec°mmendln9 t ty parks• it ,s d car load °f llGy the staff �n the and Couo a Gard holder an Er,day -�hls p° discount card ` for free entry t Monday through for policy is made the day use partisans and buses the card holder h`s W111 vl als In coal v `on to sl e S ;ndi du �ved for commer Gent fee redact and water �d W�11 be wa a 50 per wave pool In add`tlon9 boat rental c`1`t,es including the golf cour5es faot be ►n effect a n POLICY STATEMENT FOR RECREATION DISCOUNT CARDS 1.

Last year, our tax rate was .2466 mill and we collected $3,520,798 based upon a SEV of $14,277,365,250. There are three tax law amendments that affect property taxes. They are the Headlee Amendment, Truth in Assessing, and Truth in Taxation. The Headlee Amendment formula deals with the Consumer Price Index along with the 1982 and 1983 SEV. This year, the Headlee formula produces a factor of 1.0951. This means we can collect the full 1/4 mill under the Headlee Amendment. Under the "Truth in Assessing",since the 1983 SEV and the County Equalized Value (CEV) is the same ($14,011,032,469), the factor therefore is 1.0, which means we can collect the full 1/4 mill under Truth in Assessing. Under "Truth in Taxation", which in general states that you cannot collect more taxes than you did in the previous year without a public hearing, the formula produces a factor of 1.0297. This factor of 1.0297 x .2466 (last year's rate) is .2539 which means we can collect the full .2500 rate. The full .2500 times the SEV of $14,oli,032,469 produces $3,502,758 tax dollars which is less than the taxes collected last year. Therefore, no public hearing is required under "Truth in Taxation" and the full 1/4 mill is allowable and permissible. In view of the above, and since revenues are needed for operating, developing and acquiring, staff recommends that our Commission recommend to the Board of Commissioners that the Parks and Recreation tax rate for 1983 be the full .2500 mill to be applied to the 1983 SEV of $14,011,032,469. 12-1 ACERB � R PCR� ob `1 e tp°rtabl e MAN 19$1 Wenger Sho�rOut�ne turn on ;th the a cadent occurred � side Wh�1e making but --NO n on Its ;per - a9ie� • • 1 tPped the f au1 t °{ the dr e Deng er st ust 22� 1983- that �t Was not the aX1es• �h Pug 1t Was determined ht dxf,erential on tigat�ng th`5 noW. ere Was a load we`g process of roves n nominated Pecm th orat`on i5 in the d Park Pssoclat`° rectors of the corp an Recreation an o the board of pI al Recreation and -the MIch�g representative t nch of the Nat`on teW`5 as ,tsBoard Mmembers Bra commission/ Park Pss°c%at'on. is 13-1
