5. Consider and act upon the proposed conveyance of parkland to fulfill the Town's park
dedication requirements for Brook Hollow.
Naughton presented background of the property. Naughton presented the Brookhollow Park Exhibit. He
stated the parkland dedication requirement for PD -39 is not stipulated in the Planned Development
ordinance and falls back to the Town's Subdivision ordinance, which requires dedication of one (1) acre
of public parkland for every thirty-five (35) residential units, or in an amount proportionately equal to five
percent (5%) of the total acreage, whichever is greater. The preliminary plat shows 277 single family
residential lots. Using the calculation stated above, the parkland generated by the development is 7.9 acres
which meets the Town's requirement. The Town's Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan shows
Town Lake to be incorporated into the Park system, which the parkland dedicated here would provide a
large area of the lake currently not owned by the Town.
