Ball llfields Proposal • The proposed ballfields at Bradford North are one possible piece of the settlement • KCRMD has not entered into any agreements with anyone regarding the proposed fields • Construction is not imminent • Parties are exploring the viability of the concept KCRMD will not go forward with this proposal if there is not community support
What is is Bein ing Proposed? • Construct two multi-purpose grass sports fields • “soccer fields” for short • Improve existing baseball field to game-worthy condition • No lights, bleachers, restrooms, or snack bar • Benefits Bradford PE and athletic programs, and the KC community by providing more opportunity for organized sports (youth or adult)
What is Being Proposed? (con’t) • PMD would finance the construction • Jeffco Schools would supply the land • Presumably, Jeffco Schools will keep title to the land • KCRMD would be allowed to use/schedule the fields during non-school hours via a long term contract called an Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) • KCRMD is not interested in pursuing this if the fields can not be scheduled to some extent .
Ballfields Proposal – Work Done to Date • Meetings between various combinations of PMD, KCRMD, and JPS representatives to gauge interest in the concept and outline preliminary steps • Site Research (Funded by PMD) • Topographic Land Survey • Defines surface contours and features of the area • Soil studies • Soil type(s) • Bedrock location • Preliminary Site Plans (Funded by PMD)
What’s a Site Plan? • A Site Plan is a concept with research and thought behind it • Shows what is proposed to be built • Not how to build it • A Site Plan is not a blueprint for construction Next phase in the construction process would be Detailed Design, which would yield Construction Documents (aka “blueprints”). Detailed Design has not begun.
