DAILY TIMES Tuesday. January 20, 1987 Panel Urges Upgrading Carver Park Board Reaffirms Support For Parkland Plan By GARRY CHANDLER Times Staff Writer The city's parks board Monday recommended upgrading playing fields at Carver Park to reduce summertime schedule conflicts for the Kerrville's overburdened softball fields. The parks board also reaffirmed its support for a proposed increase in the city's parkland dedication ordinance that is being refined by city staff. A recommendation to apply softball league player-use fees to improve a playing field at Carver Park on Webster Street was approved unanimously at the Kerrville Parks and Recreation Board's regular meeting Monday. The Carver Park Field is needed as an additional game site for the city's more than 65 softball teams, said City Parks Director Dennis Kneese.

City softball teams now compete for playing space at three softball fields at Singing Winds Park, he said. The board proposes to use part of the $5-per-person, player -use fee to level the Carver Park field, to add top soil and to plant grass. Kneese estimated the upgrading probably will cost less than $2,000. "We have some choices," he said. "We could go to scheduling four games a night instead of three, we could start playing games on Friday night, or we can upgrade the Carver Park field.

Upgrading the field seems like the best thing to Board members re-affirmed support for a plan to increase city parkland acquisition fees to de. velopers from the present $50 per residence to $389. The increase is based on a city staff formula that assumes an average Kerrville population density of 2.4 persons per household and an average land cost of $32,670 per acre. The $389 per-unit figure represents half the amount needed to bring Kerrville in line with the average national parkland ratio of one acre to 100 persons, according to city calculations. culations.

The board endorsed the fee increase in November, but it was rejected later by the city's planning and zoning commission. Commission members questioned the average land cost figures used in the city formula and said the proposal was poorly timed. Obituaries es Miss Otha Albe Services for Miss Otha Albe, Kerrville.

The $32,000 peracre land cost used in the formula is being re-examined, he said. A previous, one-acre minimum dedication requirement and a restriction giving the city right of refusal for any parkland donation smaller than five acres also is being reconsidered, Kneese said.

Dropping the one-acre minimum would allow land donations instead of cash for smaller developments and make the dedication proposal less objectionable to some developers, he added. "We still need the right of refusal so we don't get an eight-byten-foot square of ground by the fence or something. But there are places where a quarter -acre lot would make a nice park for a subdivision, and we're looking at that," Kneese said. Vetter said today that the parkland dedication plan probably can be reworked to take some of the sting out for developers.
