To: Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners From: Steve L. Little, Director Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Department In meetings on November 30 and December 13, 1995, the Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed six athletic fields complex options. The Athletic Complex options included the following: W.W. Flowe (Phase I) - 6 fields, W.W. Flowe (Phase II) - 3 fields, Frank Liske Park - 4 fields, Wolf Meadow - 4 fields, Frank Liske Park Phase I (4 fields - 1 field renovation), and Frank Liske Park Phase II (4 fields). The Park Commission also reviewed and approved a revision in the W.W. Flowe Master Park Plan - changing two adults softball fields to three regulation soccer fields. These revisions in the original Master Plan have been submitted to the Personal Trust Division of First Union National Bank and Mr. & Mrs. Harry Brown for their review and consideration. This 53.276 acres is owned and/controlled by the W.W. Flowe Estate. The proposed plans are to utilize Cabarrus County Landfill equipment and employees in the ground clearing, rough grading and fine grading of these proposed athletic facilities. By utilizing Cabarms County equipment and manpower, Cabarrus County will save over $150,000 to $200,000 per project. Contract Construction cost will be required for the following: Professional Design, Civil Engineering, limited survey staking, contract construction for riser basin, filter basin, storm drainage elements, steel grates, and irrigation systems. On December 13th, the Cabarms County Parks and Recreation Commission recommended to construct in priority Frank Liske Park (Phase I), W.W. Flowe (Phase I), and Frank Liske Park (Phase II). The Park Commission also requested for the Cabarms County Board of Commissioners to fund the professional Design and Civil Engineering Services for Frank Liske Park, Phase I ($12,144.00) and W.W. Flowe Park Phase I ($14,294.00) for a total of $26,438.00. Youth Soccer Officials will seek private funding sources to construct the Frank Liske Park Soccer Complex (Phase I). The following pages outline the total project costs and elements of each project.
