C. 28025 Dear Mr. McGinnis: Meeting in regular session on March 26, 1981, the Cabarrns County Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission acted on several items as recommendations to you and the Cabarrus Board ~f County Commissioners. Therefore, I present to you the following recommendations from the Commission. e Commission approved a Revise~ Masge_r S~i~e ~jan for Stonewall Park. as presented_b~ La~ Best and Brad Davis ~f~and Design. The major r~visions from the original Master Site Plan included a re- ~>-~design of th~ road and parking lot syst~ms~ relocation of the toilet ,~5,~z~cRnteen at the lake area, reloqation of the maintenance center, re- /location of the caretakerm residence, relocation of the public garden plots, and relocation of the fitness Jogging trail. In addition, several feet of gravel and concrete walks are proposed primarily around the swimming pool and barn areas. Attached you will find preliminary cost estimates for Phase I construction of Stonewall Jackson Park based on the Revised Master Site Plan as prepared by Land Design. The cost estimates include facilities as outlined for Phase I construction to the Cabarrus Board of County Commissioners in December 1979 in addition to several items such as a maintenance center, lighting of two ballfields and a ticket booth for the lake paddle boat operations. The cost estimates for the mdditional fa- cilities were requested by the Parks and Recreation Commission because it was felt that these additional facilities are essential to the park- operation and would be desirable to be constructed~as a portion of the Phase I construction contracts. The Parks and Recreation Commission approved unanimously all of the items outlined on the construction cost estimate proposal and instructed Land Design to prepare construction phase options that w6uld suit the County's fiscal restraints over the next several fiscal years. In ad- dition, the Commission Acknowledged that they would organize a fund raising campaign to seek private sector funds to reduce the County's share of the p¢oJect and would exercise considerable effort to have these funds available by no later than the Spring of 1982.
