REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CITY MANAGER FOR DISCUSSION

25. Consideration of the Jones Point Park Concept Plan Alternatives.

(A copy of the City Manager's memorandum dated June 22, 2005, is on file in the Office of the City Clerk and Clerk of Council, marked Exhibit No. 1 of Item No. 25; 6/28/05, and is incorporated as part of this record by reference.)

Mr. Blakeley, Deputy Director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Activities, along with Mr. Baier, Director of Transportation and Environmental Services, and Ms. Vosper, Landscape Architect Supervisor, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Activities, made a presentation of the staff report, noting field inventory, existing rectangular fields, existing baseball and softball fields as overlays, permitted open spaces, new field construction and baseball and softball fields that are not used in the overlay. The staff, along with the City Attorney, answered questions of Council on erosion, wetlands and water retention, use of fields by non-Alexandria athletic clubs, what the field requirements are now and for the next ten years, parking, authority to use the fields, how many people use the fields and the parks, the noise study, and air quality.

A MOTION WAS MADE by Councilman Krupicka, seconded by Councilman Gaines, to forward Plan A to the Federal Park Service, with the following five requests: 1. Staff is directed to do everything it can to receive mitigation and compensation for the lost parking from the original level in the 65 percent plan. 2. Staff is directed to prepare a letter for the Mayor to sign to ask all the elected officials at the state and federal level to actively advocate for reversal of the TSA policy related to parking under the bridge. 3. The City do everything it can to receive mitigation from VDOT and the Federal Highway Administration for the loss of wooded area that will come as a result of moving the parking. 4. It do everything it can to provide adequate and appropriate buffers for the community most impacted by the loss of the trees. 5. Council directs staff and the Park and Recreation Board to begin a process of creating a comprehensive athletic field needs assessment and utilization plan for our community.

AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION was made by Councilwoman Woodson that would add to this a requirement that this be brought back to Council if for any reason they are unable to provide the parking that is currently anticipated.

The amendment was accepted by the maker and seconder of the motion.

Mayor Euille asked for clarification on number three, the potential two acres of tree loss and if inclusive in the statement is if the City also has the authority or the ability to utilize those funds elsewhere.

Councilman Krupicka said that might be necessary to mitigate the tree cover and they need to let it be negotiated.

A SUBSTITUTE MOTION was made by Councilman Smedberg, seconded by Councilman Macdonald, that Council move forward to the National Park Service Scheme C, one regulation size field north of the bridge, which is one regulation field north of the bridge to cover the area which is primarily existing right now of the gravel parking lot and a natural youth field south of the bridge, to include the five conditions already on the floor, along with Councilwoman Woodson's amendment, and in addition, to add that any parking, the City consider, because of its location or a good part of it having to be located in wetlands, be all green.

AN AMENDMENT TO THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION was made by Vice Mayor Pepper, seconded by Councilman Macdonald, to just have the youth field south of the bridge, which is essentially the Yates Garden/Old Town Civic Association compromise plan.

The voting on the amendment to the substitute motion failed 3-4 and is as follows:

Pepper "aye" Gaines "no"
Macdonald "aye" Krupicka "no"
Euille "aye" Smedberg "no"
Woodson "no"

In response to a comment from Councilman Macdonald regarding devising a scheme to allow boaters, kayakers and canoeist to trailer their boats down to the waterfront and get to the river, Councilman Krupicka said he left that off his list inadvertently. When it looks at mitigation and compensation from VDOT and the Federal Highway Administration for losses suffered as a result of these changes, one of those losses is easy and convenient access to the waterfront for boat launching, for fisherman, and the City should be pursuing mitigation for that as well. He asked that it be added to the list of things the City seek compensation and mitigation for.

The voting on the substitute motion for option C was as follows:

Smedberg "aye" Pepper "aye"
Macdonald "aye" Gaines "no"
Euille "no" Krupicka "no"
Woodson "no"

AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION was made by Councilman Smedberg, which was accepted by both the Councilman Krupicka and Councilman Gaines, as the maker and seconder of the original motion, to include a 7th addition for the requirement of green parking.

The motion, as amended, reads as follows:

City Council moved to send recommendation A to the Federal Park Service, with the following comments and directions: 1. Staff is directed to do everything it can to receive mitigation and compensation for the lost parking from the original level in the 65 percent plan. 2. Staff is directed to prepare a letter for the Mayor to sign to ask all the elected officials at the State and Federal level to actively advocate for reversal of the TSA policy related to parking under the bridge. 3. The City should do everything it can to receive mitigation from VDOT and the Federal Highway Administration for the loss of wooded area that will come as a result of moving the parking, and it do everything it can to provide adequate and appropriate buffers for the community most impacted by the loss of the trees. 4. Council directs staff and the Park and Recreation Board to begin a process of creating a comprehensive athletic field needs assessment and utilization plan for our community. 5. This item should be brought back to Council if for any reason the anticipated parking cannot be provided. 6. Staff is directed to pursue mitigation from VDOT and the Federal Highway Administration and/or find an acceptable resolution to the lost waterfront for boat launching and for fishermen; and 7. Council asks that environmentally sustainable technologies and approaches be used for the parking that will be developed.

The voting was as follows:

Krupicka "aye" Pepper "no"
Gaines "aye" Macdonald abstain
Euille "aye" Smedberg "aye"
Woodson "aye"

Housing Director Davis made a presentation of the staff report and answered questions of Council.

Ms. Rosanna Montequin, development director for Wesley Housing Development Corporation, responded to questions of Council concerning the project viability, the renovations, adjustments to the plan, and potential deferral of the item and the timing of the loan.

A MOTION WAS MADE by Councilman Macdonald, seconded by Councilman Gaines, to approve a loan of up to $1,500,000 from the Housing Opportunities Fund to the Wesley Housing Development Corporation for the acquisition of the Beverly Park Apartments, with the following conditions: (a) the loan will be interest-only, with the initial interest payment deferred for a period of seven to 11 years (depending on which of two proposed development options is implemented), and with principal to be repaid on a residual receipts basis; (b) this funding shall be made contingent on WHDC's ability to secure adequate bridge financing from other sources for the remainder of the acquisition cost; (c) the first $300,000 of the loan shall be repaid upon WHDC's receipt of permanent financing for the project; (d) the property shall remain affordable to households at or below 60% of median income for as long as WHDC owns the property, but in no event less than 20 years; (e) WHDC shall develop, to the satisfaction of the Office of Housing, a plan for phasing in rent increases over time to minimize the effect on current tenants; and (f) in the event WHDC elects to sell the property, WHDC shall offer the right of first refusal to the City or its designee.

A SUBSTITUTE MOTION WAS MADE by Councilman Krupicka, seconded by Councilman Smedberg, to defer this item until September. The motion failed 1-6 and is as follows:

Krupicka "aye" Pepper "no"
Smedberg "no" Gaines "no"
Euille "no" Macdonald "no"
Woodson "no"

The voting on the original motion was as follows:
