GOALS & OBJECTIVES Goals of the Kerr County Five Year Master Plan • Increase recreation opportunities for citizens of Kerr County along the Guadalupe River, especially minorities, the youth and retired residents. • Acquire new park lands for the development of new recreation facilities. • Utilize existing park and county owned lands to increase the amount of recreation area available to the public. • Renovate or improve existing recreation facilities. . • Seek resources from all available sources. • Provide safe and clean areas for public recreation. • Determine the local needs, in order of priority, for recreation facilities. • Inventory the available recreation facilities. • To maintain a county park and recreation advisory/planning committee with broad county representation, which will serve to identify citizen needs and explore creative and resourceful partnership driven responses to the needs. Objectives of the Kerr County Five Year Master Plan ~*- Survey the recreation needs of Kerr County citizens and prioritize them. • Inventory existing recreation lands and facilities and determine their suitability for providing future recreation opportunities. • Identify available lands that may be purchased by the County or donated to it for the purpose of providing recreation and open space. • Acquire all suitable properties and designate an appropriate amount of property that is to remain as open space. • Develop site plans and construction schedules for constructing priority need recreation facilities on existing properties and those to be acquired. • Develop needed recreation facilities that are located next to key population centers. • Solicit public input and comment throughout the development of park plans. • Identify recreation development resources (cash, in-kind contributions) available from the following sources: • Texas Parks & Wildlife Department Grants • County and City • LCRA • Local and Civic Minded Individuals • Chamber of Commerce • Lions Club, Civic Groups • Local Businesses • Develop a schedule for the implementation of recreation projects • Revise and update master plan to be amended on an annual basis. • Provide recreation facilities to low income groups. r r Kerr County Parks & Recreatdon Master Plan 1996 - 2001 _- _ 13 ~e~:: ';~.;~&w9 +.r...:.aF ~. .~ a «i~~.aA "s:r 'M` ; o9i4i•'r- , ~ ke e. t~; - .Yet 14: tr:e ...m..,..~...s,sWr..,.-a.....sera+ie«r~..sI1E` .,. ~ -. . r PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS i r 1 1 1 i r In 1996, the County Commissioners of Kerr County responded to the requests of local citizens to address public recreation needs. An 8 member County Parks Committee was formed with the goal of identifying the current status of available county recreation facilities, establish the recreation priorities of county residents, and the available recreation, land, natural, economic and cultural resources available to provide for these needs. In order to accomplish this, the Committee determined that it would be necessary to hire a planning consultant and survey Kerr County citizens to determine recreation priorities and prepare a master plan for county parks and recreation goals through the year 2001. Proposals were requested and the firm of Frontera Associates International, Inc. was selected. A master plan document would be drafted and submitted to the County Commissioners for adoption. This master plan effort, in addition to surveying residents, would include an inventory of existing recreation facilities and a plan to meet the needs identified in the survey. It would then be the Park Committee's task to determine ways to fund improvement projects, including the solicitation of partners to aid in achieving these objectives. These partners could include other government entities such as the Upper Guadalupe River Authority (UGRA) as well as the Chamber of Commerce, various local civic groups, the Lion's Club, utility companies and local businesses. Once the resources available were identified, the Park Committee would develop a set of priorities for implementing the master plan and set about with the accomplishment of these objectives. The master plan would then be revised and updated every five years to ensure that citizens needs continued to be identified and met. Data Collected for Master Plan 1. County/Community and Regional Characteristics 2. Inventory/Assessment of Park and Recreation Opportunities in Kerr County ~ . 3. Citizen Needs Assessment Surveys 4. Site Characteristics & Site Area Maps Kerr County Parks & Recreation Master Plan 1996 - 2001 19 METHOD OF PRIORITIZATION OF FACILITIES TO BE DEVELOPED In order to determine the priority of recreation facilities to be improved or developed, the consultant has reviewed the recreation survey data for Kerr County for guidance. Citizens were given a list of recreation facilities and asked to arrange them in order of priority according to their own priorities and those of their family. The results are displayed later in this material. The demand based results were then compared to the recreation facilities that are currently in existence in the County. The result is a list of recreation facilities/opportunities in order of priority. Citizen Input In addition to the recreation survey conducted, citizens are represented by the Kerr County Park Committee which will guide park initiatives through monthly meetings. Funding Availability and Partnership The County is seeking funding for park projects both internally and externally. While internal financial contributions are limited due to the nature of the tax-base, extensive in-kind support is available. External sources of funding sought include UGRA and Texas Parks & Wildlife. Other sources of external funding include private foundations and private donations of land and in-kind work. Funding sources will be confirmed prior to the County's application for any Texas Parks & Wildlife grants applied for. Strong partnership agreements will be necessary for the park developments planned to succeed. With limited county resources, Kerr County will be teaming up with other government and private organizations to pool resources. This will be the key to the success of this initiative. Economic Benefits Kerr County is continuing to grow as a tourism destination both statewide and nationally. The addition of public recreation facilities will further enhance and increase the quality of the visitor's experience and subsequently increase the number of visitors annually. Capitalizing on Opportunities ~ An important factor in determining the priority and timing of the development of a park development project will be the availability of land and funding necessary to initiate such a project. The County will concentrate on securing such contributions in its efforts to implement park projects.

The goal of this Master Plan is to provide recreational opportunities for all citizens of Kerr County, but expressly the youth and the retired. 1. National Recreation and Park Assessment Park Recreation and Open ,mace Guidelines was used as a basis for analysis of the existing facilities. We recommend the County adopt the classifications standards similar to those noted below. • Suggested Standards for Recreattion Areas a. Provide one acre of park and recreation space for each 100 population b. One-half of a county's total park and recreation area should be for active recreation and the other half for large parks. c. One-quarter of a mile should be the maximum service distance for a neighborhood playground in the average population area. Note: there is not uniform agreement about area standards. There is uniform agreement about specific space standards for indoor and outdoor facilities, with the exception of swimming and golf. In swimming, the trend is toward construction of neighborhood pools instead of community pools. • Su~tsested Park Classi cations The following standards are offered as planning guides for wherever they apply: Neighborhood play lot -minimum usable size is 2,500 sq. ft. Neighborhood park-playground -part of the elementary school grounds which should be between 10 and 15 acres with service area of one- quarter mile for high density development. Such site area will serve a population of 2,000 to 5,000. This size area can include an outdoor pool, athletic field, game areas, off-street parking, landscaping, and buffer strips for safety and appearance. When it is combined with the school site, a separate shelter building is not needed. Community park - in size, 15 to 40 acres to serve a group of neighborhoods having a total population between 15,000 and 35,000. (In large cities, 75,000 population might be served.) The service radius is one-half to one mile or one-and-one-half miles in large cities. Kerr County Parks & Recreation Master Plan 1996 - 2001 16 ~ a -:~. __ ~ _ - - - _._-_.__ ..~ The facilities may include an athletic field, children's playground, tennis courts, open game area (turf or hard surface), indoor or outdoor pool, and a recreation building of at least 25,000 sq. ft. -- if the area is not combined with a school building. It should also include parking area, landscaping and buffer strips. Regional park -the average regional or district park within cities of 250,000 population may range from 100 to 500 acres. Its facilities, in addition to those included in a community park, will include water areas, picnic areas, scenic drives, and other outdoor recreation facilities. Major park -each community with a population of 40,000 or more needs a minimum of 100 acres for city-wide park and recreation use in addition to other neighborhood facilities. The major park would include facilities for active and passive recreation plus family and city- wide events. Reservation -the acreage would be anywhere from 500 acres up, within a radius of 10 to 15 miles of the city. As much area as possible should remain in its natural state. Drives, roadside picnic and camping areas make up the facilities, plus boating and swimming if water areas are available. • Suggested Standards for Park and Recreation Activities Camping -from 20 to 30 acres is minimum; for 100 to 125 campers about 200 acres are needed. Swimming Pool -the facilities should serve 3 percent of the population at a given time and allowance should be made for 12 sq. ft. per swimmer. The space for pool and bathhouse takes one to three acres depending on design. For parking, more space must be added. A neighborhood pool is smaller and only a limited building for clothes- changing need be provided. Golf -from 125 to 160 acres is required for an 18-hole golf course. There are 45 golfers per 1000 population. Nine holes will serve a population of 25,000. Recreation Building -one to three acres suggested to serve needs of 20,000 people in an average community. Within a school or recreation building, 4,000 sq. ft. are needed for social activities; amulti-purpose room takes 3,000 sq. ft.; a game room, 3,000 sq. ft.; crafts and hobbies, 3,000 to 4,000 sq. ft.; a kitchen, at least 300 sq. ft.; teenage activities, 2,000 to 3,000 sq. ft. For storage 3 to 5 percent of the total floor area is desirable. Kerr County Parks & Recreation Master Plan 1996 - 2001 17 ~, t Municipal Stadium - on an average, five to 20 acres with a 10,000 to 20,000 seating capacity. Tennis Courts -one court for every 2,000 population. A hard surface is recommended. Baseball -one diamond for every 6,000 population. ^ Softball -one diamond for very 3,000 population. t Shelter House - at a neighborhood playground without a school building, a minimum of 1,500 sq. ft. to 3,000 sq. ft. of floor area is required. Off-Street Parking - 400 sq. ft. per car; four people to a car. 2. Frontera Associates Citizen NeedG Assessment ~ urveyj The Citizens Needs Assessment Survey made a major contribution to the assessment of park and recreation needs in Kerr County. A random sample telephone survey and personal interviews were conducted by the Frontera team to determine current participation rates, citizen perceptions of the condition of existing facilities, and future facility needs. The survey produced 73 responses. These two resources provided the primary basis for the recommendations in this Master Plan. It is important to recognize that the needs assessment is Countywide, therefore priority needs will be specified on a Countywide basis instead of community by community. Kerr County is predominantly rural, with 52% of the population living outside of the County's largest city, Kerrville, but the only two other cities are less than 20 miles from Kerrville. Kerr County Parks & Recreateon Master Plan 1996 - ?001 18 i i INVENTORY OF EXISTING FACILITIES This section discusses the availability and conditions of recreational facilities in Kerr County. This section starts with an examination of the County as a whole and this includes the three major cities within the County: (1) Kerrville, (2) Center Point, and (3) Ingram. The local school facilities were also evaluated. The ratings of conditions are as follows: excellent (well maintained, no more improvements needed), g obi (well maintained, but some minor improvements needed), and poor (not maintained, needs major improvements). These ratings were given by Frontera staff who inspected the facilities. Kerr County's recreational resources are plentiful. The Guadalupe River is available for a wide range of recreational uses. The county also has a number of parks and sports facilities available to them. The most populated town located in Kerr County is Kerrville. Most County residents travel to Kerrville for their recreational needs. The outdoor recreational facilities comprise over 230 acres of park land. A sample of the survey information and the surveys of each existing facility are in the Appendix.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND PRIORITIZATION The Kerr County Master Plan for Parks & Recreation utilizes two of the recreation need approaches, including demand-based and standard-based. Demand-based approach The County of Kerr conducted a survey of its citizens requesting that they list and prioritize the recreation facility needs of their families given the present level of recreation service. These priorities were tabulated and the results are presented below. Standard-based approach This approach was used in two ways. The number of recreation facilities that should be developed for Kerr County is presented in the previous section under facility standards. These guidelines were established by recreation planners using the National Recreation and Parks Society, Recreation Park and Open Space Standards and Guidelines. Plan implementation Recommendations Recommendation 1 -Because land owed by the County has a great potential because it is on the Guadalupe River, we recommend this land be developed to the standard of Louise Hays or Guadalupe Park. Develop proposed Flat Rock Lake Park and provide top priority facilities -such as hike and bike trails, pavilion (large), swimming, playgrounds, soccer fields, etc. Recommendation 2 -Because of the proximity of the most used parks - Guadalupe and Louise Hays, we recommend the hike and bike trails be used to tie these two parks together with the proposed Flat Rock Lake Park. Cooperation would have to be obtained from the City of Kerrville and the County. Develop "Tri-Park" hike and bike trails to tie Flat Rock Lake Park to Louise Hays and finally to Guadalupe Park, approximately 5 - 8 miles. Recommendation 3 -Update recreation survey and update Master Plan. Kerr County Parks & Recreation Master Plan 1996 - 2001 28 In addition to the evidence this data provided for establishing priorities for the County, several additional factors were considered: • The inventory and inspection of existing facilities revealed a need for improved maintenance and amenities at existing County parks. ~'~ Swimming areas along the Guadalupe River at Guadalupe & Louise Hays Parks are a major asset for the individual parks. • Distribution of recreation opportunities are primarily concentrated in the City of Kerrville. There is a need to consider opportunities in the smaller communities. • The majority of the County population is considered rural, but they are at most only 20 miles from the City of Kerrville. `~ • Many of the citizens felt recreation opportunities for children are average or below. -- Organized youth activities (basketball and football) are noticeably above the state norm. This might indicate a higher than normal propensity for youth involvement in organized activities, regardless of the specific activity. • Approximately one out of four citizens in the County are 65 and over which is twice the state ratio. Of the activities noted in the survey, hike and bike trails, fishing, golf, swimming and boating would be the activities most used by the elderly. Our priorities should reflect this sector of the population. • Tourism is becoming increasingly popular and the natural resource base of the County will provide the basis for commercial and public exploitation of this trend. • The Guadalupe River is a major asset for nature tourism. The rich historic and cultural heritage of the County is a strength that should be considered in future initiatives to attract tourists. • The location of the County on the Interstate 10 Corridor provides the opportunity for an increase in population. The economic growth in the service sector is evidence of the impact of tourism and the influence of the wealthy retirement community.
