INTRODUCTION Recreation is a fundamental need, essential to the well being of all people. We have the responsibility for providing every population group in the community with a variety of opportunities designed to meet their needs. Provision of adequate recreational programs is vitally important to the . overall growth and development of the City. With the rapid increase in population of Edgewater in the last decade, the demand for greater recreational facilities and the need to protect valuable open space resources are important issues. The City of Edgewater, along with other governmental agencies, shares in the responsibility of providing these opportunities and protecting these resources. This Element of the Comprehensive Plan assesses current opportunities, analyzes future needs, and contains goal, objective, and policy statements, which shall be used by Edgewater to further the system of public and private recreation and open space sites available to the public. B. RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE DATA AND INVENTORY This section will describe existing recreational facilities and park land acreage and assess their adequacy. 1. Existing Recreation Facilities The City of Edgewater currendy operates 32 park facilities within the City limits. An inventory of existing publicly owned recreation sites and facilities in Edgewater is provided in Table VII- 1. Map VII- 1 illustrates the locations of the publicly owned facilities. These facilities are divided into three different categories, depending on their purpose. Each category is described in detail below. a. R f"c;()mTf"-R~c;prl F~rilitipc; Resource-based activities are defined as sites and facilities centered around natural resources, such as picnicking, hiking, swimming, and fishing. Edgewater is bounded on the east by the Indian River which provides a variety of saltwater water sports; shellfishing, clamming, etc. The river and its associated wedands provide recreation in a beautiful, natural environment. b. Artiv;t;T-R~c;prl F~r;litipc; Activity-based sites and facilities are those which include the user 1n direct participation, such as tennis, football, racquetball, baseball, bicycling, etc. VII-l CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT c. P::l ssivp R prrp::lhnn A rhvihps Recreation facilities and parks in the City of Edgewater afford recreation users with both passive and active recreation opportunities. Passive recreation activities are pursued in a more leisurely fashion and may take the form of nature walks, fishing or picnicking. 2. County Facilities No recreation facilities owned or operated by V olusia County are located within the City of Edgewater. However, V olusia County_does operate a number of park facilities within the City of New Smyrna Beach, several of which are within 5 miles of Edgewater. Additionally, Volusia County operates two regional parks, Smyrna Dunes Park (255 acres), located in New Smyrna Beach and Gemini Springs Park (210 acres), and located in Deleon Springs. Both of these parks are primarily nature parks with limited active recreation facilities but due to their size, they can be considered regional parks within a 60-mile radius of Edgewater. 3. School Facilities The V olusia County School Board operates Edgewater Elementary and Indian River Elementary School within the City of Edgewater. Edgewater Elementary currently houses three (3) baseball fields that are operated and maintained by the City. These fields will be converted into a soccer complex once new baseball fields are constructed at Hawks Park. In 1996, the School Board entered into an agreement with the City of Edgewater to allow for joint use of the recreational facilities located on Indian River Elementary School property. These facilities include outdoor basketball courts, a multi-purpose open area and a soccer field. According to the agreement, the City is allowed use of these facilities during non- school hours in exchange for providing maintenance and some facility improvements. In addition, 4. The Private Sector While the City of Edgewater strives to provide residents and tourists with abundant recreational opportunities, the private sector also provides recreational opportunities. A, swimming pool, health club, tennis courts, and other facilities are privately owned and an important contribution to the City. Private recreation facilities are listed in Table VII- 2. 5. Park Site Guidelines a. Mini- P~rk-/Pbyg:rnllnrl Equipped play area with benches and open space, landscaping and picnic tables. The recommended minimum size of a mini-park is between 1/4 to 1/2 acre. Mini-parks serve a population between 500 and 1,000 people and have a geographic service area of approximately 6 blocks. When determining the location of new mini-parks, the City should consider any potential negative impacts on the adjacent properties; such VII-2 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT as, lighting, litter and noise. Adequate buffering and site design standards that can reduce noise, trash and light pollution should be incorporated into each park. b. Npig}1hnrhnnc1 P~rk A typical park setting contains free play area, tables, grills, playground equipment, paved courts, etc. This type of park is designed to serve the needs of one or two neighborhoods with a service radius of about3 /4 mile; serving a population of 2,000. The minimum acreage required for a neighborhood park is 2 acres. Due to the availability of property and existing development patterns, it may not be possible to achieve the minimum recommended acreage and service areas in all areas of Edgewater. c. rnmmllnity P~rk A Community park serves an entire community due to its resources or special facilities, such as location, not found in other areas. Community parks also provide facilities generally found in the neighborhood parks and mini-parks. The service radius for a community park is generally three miles and serves a population of about 8,000 people. The suggested minimum size of new community parks should be approximately 5 acres. However, new community parks could be less than five acres in size and still adequately function as a community park facility. d. Rpgjnn~l P~rk This type of park is designed to serve an area with a service radius of about 60 miles; serving a multi-county region. The suggested minimum acreage for a regional park should be approximately 250 acres. However, a regional park could be less than 250 acres in size and still adequately function as a regional park facility. 6. Existing Open Space In addition to the recreation sites and facilities, an inventory of open space must be undertaken. Open space in this plan is defined as undeveloped land suitable for passive recreation and for conservation uses. Examples of open space areas in Edgewater include small lakes and borrow pits used for stormwater control; unimproved street right-of-way easements east of Riverside Drive and an old landfill site not suitable for development. An inventory of Edgewater's open space parks is provided in Table VII- 3. The Locations of open space parks are shown on Map VII-3. As park lands are acquired and developed, the natural areas are considered in the overall site plan. These natural areas serve as buffers and . wildlife habitat and contribute to the aesthetic enjoyment of the site. Different forms of open space are classified by their functions as follows: VII-3 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT a. P:lstnr:ll OpPll Sp:lrp Open space land preserved for the management, protection, and prudent use of natural resources present on that land. Resource-based recreation may be allowed if compatible with the site. b. TTtilit:lr1:l11 OpPl1 Sp:lrp Open space land reserved from intense development due primarily to public safety constraints such as being prone to flooding, sinkhole formation, or having contaminated soil, etc. c. rnrric1nr OpPl1 Sr:lrp The land preserved as open space that runs along a right-of-way or any long linear open space through which people traveL d. Mlllti-T T"p OpPl1 Sp:lrp Often times open spaces perform a variety of functions. Multiple uses of open space areas are not always inadvisable. Compatible multiple uses can occur and should be encouraged in the future. The advantageous key to the multiple use of open space is to ensure that secondary uses are compatible with the primary use or function of the open space. Some open spaces inventoried serve more than one function. Map VII - 3 shows the location of Edgewater's existing open space parks. Within the City limits, open space parks generally consist of small tracts of land, due to availability. C. RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ANALYSIS 1. Population Impact The open space and recreation needs for Edgewater is based upon its current and projected population estimates. These needs are determined by the difference between existing facilities and the population's increased need for recreation and open space. Based on the population estimates provided within the Future Land Use Element of this Plan, Edgewater's population is expected to increase from a 2000 population of 18,865 to an estimated population of 22,865 by 2005 and an estimated population of 26,398 in 2010. Projected surpluses and/or deficiencies are described in detail later in this element. 2. Recreational Survey The policy plan and the plaUning process must be directed to and include the citizen. Public involvement should playa strong role in recreational planning. Periodic analysis should be made of park and recreation preferences, needs and trends to project the necessary space and facility requirements. A summary of public input was evaluated in February 1988, through a recreational survey promoted by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the VII -4 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT Parks and Recreation Department. A subsequent survey has not been completed since 1988. In order to detennine if the City is best meeting the needs of its citizens, the City shall conduct another survey by July of 2003. After the City has compiled the information from this updated survey, the City shall consider completing a parks master plan. This master plan will enable the City to analyze and plan for future parks and recreation needs, including the necessary funding tools to implement the master plan. 3. Recreation and Open Space Standards Standards playa major role in recreational planning. These are numerical approximations of the number of recreational sites and facilities required to meet the needs of the population. . Recreation standards for the City of Edgewater are described below and are presented for both parks and recreational facilities. a. ...E.arks. The City of Edgewater currently has an adopted level of service standard for park land of 5 acres per 1,000 population. The City has also adopted individual level of service s~dards for neighborhood and community parks and for open space. The classification of park land into different categories is difficult since many parks meet the criteria for several different categories. For that purpose, the City will continue to use the adopted level of service for overall park land, but will start using a combined standard for community and neighborhood parks and a level of service based on service area for mini-parks. The City recognizes that setting a combined level of service standard may cause certain deficient areas to be overlooked. Therefore, the City has also established minimum distance guidelines for community and neighborhood park service areas. This standard will help identify the general areas where new community and neighborhood parks need to be established. Table VII- 4 shows the level of service standard for parks and indicates current surpluses or deficiencies. The table also contains standards for park size, location and population. b. R prrp~ti()n~ 1 F~r;l;tip" Recreational level of service standards were developed to assist park planners in creating a measurable system of determining when additional facilities are needed to keep pace with public demand. The City adopted recreational facility standards based upon the National Parks, RecreatiOri\and Open Space Standards developed by the National Recreation and Park Association and modified for the City of Edgewater. These standards and any surpluses or deficiencies are presented in Table VII- 5. A new standard for bicycle/pedestrian trails was created to help plan for future trail Improvements. VII-5 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT c. orp11 Sr~rp Open space areas in the midst of developed urban settings help define urban form and are a basic element to good land use patterns. The provision of open space in such instances breaks up the harsh "streetscape" and offers aesthetic relief to the urban resident. Open space in non-residential settings is a factor in the overall attractiveness of the community as a whole and often makes the difference in attracting new businesses and residents to the community. The Land Development Code shall include standards ensuring the reservation of open space areas in future developments. The City of Edgewater currently has 73.94 acres of designated open space and each open space is listed in Table VII- 3. 4. Future Parks and Recreation Facilities The best way to provide for future population in the City of Edgewater is through the development of new parks. Community parks will be developed in two (2) planning districts. These districts. are determined by location, access, and proximity to elementary schools. These parks will also feature several recreation facilities at a single site, reducing development costs and access problems often associated with facilities that are more widely dispersed. Each community park will feature a unique layout as well as an appropriate set of facilities. Map VII - 4 illustrates three areas where additional community parks should be located. Most recreational opportunities in the City of Edgewater currently exist in an area adjacent to the Indian River Intracoastal Waterway. Although these are not large parks and do not contain a large variety of recreation facilities, they should be considered as regional parks, due to the access to the Indian River and the amount of people who make use of them. Menard-May Park is a unique park containing a small swimming beach on the Intracoastal Waterway. Presently it is closed to the public for swimming, due to health and safety hazards from stormwater run-offs and their contaminants. The City has taken steps to eliminate this problem locally, but needs the help of adjacent cities, the County, and state agencies to improve the water quality of the Intracoastal Waterway. Once this is completed, the City plans to move the beach to the north side of the property to provide swimmingin a safe and healthy designated area. There is a need for more mini-parks/playgrounds, which consist of playground equipment and open play areas. Land acquisition for this type of park will be pursued and the location determined by population, access, adjacent land uses and availability. Map VII- 4 illustrates two areas within the City that should be targeted for new mini-parks. Based on the data contained in Table VII- 4, the City of Edgewater has sufficient total park land acreage to serve its current population although a deficiency exists in the amount of acreage needed for neighborhood parks. However, through an analysis of Map VII- 2, few areas in the City lie outside of the service area of some type of park. If the City acquires new park lands in the future, it should consider acquiring lands that can be developed as VII -6 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT neighborhood parks to ensure that all of Edgewater's citizens have adequate access to each type of park facility. The City will also need to ensure that future parks and recreation needs are met when annexing new lands. This will be a central issue for the southern and western areas of the City, particularly the area near the 442/Interstate 95 interchange. Areas targeted for additional park lands are illustrated on Map VII- 4. An analysis of Table VII- 4 shows that several recreational facility types will be deficient by 2005 based on population estimates and existing facilities. In addition to the new acreage being targeted for acquisition, the City is planning new development to two existing facilities The City plans to increase its inventory of soccer fields by redeveloping Edgewater Ballfields Park as a soccer complex, and to increase its inventory of ballfields and other recreational facilities, by constructing four ballfields, a conservation area, and an amphitheater when developing Hawks Park. However, it is likely that these developments will not occur until after 2005. Park. The City should attempt to plan for the other facility deficiencies identified in Table VII- 5. It is likely that these renovations will not occur until after 2005. 5. Land Acquisitions Program According to an analysis of park land deficiencies and service area boundaries, the City of Edgewater generally has good parks coverage. Map VII- 2 illustrates the service area boundaries of Edgewater's parks. Although the neighborhood parks category shown in Table VII- 4 lists a deficiency of approximately 34 acres, the City has a total park land surplus of more than 48 acres. In order to increase the availability of parks and to decrease the deficiency in the neighborhood park category, the City of Edgewater is interested in acquiring additional park lands. Table VII- 6 lists those areas the City has targeted for acquisition. The City is currendy interested in acquiring approximately 40 acres of property for new parks, a 10 acre and a 30 acre parcel. Both properties that comprise the potential new park acreage would be community parks serving a broad area of the City. The 10 acre project would be developed as a cultural park containing a City museum and arboretum, in addition to other facilities. The 30 acre project would be developed as a nature park containing trails, primitive camping facilities and environmental education components. Due to the potential to increase the access to and availability of recreational facilities at these properties, the City should complete conceptual master plans for each potential acquisition site. The completion of master plans could also help ensure linkages between existing and proposed parks, as well as linkages among parks and residential, business and cultural resources. Large areas within the City are becoming scarce and very expensive; therefore, it is imperative that the City pursues the purchase of larger parcels when available and feasible. These parcels are important to accommodate the larger facilities and allow open space for buffers between these facilities and adjoining residential areas. VII -7 CITY OF EDGEWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT 6. Future Access Issues Different population groups have particular access problems. In planning for new parks and facilities, as well as in improving the existing inventory, it will be necessary to address these access needs. The handicapped, the elderly, and even the young are sometimes prevented from utilizing parks and facilities due to inadequate access. Currently, all of Edgewater's parks are fully accessible. Development planning of any future recreational park or facility shall address the access needs of all groups. Access to the Indian River is another important issue for the City of Edgewater. Currently, the City operates five parks along the Indian River, which are connected by a 3.1-mile- Riverwalk, and contain a total of 32 parking spaces. Three private facilities also provide boat access to the Indian River to their members. The existing public parking spaces for the boat ramps are insufficient. However, the scarcity of large parcels and high cost of riverfront property makes acquisitions of additional lands difficult However, the City will continue to look for additional lands to address the need of public parking spaces. As a temporary remedy to this problem, the City is studying the possibility of adding overflow parking for boat users at Menard-May Park. . '" A second plan to increase boat access to the Indian River is to provide non-motorized boating opportunities. The City is currently studying the option of allowing a private vendor to rent kayaks and canoes from one of the City's riverfront parks. This would allow a wider segment of the population to enjoy the recreational and environmental benefits of the Indian River. Due to the low development costs of such a program and the potential for lease revenues, the City should develop a plan to allow boat rentals from a City riverfront park. Another option to increase the general access to all bf the City's recreation facilities would bean extension of the City's trail network. Establishing a plan for future extensions to the existing trail system would increase access and enable the City to establish trailheads, define trail destinations and identify priorities for -future improvements. The City should complete a trail master plan that identifies existing City trail resources, identifies any existing or proposed trail systems in the City of New Smyrna Beach or Volusia County, identifies potential trailheads and destinations and provides a prioritized list of future improvements. 7. Future Recreational Facilities Provided by Private Sector The private sector plays a major role in providing recreation and leisure opportunities to residents and visitors alike. Health clubs and a swimming pool are private facilities operated within the City's limits. Other private companies or investors will be encouraged to seek possible enterprises within the City of Edgewater. The City has attempted on several occasions to. enter into a joint venture to establish a golf course within Edgewater. The City should continue to explore these efforts and utilize any future golf course to dispose of .excess treated effluent. Additionally, the City entered into an agreement with the Edgewater YMCA to help fund construction of its new facility. This facility is a 19,000 square foot building containing a gymnasium, meeting areas and a full fitness room. The YMCA will operate the building and VII-8 CITY OF EDGEW A TER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT will now administer several City-run recreational programs. The City also benefits from this joint venture by helping to fill some of its recreational needs by providing additional basketball courts, a gymnasium and fitness room. The YMCA is currently raising funds to construct a heated swimining pool and to add a day care facility. 8. Future Open Space There are areas in the City of Edgewater that should be part of the open space element because they can fulfill potentially important open space functions. Such open spaces will provide river access as well as enhance recreational opportunities and preserve ecologically important resources. Table VII- 3 displays an inventory of all existing open space areas in Edgewater and Map VII- 3 illustrates the location of these areas. An analysis of the location map for open space areas reveals that the Florida Shores area and property adjacent to the Indian River contain the largest number of open space areas and are generally well-served. However, due to the unique character of the Indian River and the small size of most of the existing open space areas, the City should attempt to acquire additional open space areas. Additional acquisitions of property alop.g the Indian River may prove difficult due to the scarcity and high cost of riverfront Iarid:" If vacant open space property becomes available along the Indian River, the City should make all efforts to secure this land and add to its open space inventory. Another possible acquisition area is the Turnbull Hammock property. Approximately 1,200 acres of this environmentally sensitive property is already owned and managed by the St Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD). The District has plans to acquire .additional acreage within the Turnbull Hammock area, adjacent to the City limits. An additional benefit of adding this acreage to the available open space area for the City of Edgewater is its location near the growing western boundary of the City. Future annexations in this area are likely to occur and with the~e annexations, the need for additional open space will increase. The City should support the acquisition efforts of the SJRWMD in any possible manner.
