1 ARLINGTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA County Board Agenda Item Meeting of September 22, 2018 DATE: September 13, 2018 SUBJECT: Four Mile Run Valley (4MRV) Park Master Plan and (associated) Design Guidelines. C. M. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Four Mile Run Valley (4MRV) Park Master Plan and associated Design Guidelines. ISSUES: The Four Mile Run Valley (4MRV) Park Master Plan (PMP) has received significant community support throughout the civic engagement process. However, through the online engagement forum (provided in late July through August 2018), letters from the Nauck and Shirlington Civic Associations, and comments received at the September 5, 201,8 4MRV PMP open house, comments and concerns were identified, which included (but were not limited to) the following: the overall parking supply for the 4MRV area, proposed road configuration changes to South Four Mile Run Drive, the colonnade/arbor structure proposed within the adopted, final concept design for Jennie Dean Park, availability of un-programmed, casual use space within Jennie Dean Park, phasing for the south entrance to Jennie Dean Park (from the pedestrian footbridge to South Nelson Street), and next steps for the Shirlington Dog Park. SUMMARY: The Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) has developed the Four Mile Run Valley (4MRV) Park Master Plan (PMP) and associated Design Guidelines for the existing park land encompassing Jennie Dean Park, Shirlington Park, and the Shirlington Dog Park (the full PMP is provided as Attachment A). The PMP is part of the overall Four Mile Run Valley (4MRV) Initiative, which started in 2016 as a comprehensive planning effort, tying together the development of a PMP for Jennie Dean Park, Shirlington Park and Shirlington Dog Park; an Area Plan for the mostly industrial area south of Four Mile Run Drive and east of Shirlington Road; and, the ongoing design of the Nauck Town Square. The 4MRV Area Plan is anticipated to be considered by the County Board later this fall. At the May 19, 2018, County Board meeting, the 4MRV Policy Framework was adopted. The Policy Framework provides a history of the area, existing conditions and constraints, considerations leading to the final concepts, and a timeline with an implementation matrix. Furthermore, the adopted Policy Framework includes the final concept plans for Jennie Dean County Manager: ##### County Attorney: ***** 61.

2 Park and Shirlington Park (including the park uses and their approximate sizes and locations). Comprised of both the park master plan and design guidelines, the 4MRV PMP provides a vision for the comprehensive replacement and realignment of existing park features and the addition of new park amenities to meet the growing demand for active and casual use recreation, cultural resources and natural resource preservation. The 4MRV PMP is a comprehensive master plan for Jennie Dean Park and Shirlington Park, and will provide short and mid-term recommendations for the maintenance and improvement of Shirlington Dog Park.

3 BACKGROUND: The 4MRV initiative is a public process where, like the Long Bridge Area Plan and Long Bridge Park Master Plan, an Area Plan and a Park Master Plan are being developed together in a coordinated manner (see Figure 2 4MRV Study Area Map below). Figure 2: 4MRV Study Area Showing Area Plan Area (Red) and Park Master Plan Area (Orange) Source: County Board adopted 4MRV Policy Framework, May 2018 Bringing together the two processes has allowed for community discussion of a long-term vision for the Four Mile Run Valley area, which includes retention of industrial buildings and uses, opportunities for arts-related uses, replacement of park features, with opportunities to create casual use space and improve the area along Four Mile Run stream, and balancing goals for improved public spaces with goals for private ownership and development. The 4MRV Working Group Charge was adopted on April 16, 2016 and amended on July 19, Part of the 4MRV Working Group s charge states that, The Park Master Plan will provide a vision for the comprehensive replacement and realignment of existing park features (exclusively for park purposes) and the addition of new park amenities to meet the growing demand for active and passive recreation, cultural resources and natural resource preservation. The Park Master Plan encompasses three popular existing parks: the 12-acre Jennie Dean Park, and the 11-acre combined Shirlington Park and Shirlington Dog Park. The adjacencies for the three parks offered the opportunity to develop a cohesive and complementary design for the major parks in the Four Mile Run Valley. The parks are rich in history and natural resources. Jennie Dean Park, which was named after Jennie Serepta Dean, who was raised in slavery and later became an educator and chartered the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth in - 3 -

4 1893 1, has been an important part of the Nauck community for almost 70 years. Four Mile Run, the County s major riparian corridor, runs through the three parks. Significant redevelopment over the last 15 years in the adjacent Shirlington neighborhood has considerably increased the demand for park and recreation opportunities in this area. Currently Jennie Dean Park contains a significant inventory of aging facilities that are beyond their useful life and do not meet park design standards, Americans with Disabilities (ADA) requirements or stormwater requirements. Mindful of the increasing number of park users, the County has strategically been increasing the park space at Jennie Dean Park over the last 20 years through the assemblage of new properties. Common Themes: Throughout the 4MRV process, several common themes emerged. These themes influenced the final park master plan and design guidelines for the three parks. Park Master Plan Themes Celebrate the area s industrial character, historical and recreational heritage, and natural qualities; Provide for improved and expanded programmed and casual use space opportunities; Increase safety and comfort for park users by incorporating appropriate design techniques; Improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity and safety throughout the study area; Increase opportunities for riparian restoration, stormwater management, and tree canopy coverage. Mitigate water quality issues as necessary; Remove and manage invasive plant species; Preserve existing tree canopy; and Increase wayfinding and placemaking opportunities within the PMP area. Consistent with the direction provided by the County Board at the May 30, 2017, Work Session, the PMP does not provide a redevelopment plan for Shirlington Dog Park. No changes are recommended as part of the PMP, except for those activities that are less than 2,500 square feet or are part of routine maintenance or volunteer projects as listed in the Shirlington Dog Park Committee Report (see Attachment B: Shirlington Dog Park Committee Report and the 4MRV Park Master Plan document for detailed information).

5 Figure 3: PMP Study Area with Adopted, Final Concept Plans Source: Draft 4MRV Park Master Plan The County Board adopted 4MRV Policy Framework contains final concept plans for Jennie Dean Park and Shirlington Park, which were developed to reflect the community s support for celebrating and augmenting the area s industrial character, recreational and cultural heritage, and natural qualities and in fulfillment of the County Board s charge for the 4MRV process. As part of the PMP process, associated Design Guidelines have been developed detailing the unifying parks-wide design recommendations, as well as design elements that are unique to each individual park. Unifying elements include (but are not limited to): design character, universal design, safety and comfort, stormwater management, tree canopy and shade improvements, a design catalog of potential park furnishings, and incorporation of public art. Both the PMP and the Area Plan will coordinate on 4MRV improvements to access and connectivity, wayfinding and placemaking, as well continued riparian restoration. The following are overviews of the final recommended master plan for Jennie Dean Park, Shirlington Park and Shirlington Dog Park

6 Jennie Dean Park: Figure 4: County Board Adopted, Final Concept Plan for Jennie Dean Park Source: Draft 4MRV Park Master Plan The proposed PMP replaces all existing park elements and reconfigures them, as well as incorporates several new parcels into Jennie Dean Park. This will create a strong frontage along South Four Mile Run Drive, moves most of the park elements completely out of the Resource Protection Area (RPA) and creates significant casual use space. Implementation of the master plan for Jennie Dean Park will occur in two phases. Design and construction of the first phase is already funded in the Capital Improvement Plan (Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 and FY2020). The second phase will be implemented in the future once several additional parcels have been acquired for the park. The park frontage along South Four Mile Run Drive on the north side of the park will have new park entries, playground, restrooms, and casual use space. Casual use space and a small surface parking lot frame the east side of the park. Along the south, the park fronts Four Mile Run. A soft path which follows along the stream will allow access and visibility within this area and may lead to a potential water access point or overlook. The two lighted diamond fields (one adult softball and one youth baseball) will be located on the west side of the park along South Nelson Street. The outfield area of the adult softball field will also include a rectangular field overlay, which may accommodate rectangular field sports practices and other activities. The center of the park features one (1) lighted basketball court, two (2) lighted tennis courts, and two picnic shelters (one small and one large available for reservations). Expanded casual use space, enhanced tree canopy, and wayfinding and interpretive opportunities will be woven throughout the park. Public art will also be incorporated into the park. On-street parking along South - 6 -

7 Nelson Street (on-street, parallel parking spaces) and South Four Mile Run Drive (new on-street, angled parking spaces) will provide additional parking opportunities. Finally, a new, short-term vehicular drop-off area will be provided just west of the small picnic shelter. Jennie Dean Park will be implemented in two phases. The first phase will accommodate all the existing park features in its redeveloped arrangement, except for a second lighted tennis court. During Phase 1, one (1) lighted tennis court and one (1) lighted basketball court will be installed south of a privately-owned parcel (WETA). The second phase envisions future acquisition of the WETA parcel and other privately-owned parcels in the northeast portion of the site. During Phase 2, the lighted basketball court will be relocated to its new location within the WETA parcel, and the second lighted tennis court will be installed in the old location of the basketball court. Additionally, expanded casual use space will be provided in Phase 2, as well as a new entrance gateway to the park on the northeast corner along S. Four Mile Run Drive. Shirlington Park: Figure 5: County Board Adopted, Final Concept Plan for Shirlington Park Source: Draft 4MRV Park Master Plan The Shirlington Park master plan, shown above, emphasizes the idea that the Four Mile Run Trail serves as a link to destinations within the Four Mile Run Valley park system and the surrounding neighborhoods. It also responds to the needs of the park users who use the active multi-use trail. Riparian access paths and overlooks, which offer respite spaces for natural resource education or interpretation and serve as a pedestrian-friendly alternative to the multi-use trail, will be incorporated at key locations along Four Mile Run within Shirlington Park. The overlooks will create a low impact solution for park users to have visual access to the water

8 Predominantly located within the RPA, invasive species management and riparian restoration is proposed along the bank of Four Mile Run, which would add value to the existing habitat over time and assist in filtering stormwater runoff. The plan emphasizes landscape plantings to reinforce visual gateways into the park and help define casual use spaces. Other improvements may include increased pedestrian and bicycle safety, placemaking and wayfinding opportunities, and public art. Existing park features including exercise stations, tree canopy, and the multi-use trail will be maintained. Shirlington Dog Park: Figure 6: Existing Configuration of Shirlington Dog Park Source: Draft 4MRV Park Master Plan The existing size, configuration, and character of the Shirlington Dog Park will remain. The PMP includes recommendations for improvements over time. The Shirlington Dog Park Committee Final Report outlines short-term, medium-term, and long-term recommendations for creating minor physical improvements within the park (that may disturb less than 2,500 square feet), programmatic improvements, and considerations should a stormwater management triggering event occur. Recommendations that address erosion and water quality issues within the park include discontinuing mowing along the fence line which would increase vegetative buffers (and stabilize bare soil) and increasing plantings along the stream bank. Other recommendations include: employing greater tree protection techniques; increasing the availability of trash receptacles; improving signage and public education; limiting access to the stream to defined points; and, investigating opportunities to address rooftop stormwater from adjacent buildings. The PMP includes other techniques that may be used to improve the quality of the Shirlington Dog Park

9 DISCUSSION: County staff and consultants developed the PMP based on site analyses and feedback from 4MRV Working Group and the public. The park concepts were developed with sensitivity to the environment while balancing park user demand for facilities and ensuring facilities meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Background information is provided below to highlight topics which influenced the proposed PMP presented in this report. Overarching Park Master Plan Improvement Recommendations: Environment Four Mile Run is a central feature of the PMP area. The stream and its riparian and environmentally sensitive areas encompass over one-fourth of the PMP area. A Resource Protection Area (RPA) is established around Four Mile Run to protect the stream while both a floodplain and floodway have been established in conjunction to the RPA. RPAs are sensitive lands adjacent to streams where water quality is more likely to be negatively impacted due to development. In Arlington County, RPAs include a 100-foot buffer along both sides of the channel. Development and encroachment in the floodplain, floodway and RPA is restricted and regulated by various ordinances: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Floodplain Management Ordinance, Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance and Arlington County Floodplain Ordinance. The presence of these environmental designations and conditions limit the types and extent of development within the parks. The designs of the park improvements will respect the limitations of the environment and will comply with the ordinances cited above. Park element implementation measures such as pedestrian bridge crossings and overlooks are an allowable use in the RPA. Stream restoration is exempt because it is considered conservation or preservation activity. Redevelopment within the RPA can occur only if there is no increase in the amount of impervious cover within the RPA and there is no further encroachment within the RPA. Park Circulation and Accessibility The PMP area will incorporate new gateway entrances, improved internal and street facing pedestrian connections within Jennie Dean Park, riparian access points within Shirlington Park (providing more casual use opportunities for pedestrians away from Four Mile Run Trail), ADA accessible connections (with the incorporation of Universal Design elements within various park features) and wayfinding opportunities that will promote safe and clear travel to and from the PMP area and the surrounding neighborhoods. Connections will establish a smooth and continuous grade for all primary pathways (promenades) to provide universal access to all features associated with the PMP. A continuous secondary pathway system will also provide improved access to casual use spaces and other park elements. Parking The intent of the PMP is to limit the amount of surface parking and maximize the use of on-street parking. As identified in the adopted 4MRV Framework Plan, new angled parking spaces will be developed by the County along South Four Mile Run and existing parallel parking spaces will be retained along South Nelson Street. The master plan for Jennie Dean Park shows replacement of an existing surface parking lot east on the east side of the site. The Arlington County Zoning - 9 -

10 Ordinance (ACZO) requires up to 67 parking spaces for the uses within Jennie Dean Park. Approximately, parking spaces may be provided under the new on-street and off-street parking configurations. Under the ACZO, the uses identified within Shirlington Park and Shirlington Dog Park do not require parking. Furthermore, the approximately 38 parking spaces that are adjacent to the Shirlington Dog Park will remain in place. Public Art There will be opportunities to explore public art during the implementation of the PMP. The PMP design guidelines envision public art within both Jennie Dean Park and Shirlington Park. Public art may be incorporated through the various park design elements (i.e. along entrance gateways, wayfinding/signage, landscape/hardscape, playground, athletic fields, overlooks, etc.). The specific form of the public art element will be explored further during the final design phase for both parks. Real Estate Over the years, several private parcels (RPC# ; ; through - 010) were purchased and will be incorporated into Jennie Dean Park Phase 1. The PMP also shows several key new parcels being acquired in the future to expand Jennie Dean Park and build out Phase 2. In July 2018, the County Board approved an agreement of sale between the owner of 3514 S. Four Mile Run Drive and the County (the property currently contains a 3,600-sq. ft. warehouse which will be demolished) which will be incorporated for the Phase 2. The County has an option to purchase the WETA parcel ( th St. S.). There are also several other properties along South Four Mile Run Drive that would need to be purchased. The properties needed to realize Jennie Dean Park Phase 2 are identified in the Final Draft Public Spaces Master Plan (PSMP). The County is currently working on resolving encroachment issues in Shirlington Dog Park. At the May 19, 2018, County Board meeting, staff was directed to address the encroachments into public property by private businesses at 2601, 2603, and 2606 S. Oxford St., and take the necessary steps to have the encroachments removed and reestablished as County property. The current location for the Shirlington Employment and Education Center (SEEC) shelter pickup area conflicts with the concept plan for Jennie Dean Park, which calls for the surface parking lot to located at that site. The SEEC program relocated its main facility in However, the shelter pick-up area is still located at the corner of Shirlington Road and 27th Street South and will need to be relocated in the short term prior to construction of Jennie Dean Park. The County will need to identify a new location for the SEEC program currently located at Jennie Dean Park, prior to Park construction. Specific Park Recommendations: Plan Recommendations Jennie Dean Park The Jennie Dean Park Master Plan and Design Guidelines contain several improved and new features which include, but are not limited to:

11 A ring of casual use areas around three sides of Jennie Dean Park: (1) along South Four Mile Run Drive on the north; (2) along Four Mile Run on the south incorporating the RPA and floodway associated with Four Mile Run; and (3) as the primary use for future acquisitions on the east side of the park. Increased tree canopy, landscaping, and invasive species removal are also envisioned. Major and minor gateways at entrances to the park areas. Two diamond fields parallel to South Nelson Street (1) improves field orientation; (2) expands programmed and non-programmed use of the diamond fields for other sports and for drop-in community use (includes implementation of a rectangular field overlay on the larger diamond); and (3) stormwater management. New athletic field lighting (and sport court lighting) will utilize the latest LED technology to minimize glare, reduce light trespass, provide for greater energy savings, and provide improved control over light quality and quantity. Lighted athletic courts located in the center of the park. One (1) tennis court and one (1) basketball court will be constructed in Phase 1 and a second tennis court will be added in Phase 2 under a different configuration. A playground and a centrally located restroom closer to S. Four Mile Run Drive. A small picnic shelter north of the small diamond field and a large picnic shelter available for reservations in the center of the park oriented towards the casual use space area along Four Mile Run. Increased access to Four Mile Run by providing a system of parallel pathways looping in toward a potential overlook (and extending across the pedestrian bridge to connect with similar overlooks in Shirlington Park). Stormwater management best practices and technology incorporated throughout the park design. Build upon and celebrate the neighborhood s African American history and cultural heritage (as well as the park s recreational and natural histories). The existing interpretive markers currently located in Jennie Dean Park may be relocated and retained. Plan Recommendations Shirlington Park Shirlington Park will contain several improved and new features which include, but are not limited to: Riparian access paths and overlooks, which may reduce crowding along the shared use path and offer respite spaces for natural resource education or interpretation linking to overlooks. Minor gateways at each end and a major gateway at the pedestrian bridge

12 Placemaking and park amenities at each of the focal points (at street intersections) transforming the park from a corridor to a place or series of places, through a coordinated design aesthetic applied to the various design elements within the park. Management of existing vegetation to address issues of invasive species, stormwater management and visual quality. Increasing pedestrian and bicycle safety along the Four Mile Run Trail. Plan Recommendations Shirlington Dog Park The plan for the Shirlington Dog Park focuses on short and mid-term recommendations that can be made for improving the dog park, while still preserving its existing area. The adopted, Policy Framework recommendation for the PMP is to not provide a redevelopment concept for the Shirlington Dog Park, which is consistent with the guidance received at the May 2017 County Board Work Session. Listed below are potential short-term and mid-term actions that may be implemented through ongoing maintenance and management oriented activities, involving land disturbances no greater than 2,500 square feet. The full Shirlington Dog Park Committee Report is included as Attachment B. They include but are not limited to: Blocking access to informal the path outside the dog park fence to minimize soil compaction. Discontinuing mowing along the fence edge to increase vegetative buffers. Increase plantings along the stream bank where soil conditions permit. Creating physical barriers to protect existing trees. Increasing availability of trash containers and bags on both sides of the stream (including in Shirlington Park) to more effectively collect dog waste. Improving signage and public education regarding pollution, stream warnings, environmental issues and dog park rules. Limiting access to the stream to designated entry points to reduce stream bank erosion. 4MRV Park Master Plan (PMP) Design Guidelines The PMP Design Guidelines are intended to supplement and further define the general concepts laid out in the PMP. The Guidelines describe the qualitative characteristics of elements of the PMP and provide direction for achieving its vision for the comprehensive replacement and realignment of existing park features (exclusively for park purposes) and the addition of new park amenities to meet the growing demand for active and casual use, cultural resources and natural resource preservation. As the PMP is implemented over time, the Design Guidelines will serve as a decision-making framework for implementing the PMP recommendations in a consistent manner through several phases of development. The Design Guidelines articulate a design language for each park to promote commonalities among forms and materials and compatibility of styles

13 Many of the Design Guidelines apply to the larger context (the entire PMP area), and are described within the Design Guidelines as Unifying Parks-wide Design Concepts. These include but are not limited to: universal design, safety and comfort, stormwater management, tree canopy and shade improvement, riparian restoration, access and connectivity, among others. The design catalog of common design elements, such as seating, lighting, bicycle parking, trash/recycling receptacles, and drinking fountains are implemented throughout the PMP area. Finally, there are also Unique Design Elements which are distinctive design features or elements that apply to each specific park. For example, Jennie Dean Park s diamond fields, sport courts, parking/circulation points, entry and visual gateways, among other elements will be designed to enhance those attributes that make Jennie Dean Park a unique destination. Unique Design Elements for Shirlington Park include entrances and gateways, overlooks, planting design emphasizing the various casual use and natural spaces, among other park elements. Phasing and Implementation Considerations Implementation of the PMP is envisioned to occur in several phases. The adopted FY Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies funding for Jennie Dean Park Phase 1 construction and Shirlington Park Phase 1. Figure 7: Jennie Dean Park, Phase 1 Layout Technical investigations Demolition Underground and overhead utilities

14 Stormwater management Park amenity installations (including but not limited to): o One (1) lighted adult softball diamond (large diamond) with rectangular overlay o One (1) lighted youth baseball diamond (small diamond) o One (1) lighted basketball court (temporary location) o One (1) lighted tennis court o Playground o Restrooms o One (1) small and one (1) large picnic shelter o Casual use space o Entrance gateways o New landscaping and expanded tree canopy o New access paths Public art Interpretive features Installation and composition of programmed park elements On-site parking and access Jennie Dean Park, Phase 2 construction will contain similar actions and considerations but will also contain further analysis on the following (including but not limited to): Figure 8: Jennie Dean Park, Phase 2 (Final Design) Layout

15 Demolition Utilities Site preparation 27th Street South repurposing Court sports relocation: o Relocation of existing lighted basketball court to the WETA parcel. o Expansion to two (2) lighted tennis courts south of the WETA parcel. Updated gateway (along Four Mile Run Drive) and pedestrian connections Casual use space expansion Riparian plant community restoration Shirlington Park will also be constructed within two phases. Phase 2 construction and funding is beyond the current ten year CIP. The analysis of what will occur in each phase will be determined in the next CIP. Several actions and considerations are noted for this park and are detailed further within the PMP. They include, but are not limited to: Park amenities Maintenance and invasive species management Public art and other interpretation measures Bicycle and pedestrian trail improvements Relationship with overall Four Mile Run corridor Stormwater management including short and mid-term improvements to Shirlington Dog Park Conformance with County Comprehensive Plan Given that the parks, and respective expansion and/or improvement plans were mentioned in the 1994 Open Space Master Plan and 2005 Public Spaces Master Plan, and the improvements will not significantly change the location, character, and extent of the parks, the parks are considered features shown on the Comprehensive Plan, per Virginia Code Section This State Code provision requires the Planning Commission, and ultimately the County Board, to determine whether proposed public facilities are shown on and substantially in accord with the Arlington County Comprehensive Plan, which occurred previously on two occasions when the Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of both the 1994 and 2005 versions of the Comprehensive Plan s open space element. Furthermore, the Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of the MRV Policy Framework, a precursor to this refined Park Master Plan, which establishes the guidance for the specific improvements envisioned for the parks. The parks are shown on the General Land Use Plan and further refinements will be made to the GLUP as part of the implementation process expected after adoption of the 4MRV Area Plan, as described below. General Land Use Plan (GLUP) and Rezoning Actions General Land Use Plan (GLUP) amendments and rezonings will be needed to bring the entire park under one GLUP designation and zoning district. While most of the park is currently designated as Public and zoned S-3A Special District, several parcels purchased over a period of years (and those for future acquisition) are currently zoned M-1 Light Industrial District and designated within the GLUP as Service Industry and should be amended to

16 accommodate park uses. When these proposed changes occur, the County is able to reserve the density from the current industrial zoning for potential Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs). 1. Multiple County-owned and privately-owned parcels (north of Jennie Dean Park) which are currently designated within the GLUP as Service Industry will be amended to Public designation. The areas in question are outlined in red below. 2. Multiple County-owned and privately-owned parcels (north of Jennie Dean Park and south of 27th Street South) which are currently zoned M-1 will be rezoned to S-3A to conform with the Zoning Ordinance for park uses. The areas in question are outlined in purple below

17 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT: Figure 9 provides a detailed outline of the overall 4MRV PMP engagement process. Community engagement was provided through various forums, including those detailed below. A total of approximately 65 meetings were held under this initiative with most at least partly or entirely focused on the PMP. 4MRV Working Group: From the outset of the process, the community engagement process included bi-monthly meetings with the County Board appointed citizen 4MRV Working Group, and meetings with the broader community including a Community Forum, a Community Open House, and check-ins/review sessions with the three nearby Civic Associations (Nauck, Shirlington, and Douglas Park and various commissions). The 4MRV Working Group, which consisted of representatives from the three neighboring Civic Associations, property/business owners, area non-profits, and advisory boards and commissions, met over 31 times to review and comment on staff and consultant analysis, preliminary concepts, the Policy Framework, Park Master Plan and Design Guidelines, and Area Plan. In addition to Working Group meetings, Working Group members and the broader community were invited to participate in various other community engagement opportunities, which included, but were not limited to: community visioning workshops and multiple pop-up park activities within the 4MRV PMP area. County Board Work Sessions: A County Board work session was held on May 30, 2017, to review progress and to provide an opportunity for the County Board to address specific questions on topics related to potential future County open space acquisition goals adjacent to Jennie Dean Park, approaches to meeting public and private parking needs and the potential scope of changes/improvements that should be considered for Shirlington Dog Park. A second County Board work session was held on February 20, The County Board again reviewed progress

18 in the community process and offered guidance on several topics, including staff s recommended 4MRV PMP concepts, how County-owned properties should be addressed in the Policy Framework, whether privately owned parcels adjacent to Jennie Dean Park should be included in the PMP, and whether there was continued support for lane reconfiguration to improve pedestrian access and increase the supply of on-street parking rather than creating off-street public parking garages. Working Group Subcommittees: Through guidance provided by the County Board at its May 30, 2017 work session, two (2) subcommittees of the 4MRV Working Group were formed during the summer of 2017 to discuss various issues associated with a potential arts district and the Shirlington Dog Park (the Arts District Committee and the Shirlington Dog Park Committee respectively). Both committees met during the summer and provided a report back to the Working Group on September 5, 2017, and September 18, 2017, respectively. Based on the guidance received from the County Board at its February 20, 2018, work session, a third subcommittee of the Working Group was formed to reconcile the differences associated with the concept design for Jennie Dean Park (the Jennie Dean Park Committee). The Jennie Dean Park Committee met in March and April 2018 and reported back to the Working Group on April 12, Policy Framework Review: As part of the review process for the draft Policy Framework, staff met with the 4MRV Working Group on two occasions and scheduled approximately 12 review sessions with civic associations and advisory boards and commissions in February and March 2018 to receive comments that were compiled in a comments matrix. In addition, the draft Policy Framework was posted online where over 200 comments on the document were received. The Transportation Commission and Planning Commission reviewed an updated draft of the Policy Framework on May 3, 2018, and May 9, 2018, respectively. The County Board considered and adopted the 4MRV Policy Framework at its May 19, 2018, meeting. Park Master Plan Review: As part of the review process for the draft PMP, staff met with the 4MRV Working Group on July 18, 2018, to discuss the components, recommendations, Design Guidelines, and implementation/phasing guidance of the PMP. The PMP was also reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission (July 24, 2018), Sports Commission (July 26, 2018), and Urban Forestry Commission (July 26, 2018). Attached are letters of support from the Park and Recreation Commission and Urban Forestry Commission. In addition to the engagement opportunities mentioned, there have been approximately 75 plus e- mails sent to a subscriber list of over 1,800 people since 2015, which began with community engagement associated with the Nauck Town Square project. Furthermore, a walking tour took place in June 2016, community forum in September 2016, and an unveiling ceremony for the Jennie Dean Park historical markers in May Furthermore, the draft PMP was posted online where 52 comments on the document were received (46 from the PMP online forum and 6 additional comments from the Area Plan online forum). The Nauck Civic Association and the Shirlington Civic Association provided letters with additional comments on August 18, 2018 and August 20, 2018 respectively. A community open

19 house was held on September 5, 2018, which provided an additional opportunity for the community to learn about and comment on the proposed PMP. Staff considered the comments provided through these various forums (which were organized within a comments matrix) and has updated the draft PMP to reflect many of these changes (see Attachment A which provides the updated, proposed PMP). Common themes emerged and clarifying points are provided below which include: Parking (4MRV area overall): comments and concerns were prevalent regarding the need for additional parking within the 4MRV area. The ACZO requires 67 parking spaces for Jennie Dean Park based on the seating available for the diamond fields, and parking requirements associated with the tennis and basketball courts. The other parks associated with the PMP do not have parking requirements. The County Board s guidance at the February 20, 2018 work session was to not build structured parking within the study area. Therefore, the use of existing and reconfigured street parking, as well as existing surface parking lots will be available for use. The amount of park and open space available for Jennie Dean Park would be maximized if no additional structured or surface parking is constructed at the site. The concerns voiced by community members are that there will not be enough parking to accommodate the demand once an Arts District is established, new businesses move in to the area, and with greater use of park facilities. As part of the 4MRV Area Plan and PMP, there has been an emphasis on providing other multi-modal opportunities for people to visit this area, whether it be through expanded bus service, nearby trail improvements (Four Mile Run Trail & Washington & Old Dominion Trail), nearby intersection/pedestrian improvements, and encouraging walking, bicycling, carpooling, and other modes of transportation. Furthermore, the draft Area Plan (which is scheduled for County Board consideration later this fall) calls for improved street design and transportation measures. They include (but are not limited to) the following: o o Safety and traffic flow improvements which will involve an in-depth study of the Four Mile Run and Shirlington Road intersections, develop policies and practices to address parking on a district-wide basis, utilizing expanded on-street parking resources to support existing and future public and private uses. The development and review of street design alternatives for S. Four Mile Run Drive with community stakeholders to maximize on-street parking, while also ensuring safety for pedestrians and maintaining appropriate traffic flow, is an ongoing implementation measure and will also be assessed with redevelopment. Specifically associated with Jennie Dean Park s angled street parking configuration (south side of S. Four Mile Run Drive), a pilot period will be implemented to test the new angled parking spaces and associated road reconfiguration. Proposed road configuration changes on South Four Mile Run Drive: this topic is associated with proposed recommendations from draft Area Plan, but the main concern is

20 that reducing the number of lanes from four to two with one turning lane will cause unnecessary congestion coming in and out of this area (from I-395 and other major highways). This new arrangement coupled with the reconfigured parking arrangements for the area will cause issues with people backing in to angled parking spaces north of Jennie Dean Park (however, DES-Transportation staff stated that this activity is safer than turning in to angled parking spaces). As stated previously, the draft Area Plan s proposed street design and transportation implementation measures explores how they will be studied for future development. Colonnade/arbor structure (within the adopted, final concept design for Jennie Dean Park): there were comments received about removing the colonnade structure on the sidewalk, south of South Four Mile Run Drive, because it creates an unwanted barrier through the park. However, this feature was identified early in the design process (originally suggested at a meeting at the Drew Model School as part of the visioning process to include a shaded overlook area with the potential to tell the story of the early use and history of the fields and Jennie Dean Park). It has been included in every concept since and was adopted on May 19, 2018 as part of the 4MRV Policy Framework s final concept design for Jennie Dean Park. The feature serves as a visual and physical transition between S. Four Mile Run Drive and the casual use space south of the sidewalk. During the final design phase for Jennie Dean Park, the materials, design, height, and other associated features will be explored further with the community. The draft PMP provides flexibility to explore the design of this structure during the final design phase and choose to include or not include this feature. Un-programmed, casual use space availability: these comments focused on the availability of un-programmed, casual use space throughout the PMP area. The adopted, final concept designs for both Jennie Dean Park and Shirlington Park provide various opportunities for un-programmed activities. They include but are not limited to: the proposed riparian and soft paths, overlooks, and open spaces surrounding the activity nodes in Jennie Dean Park. These un-programmed, casual use spaces also provide ample opportunities to expand tree canopy and landscaping. Entrance to Jennie Dean Park (from pedestrian footbridge to South. Nelson Street): there were also comments regarding the entrance to Jennie Dean Park from the footbridge to South Nelson Street and what improvements will be provided there. Jennie Dean Park, Phase 1 development includes (but is not limited to): sidewalk, landscaping, wayfinding/signage improvements to this area. However, the larger gateway (which includes but is not limited to an outlook and riparian paths) proposed within Shirlington Park on the south side of the footbridge will be considered as part of the final design phase for Shirlington Park. Next Steps for Shirlington Dog Park: the PMP provides short and mid-term recommendations for invasive species removal, wayfinding/signage improvements, increased plantings on the streambank, more trash/recycling receptacles, limiting access points to designated entry/exit points to minimize erosion, and other measures that will improve the park, without triggering necessary, stormwater management requirements

21 Next Steps for Jennie Dean Park Final Design: Under the guidance of the County Manager s Six- Step Public Engagement Guide, staff is developing engagement strategies for the Jennie Dean Park final design process. The County will utilize a distributed engagement process, where stakeholders and interested community members will be invited to participate through a variety of opportunities. Specific park design elements (playgrounds, casual use space, landscape/hardscape design, public art, etc.), and opportunities to create design components celebrating Jennie Dean Park s rich African American, recreational, industrial, and natural histories and context will be considered by the community. In addition to these activities, interviews will be conducted with identified, long-time/historic residents of Nauck and Arlington County about the recreation and use of Jennie Dean Park, which will help facilitate the final design process. The public engagement process for the final Phase 1 park design is scheduled to commence in fall 2018 and continue through Similar to the Lubber Run Community Center project currently underway, staff is proposing to utilize the Construction Manager At Risk (CMAR) procurement process. Construction of the new Jennie Dean Park is anticipated to begin during 4th Quarter, calendar year

22 Figure 9: Public Engagement Process Outline for 4MRV Park Master Plan

23 FISCAL IMPACT: The recently adopted FY Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies $16.18 million in FY 2019 and 2020 funding for Jennie Dean Park, Phase 1 design and construction. The Jennie Dean Park funding supports the design and construction of the areas that make up the existing park with its significant inventory of aging facilities that are at or beyond their useful life. This project is anticipated to utilize a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) process as the procurement tool for contracted design and construction and is anticipated to be designed and constructed over the next three years. A more detailed operating budget will be developed after the final design elements of the PMP are determined. The adopted CIP also identifies $3.03 million in funding for the first phase of Shirlington Park in the very latter years of the ten year CIP. However, the park elements and other specific details associated with either Phase 1 or 2 construction have not been determined

24 ARLINGTON COUNTY PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION 2100 Clarendon Boulevard, Suite 414 Arlington, Virginia The Honorable Katie Cristol Chair, Arlington County Board 2100 Clarendon Blvd., Suite 300 Arlington, VA August 17, 2018 RE: Park Master Park Plan for Four Mile Run Valley Dear Chair Cristol: Members of the Park and Recreation Commission (PRC) have participated in the Four Mile Run Valley Working Group ( 4MRVWG ), and the commission has received regular progress updates since the 4MRVWG s inception over two years ago. Individual members of both the working group and the PRC have expressed a wide range of views on the various plans as they have made their way through the process. While not every member on the commission agrees with every element of the Park Master Plan, in general the commission supports County Board adoption of the plan and is pleased that it is finally moving forward after many, many years of delay. The PRC highlights the following issues for your consideration: Unique History of Jennie Dean Park The PRC is acutely aware of the unique history of Jennie Dean Park, especially that for many years, it was the sole recreation area for African-Americans to use. The PRC notes that Arlington parks are for everyone and it is important to ensure that current and future generations are aware of a time in our history when that was not the case. We urge that the design stage explore opportunities for the community fully to tell this story and find ways to document and creatively share this information. Colonnade along Four Mile Run Drive Neighbors of Jenny Dean Park have raised issues about noise from the park. The draft Park Master Plan provides a colonnade and additional plantings intended to buffer noise from the park, as well as buffer the noise and pollutants of traffic along Four Mile Run Drive. Recently an issue has been raised about the colonnade creating a potential barrier to the park. We trust that this issue can be addressed during the design process to ensure an open, attractive and welcoming entrance to the park along Four Mile Run Drive, while also dealing with the issues of noise and pollutants and perhaps offering educational signage material that honors the park s historical affiliation with the neighborhood. 1

25 Two-block area West of Nelson Street While the commission understands the rationale for removing the two-block area west of Nelson Street from the park planning area, the PRC notes that the county has systematically purchased properties in this area over a 20-year period to expand Jennie Dean Park. Taking these parcels out of consideration for expansion of the park severely limited possible design options and recreational opportunities an expanded Jennie Dean Park could have provided. Per the recommendation of the Shirlington Dog Park Committee, the PRC at a minimum supports integrating the existing county-owned warehouse properties ( S. Oakland Street) into parkland as originally intended. Removing the buildings and creating green, flexible use space could accomplish an array of complementary objectives such as: 1) addressing some limited stormwater issues by increasing vegetation, 2) integrating the dog park and Jennie Dean Park with the potential arts district, 3) providing flexible space that could be used for festivals and other events, 4) providing swing space for Jennie Dean Park as the site is developed, and 5) opening up the line of site into the park from Four Mile Run Drive. Phase 2 and Acquisition of WETA site We support the action taken by the County Board to move forward on the acquisition of the WETA site when that becomes available and thereafter to commence Phase 2 of renovating Jennie Dean Park. Phase 2 will enhance casual use space, in such high demand in this area and across the county and complete the full integration of the other amenities Jennie Dean Park now provides. We urge that once the WETA property becomes available, the county move expeditiously to complete the park. That property will help provide the space to fulfill the Board's commitment to restore in Phase 2 the second of two tennis courts currently in Jennie Park which unfortunately, because of the constraints imposed by the available space and other priorities, has been removed from Phase 1 development. As noted in the 4MRVWG charge, restoration of all currently existing amenities, including the second tennis court, is important for supporting various countywide park users. If the county is not able to acquire the WETA site, the PRC would support other land uses, such as in the properties West of Nelson Street for tennis court restoration. Nelson Street Footbridge We have heard more recently from other neighbors that the Shirlington side of this bridge, which is the southern entrance to Jennie Dean Park, has various safety, signage and aesthetic issues. Also, the bridge itself could use some refurbishment and lighting. We urge that the county pursue improvements to this small area as part of the Phase 1 rebuild of the park. Thank you for letting us share our views. Sincerely, William Ross Chair, Park and Recreation Commission 2
