SAND FALL PARK DEVELOPMENT PLAN
INTRODUCTION
Mason County recognizes their need for improved athletic field facilities particularly in the north
half of the county . Participation in youth club sports has grown quickly in recent years with demand
for game and practice venues outstripping available recreation fields . In response to these growing
needs the firm of MacLeod ReckordLandscape Architects was hired in February of 2005 to assist
the Parks , Utilities and Waste Management Department to formulate a development plan for Sand
Full Park in Belfair.
Mason County owns and operates Sand Hill Park , which currently consists of six baseball/softball
fields that accommodate a variety of club users and levels of play . The existing facilities have
evolved over many years through a combination of County work force improvements and the labor
and materials donated by club users . The existing fields occupy about two-thirds of the 30 acre
site and are separated by two roadways , Only three of the six fields meet recommended minimum
size requirements for fast-pitch softball and Little League play . The Parks , Utilities and Waste
Management Department identified the need for a more comprehensive look at park planning be6
fore committing additional renovation or development funds to the facility . The purpose of this re®
port is to summarize the planning process and provide recommendations for phased improve®
ments to Sand Hill Park , which can then be adopted by Mason County` s Board of County Commis®
sinners to provide continuity and direction for development of the park over the longterm .
SAID HILL PARK V L P NT PLAN �
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The existing facility is comprised of seven distinct areas defined by roadways , topography and
vegetation . Sand Hill Road is a north/south connector and runs through the eastern half of the
park separating approximately 9 acres on the east side of the road from 21 acres on the west. The
east 9 acres is further divided by Fern Way, a neighborhood access road , which runs from Sand
Hill Road east to the edge of park property where it becomes a private road . A crosswalk on Fern
Way and a crosswalk with pedestrian crossing signs on Sand Hill Road provide the only pedes-
trian connections between the segmented park .
The southeast 2 . 75 acres is occupied by Field *3 , a small baseball/softball field with a 200-230'
outfield . The field is benched into a slope about 8' below Sand Hill Road . A steep slope defines
the edge of the outfield which falls another 10- 12 ' down to a mixed growth woodland which forms
an effective buffer to single-family properties to the east.

The field has covered dugouts and concrete bleacher steps behind a wood pole supported chain
link backstop . The County has recently installed irrigation , however, the grass is clumpy , typical of
a non-irrigated turf. The infield edge is uneven and there is evidence of standing water, indicating
drainage problems . Access to the field is via a paved ramp which does not meet ADA require-
ments .

The northeast 6 . 25 acres contains Fields * 1 and *2 , both substandard sized baseball/softball
fields . Backstops are located next to Sand Hill Road with only 70 ' between the road and backstop
of the southerly field . A 6' chain link fence forms the common outfield boundary 155' from home
plate . The backstop and fences are formed of galvanized pipe and chain link. The chain link fabric
on Field * 1 ' s backstop has just been replaced by the County . The infields appear to have ade-
quate drainage , and the edge of the infields are uneven and the outfield grass is clumpy . Timber
stairs provide access from backstop g1 to a small level area , 12- 14' above the field , which is used
as an informal parking lot. A set of concrete stairs behind backstop * 1 lead down to the entrance
of a culvert tunnel under Sand Hill Road . The culvert was constructed by the County to provide a
safe means of crossing the road . It is long , dark and narrow however, and is now fenced off at
both ends . North of the gravel parking lot is a small residence that is occupied year-round by the
County' s park caretaker. North of the residence is a well house which provides irrigation water to
Fields # 1 , *2 , and *3 .
Nine acres of the 21 acres west of Sand Hill Road is undeveloped mixed growth woodland . It oc-
cupies the north end of the park and is on average 151&&20' above the elevation of the rest of the
park area west of Sand Hill Road . The soils appear to be the gravelly well-drained material found
elsewhere in the park and grading could create another flat bench to develop more fields .
In the southeast corner of the 2F acre parcel west of and adjacent to Sand Hill Road is a 1 . 5-acre
"chip seal"/gravel parking lot. The south end of the lot is adjacent to parking lots at Sand Hill Be-
mentary School , which shares the south property line with the park. At the north end of the parking
lot is another well house that may be used for irrigation west of Sand Hill Road .

PROGRAMMING
The County identified the three primary user groups of Sand Hill Park as follows :
North Mason Girls Softball Association ( SA)
North Mason Little League ( LL )
Pee Wees
The County provided MacLeod Reckordwith a list of the attendees at the Mason County Parks
Athletic Facility Allocation Planning Meeting held February 6 , 2005 in Belfair . The club leaders
from each of the organizations listed above were invited to attend an interview with MacLeod
Reckord to discuss existing conditions , current and projected levels of use , unmet needs , and their
vision of an improved Sand Hill Park . Summaries of these interviews are provided in the appendix .
Beds Analysis
Based on current levels of participation and unmet needs the total number of game events per
season is 50 . This number is expected to increase slowly in the near terra . Once the season
starts , practice sessions for Pee Wees and Little League are rare due to a lack of field space . The
MG SA have fewer games per week and more practices . Allowing 10 game events/week , 5 un ®
lighted regulation fields can provide 5 x 10 x 12 weeks ® 600 games . This allows for 60 practices .
The practice needs per season are now largely unmet. This deficiency could be made up by add .
ing fields and /or field lighting to the complex .
The interview results yielded the following answers to the question , "What is your highest priority
improvement? " :
® Restrooms
® Make Field 04 per Little League recommended standards except for left field which
could be fenced , and make Field conform to recommended Little League standards .
® Additional fields
Other frequently requested improvements include :
® Storage
® Concessions
® Warm up areas
® Sand Full Road crossing improvements
® Gathering space
® Elimination of parking on east side of Sand Hill Road
® Chilren ' s play area
Drinking fountains
® Flag pole
SAID HALL PARK DEVELOPMENT PLAID 5
® Trails and picnic facilities
® Power to all fields
2 Warning tracks
® More parking east of Sand Full Road
Program Deyelopment
The results of the user group interviews were reviewed with park staff and the consultant was pro-
vided guidance as follows :
® Address safety concerns in proposed concepts ;
® Follow as closely as possible to accepted ballpark design standards ;
Maximize baseball fields ;
® Show all appropriate amenities normally found with ballpark facilities .
The following program elements were identified for alternative park design concept studies as a re-
sult of guidance from park staff and input from the user groups .
Program Elements for Concept Studies
A . Improvements to Existing Fields :
1 , Strip existing outfield sod , add topsoil , finish grade and seed .
1 Add regulation Little League warning tracks to all fields .
3 . Raise height of outfield fence when distance to home plate is less than 200 feet .
4 . Add outfield fence to Fields #4 and #5 .
5 . Complete dugouts Field #4 .
. Improve infield drainage on Field 45 .
7 . Rerade infields to promote surface drainage and eliminate irregularities .
. Improve dugouts , backstops , pedestrian access and spectator seating at Fields # 1 , # , and
#3 .
. Use a portion of Sand Full Road ROW to reconstruct retaining wall on east side of road and
provide a walkway to connect parking to Fields 41 , #2 , and #3 .
B . Relocation of Existing Fields :
1 . Shift location of Fields 44 and #5 to allow for a regulation 200400t outfield on both fields .
Shift would require significant clearing , cut and regrading of existing slopes .
2 . Shift location of backstop on Field 43 , +!- 40 feet to the south to make room for restrooml
concessions south of Fern Way .
30 Shift location of Field 45 backstop 30 feet east to gain a 200400t outfield . The distance
between Fields #5 and 46 would be reduced to 60 feet.
4 . Relocate Fields # 1 and *2 to the north half of the west side of the park and convert area to
o permanent "T"-ball backstops and two portable "T"®ball backstops and one minimum
FIFA regulation soccer field or warm-up area .

C . New Fields :
1 , Add Field "7 (20 feet) west of Sand Mill Road , north of parking area .
2 . Add a minimum of 2 fields on the north half of the west side of Sand Full Park .
. Add a multipurpose warm - up area with one permanent 7% ball backstop west of Sand Hill
Road , west of the parking area .
I0 . New Support Facilities :
1 . Improve safety of pedestrian crossing at Sand Hill Road .
2v Restroorn/concession /storage buildings west of Sand Hill Road could be one or multiple
structures .
30 Include a meeting room to the restroom /concession structure .
4 . Cildren ' s play area west of Sand Hill Road .
5 . Restroorn/concession /store e building east of Sand Hill Road in area created by su es-
tion of B , 2 , above .
6 . Install a wire cable guardrail along both sides of Sand Full Road to prevent on �street park®
in . Add sidewalks on both sides of Sand Full Road
7 . Add a bullpen to the outfield side of each dugout on Fields 44 , *5 , and 46 and all new fields .
3 . Light Fields 4 , " , and *6 and all new fields .
. Provide drinking fountains at each field or at a minimum at each restroom .
10 . Provide foul poles on all fields ; except designated 7% all areas .
11 . Create a commons area with flagpole for ceremonies and gathering space .
1 . Expand existing parking west of Sand Hill Road by filling in northwest corner and adding
stall striping and wheel stops .
SAND 'HILL PARK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 7
ALTERNATIVE CONCEPTS
Three alternative concept studies were presented to park staff, County Commissioners and user
groups for discussion and comment . The alternatives illustrate different levels of development and
programming priorities for the park . Alternative Concept Study A is the most ambitious plan while
Alternative Concept Study C is the least ambitious . All of the concepts meet the current and near
future needs of the user groups . Common to all three plans are : the formalization of the parking
area west of Sand Hill Road ; the addition of a vehicular guardrail along the east side of Sand Hill
Road to restrict parking ; a flashing signal crossing light on Sand Hill Road ; and a new 200 ' outfield
baseball/softball field in the open area north of the large parking lot .
CONCEPT STUDY A
This plan takes a "let' s start over ' approach and is the most ambitious plan . Two new, 200' out.
field , baseball/softball fields are located east of Sand Hill Road . Fern Way is relocated to the pe-
rimeter of the park to lessen the potential for pedestrian and vehicular conflicts . By eliminating one
undersized practice field and providing additional fill room is created for a 28-car parking lot ac-
cessed from Fern Way and a small plaza area with a restroom/concession building , storage , picnic
tables and a flagpole . New backstops and spectator seating , dugouts , bull pens and two batting
cages are also shown . The existing caretaker residence is relocated to allow for a 24-car parking
lot north of the two fields . A sidewalk is proposed along the east side of Sand Hill Road . Two new
fields and a 50-car parking lot are proposed for the northwest area of the park. The area can ac-
commodate one 200 ' outfield and one 300 ' outfield baseball/softball fields . The layouts include
covered dugouts , bull pens and spectator seating . Benched into the hillside south of the fields a
plaza is shown containing handicap ramps , picnic tables , a restroom/concession building and a
meeting room/shelter building . This plaza is on access with a plaza proposed at the backstop be-
tween three new fields in the southwest corner of the park . Two of the fields have 200' outfields
and one has a 300' outfield . All three have covered dugouts , bull pens and spectator seating . An-
other restroom/concession is also located here and all of the backstops are connected with acces-
sible paving and maintenance vehicle access routes .
The construction cost for Concept Study A is $2 , 585 , 000 . 00 (see Appendix 3 for detail) with an es-
timated total project cost of $3 , 231 , 250 . 00 .

SAND HILL PARK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 9
CONCEPT STUDY B
This plan is a paired down version of Concept Study A . Fern Hill Road is left in its existing location .
Field *3 is relocated to the south to make room for a 14-car parking lot and an accessible ramp
down to the field . Clearing and regrading make room for a single new 200' baseball/softball field , a
plaza with restroom/concession building and a new 28-car parking lot. The caretaker' s house is re-
located and a new 28-car parking lot is shown north of the new field . Development of the north-
west corner of the site is similar to Concept A except that both fields have 200' outfields , parking is
provided for 75 cars , and the restrooms , concessions and meeting room are combined in one
building with a separate storage building . The plaza area is smaller and is connected to the fields
below with a paved path and a loop path is shown around the two fields . Three fields continue to
be shown in the southwest corner of the site , however, Field *6 remains in its existing location and
Fields *4 and *5 slide north and east to allow for 2 regulation 200' outfields . This configuration
leaves room for a multi- purpose/warm-up area south of Field *6 with a "T" ball backstop in the
southeast comer.
The construction cost for Concept Study B is $2 , 331 , 000000 with a total project cost of
$21 913 , 750 . 00 .

CONCEPT STUDY C
This plan is the least ambitious of the three alternatives . The configuration of the field south of
Fern Way is the same as in Concept Study B including the 14- car parking lot . North of Fern Way
two undersized fields are located very close to the existing footprints of existing Fields * 1 and *2 .
No additional clearing or grading is required . New backstops , covered dugouts , spectator seating ,
handicapped access and two small storage buildings are proposed . A 10 ' high fence would be in-
stalled between outfields . The caretaker residence remains in its existing location and a smaller
20-car parking area is proposed north of the fields . The development proposed for the northwest
area is the same as in Concept Study B . The development proposed for the southwest area is
very similar to Concept Study B except that the northern most 200' field is undersized with the
possibility of future long-term expansion (clearing and grading) .
The construction cost for Concept Study C is $2 , 201 , 000 . 00 with a total project cost of
$217512250000 ,

USER GROUP RESPONSE
A user group meeting was held on March 10 , 2005 in Belfair to review the Alternative Concept
Plans and discuss issues . Representatives from NMGSA , NMLL and Pee Wees were present . All
were very pleased that improvements were being planned for the park . There were some minor
disagreements between user groups regarding configuration and priorities , but in general the
groups were in favor of maximizing the useful life of existing facilities and adding to them to create
a recreation park capable of accommodating their needs while providing a viable venue for reve-
nue generating tournaments and adult softball use .
Following is a list of the primary items of discussion and user group preferences :
1 . Preserve previous investments in filed improvements and avoid as much demolition and re®
construction as possible .
2 . Pursue the potential for joint use with the School District which could provide :
a . Expansion of Field ##4 outfield onto school property
b . Allow park user access to the existing children ' s play area
c . Share park parking with the school
d . Allow use of the existing and /or proposed 300 ' fields by the high school .
3 . The master plan should provide the following :
a . If field 44 cannot be extended onto school property then shift fields 44 and 45 to the
north and east to allow room for two 200 ' fields . Keep field #6 in its present location .
(Concept Study B )
b . Construct one 200 ' field and one 300 ' field in the wooded area on the north side of the
site along with parking and related improvements . (Modified Concept Study A)
c . Improve the existing west side parking and pedestrian access as shown on all three
concepts .
d . Continue to pursue certification of the existing well for irrigation .
e . Little League and Pee !/Nees favor three fields on the east side of Sand Hill Road . They
would like to : Leave field #3 in its present location and configuration , with improvements
for access and infield drainage ; and would like us to study the possibility of moving field
# 1 to the north and west to create two useable fields (# 1 and #3 ) and one practice field
(#2 ) . Field # 1 would have built-in bleacher seating similar to field #3 .
f. Girls Softball favors the two-field alternative on the east side as shown on Concept
Study B .
go estrooms , concessions and storage should be included .
h . Field lighting should be included .
i . County should improve pedestrian crossing of Sand Hill Road .
j . Arrange new parking in NE corner to align access drive with new parking drive across
Sand Hill Road . (Concept Study A)
12
4 . Phasing
. The first priority should be the construction of field 7 and related access and perking
improvements
b . Complete the construction of new fields before any substantial work on existing fields in
done . The groups are concerned about field renovation or relocation that would remove
the fields from use during the playing season .
c . Include restroom/concession building in project that constructs fields 43 and 49 .
d . Construct restroo /concession building at fields 44 , 45 , and 46 as soon as possible after
field 47 is constructed .
COUNTYCOMMISSIONER ' S
The Commissioners were briefed on the Sand Hill Park Concept Study on February 2 , 2005 by
Doug icheau , Director of Parks , Utilities and Waste Management , and by Ed MacLeod , consult®
ant from MacLeod Reckord Landscape Architects . Commissioners Kamin , Sheldon and Ring
Erickson were present . Please see a copy of the briefing minutes in Appendix 5 .
The Commissioners were in agreement with park staff and user groups that a plan which re-
serves the investment in existing facilities , particularly Field 0 , was an appropriate approach to
take . The expense to improve Fields * 1 and 4 (clearing and filling to achieve regulation size fields )
was not felt to be a wise investment given the lack of room for parking on the east side of Sand
Hill Road and the conflict inherent in crossing Sand Hill Road from the large parking lot . Field
meets minimum standards for Little League and softball and with minor improvements could con -
tinue to serve . Existing and future needs of user groups should be met y : making minor improve-
ments to Field 46 ; constructing a new 20 ' Field 47 ; reconstructing Fields #4 and 45 to achieve mini-
mum 20 ' outfields ; and construction of two new fields with appropriate parking in the northwest
corner of the site . Fields 41 and 42 should be relegated to younger team games and practice only .
Consideration should be given to eliminating the outfield fence to create a multipurpose field area
for use by other sports . Appropriate restrooms , storage , children ' s play areas , gathering spaces ,
maintenance facilities , planting , walkways , and irrigation should be provided with any new devek
o ment . The Commissioners also embraced the idea of a loop path around the fields in the north -
west corner of the site and liked the idea of providing park elements other than recreation fields .

POTENTIAL LONG-TERM EXPANSION
Volunteer Help :
User groups have expressed an interest in continuing the partnership spirit with the County that
has existed over the years . There is a community interest in providing donated labor and materials
as well as assisting with some aspects of field maintenance . Reforestation efforts and the con-
struction of small structures (benches , picnic tables , scoreboards , etc. ) are good candidates for
donated materials and labor. Volunteer help could supplement Phase 2 improvements or be ap-
plied to future phases .

GSA Additional Comments :
W There should be enough parking to accommodate 24 cars per game . 6 fields ® 144 cars .
® Restrooms would be a welcome addition , but the need for more fields is greater .
® A commons area for gathering would be nice .
a NMGSA has two storage sheds on site . Permanent storage would be nice , but is not a
priority .
® Concessions not a priority .
® Warm - up area is important , but formal bull pens and batting cages are not a high priority .
® Currently each team has two events per week. It is desirable to increase this to three events
per week .
No need for another large ( 300 ' ) field .
® Portable mound on #6 would be good .
® Field # 1 accommodates 3- 10 year old age groups .
® Two fields for exclusive use of softball would be great .
® Three more fields (200 ' ) would probably take care of everyone ' s needs .
® Future field #7 west of Sand Hill Road ( backstop only) has had a sinkhole in the outfield
area in the past .
® Abandon tunnel and create storage area at either end .
Infield lip on fields # 1 and #2 is uneven and dangerous .
® Fields #5 and #6 now have disturbed areas from irrigation installation .
® Field #5 infield is low and holds water especially at 3 `d base dugout .
County should pursue a joint-use agreement with School District to allow expansion of field
#4 outfield and create room for soccer field .
® The addition of 6 ' outfield fences on #4 and #5 would be nice .
Can fields # 1 and #2 utilize slope for bleacher seating ?
® Fields should have warning tracks .
® Vandalism is an issue .

N LL Additional Comments .
After opening day very few practices are held .
® Sand Hill Park is both home and away for most teams .
No NMLL t- ball played at Sand Hill Park .
® NIVILL has two year contract with County for concessions .
® Field #5 good as-is ; add outfield fence .
Fields should have warning tracks .
Mounds are needed for LL except t- ball and coach pitch .
® Orientation should be considered , but not at the expense of the number of fields or
convenient organization of fields .
® Include a flag pole and second story announcer booth and meeting room above
restroom/storage/concession , but not if ADA requirements make the cost prohibitive .
® 185 ' outfields are ok , but not desirable .
® Moving field #5 north to make room for 200 ' outfield in #4 seems like a low priority for use of
meager improvement funds .
Personally Doug Crummey would like to see the north half of Sand Hill Park remain passive ;
i . e . trails , vegetation , picnic , play area , etc. These activities also support the athletic field .
® NMLL is working to gain practice fields at two other locations ; ( Hawkin Middle School and
Centrex) .
® A grass infield on #5 and #6 would be ideal .
® Parking rarely a problem . When it occurs the overflow goes to the school lot . Parking along
Sand Hill Road is a problem unrelated to available space in parking lot .
® Lighting of fields would not make a big difference to NMLL , but it could provide field time for
adult softball .
® Bull pens would be great for #5 and #6 . Room for one pitcher at a time is ok .
® There is a big celebration opening_ day ; some gathering space for that event would be nice .
® Need power outlets at #5 and #6 .
Need play area on west side of street .
12 NMLL is willing to contribute time , materials and money to improvements . Many parents
have contracting experience .
® Drainage has not been a significant problem . Drainage at #2 is good .
® Temporary outfield fencing is ok .
® Long term NMLL would like to have two dedicated 200 ' fields and one 300 ' field .
Portable mounds are undesirable ( not as safe and difficult to manage) .
The addition of scoreboards with advertising and advertising signs on the outfield fences
should be resolved with the County .

Pee Wee Additional Commentsw
® Lack of restrooms is a problem .
® Crossing Sand Hill Road is a safety problem . Tyler Shiffman remembers a plan for an
overpass developed around 1986 .
® The Pee Wees are assigned field #2 for their exclusive use . It' s nice to have your own field .
® In the future the Pee Wee baseball program may change to a Babe Ruth League format
more like NIVILL .
® Field #3 should have an irrigation system . One may have just been installed .
Sani-cans are now used and the addition of restrooms is a high priority .
® There should be soccer and Pee Wee football fields provided .
® There should be more cooperation between the County and School District for development
and maintenance of fields .
® Lighting the fields would allow for more Pee Wee games and practice for the older kids .
® Pee Wees are in favor of portable mound use , rather than permanent mounds , for added
field scheduling flexibility .
Randy Netherlin suggested the addition of soccer/football fields and a gymnasium on the
upper north half of Sand Hill Park .
® An example of a nice complex is MCRRA in Shelton .
® Short term priorities include :
® Add restroom and one field on west side .
® Irrigate all fields .
Add drinking fountains at all fields .
® Long Term :
® Two designated Pee Wee fields .
® Two more total fields .
® Four t- ball backstops .
List of Potential Program Elements
SAND HILL PARK DEVELOPMENT PLAN
List of Potential Program Elements
A . Improvements to Existing Fields :
1 . Strip existing outfield sod, add topsoil, finish grade and seed.
2 . Add regulation little league warning tracks to all fields.
3 . Raise height of outfield fence when distance to home plate is less than 200 feet.
4 . Add outfield fence to fields #4 and #5 .
5 . Complete dugouts field 44 .
6 . Improve infield drainage on field 95 .
7 . Regrade infields to promote surface drainage and eliminate irregularities .
8 . Improve dugouts, backstops, pedestrian access and spectator seating at fields # 1 , #2 , and #3 .
9 . Use a portion of Sand Hill Road ROW to reconstruct retaining wall on east side of road and
provide a walkway to connect parking to fields # 1 , #2, and #3 .
B . Relocation of Existing Fields :
1 . Shift location of fields 94 and #5 to allow for a regulation 200 foot outfield on both fields . Shift
would require significant clearing, cut and regrading of existing slopes .
2 . Shift location of backstop on field #3 , +/- 40 feet to the south to make room for
restroom/concessions south of Fern Way .
3 . Shift location of field #5 backstop +/- 30 feet east to gain a 200 foot outfield . The distance
between fields #5 and 46 would be reduced to 60 feet.
4 . Relocate fields # 1 and #2 to the north half of the west side of the park and convert area to two
permanent t-ball backstops and two portable t-ball backstops and one minimum FIFA regulation
soccer field or warm-up area .
C . New Fields :
1 . Add field #7 (200 feet) west of Sand Hill Road, north of parking area .
2 . Add a minimum of 2 (200 feet) fields to the north half of the west side of Sand Hill Park . These
fields could be dedicated softball fields with their own support facilities .
3 . Add a non-regulation soccer field/warm-up area with two permanent t-ball backstops west of
Sand Hill Road, west of the parking area.
D . New Support Facilities
1 . Improve safety of pedestrian crossing at Sand Hill Road.
2 . Restroom/concession/storage buildings west of Sand Hill Road could be one or multiple
structures .
3 . Add a meeting room to the structure in # 1 above .
4 . Children' s play area west of Sand Hill Road .
5 . Restroom/concession/storage building east of Sand Hill Road in area created by suggestion of
B . 2 . above .
6 . Install a wire cable guardrail along both sides of Sand Hill Road to prevent on- street parking . Add
sidewalks on both sides of Sand Hill Road
7 . Add a bullpen to the outfield side of each dugout on fields #4, # 5 , and 46 and all new fields .
Page 1 of 2
S . Add a minimum of two batting cages on the west side of Sand Hill Road and one per two new
fields constructed .
9 . Provide scoreboards (can be electronic or handaoperated) .
10 . Light fields #4, # 5 , and 46 and all new fields .
11 . Provide drinking fountains at each field or at a minimum at each restroom .
12 . Provide foul poles on all fields ; except designated t-ball areas .
13 . Create a commons area with flagpole for ceremonies and gathering space .
14 . Expand existing parking west of Sand Hill Road by filling in northwest corner and striping
existing and expanding lot.
E . Potential Joint Use with School District
L Agree to joint use of Sand Hill Elementary School parking and Sand Hill Park parking.
2 . Agree to allow Mason County Parks to extend field #4 outfield onto park property .
3 . Agree to allow a portion of a regulation soccer field and t-ball area to extend onto School District
property. Mason County builds and maintains facilities and School District has priority use during
school hours .
4 . Reroute Fern Way around the outfield of field #3 , utilizing a portion of School District property
on the south end to complete the connection to Sand Hill Road . This would eliminate the
pedestrian conflict crossing Fern Way, avoid blocking access to homes east of Sand Hill Park,
and allow for larger outfields on fields # 1 and 42 by utilizing portions of existing Fern Way . The
option discussed in E .2 . may be eliminated depending on the amount of property the School
District would allow Parks to utilize .

County Board of Commissioners
Briefing Minutes : Sandhill Park Development Plan
February 28 , 2005
Present : Commissioners Kamin, Sheldon, and Ring Erickson
Doug Micheau, Director of Parks, Utilities , and Waste Management
Ed MacLeod, consultant for MacLeod Reckord
Mr. Micheau provided background for the Board on the Sandhill Park Plan effort relative
to scope and timing . He indicated the consultant had met with representatives from the
user groups and solicited information on their current and future needs . Mr. MacLeod
then went over some potential development concepts with the Board, to obtain their
guidance in developing a final draft plan for their review. The Board indicated their
concurrence with a development plan that preserves the investment in existing field
number six (300 ' field) and provides :
® appropriate restroom, concession, gathering, play areas , and storage for the site ;
® regulation 200 ' fields for existing fields numbered 3 , 4 , & 5 ;
two additional fields (one 200 ' and one 300 ' ) and sufficient parking in the upper
undeveloped area; and
practice fields with parking on the east side of Sandhill Road .
Mr. Macleod will be incorporating their guidance in a final draft development plan, along
with phasing plans and cost estimates . This will be presented to the user groups for
comment and presented to the Board for consideration and potential adoption in the latter
part of March. Mr . Micheau will be proceeding with any necessary improvements ,
consistent with the Board ' s direction, that will enhance the suitability of the fields for the
start of games in April . Design of improvements for the first phase of development will
begin following adoption of the, with construction to follow later this year .

Subject : Sand Hill Park User Group Meeting
Doug :
The meeting went well last night. All three groups were represented and all were enthusiastic about the
possibilities for improvement. Following is a list of the primary items of discussion and user group
preferences :
1 . Preserve previous investments in filed improvements and avoid as much demolition and
reconstruction as possible .
2 . Pursue the potential for joint use with the School District which could provide :
a . Expansion of Field #4 outfield onto school property
b . Allow park user access tot he existing children ' s play area
c . Share park parking with the school
d . Allow use of the existing and /or proposed 300 ' fields by the high school .
3 . The master plan should provide the following :
a . If field #4 cannot be extended onto school property then shift fields 4 and 5 to the north and
east to allow room for two 200 ' fields . Keep field #6 in its present location . ( Concept Study B )
b . Construct one 200 ' field and one 300 ' field in the wooded area on the north side of the site
along with parking and related improvements . ( Modified Concept Study A)
c . Improve the existing west side parking and pedestrian access as shown on all three
concepts .
d . Continue to pursue certification of the existing well for irrigation .
e . Little League and Pee Wees favor three fields on the east side of Sand Hill Road . They would
like to : Leave field #3 . in its present location and configuration , with improvements for access
and infield drainage ; and would like us to study the possibility of moving field #1 to the north
and west to create two useable fields (# 1 and #3 ) and one practice field (#2 ) . Field # 1 would
have built-in bleacher seating similar to field #3 .
f. Girls Softball favors the two field alternative on the east side as shown on Concept Study B .
g . Restrooms , concessions and storage should be included .
h . Field lighting should be included .
i . County should improve pedestrian crossing of Sand Hill Road .
j . Arrange new parking in NE corner to align access drive with new parking drive across Sand
Hill Road . ( Concept Study A)
4 . Phasing
a . The first priority should be the construction of field #7 and related access and parking
improvements
b . Complete the construction of new fields before any substantial work on existing fields in
done . The groups are concerned about field renovation or relocation that would remove the
fields from use during the playing season .
c . Include restroom/concession building in project that constructs fields #8 and #9 .
d . Construct restroom/co n cession building at fields #4 , #5 , and #6 as soon as possible after field
#7 is constructed .
I will study the possibility of moving field # 1 to the NW prior to competing the Master Plan . I ' ll give you a
call Monday to discuss final master plan decisions .
