PARK BOARD <br />STAFF REPORT <br />AGENDA ITEM 6.A. <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br /> <br />MEETING DATE March 4, 2026 <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM: CLLL Proposal for Additional Ball Field at Sunrise Park <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br />There are currently 4 youth ball fields at Sunrise Park. Centennial Lakes Little League (CLLL) is <br />proposing the construction of an additional field. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />Concept plans and background information were not submitted by February 26, so staff was <br />not able to provide any specific comments pertaining to this proposal. However, staff has <br />developed a list of items for Park Board consideration: <br />• Any additional impervious surface may trigger water quality requirements. <br />• Any project that disturbs over an acre of soil requires an NPDES permit. <br />• Staff should review any proposed tree removals. <br />• This general area has been used by Centennial Soccer Club for practices in the spring <br />and summer, and Centennial football in the fall. <br />• There are approximately 128 parking spaces. Need to verify whether additional parking <br />is needed for a fifth ball field. City ordinances require hard surfacing such as asphalt or <br />concrete. Gravel is not permitted. <br />• Need a breakdown of estimated costs. <br />• What financial commitment does CLLL have, and what amount of funding is needed <br />from the City? <br />• An additional field would create additional impacts to the neighborhood. Area residents <br />should have an opportunity to comment on any expansion of Sunrise Park. <br /> <br />Mr. Pat Mahr, President of CLLL will attend the March 4 Park Board meeting to present the <br />proposal. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION / REQUESTED DIRECTION <br />If the Park Board is supportive, a formal site plan review would need to be prepared and <br />submitted. Planning Department staff would evaluate factors including required setbacks, <br />stormwater management, tree impacts and mitigation, parking requirements, etc. <br /> <br />Page 6 of 18
