First Colony Community Services Association CHAPTER I - INTRODUCTION
Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Master Plan
December 1999 In 1999, First Colony Community Services Association, Inc. commissioned a
parks master plan to help guide them through the following fifteen years. The
Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Master Plan has served as a guiding
document for the budgeting, planning and implementation of many of the projects
addressed in the master plan. Under a new name, the First Colony Community
Association (FCCA) has accomplished many of the prioritized projects along with
additional improvements and deemed it necessary to take a fresh look at the
parks and aquatic amenities currently available to their residents.
The 2009 Amenities and Aquatics Assessment is an update to the original

master plan completed in 1999. It not merely focused on the amenities that
need to be improved or updated, but rather takes a global look at the types
of amenities within FCCA, what people currently want and the value those
amenities add to the community at large versus the cost of providing them.
In conjunction with the 2009 Amenities and Aquatics Assessment, Creative
Consumer Research has been hired to conduct the 2009 FCCA Resident Survey.
Information gathered in the survey will provide a source of public input regarding
amenities and aquatic facilities within the community.
AQUATICS AMENITIES ASSESSMENT
The first step in the analysis and study dealt with the Aquatic Amenities within
FCCA. Developed with a certain set of priorities in the 1980s and 1990s, the
pools fit the needs of the developer and those times. Today, aquatics are
perceived by the public in a different way and FCCA acknowledges the need
to take a hard look at each of the pools - their costs to operate compared to
their value to the community, their assets and usage versus their issues and
capacity. The purpose of this assessment is to determine if there is a more cost
efficient way to provide residents with greater amenities to be enjoyed by more
users. Once a determination has been made to the continued value of each as
an aquatics amenity, some sites may need to be reprogrammed for an alternate
recreational use.
First Colony Community Association - Amenities Master Plan I-1

PARKS AMENITIES ASSESSMENT
Following the aquatics assessment, the focus turned to other park facilities within
FCCA as well as any sites where the determination is made to eliminate existing
aquatic facilties. The association must work primarily within the existing inventory
of sites to meet the current and future needs of their residents. In addition, the
cities of Sugar Land and Missouri City continue to develop parks and trails that
benefit the residents and offset the need for FCCA to provide private facilities.
Each of the available sites was studied on an individual basis and as part of a
community-wide system of amenities. While some recommendations will be to
improve or renovate current amenities within the parks, others may suggest to
reprogram the site completely to meet current and future recreational needs.
INPUT
Input for the project was provided by a random survey conducted by Creative
Consumer Research (CCR) to provide public input about the needs and desires
of the residents of FCCA. Additionally the planning team worked extensively
with both FCCA staff and Board of Directors. Information obtained through these
sources along with the investigation of the existing amenities and the ability to
cross reference future work shown in both Missouri City and Sugar Land’s Parks
Master Plans provided valuable insight into the needs of the community.

Existing Park Locations
MASTER PLAN
After assessing both aquatic and park amenities

and analyzing input from public sources as well as
those responsible for the daily funding and upkeep
of these amenities, an overall master plan has
been developed to guide FCCA through the next
ten years. The master plan or the programming
of each of the sites and amenities is an approved
document by the Board of Directors and will help
the staff focus on improvements and changes
that should be made within the park system.
As each of the noted projects come online for
implementation they should begin with a design
phase. As progression into the ten years covered
by this master plan continues FCCA should check
or confirm that assumptions made in 2009 are still
valid.
COST ESTIMATING AND PHASING
An important aspect of the master plan is to guide

FCCA in developing budgets for renovations and
capital projects. The cost estimates allow for
design and construction contingencies in order to
anticipate changes that will need to be made as
the amenities continue to age as well as address
inflation for design and construction in future years.
The phasing of the projects provides a framework

to spread out the cost of improvements over a
manageable time period for funding purposes. The
Accomplishments section from the 1999 master
plan shows FCCA has been diligent in addressing
and completing priorities in their anticipated
phases.

CHAPTER II - AQUATICS AMENITIES ASSESSMENT
An array of recreational amenities is one reason to live in a master planned

community such as First Colony. Residents of FCCA neighborhoods are
accustomed to enjoying these amenities. Unfortunately, given the current pool
facilities usage is very low, costs of operations and maintenance increase and
the need for renovation continues to rise.
FCCA operates eight leisure swimming pool and two specialty pools. The
Aquatic Center which accommodates the swim team and lap swimming, operates
year round and has recently been renovated. This study will not evaluate the
needs or usage of this facility.
Magnolia Plantation
The Magnolia Plantation pool is a popular facility focusing solely on the youngest
children in FCCA. It has an aquatic playground for pre-school children and
provides slides and spray toys in a very shallow pool. Because this pool is
geared solely toward the younger users, families with children of varied ages
would not be able to easily utilize this pool. However, this pool is highly used by
families whose children fall within this limited age group.
The remaining eight pools are more generic in nature for swimming and each
have a small wading pool for the younger children. The following pages
document the nine pools that this study focuses on.

swimming Key Map

It is important to note the pools designed and built in the 1980s and 1990s served
their purpose and were at the time typical of aquatic amenities found in other
master planned communities in the area. The pools are neighborhood oriented
and currently the majority of the residents of FCCA live within a half mile radius of
a pool. These facilities were designed to provide basic swimming pool with few if
any additional aquatic amenities.
In order to attract buyers newer master planned communities are providing more
centralized pool complexes that offer greater amenities. The trends include
beach entries (zero depth), slides, spray toys, lazy rivers, waterfalls and lap
lanes. Providing greater amenities within the aquatics facilities attract users and
keep them at the pools for a longer time therefore utilizing paid staff at a greater
level.

POOL USAGE
The most current set of data available to study is the 2008 hourly attendance numbers available through FCCA. These numbers are derived
from the hourly pool counts made by the staff and show how many users were at a pool during each hour of its operation. Figures shown
below are therefore noted as Hourly Usage rather than a Users Count since a person staying an extended amount of time may have been
present during multiple pool counts.
Estimated 2008 Maximum Percent Usage Percent Usage

Woodstream 8,250 84,574 13.80% 10%
Total 59,797 812,100

POOL COSTS
Several costs are associated with the continued operation of the swimming pools in FCCA. The daily operation and maintenance (O & M)
costs of the pools include water, electricity, telephone, chemicals for the maintenance of the pool and operational expenses for cleaning and
maintaining the pools and restrooms. In addition, the O & M costs cover the salaries and expenses of the staff/life guards.
FCCA also has a line item for each pool from their reserve budgets to cover repairs/renovations for the pools and equipment/buildings. The
combination of these two lines items is the total cost for each of the pools. Using the costs and usage from 2008 we determined the cost
per usage hour. Because Magnolia Plantation is a specialty pool and its usage tends to skew calculations for the remaining eight pools,
Magnolia Plantation is separated.

Over the next five years FCCA has budgeted $578,556 in repairs and improvements to their nine pools. The breakdown per pool is shown
below.
Swimming Pool 5 Year Total 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
Alcorn Oaks $57,582.00 $5,665.00 $2,652.00 $15,353.00 $7,597.00 $26,315.00

Total $578,556.00
In addition to the five year reserve contributions of $578,556 an estimate of $1.8 million for O & M (based on 2008 costs) comes to a total
estimate of approximately $2.5 million being spent on nine pools during this time period. Swimming pools, although a tremendous amenity
for the residents of FCCA are expensive to operate and it is incumbent on the management and Board of Directors of FCCA to manage the
money and amenities wisely for the enjoyment of the residents and the home values of the community.

CHAPTER III - PARKS AMENITIES ASSESSMENT
The park amenities within FCCA are spread out amongst the neighborhoods with
many being no larger than a typical residential lot that the developer left open for
a park. The challenge which FCCA has started to address is which parks make
sense to keep as parks and which should just become open green space. Since
the 1999 master plan two of the park sites that did not make sense as park sites
have been changed from parks to open green space.
The focus of this Amenities Assessment is to determine which sites should

continue to serve as parks and what amenity is needed in each. As
neighborhoods have aged and demographics changed it is important to take a
Aquatic Center Sprayground fresh look at what FCCA provides and maintains in their park system.

community and have been successful in similar
master planned communities. It is important
to tie FCCA amenities into the city park and
trail networks of Missouri City and Sugar Land
where opportunities exist so that the residents
can take full advantage of all the recreational
facilities available to them.
Missouri City provides the following facility near

FCCA neighborhoods:
1. Oyster Creek Trail

CHAPTER IV - PUBLIC INPUT
In conjunction with the Amenities Master Plan

Update, CCR conducted a survey of the residents
of FCCA. The complete survey is available
through FCCA, but the portion which pertains to
the pools and recreational amenities is contained
in the following pages. A brief synopsis of the data
reveals the following:
1. 60% of the respondents are open to the idea

2009 Resident Amenities Survey of developing new amenities to maintain their
property value. They have the desire for their
community to evolve and stay up-to-date.
2. 78% of the respondents are supportive

Prepared by: (somewhat to strongly support) of the idea of
closing a pool if they are used less than 50%
of capacity and cost more than $10 per user to
operate.
www.ccrsurveys.com
3. Respondents are currently willing to drive more
May, 2009 than 10 minutes to get to a pool or park amenity
in FCCA and the majority of respondents already
drive to pools.
4. Respondents would use pools more if they

included the following: Lazy rivers, shade, slides
and beach entries.
5. The Aquatic Center (park) generated the largest

visitation percentage (43% of all respondents).
6. A connected system of hike and bike trails

generated overwhelming interest.

Proposed Park Locations
CHAPTER V - MASTER PLAN
The master plan update first looked at existing

swimming pools to determine use and cost of
operation and what would be acceptable for
the community in the future. It was determined
that fewer, but more amenitized pools would be
acceptable to FCCA and put the community on
par with newer master planned communities in the
area.
The elimination of several of the existing pools

frees up land for more appropriate neighborhood
recreational amenities. It is the intent of this
master plan update to give residents something
they have not had before - a playground becomes
a “destination themed playground”, a small water
sprayground expands and provides an outdoor
opportunity in several new geographic locations
and a small underutilized tot lot becomes a passive
park (ranks high among the respondents to the
survey).
