The Lockhart Independent School District, several civic organizations, and individuals contributed to the vision, thoughts and ideas that went into this plan. A series of public hearings, citywide surveys, and one on- one- personal interviews were conducted in the spring of 1997, to determine the recreational demand and future plans of the various organizations. The Master Plan was developed using this public input in tandem with established guidelines for parks, recreation and opens space standards. The priorities and recommendations developed into this plan will guide improvements to the community's present and future parks, and recreation programs over a ten year planning period. This Plan was developed to meet the standards for park and recreational improvements pursuant to requirements of the Texas Recreation and Parks Account Local Park Program and planning guidelines used by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs under the Planning Capacity Building Program. This Plan is designed to be used as a guide for park and recreational improvements over a ten year planning period. As in any plan, this Plan needs to be updated periodically and revised as appropriate to reflect changes and to take advantage of new opportunities that will present themselves from time to time. Moreover, this Plan is not meant to be final word on this very important matter but is designed to help focus and promote a continuing discussion of the problems and possibilities inherent with park and recreational development. Prior to developing this Plan, previous planning studies conducted by the City of Lockhart were reviewed. While these previous plans recognized the need for park development, changing lifestyles and expectations have made these previous plans obsolete. The most important change that has occurred with citizens is an increased level of awareness in the community that the quality of life is driven in part by the recreational facilities available. The geographic area covered by this Plan is the City of Lockhart and the extra- territorial jurisdiction (ETJ). Normally, the future land use needs and future park requirements are derived from an analysis of areas inside the city limits and the city's ETJ. Cities have the option of extending the city limits into the ETJ at some future date. Under present state statutes, qualified communities can extend their city limits into the ETJ with or without the landowners consent. In this particular instance, there are areas outside the traditional one mile ETJ which were "annexed" into the City's ETJ upon the request of landowners. Those areas that were "annexed" into the extra -territorial jurisdiction beyond the traditional one mile ETJ encompasses only one area approximately eight miles north of Lockhart along U.S. Highway 183 to Highway 21. This area is shown on Map I 1.- It was determined not to use the "annexed" ETJ acreages in the future land use requirements because the acreages tend to skew the future park requirements. In the normal practice of annually reviewing this Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan, these "annexed" ETJ areas should be reviewed for the possibility of inclusion into the city limits at some future date. If there are indications that this may be an immediate possibility, this Master Plan will need to be updated to determine the impact on future parks and recreation requirements. II.Plan Development Process The intent of this planning process was to measure demand and identify deficiencies in the parks and recreational programs of the City of Lockhart. This Plan recognizes that Lockhart is a rapidly growing community with opportunities and problems which are unique to Lockhart. Typically there is a tendency to compare the parks and recreational programs offered by a neighboring community as the "yardstick" or unit of measure for the community. Simply put, no two communities are alike. To compare what a neighboring community offers for parks and recreational programs is not a valid comparison because park standards are not universal. If the traditional method of computing park needs were applied, Lockhart would be highly deficient in park land requirements. For this reason an attempt was made to measure recreation demand or the Level of Service (LOS)which is most appropriate for the citizens of Lockhart. In the following planning section, an extended effort over several months was made to ascertain what the citizens of Lockhart want through a series of public hearings, surveys, discussions with organized sports groups and one on one interviews with key individuals in the community. From these discussions the community standards and recommendations were derived. The groups and organizations who took part in this planning effort were the following: City of Lockhart Parks and Recreation Advisory Board City of Lockhart Parks Department Lockhart City Council Lockhart Independent School District Lockhart High School Campus Lockhart Youth Soccer Association Chisholm Trail Girl Scouts Council Lockhart/Luling Lockhart Little League Softball/ Regional Director, Region 9 State Parks Division for Lockhart State Parks Meals On Wheels Program 2 Lockhart Kiwanis Club Rodeo- Association Little Dribblers Basketball Program Lockhart Community Recreation Center Adult- Softball League,
