following terms and conditions which may be enforced through a reversionary right in
the property reserved to the United States of America:
This application and its acceptance by the National Park Service shall constitute the

modified and approved in writing by both parties. This agreement becomes binding
once the instrument of conveyance has been executed by the applicant. The applicant
is required to duly record the instrument of conveyance in a timely manner.
The description of the property set forth herein is believed to be correct, but any error or
omission shall not constitute ground or reason for nonperformance of the agreement
resulting from the acceptance of this application.
1. The Applicant understands and agrees that the property is to be conveyed "as is"
and "where is" without representation, warranty, or guaranty as to quantity, quality,
character, condition, size, or kind, or that the same is in condition or fit to be used
for the purpose intended and no claim for any adjustment upon such grounds will be
considered after this application has been accepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the United States is bound by any covenants contained in the deed regarding
Section 120(h) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. §9620(h).
2. The Applicant agrees to assume constructive possession of the property upon
receipt of written notification from the National Park Service. Should the Applicant

conveyance, which ever occurs first, the Applicant shall assume responsibility for
any general and special real and personal property taxes, which may have been or
may be assessed on the property, and to prorate sums paid, or due to be paid, by

instruments, in a form satisfactory to the National Park Service without warranty,
express or implied, and shall contain substantially, but may not be limited to, the
following reservations, restrictions, and conditions:

for the implementation of an approved Program of Utilization or the operation of
park and recreation facilities and programs on the property. After the Program of
Utilization is fully implemented, and as long as the property is properly and
sufficiently operated and maintained, the revenue may be used only for other
public park and recreational purposes by the Grantee. Any revenue received by
the Grantee which is generated through the operation of the property shall be
listed and accounted for in its biennial reports to the National Park Service.

DESCRIPTION
PART B DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY PART 1—A B C &D
Instructions for Completing Part B:
(A) Narrative: Provide a physical description of the property, including existing
improvements (structures, buildings, recreation facilities, roads, etc.) and key
geographic features (typography, vegetative cover, water bodies, outstanding
natural features, etc.)
The North Housing Parcel, 42 Additional Acres at Naval Air Station (NAS), lies at
the western tip of the island of Alameda and is bordered by the Oakland Inner
Harbor to the north, San Francisco Bay to the south and west and the City of
Alameda to the east. The island of Alameda is located along the bayshore of
Alameda County separated from the East Bay by the Oakland Estuary. The City
of Oakland is to the north and east and the Metropolitan Oakland International
Airport and the City of San Leandro are to the south.
In 1993, NAS Alameda, City of Alameda, California, was designated for closure
pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, Public Law
101-510, as amended. Pursuant to this designation, the majority of the land and
facilities at the installation were declared surplus to the needs of the federal
government on May 20, 1994. NAS was operationally closed in 1997.
The property now referred to as the North Housing Parcel was originally planned
as a Federal-to-Federal transfer to the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and was
therefore not included in the May 20, 1994 surplus determination. The USCG
subsequently withdrew its request to acquire title to the property. The
Department of the Navy has determined that the North Housing Parcel is surplus
government property and is potentially available for public use.
The North Housing Parcel offers 42 acres of surplus property and includes
buildings and other improvements as follows: (1) Family housing units built
around 1969 (multi-family structures with 282 individual housing units totaling
approximately 440,010 square feet) (2) Approximately eight acres of outdoor
recreational facilities (3) Paved areas (roads) and other surface areas (sidewalks,
sewer, etc.).
The City of Alameda is submitting this application to request approximately eight
acres of Parcel 1A to rehabilitate existing outdoor recreation facilities for use of
the existing baseball field and two soccer fields. The City seeks the acquisition
of eight acres within the North Housing Parcel to offset a need by a variety of
youth sports organizations.
10
(B) Maps: Provide a map of the property that you are requesting. The map should show
the property boundary, existing improvements (structures, buildings, recreation facilities,
roads, etc.), and key geographic features (typography, vegetative cover, water bodies,
outstanding natural features, etc.). If you are applying for a portion of the total surplus
Federal property, include a map that shows the property requested in relation to the
entire site. include a locus map that shows the location of the surplus Federal property
in its larger geographic context.
The City is requesting approximately eight acres of Parcel 1 A to rehabilitate the
existing outdoor recreational facilities (one baseball field and two soccer fields).
Attachment A identifies the property requested in relation to the entire site. A
locus map (Attachment A -1) shows the location of the surplus Federal property in
its larger geographic context.
(C) Legal Description: Provide a legal survey description of the property by metes and
bounds survey. A legal description may be available from the disposal agency. If this
information is not available, we will request that you survey the property when we are
confident you will be the recipient, In that case, the legal description may be submitted
subsequent to the application.
Attachment B provides the legal description of the property by metes and bounds
survey.
(D) Photographs: Provide representative photographs of the property being requested,
showing topography, roads, buildings, facilities, improvements, and points of special
interest.
See Attachment C
Photographs are attached for reference.
PROGRAM OF UTILIZATION — PART 2 — A, B, C, & D
Discussion of the information requested in the following sections should be interrelated
and consistent, For example, a building or facility which is described in the Narrative
should be listed in the Schedule of Development and identified on the Site Plan. The
Program of utilization must be stated in the affirmative; the proposed uses and
developments may not be conjectural or conditional.
(a) Narrative: Provide a thorough description of the proposed recreational use(s) and
development of the property requested. Describe the new facilities to be developed, if
any, as well as the proposed reuse, alteration, demolition, or renovation of any existing
11
buildings, facilities, and improvements. Explain any recreational or related programs,
activities, and services proposed for the property. Discuss any anticipated third party
agreements for providing services on the property or for managing any aspect of it,
The City of Alameda is submitting this application to request approximately eight
acres of Parcel 1 A consisting of existing outdoor recreational facilities to obtain
use of the existing baseball field and two soccer fields. The City seeks the
acquisition of eight acres within the North Housing Parcel to offset a need by a
variety of youth sports organizations and to provide a recreational venue for
individuals and families that may come to live in the other 32 acres at the North
Housing Parcel, and existing families in USCG units. The site will also serve
future neighborhoods at Alameda Landing, as well as Alameda's west-end, where
the population growth is expected to occur. The City of Alameda Recreation and
Park Department parks are open and available for public use between dawn and
dusk (sunrise and sunset) and these terms will apply to the proposed outdoor
recreational facilities.
The proposed site has been underused and neglected for several years.
Improvements will be required to return the park land to a safe and playable
condition. Irrigation repairs and the installation of new turf will be provided for
soccer fields and will be funded by the City of Alameda.
Miracle League, a non-profit organization that provides a safe organized baseball
league and facilities for children with mental and/or physical challenges, has
expressed interest in using the baseball field (Attachment D). If the Miracle
League enters into a concession agreement with the City, it will be responsible
for funding the renovation to make the baseball field ADA accessible and
playable for its program. The field would have restricted use to comply with
Miracle League's schedule. The field would be available for other uses when not
used by the Miracle League. If Miracle League does not entered into a
concession agreement, the City of Alameda Recreation and Park Department will
improve the field and make arrangements with local non-profit sports
organizations to use the field for their programs.
The Recreation and Park Department will administer the proposed eight acres of
outdoor recreational facilities in the same manner as the 225 acres in our existing
inventory. The site will be scheduled for use by a variety of local non-profit
sports organizations and will remain accessible to the general public during all
other hours. Non-profit organizations may be requested to pay a maintenance fee
depending on the terms of the use agreement.
(b) Schedule of Development: Prepare a tentative time frame for the development
(including the reuse, alteration, demolition, or renovation) of buildings, facilities, and
improvements on the property. Provide a schedule of development indicating what and
when development will take place, how long the development will require, and the
estimated annual capital improvement costs. The period of development should
12
commence no later than one year from the date of conveyance of the property and
should not normally exceed a consecutive five -year period. Plans for development
beyond the initial five -year period should be submitted to the National Park Service in
the future as amendments to the Program of Utilization, as provided in Term and
Condition 7(b) of Part A.
It is estimated that it would take approximately 60 days to accomplish upgrades
and renovations required to return the soccer fields to a playable condition and
commence the proposed program.
The project proposed by the Miracle League is scheduled to begin immediately
after the land is conveyed. This includes upgrades required to adapt the field for
children with mental and/or physical challenges.
(c) site Plan: Provide a site plan of the proposed use and development of the property,
including the location of buildings, facilities, and improvements discussed above, in the
case of buildings and other enclosed structures, provide generalized floor plans
indicating the proposed recreational use of the interiors. Indicate where the principal
access roads will be located to and within the property, as well as public parking areas,
if applicable. Please do not include detailed architectural or engineering plans with the
application unless otherwise requested.
The City is requesting approximately eight acres of Parcel 1A to rehabilitate the
outdoor recreational facilities (one baseball field and two soccer fields). The site
plan is attached with the requested portion of Parcel 1A highlighted for reference
(Attachment E).
(d) Historic Preservation Plan: If the property or portion thereof, is listed on or is eligible
for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, the applicant must coordinate
with the State Historic Preservation Officer and National Park service to address the
requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. Provide
information on the historic preservation plan, including a statement and supporting
documentation from the State Historic Preservation Officer showing that the Program of
Utilization meets the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as
amended. Please refer to Terms and Conditions 10 and 11 in Part A.
On April 2, 2009, the State Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO) sent a letter to
the Navy approving the Navy's request that the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for
the transfer and reuse of the North Housing Parcel, Naval Air Station, Alameda be
defined as the entire footprint of the North Housing Parcel and approximately
eight acres of open space north of Mosley Avenue [Estuary Park]. sH PO also
concurred with the Navy's plan for ongoing consultation for this undertaking.
On April 28, 2009, the Navy sent a letter to all of the consulting parties, and SHPO,
requesting comments on its finding of `ono historic properties affected"
consistent with 36 CFR 8OO.4(d)(1)(i). The Navy requested that comments be
13
submitted within 30 days. SHP() has not yet submitted its comments. The City
will update DOUNPS when it is notified of SHPO concurrence with the Navy's
finding of no historic properties affected.
NEED PART 3 A, B, C, & D
Provide a statement explaining the current and future need for the property, including a
justification for each building, facility, and improvement to be acquired, if any. This
section should also include the following information:
(a) Current population and growth trends within the surrounding area, including
recreation patterns and relevant social and economic conditions.
The City of Alameda is an island community located on the western shore of the
San Francisco Bay. The city currently provides 2.2 acres of parkland per 1,000
residents which is substantially below the national standard of 10 acres per 1,000
residents for our population. Alameda is an urban community with very few
opportunities to add to its inventory of open space. The addition of this open
space would assist in reducing the critical shortage of turf space currently being
experienced by the city.
The proposed land use would be an asset to the surrounding area with minimal
impact. This land use will serve as an amenity to families that may come to live in
the surplus acreage at the North Housing Parcel, existing families in the USCG
housing units, the future neighborhoods of Alameda Landing, and serve the
West-end neighborhood where population growth is projected to occur.
(b) A description of existing park and recreation areas and facilities in the surrounding
area, including type, acreage, recreational uses, and other pertinent information.
A description of existing park and recreation areas and facilities in the
surrounding area are listed on the table below:

and objectives relating to public park and recreational use. Describe how the property
will meet current and future recreational demands. Please do not attach planning or
policy documents.
The City of Alameda is an island community Iocated on the western shore of the
San Francisco Bay. The city currently provides 2.2 acres of parkland per 1,000
residents which is substantially below the national standard of 10 acres per 1,000
residents for our population. Alameda is an urban community with very few
opportunities to add to its inventory of open space.
This land use will serve as an amenity to families that may come to live in the .
surplus acreage at the North Housing Parcel, existing families in the USCG
housing units, the future neighborhoods of Alameda Landing, serve the West -end
neighborhood where population growth is projected to occur in the City of
Alameda, and ease the shortage of athletic fields due to the expansion of
traditional sport seasons to nearly year -round status and the explosion of
women's sports opportunities in recent years.
(d) Anticipated annual volume of public use for the property.
Access to this field space would serve approximately 2,500 youth annually from
various sports programs, not including individuals participating in the Miracle
League Program.
SUITABILITY — PART 4 — A, B, C, & D
Provide a statement explaining the suitability of the property for the proposed
recreational use as determined by:
(a) Appropriateness of the property in terms of its physical characteristics (size,
configuration, topography, water bodies, vegetation, etc.) for the intended public
recreational development and use, including notable scenic, natural, or historic
resources that may contribute to public enjoyment and education.
I5

Lou Gehrig
:EhEro
The Alameda EastBay Miracle League (AEBML) is submitting a proposal. to build the
Alameda EastBay Miracle League Park at the existing Estuary Park on the form_er
Coast Guard Housing site.
The Alameda EastBay Miracle League is a non-profit organization with the mission to
provide the opportunity for differently-abled children and young adults to play
'baseball on a field that is designed for their access and success. Our dream is to
build the first Miracle League field in Northern California and expand that field to
include a 'boundless playground', snack bar, picnic area, td parking.
To bring this park to fruition, The Alameda EastBay Miracle League will need to
secure land including the existing baseball field at Estuary Park and all the available
property south of that field.
The Baseball Field and Park
Construction of the baseball field would include surfacing the existing field bed with
a foundation material and covering it with a rubberized, all-weather, low
maintenance material that will allow easy access for players with mobility issues.
This field construction would include accessible dug outs and bleacher seating as
well as a backstop and outfield fence. In addition to the ball field we plan to build a
"boundless playground" accessible to all children. The existing outbuilding on the
property would be razed and replaced with a prefab building housing a concession
stand and accessible restrooms, with an adjoining picnic area.
While the Miracle League baseball field is smaller than a typical field, we hope it is a
baseball field that is in constant operation, year-round. This includes being used by
T-ball teams, Special Olympics, wheel chair soccer and Adult Leagues.
Cost mid gJndrdin
Based on other Miracle League construction costs, we estimate the cost for building
the field, restrooms, concession stand, and picnic area to be approximately
$716,163.00. We have recently started applying for financial assistance from local
grants and foundations. While we have a major commitment from Catellus, as well
as funding from the Oakland Athletics, aggressive fund raising will commence once
we secure a site. If we were to have the entitlement of the property before the year's
end we believe we could have the field completed in Spring of 2009.

Proposal
Alameda East Bay Miracle League Park
St.ippjal
The AEBML has completed two years of community awareness. We have built
partnerships with the Alameda Rotary Club, the Ki.wanis Club, and the
Catellus/Prologis Company. We have received the endorsement of the Alameda
Recreation and Parks Commission, the Alameda School Board, the Golf Commission,
and Alameda's Commission on Disability Issues. We have received the support of the
Planning Board, the City Council, Mayor Johnson, Assemblywoman Wilma. Chan,
and Alameda County Supervisor Alice Lai Bitker.
The Reason
In Alameda alone, there are 300 youth with physical and developmental challenges
significant enough to preclude them from accessing Our .fields, parks, a.nclior our
local teams. An example is, Nicholas Simpson, an Alameda 5th grader who has the
spirit of a true athlete despite being born with genetic disorder affecting, among other
things, his vision and hearing. He loves baseball, hopes to play for the SF Giants,
and should be an inspiration and a reminder to all of us. In partnership with the
City of Alameda we can make a.difference in Nicholas's life, and in the lives of special
children like him. Let's work as a community to make certain all children have the
chance to play.
Respectfully Submitted,
