The following information regarding the acquisition, development, and operation of the surplus school site has been campiled for your � use. � The market value appraisal of the 161,209 square foot site was out7ind in a letter to Doug Ford from Jene Sigvertsen of the School District. The School District's appraisal placed a value of $521,500 on the property if the land and building were to be used as a school facility. Without the buiTding the resi- . dentially zoned site was valued at $322,418. We can acquire the land from the School District for $1.00. Based on current information provided by Jene Sigvertsen af the School District, the 1979-80 fiscal year b�dget for maintenance and operation of the facility as a school is estimated at $47,000. . . Budget items include: Energy (steam heat, gas or oil fuei ) $I9,256.00 Security ' 534.00 Waste Removal 577.00 Janitars (1.5 FTE) 25,773.00 Other I,970.00 TOTAL 47,OOO,QO The school building has 26,000 gross square feet and 19,900 net square feet of space divided into the following rooms: 2 Kindergartens . 18 Classrooms 1 Gym 1 General Office 1 Health Suite 1 Teachers' Lounge 1 Principal 's Office The Parks and Recreation Division has no use for the school buiiding and it would be our recommendation that the building be demolished to clear the site far devel- opment. Both the neighborhood and the division have proposed that the site be _ developed as a passive recreation area. The total cost of $235,001 for development of the site includes: ' d.. � • 'i����l� ',X li.i �.�'A � y•�-, George Latimer Page 2 October 23, 1979 ` Preliminary Design $ 3,000.00 Construction Plan 15,000.00 Acquisition 1,00 Demolition 62,Oa0.00 Site Development , 150,000.00 Inspection 5,000.00 TOTAL 235,0O1.OG The increased cost in the city budget for the maintenance and operation of the passive recreation site will be about $5,500 per year. This includes a part time groundsman ($4,000 per year) and utilities and supplies ($I,500 per year) to maintain a passive recreation site with a floaded ice rink and lighted walkways.
