NEW BUSINESS LAND PREP COST FOR PHASE I OF THE COMMUNITY PARKS — TOM PEEK Anne Goodnight stated that Commissioner Kruse' s proposal is for Tom Peek to find out what the total cost will be for land preparation. Mr . Peek stated that he was asked to prepare the total cost for land preparation for the total park sites, and they Page 3 PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD AUGUST 17 , 1984 were trying to determine how to put everything on an even basis. He said that the items they looked at which would make an acceptable park site were utilities, elevation (for drainage) , and access to the park . He stated that he looked at the five (5) park sites, and Immokalee appears to be the most optimum of all the park sites, and it would cost nothing to bring to the level of usability. As for Marco Island, he stated that it, likewise, would cost nothing for land preparation. However , Mr . Peek said that they are more concerned with the East Naples park site; he stated that there is a waterline along Thomasson Drive, however, it requires an extension to the main portion of the property, and that some areas of elevation are -2. 25 feet. He said that it would cost approximately $300,000 for land preparation. With the survey done on the Golden Gate park, Mr . Peek said that it would require an extension of a waterline from Radio Road across Santa Barbara Boulevard to the property. He stated that his company has been working with the developers of Berkshire Lakes and Heron Lakes, who are the adjacent property owners, to see if they could get a joint venture action to extend the waterline along Santa Barbara Boulevard . He said he feels that they may be able to get a verbal agreement with the developers. If so, the approximate cost for preparation will be $238,000, and a portion of that to be contributed to the park to share the waterline is $20, 000. Mr. Peek said if an agreement cannot be met, he recommends looking into an onsite well with a temporary water treatment plant to supply the needs for the first phase and wait until some development acquires to extend the water- lines, whereas the onsite water system cost should also fall within the same dollar range. In regards to the North Naples park site, Mr. Peek I informed the Board that they would have to extend the water- , 1 line from David C. Brown Highway to the park site, which is i approximately .25 miles, and they would need to construct an Qaccess road to the site also, which would cost a total of approximately $70, 000. Mr . Peek gave a quote to the Board for the construction Page 4 i i PARKS & RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD AUGUST 17 , 1984 of putting in a ditch to separate the County' s Sewage Treatment Plant from the site.
