The property was <br />previously under contract for a residential subdivision, but due to some subsurface <br />conditions, the developer released his option to purchase. We have contacted the owner's <br />representative and they have supplied us with the Environmental Phase I report, a survey, a <br />geotechnical report, and a rock volume map. We have solicited a proposal for a site <br />feasibility study and received a quote of $3,600 for development of a site plan utilizing the <br />Cox Mill High School program and placing it onsite to see if it would fit based on mapped <br />rock locations and minimizing its impact on our ability to develop the site as a high school. <br />Additionally, we may need some further surveys /borings, a property appraisal, and some <br />earnest money for the purchase of a due diligence period. <br />The Cabarrus County School System would like to ask the County to consider funding the site <br />evaluation study, an appraisal, and some earnest money which allow additional time to <br />formulate an offer to purchase. Total funding requested is $20,000. We understand that the <br />financing and construction funding for the project may be available in future, but we would <br />like to secure the site as soon as possible. Thank you for your consideration of our request. <br />Sincerely, <br />G.
