Pilkington, D.P.A. <br />CEO, Public Health Director <br />Cabarrus Health Alliance <br />1307 South Cannon Boulevard <br />Kannapolis, NC 28083 <br />Re: Fairground Site Evaluation <br />Cabarrus Health Alliance <br />Dear Mr. Pilkington: <br />We have completed our preliminary review of the "fairground site" as you requested. The current <br />drawings reflect a site of 3.6 acres with a 3 story building, totaling 64,310 SF. The building is built <br />on a typical spread foundation using design category B "Seismic" 2,500PSF with a design base shear <br />of 275 KIPS. The structural frame is steel and the exterior skin is masonry, glass, and metal. The <br />building has a high volume of plumbing due to its medical use. <br />The fairground site we reviewed appears to accommodate the building as designed, however it's <br />placement on the site could present major cost implications. There appears to be major mass rock <br />present on the site and the elevations reflect that major rock excavation will be encountered in site <br />grading, foundation excavation, and all site utilities. Environmental rain gardens could be cost <br />prohibitive given that the site requirements would be the same if the project changed sites to the <br />fairgrounds. <br />G -3 Page 200 <br />
