DepartmentMr. KennetK^raSIrtRin K Occidental Land, Inc. Post Office Box B Newport iieach, California 92660 Dear Mr. Wassman: Attached is a survey drawing and legal description of the property desired by this school district for an elementary school site. The original 10 acres as set aside for this site was examined by repre- sentatives of the State School Planning Department and State Division of Aeronautics with recommendations by them that the site be moved eastward to higner ground. You will note, therefore, that approxi- mately 7 acres remain on property owned by your firm and the remaining 3 acres are located on property under another ownership. We will appreciate your reviewing this site to determine whether or not it is satisfactory to consider as a donation to the school 'district. The manner in which the district is handling property donations is as follows: 1. Through policies adopted by both Carlsbad City Council and the school board, residential developers are requested to make a financial contribution for school facilities in the amount of $393 per dwelling unit. 2. If land is donated for school sites, an agreement is reached as to its value and credit is then applied against the number of units at the $393 fee, which, in most instances, reduces the per unit fee. 3. After an agreement is reached, the property is then deeded to the school district free and clear of encumbrances. The Governing Board has had an opportunity to review the copies of the escrow agreements that you furnished on November 9, 1973, and upon review of the property came to the conclusion that the sales covered in your escrows were for properties that were, for the most part, sloped toward the ocean and presented a most attractive view. Mr. Kenneth Wa Occidental Land, inc. April 22, 1974 Page 2 Tha proposed school site is located easterly on relatively low ground with little value as to view. We have found that adjacent property which has been offered for sale or has been sold was in the neighbor- hood of $11,000 to $12,000, and, in some instances, included the cost of a aaster sewer system. In addition, two of our school board members have for some years been involved in land throughout the area and are somewhat acquainted with land values. Under these circumstances, it will be appreciated if you will review the property as shown on the attached survey and advise us as to your opinion of its current market price. Upon agreement with your lira and members of our school board as to the price of the property, the district will be able to then apply this value to the $393 unit fee for all proposed developments on the reminder of your land. This would then reduce the contribution fee to some figure less than $393. We regret the delays incurred concerning the establishment of this site and we appreciate your willingness to make a site available. It is very likely that you will have additional questions concerning this revised proposed school site and we will be happy to provide you with any information desired. Sincerely yours, FRED H.
