Atty. DEPARTMENT: Pub1 ic Works Subject : J MAGEE PARK - RENOVATION OF THE OLD BARN tNTO A FOOD COOPERATIVE Statement of the Matter The Carlsbad Senior Citizens' Association has requested that the old barn in Magee Park be retained or replaced and leased to them for use as a "farmers' market". Earlier this year, when Council considered the Magee Park development plan, staff provided an estimate, prepared in February, 1978, showing the cost of removal and replacement of the barn at $22,600. The proposal submitted by the Association is $26,959. Building Department, Fire .Department and County Health Department personnel have inspected the facility to determine whether it can be brought up to Code. It is the opinion of inspection personnel that the existing facility cannot be salvaged. The new facility, if constructed, would have be be modified to include sealed concrete floors, toilet facilities, dressisg rooms, food processing areas, etc. There would also be required modifica- tions to the interior finish of the food handling area. Additional consid- erations would be the location of the facility with regards to the parking lot, the potential need for additional parking and other modifications to handle a commercial facility. It is estimated that previous cost figures would more than double. In addition, it would be required to retain an architect to prepare construction drawings. A review of the Magee will leads staff to the conclusion that a "farmers' market" would be contrary to its provisions specifying park and recreational activities or as historical society headquarters. Violation of this provision could possibly lead to loss of the property. Exhi bits I. Letter from Carlsbad Senior Citizens' Association dated October 26, 1978 2.

A Carlsbad community cooperative could be developed under the sponsorship of the Carlsbad Senior Citizens Association, a - Produce, fruit, eggs, packaged health foods, and canned goods could be sold to all members approximately 30% less than current charge prices. L, a. b - Part-time employment will,be available to all c - A lease could be negotiated through the city .. age groups. :.* with the association that would insure income to same, 2. Would encourage community and tourist participation and visitation to the historical site. 3. Would establish a camaraderie throughout the City of Carlsbad that perhaps could be projected to other future programs. - -. - - Attached is a proposal submitted by Bee Cee Remodeling Company reflecting a rough cost of renovation. . .. - -* I Incorporated in thestateof Californi ne 25,1975 Corporate number 738726 - A Non-Profit Cornoration CARLSBAD SENIOR CITIZENS' ASSOCIATION 2945 Harding Street Carlsbad, California 92008 Phone (714) 7240484 In conversation with Mr. Osborne, Director, Building Department it was indicated.that perhaps very few of the existing materials could be used to remodel because of age of lumber and existing building codes. However, it was also reflected that perhaps a more simplified build- ing could be constructed that would be close to the design of the era of the park. It is the opinion of the Association that service clubs, churches, and other agencies could come together as one and encourage donations of materials, labor, and money to accomplish a much needed project for the Citizens of Carlsbad, Any City monies authorized for construction would be returned through the aforementioned negotiated lease with Carlsbad Senior Citizens Association. -. --.

There are numerous reasons, but mainly the structural members are overspanned, infested with termites and highly inflammable. You may salvage some of the materials but these would have to be treated and have approval from the City Building department prior to being used in another structure. DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND HOUSING RSO/gl RECEIVED 0 CT 2 5.1918. CITY, OF, CARLSBhD Engheerlng De@ MEMOWNDUM TO : City Manager FROM: Pub I i c Works Admi n i strator DATE : October 30, 1978 SUBJECT: OLD BARN AT MAGEE PARK In response to a request from the Carlsbad Senior Citizens' Association to restore the old barn at Magee Park as a food cooperative, City staff has reviewed the project to determine code requirements and project costs. A Building Department review of the structure indicates that some materi- als might be salvaged but would require special treatment for termites. The County Health Department has reviewed the structure and advised that a food handler's permit would be required to conduct a food cooperative. The following facilities would be required in the building: I. concrete floor 2. toi let faci I ities 3. dressing rooms 4. food processing area with sink 5. trash container area 6. smooth walls and ceilings in toilets and food processing area 7. screens on all windows and self-closing doors The Parks & Recreation Department has indicated that the present location of the structure is not acceptable and it should be relocated closer to the parking lot. The Fire Department has advised us that final building plans would be sub- ject to review to ensure compliance with the fire code. Plans and specifications prepared by an architect would be required since the contractor would have to be selected by the competitive bidding process. The cost estimate submitted by the Carlsbad Senior Citizens' Association does not consider relocation of the building or the modifications necessary to comply with Building, Fire and Health Department codes. An accurate estimate cannot be prepared without plans and specifications, but it is estimated the construction costs, including plans and specifica- tions, would probably more than double our previous estimate. u b%CL-, b- Ronald A.

Dear Council: 'I Dec. 7, 1978 fl I write in support of the concept of pre- serving the Magee barn in as nearly its present condition as possible. Restoration of the house has been a fine thing, and has given Calclsbad a good start on a focus point far its heritage. As a native southern Californian, I am aware of the shortage of such landmarks, and the im- portance of preserving them. I am no structural engineer, but if Mr. Kelly's assessment of the barn's condition is correct and it can be "shored up" with minimal changes and expense, that, in my opinion, js certainly what should be done. And what better group to take this over than the Carlsbad His- torical Scciety? H. C. Cfegg 2235 &ob Hill Dr. Carlsbad, Ca.
