approach with amenities developed based on the readiness of the operators and assurance of successful integration into the City's overall park system. Financial Impact Due to the vision-oriented nature of the Draft Master Plan, it does not include the design detail necessary to generate accurate construction costs. However, staff has had interest in gaining some "order of magnitude" City cost assumptions for providing the infrastructure necessary to facilitate Sub-Area 7 Phase I operations. In response to this interest, MD Fotheringham provided the information included in the table below. Note that the numbers should be viewed as general indicators as the City has not yet commenced any detailed planning based on specific architectural design, detailed water and irrigation analysis, the inclusion of soils amenities and other matters. Oder of Magnitude Preliminary Phase I Sub-Area 7 Cost Indicator Improvement Area Cost Estimate East Parking Lot $ 164,025 Landscaping $ 372,575 (Includes most Sub-Area 7 landscaping including gathering areas, Laguna Creek Lane buffer, East Lot parking area, irrigation, Community Gardens, Learning Center, areas along the existing trail, etc.) Learning Center $ 708,950 (Includes restrooms, storage, mechanical only) Site Utility Connections $ 288,400 (Includes, electrical, water, sewer, data, etc.) Community Gardens $ 276,650 (Includes all raised beds, walkways, and misc. for the Patch program) Design and Soft Costs $ 633,710 Total $2,444,310 Note that the improvements listed above will facilitate all of Sub-Area 7 operations, such as the Demonstration Gardens, row crop operations and the remainder of the Learning Center, which will minimize the cost impact when these improvements are eventually constructed. Also, it is important to note that these estimates are based on square footage calculations and industry cost indicators. Therefore, final design and the construction environment, will impact the actual project development cost. Notwithstanding the actual cost estimates, the Draft Master Plan anticipates the City will pursue a shared funding model whereby all parties assume development and operational costs. The table below details the current funding model. Page 4
