• Site development costs should be a criteria ( line) of its own . <br /> DRA will estimate that cost. <br /> Site utilities, domestic water - 151 site already has a 12" main <br /> accessible. Site utilities will determine adequacy and cost. <br /> Last week DRA presented 2 proposals for each site, should the <br /> selection be divided into 4 choices? <br /> Mr. Franceschi stated their charge is to determine which site to <br /> acquire. DRA is not designing the project and they don ' t want to <br /> lock the Town into a certain scheme but they will show that <br /> different schemes are possible and demonstrate that it will work. <br /> Peter responded that the Committee must determine how much to <br /> budget to acquire the land. <br /> Joe suggested another line item under Acquisition Costs could be <br /> added - North end property cost, South end property cost and <br /> same idea for 151 site. <br /> Ms. Ahlgren stated the EFNC recommended the Town purchase a site <br /> large enough for an elementary school , is the site large enough <br /> for an elementary school? It can be added to the criteria under <br /> Area. <br /> Mr. Dinizio added the 151 site will have to take into account the <br /> proposed performing arts center. <br /> • Does the Committee have to have a general idea of where to site <br /> the building when it goes to Town Meeting? <br /> DRA has presented options, to show the site can accommodate a <br /> high school . DRA can give a similar presentation to Town Meeting <br /> as they did to this Committee to show the property is flexible <br /> and the high school can happen in different ways. <br /> Mr. Franceschi mentioned if the town purchases less than the full <br /> site it may cut down on the options, the flexibility. <br /> Mr. Griffin mentioned the RFP is to evaluate only 2 sites, does <br /> it allow them to evaluate 4 proposals? That is asking them to do <br /> a lot .more work. Mr . Dinizio responded it is information this <br /> Committee needs to have. DRA has already started the ground work <br /> on that. <br /> Bussing costs should be added to the matrix. <br /> The Committee reviewed again the 4 proposed site plans so they <br /> can begin to envision how to fill the matrix. <br /> A. 151 Site - it showed the area for a sewage treatment plant <br /> and area for a future elementary school . There is a built in <br /> buffer along the river and they recommend adding to it. The <br /> ballfields are "overlay" fields. It has minimal connection with <br /> the future elementary school and none with the proposed <br /> performing arts center. <br /> • Access to the performing arts center or to the remaining Fields <br /> 2 <br />
