CONFIDENTIAL -2-
ADMIN. 46 - 83
The proposed 4 acre parcel, the location and dimensions of which
were discussed with Mrs. B. Metcalf, has been appraised at a value
of $14,650.00 strictly on the basis of its value as agricultural
land assuming the Town was to initiate an expropriation. Regional
Appraisal Staff suggest that a higher negotiated purchase in the
$20,000 to $25,000 range would not be unreasonable.
Please see Mr. G. Post's letter of August 5 1983 to D. N. Smith.
If Council wishes to proceed with the purchase of the property,
using the funds held by the Town from the acquisition by Ontario Hydro
of the former Baseline Community Centre, staff feel it would be
appropriate to proceed as follows:
1. Authorize staff to negotiate an offer of purchase with
E. and H. Witzke at a maximum purchase price of $25,000
to include legal,appraisal and survey costs.
The offer to be conditional on:
a) Soil tests proving septic tank and building suitability; and
b) Applications being accepted by the Province for Community
Centre and Wintario Grants.
2. Authorize staff to submit applications for grants noted above,
and to arrange for the necessary soil tests. Staff note that the
project may be eligible for partial funding as a new capital work
and that, as in the past, it would be appropriate to file
applications for funding (or to receive an indication of eligibility)
prior to the closing of the conveyance.
3. On acquisition of the property it would be appropriate to request
the Community Centre's consulting architect to revise the existing
construction drawings as necessary and to prepare a revised
project cost estimate.
4. On completion of the revisions, which may be minor in nature,
and provided the cost estimate is within budget, then it would
be appropriate to call tenders for construction of the proposed -
Coninunity Hall.
Respectfully submitted,

RE: Appraisal Report
Proposed Community Centre Site
�,. Part Lot 18, Concession 1
Town of Newcastle
(formerly Township of Darlington)
Enclosed is a copy of the appraisal report prepared on the
above property. The Market Value of $14,650.00 is based on
the premise that this would be the cost of the land if the
Town expropriated it.
It does not take into consideration any legal or
expropriating costs which could easily exceed $10,000.00. A
negotiated settlement in the $20,000.00 to $25,000.00 price
range would therefore seem reasonable.
If you have any further queries, please contact the writer
at the above number.
Yours tru y,
