Submitted by: Davi . Crome, M.C.I.P., R.P.P Director of Planning Services I L/FL/df/sn 27 October 2008 U~~e~ Reviewed by: Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T 905-623-3379 F 905-623-0830 REPORT NO.: PSD-111-08 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 The Ministry of Education establishes the rules and procedures for the sale of surplus school properties within Ontario. When a school site is to be sold it must be offered first at fair market value to a number of prescribed agencies including the municipality in which the property is located. Should none of these agencies have an interest in the property it is then listed for sale on the open market. 1.2 The Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic District School Board have contacted the Municipality in regards to the sale of the St. Stephen's Elementary School site at 80 Rhonda Boulevard, Bowmanville (Attachment 1). The school was operated as a school until June of 2007. It functioned as a full time day care facility between September 2007 and September 2008 with approximately 25% of the building being occupied. The building totals 2274.2 square metres (24,480 sq ft). It is a two storey brick structure built in 1977 and is located on a 1.25 hectare lot. 1.3 The offer from the Board is included as Attachment 2. It provides a brief description of the improvements to the building, a site plan and a floor plan. An asbestos report is available but it was not provided to the Municipality with the offer. The property was appraised at $970,000 as of October 3, 2008. A new elementary school has been constructed at 125 Aspen Springs Drive rendering this site redundant. 2.0 COMMENTS 2.1 This property was not identified in the Municipality's Land Acquisition Strategy. The offer from the Board has been reviewed by all Municipal Departments and no public use has been identified for the site. 2.2 St. Stephen's School is adjacent to Rhonda Park. The neighbourhood in which the school is located is serviced by both Rhonda Park and Optimist Park. The combined area of these two parks, and their facilities, exceed the standards outlined in the Clarington Official Plan for neighbourhood parks to population ratio. In discussion with the Manager of Parks and Development it has been indicated that adding additional property to Rhonda Park will not significantly increase its viability as it currently has a playground and a soccer field. Optimist Park, which is located on Waverley Road, has a full baseball court, a soccer field and a baseball field. There are sufficient park services available in the neighbourhood and additional land for park facilities is not required. REPORT NO.: PSD-111-08 PAGE 3 3.0 CONCLUSION The offer to purchase has been reviewed and as there is no identified use or funding allocated for the purchase of the property. It is recommended that the Offer to Purchase the site from the Peterborough Victoria Northumberland Clarington Catholic District School Board be DECLINED.
