(A) WCSD Selected Site - APN 508-010-01 (80-acre portion of 640 acre parcel) – Owned by BLM. This property was identified approximately 15 years ago as the most likely location for a new middle school in Sun Valley. Water and sewer lines are adjacent and the Sun Valley GID has anticipated serving this parcel since it was originally identified. Water, sewer, gas and electrical facilities are immediately adjacent to the property. 80% of the site is sloped at 15% or less, which provides for a developable property.

(B) APN 502-700-05 (43.85-acres) – Owned by Sun Valley GID and tentatively offered as a potentially free site to WCSD. This property is encumbered by excessive slopes and is incised with several large drainage channels. Access is very limited with major improvements to W. 7th Avenue likely needed to provide safe and adequate ingress and egress to the site. Development costs for this property are estimated to far exceed those of the BLM property under primary consideration by WCSD. Water, sewer, gas and electrical utilities would need to be constructed to the site as they are not readily available.

(C) APN 085-211-03 (26-acres) – Owned by Washoe County, developed as a park with ballfields, BMX track, swimming pool and community center. At a minimum, the BMX track and the swimming pool would be displaced by the school facilities. WCSD would likely have to compensate the County for the property and potentially identify replacement properties for the displaced uses.

(D) APN 085-122-03 (15.33-acres) – Owned by Landbank Development LLC. WCSD pursued this site in approximately 2006 to acquire this parcel and one adjacent 3.47-acre piece (085-122-04), which is now owned by the LDS church. Both properties were originally one parcel of almost 19-acres that could have served as a middle school site. However, the LDS church out-bid WCSD for the rights to their current portion of the property (WCSD can only pay appraised value per NRS). The remaining 15.33-acres is too small and too constrained for a middle school facility.

(E) APN 035-080-05 (318-acres) – Owned by BLM. Would require a new Recreation & Public Purposes Act application that may or may not be approved. The property is not listed for disposal by BLM. Access to the street network, water and sewer is very limited. Encumbered by slopes and drainage ways. Property is located partially outside the Truckee Meadows Service Area and the completely outside the Sun Valley General Improvement District service area.

mountain lion, and pronghorn antelope have potential to occur.• Surrounding area is largely urbanized, with open areas to the north.• Given abundant open space surrounding and to possibly remain outside of campus footprint, no

impacts are anticipated.

Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act:• Survey of site prior to construction activities during nesting season (generally January 1 to September 15)• Mitigation may include buffers and/or modified construction schedule

Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment• Minimal staining observed in numerous locations where equipment is stored.• Leaking electrical transformer observed. NV Energy confirmed that polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB’s) are

not utilized in this transformer.• Storage containers containing a range of petroleum and hazardous materials observed to be in good

condition.• Two 2,000-gallon underground storage tanks (UST’s) and one 1,000-gallon UST previously existed on the

subject property. Based upon available regulatory information, it appears that the UST’s did not leak and were ultimately replaced by a 1,000-gallon aboveground storage tank (AST), which is currently located above the removed UST’s.
