Summary Explanation and Background: North Shore Elementary School No. 70 is currently undergoing a total re-construction of the facility to accommodate a K-8 program. Additional land is needed to expand the playground areas at the school. An analysis of nearby properties was made and several adjacent property owners were approached and asked if they would consider selling property to the Duval County School Board to help accomplish the playground area expansion. The acquisition of this property (Real Estate NO. 027408-0000) will provide an additional 0.43 acres of land, as well as provide access to the school site from West 45th Street. This will improve safety considerations for pedestrian traffic to and from the school site. New Century Commission Recommendation/OPPAGA Recommendation/Council of Great City Schools Recommendation: Financial Impact (Including HR/headcount/Source of Funds): The purchase price for this property is $125,000, plus closing costs not to exceed $5,000. There will also be demolition costs that have not yet been determined. For Additional Information, contact: Ronald A.
