HAPEL HILL- <br />ARRBORO <br />To: Neil Pedersen <br />From: Steve Scroggs <br />Re: Elementary Number 11 and SAPFO <br />Date: April 16, 2008 <br />As per your request, I am including my analysis of the schedule for construction of <br />Elementary 11 and the impact on SAPFO and the awarding of Certificates of Adequate <br />Public Schools (CAPS). <br />Construction Schedule <br />As the attached chart indicates, an opening in August of 2010 is now an impossibility. <br />Funding, site selection, architect selection, and four months of the town approval process <br />would have to have been completed by now for that schedule to be viable. As the chart also <br />indicates, we need to be progressing quickly if we are to stay on schedule for an August 2011 <br />opening date. Direction from the Board on site selection will be the first step. The schedule is <br />for a building designed from scratch. Some time could be saved if a prototype facility, <br />Scroggs, Rashkis or another version, were used. The time saved is in schematic design and <br />development. The amount of time saved could be as much as six months but that is still not <br />enough time to get to a 2010 opening. <br />Impact on SAPFO and CAPS <br />The chart also illustrates the impact of opening in 2011 on SAPFO and CAPS. A brief <br />explanation of the bottom chart lines is provided. <br />School Year: August to June each calendar year <br />~ SAPFO Year: November 15 to November 14 in each year <br />Town Approval Process: The estimated time it takes to get project approval from the <br />town. Single family projects would be quicker, larger projects would take longer. <br />Construction Documents: Once a CUP and ZCP are approved, then construction <br />documents must be approved before construction can begin. <br />Building Permit: Once the construction documents are approved then a building <br />permit is issued. <br />Construction: 12 months has been allocated for construction, small projects will be <br />faster, large projects longer. <br />Average Single Family Detached: This is the estimated number of students generated <br />by CAPS approved during the past three years for single family detached housing. <br />Average Other: This is the estimated number of students generated by condos, <br />apartments or multi family units approved in the past three years. It is important to note <br />that the major projects including Greenbridge, East 54, Chapel Watch, Homestead <br />Twins, Ballentine, and Chapel Hill Lot 5 all already have their CAPS. <br />Average Other: Using the SAPFO projections for elementary growth, this is the <br />estimated number of students who would move into existing housing within the <br />
