2 <br /> Physical Assessment, page 2 <br /> General Information <br /> Floor Area <br /> 1938 building 8,787.07 gross square feet <br /> 1963 stair tower at rear 415.20 gross square feet <br /> Total gross square footage is 9,195.27 gross square feet. The following are the total gross square feet <br /> on each level: <br /> Basement: 2,699.01 <br /> First Floor: 3,248.13 <br /> Second Floor 3,248.13 <br /> Notes <br /> 1. The basement has 549.12 less square feet, because the 1989 renovations leveled the first floor <br /> by approximately 4 feet leaving the 1938 equipment room (fire station) floor with a head height <br /> of approximately 4 feet in an inaccessible space. <br /> 2. The Town of Chapel Hill lists the building as having 9,255 square feet which is 59.73 more than <br /> these calculations. <br /> Land <br /> PIN(s): 9788371539 and 9783370577 <br /> Area: 150' x 114.5' = 17,175 square feet, or .39 acres <br /> Assessed Value <br /> Based on the Chapel Hill estimated value of $1,700,000, the cost per gross square foot would be <br /> $184.87 ($1,700,000 /9,195.27 gross square feet) <br /> Floor Heights <br /> According to the 1989 Architect's drawings: <br /> Basement <br /> Front portion: from top of slab to finished first floor is 12'-0" <br /> Back portion: from top of slab to finished first floor is 9'-0" <br /> First Floor: from finished first floor to finished second floor is 12'-0" <br /> Second Floor: from finished second floor to finished ceiling is 12'-0" <br /> Additional Structural Support Need <br /> To meet any new use and anticipated occupancy loads, approximately 30 percent of the first floor and <br /> 90 percent of the second floor will need to be upgraded. <br /> The rear and the southeast portions of the first floor that were part of the 1989 renovations can safely <br /> support 100 PSF live load. This confirms the design live load indicated on sheet S-2 of the 1989 <br /> structural drawings. The original framing in the southwest portion of the first floor can safely only <br /> support a live load of 50 PSF. <br />
