SUBJECT: Acquisition of an Old Pc%ay Parksite
BUND
During the preparation of the Redevelopment Plan for the Paguay Project Area, it
was determined that there was a lack of parks and open space within the project
area. In order to fulfill this need, the Redevelopment Agency allocated funds
from the proceeds of the Tax Allocation Bond issue for the acquisition of a 4-5
acre parksite.
FINDINGS
In September 1986, staff began a review of potential parksites in the "Old
Poway" area preferably north of Midland School. A parksite in this location
would provide the greatest benefit to the adjoining residential areas. The best
site of those that could potentially be used as a park is that currently is
identified as the Old Pcway Village. This site, cutgJrised of 14 separate par-
cels is 4.77 acres in size (see Attachment #1) . The property, zoned CG, RS-3,
and RR-C, is bisected by Rattlesnake Creek with the westerly one-half within the
floodway. The property has 2 cannercial tenants, the Hamburger Factory, and 2
small hones, one of which is occupied by Mrs. Helen Porter, the owner of the
property. Mrs. Porter and her deceased husband operated an antique store,
railroad museum, and old Poway Village prior to his death in 1979.
In October 1986, staff contacted Mrs. Porter through San Diego Trust and Savings
Bank, the Trustee for the Estate of John S. Porter which manages the property.
After it was determined that Mrs. Porter was interested in selling the property,
it was agreed that the Redevelopment Agency and San Diego Trust and Savings
would jointly have an appraisal for the property prepared. The appraisal sum-
marized in Attachment #2 sets the value of the parksite at $580,000.
In addition to the acquisition to the parksite, Mrs. Porter has offered to sell
a portion of the personal property that has a historical value to the cannunity.
Specifically, this includes an 1879 Baldwin 0-4-0 steam locomotive (see
Attachment #3) , a gasoline powered mine engine, ore cars, a rail car, approxima-
tely 1/2 mile of track, as well as other miscellaneous rail equipment and
\ memorabilia. The price for this personal property is $40,000.

� Dear Ms . Sweeton:
Pursuant to your request, we have completed a narrative appraisal
� report on the estimated market value of the fee simple interest in
the referenced property. We personally inspected the subject
property and jointly conducted the necessary investigation into
i and subsequent analysis of the pertinent market data which led to
A our value conclusions.
� It is our opinion the market value of the property bordered
roughly by Midland Road and Sycamore Avenue on the east and west,
and Aubrey Street and Temple Street on the north and south, re-
spectively (containing approximately 4. 77 acres ) is:
� FIVE HUNDRED EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
***** $580, 000 *****
gIt is our opinion the market value of the single lot containing
5, 310 square feet, located at the southwest corner of Sycamore Av-
� enue and Aubrey Street, is:
THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
***** $3, 500 ****�
� It should be noted that many of the assumptions regarding area
calculations usabilit of the land and otential -
, y , p governmental
� requirements were made based upon conversations with representa-
tives of the City of Foway, a potential buyer of the subject prop-
erty. We reserve the right to modify our opinion of value should
� there be any material changes in the assumptions as stated in the
report. i
This letter of transmittal is intended to be a part of the follow-
� ing narrative appraisal report.
� Respectfully subm' tted,
