Site is located on 42.3 acres formerly used as a golf course and a 300 person banquet facility. The site is zoned for Commercial use with a 10 acre Planned Residential area on the westerly and southerly boundary of the site. The site is bordered on the north by Genesee Street, on the east and west side by single/multi family residences and on the south by natural terrain.

Estimates are based on various factors including THE LAW OF SUPPLY & DEMAND. Estimate is not to be construed as an appraisal and may not be used as such for any purpose.

OPENING BID: To Be Announced

PROPOSED SITE DEVELOPMENT

The site will be constructed into two Phases. Phase One will construct a Sporting Facility which will include a Cafe, Retail Space, Firearms Education Center and an Indoor Ranges for bows and firearms. Phase One will also convert an existing structure on site for an Event Catering Kitchen and storage.

Phase Two will be initiated with (3) three, 18 bedroom Lodges and a 300 person Banquet facility.

PROPOSED BUILDING SIZES

Sporting Facility (14,520 sf footprint, 3 Levels-subgrade, grade level, 2nd story)

Cafe-Retail-Education-Range

• Lodges (6,000 sf footprint, 3 Levels-basement, grade level, 2nd story)

(3) 18 Bedroom Units

• Kitchen Facility for Event Catering (existing)

• Event Facility, 300 person facility (13,200 sf, single story)

DRAINAGE

The intent of the project is to maintain natural vegetation in areas, which will not be disturbed by the development. Interior circulation (parking & driveways) and building roofs will impact the rate of storm water runoff, provisions will be considered to impede the accelerated storm water runoff. Stormwater runoff plans will enhance current drainage patterns originally established during the development of the golf course. Diversion ditches, land grading, and temporary storage will be used for erosion and sediment control during and after construction operation. All preventative measures will be designed and implemented in accordance with current NYS Stormwater Management Design Manual.

POTENTIAL FLOOD HAZARD

The site is upland of adjacent valleys, streams and lower topography. In accordance to the National Flood Hazard Map, City of Oneida, No. 36040800040, the site is an area of minimal flooding. We note the City of Oneida, Baker Reservoir is directly upland of the site.

TOPOGRAPHY & GEOLOGY-

Site visits, topographical surveys and soil samples indicates the 42 acre site slopes gently downward approximately 5% in a south west to north east direction. The southerly border slopes downward a steep 20-25% grade to a valley with an unnamed stream.

The former golf course has underlying subsoils of predominantly silty loam with mix of clay materials. Although there are no outcroppings of boulders or rock, channery clay loam and weathered bedrock may be encountered at lower subsoils. Depth of groundwater is relatively shallow with in 36 inches of the surface. The site is representative of the Hydrologic Soil Group D, which means the site soil has high runoff potential when thoroughly wet. Water movement through the soil is restricted or very restricted.

HISTORIC/CULTURAL RESOURCES

The Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation reviewed the project in accordance with the New York State Historic Preservation Act of 1980 (Section 14.09 of the New York Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Law). Based upon their review, it is the opinion of OPRHP that no properties, including archaeological and/or historic resources, listed in or eligible for the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places will be impacted by this project.

TRAFFIC

Entrance to the site is from the northerly boundary along the eastbound lane of Genesee Street, also know as N.Y.S. Route 5. The existing entrance is and will be the only entrance to the site. Reconstruction of the existing driveway will be reconstructed in accordance with the requirements set forth by the New York State Department of Transportation. Pre-existing, on site vehicle paths, within the site, will be upgraded to meet City of Oneida emergency vehicles.

As previously noted, the site was formerly used as a 300 person banquet facility and golf course.

DRIVEWAY AND INTERIOR CIRCULATION SYSTEM

The interior circulation of existing vehicle paths and newly constructed parking areas will provide suitable turn around areas for all vehicles.

Referencing the Institute of Traffic Engineers 'Trip Generation, An Informational Report", potential traffic generated by the facilities is listed below.

* Similar to Driving Range Golf Tees or Bowling Alley Lanes
** Similar to suite Hotel, Motel or Resort
*** Similar to former Banquet Facility

Trip Generation Rate- The number of vehicular movements for a land use category within a 24-hour period is expressed as the number of trip-ends per unit of physical land use parameter. Peak Period Definitions are described as a 1-hour weighted average vehicle trip generation rate at a site between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. (AM Peak Hour) or between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. (PM Peak Hour). Statistically the weekday PM Peak Hour traffic yields the highest traffic volume of the day. The volume typically is 33% of the total traffic, with some variation due location and land uses.

According to the NYSDOT Region 2 Area Traffic Study of the intersection of NYS Route 5, Genesee Street, and Sayles Street, the Average Daily Traffic is 12,250 vehicles. This also relates to approximately 4,050 vehicles passing the site during PM Peak Hour. The Sporting Facility will generate approximately 103 vehicle trips during PM Peak hour, a 2.5% increase to the PM Peak Hour Traffic. We note that in Phase 2 of the Site's development, an additional 132 vehicle trips may be generated when an event at the Banquet Facility occurs in the evening hours. The addition of the Banquet Facility will potentially generate the overall site's trips to 5.8% increase to the current NYSDOT Average Daily Traffic during PM Peak hour Traffic.

PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY

Public water supply is available from the City of Oneida. A City of Oneida meter, installed in a subgrade vault, will provided data to determine the water usage (+/-20,000 gpd for domestic service) by each building on site. A preliminary Master Meter Octave 4" device has been selected for the project. The project will involve placement of a backflow preventer between distribution and the meter. Addition backflow preventers will be installed throughout the site as regulated by the N. Y. S. Health Department .

The site will install an 8" distribution line, a tee connection from the 12" along Genesee Street, to each area that will require water for domestic service and fire suppression flow. Each building will tap of the distribution line with an appropriate sized service lateral.

Due to the flow/pressure requirements of each facility and the site topography, a pumping (booster pump) station will be installed to accommodate the requirements. Preliminary design calculations indicate the need for variable speed devices with sensors, controllers and programmers. A minimum of two pumps, with a possible of a third pump will be utilized to provide demand and pressures to the facilities at higher elevations. Initially (2) two Grundfos, Hydro MPC-E with CRE15 pumps were selected for the preliminary analysis of the demand and pressure requirements. Additional analysis will be considered prior to a final decision on the number of pumps required.

In addition to domestic service for each facility on site, all buildings will have automatic fire suppression systems as well as site hydrants throughout the site.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Wastewater, non hazardous, generated on site will be provided with a piping system and pump station to lift waste to an existing City of Oneida system along Genesee Street. The site wastewater will collect to a pump station and then be lifted to the main along the south side of Genesee Street. We also some facilities will generate grease and fats due to cooking. The facilities will have grease interceptors installed prior to discharging the wastewater to the municipal system.

OTHER UTILITIES

In addition to the utilities provided by the city of Oneida, additional utilities like electric, natural gas, telephone and cable will be provide to the site by the independent utility companies.
