8.B. Football Field Location

Beth Bauer

Rationale

Option 1: Front of School

The initial assessment is that this will be the most cost effective location for the venue. The grading of this location would require minimal site walls, if any.

The solar orientation and home bleacher location is ideal.

This location is along the main road and will be visible in front of the school

Utilities:

Power would need to be extended up Moberly Road either from the Baseball/Softball complex or from north side of 127-Bypass.
Survey shows underground fiber near existing parking lot that may need to be relocated which would not be difficult.
Sanitary would need to be pumped into existing force main along Moberly Road, similar to existing facilities along this route. Would need to cross Moberly Road.
Existing 6” domestic water main along east side of Moberly Road could be tapped to serve water needs at this location. Would need to cross Moberly Road.

Option 2 and Option 3: by BB/SB and at the back of the school

The grades slope drastically and major retaining walls will be necessary (which is expensive). Option 2 has a 28’ grade change and Option 3 has approximately 34’ of grade change. The existing road would be impacted by the sitework too, which is an added cost compared to Option 1.

Not ideal solar orientation of the field or for the home bleachers.

These both tuck the field behind the school, so the school is not visually blocked.

Option 2 will impact the golf area

Utilities:

3-phase power is available along Industry Road the entire length of the property.
Sanitary would need to be pumped into existing force main across Moberly Road, a greater distance than Option 1 (This will be expensive)
Existing 16” domestic water main along Industry Road could be tapped to serve water needs at this location.
Existing water (domestic and fire) serving Senior High School has a vault at this location with mains crossing proposed football field. Shown on survey. (This will be expensive)
Survey indicates natural gas available along Industry Road. Likely serving the manufacturing facilities along that route.
