BY: Ways and Yeans Committee
IN RE: REPORT ON NEGOTIATIONS FOR LEASE OF SITE AT SERVICE CENTER
1Mr.74
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
At the meeting of the Board on February 6, 1962, Miscellaneous
R000lution Number 3903 was adopted which authorized the Ways and
Koans and Buildings and Grounds Coc ittees to mare a further study
d negotiate with any person, firm, or corporation who may have an
interest in leasing a site at the Service Center for an office build-
, ing.
Since that date, your Committee has -45 it known that it would
di000so with any person, firm, or corporation such an agreed nt----
it being the primary concern of the joint Committees to provide a
restaurant, banking services, and possibly abstract company services
near and adjacent to the Courthouse for the convenience of the general
o as well as employees and officials of the County. •
To date only one proposal has been submitted to your joint Com-
mittees, namely the offer of Mr. Louis Savage to lease County owned
lonel• for the construction and operation of an office building.
Mro Savage through his attorney, Mr, Arthur P. Bogus, has sub-
,
mitted the following offer to the County for leas of a site at the
Service Center:
(a) Tu 1 .se to be for fifty years.
(b) Rent to hi
guarantee of
first applie
The tenant is
the gross rental receipts with a
9,000.00 per year. The rent to be
on taxes, surplus to go to the County.
to ,,.e up any deficiency on taxes.
(c) The land covered by the lease is to be in the area
adjacent to the present Community National Bank
trailer office, and to be of sufficient area for
the location of an attractive office building of
at least 40,000 square feet of floor space with
adjacent adequate land for parking.
(d) Rent to start when building is ready for occupancy.
(e) Construction of building to start within 150 days
after parties have come to terms on the lease.
(f) Building to be the property of Oakland County upon
termination of lease.
(g) The lease is to run to a corporation to be later
designated.
The joint Committees in the consideration of this proposal have
reviewed preliminary architectural plans submitted by Mr. Savage;
have had a study of proposal site and location made by Mr. Laird,
Planning Consultant; and have had a study made by the Board of
Auditors as to feasibility of having an office building located at
the Service Center.
While the exact site has not yet been determined, the reports
submitted to your joint Committees indicate that it would be feasible
to locate this office building east of the Court Tower and across
County Center Drive on a site south of the County Garage.
While your joint Committees were primarily interested in the
restaurant, banking services, and abstract company services for the
general public, it was felt that in order for a private corporation ,
to construct with privete funds such a building at the Service Center,
it -ould be necessary to provide office space in addition to the
other facilities already mentioned. Your joint Committees after
completion of the study deemed it necessary to limit such office
space to professional use such as attorneys, legal news, branch post
office; etc.
WAYS AIM MEANS COMMITTEE BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS COMIIITTEE
,
The joint Committees recommend to the Board the approval of
the foregoing offer in principle in order to allow Mr. Savage to
negotiate for leases for occupancy of the building proposed to be
constructed and as the basis for further study as to the terns of
a lease. The final lease to be proposed and the site determination
11 be submitted to the Board for consideration at a later date.
MR. CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the Ways and Means and Buildings
and Grounds Committees 9 I move the adoption by the Board of the
foregoing recommendations.
