Staff recommends the purchase of the Aerator for $3,355.00 from Wilkie Turf who is the only bidder. This company is the only distributor in our area. It is also recommended that the two (2) fairway mowers be purchased from W. F. Miller, who is the low bidder at $17,359.00 for both units. The low bid for the four (4) trucksters was Ray Ellis Sales of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Their bid was $364.27 less than the other bidders. His delivery is also 8-12 weeks. The second low bidder is Golf Car Distributors. They are an Oakland County firm based out of Pontiac. They also have these vehicles in stock and we could have 'them imaediately. They can also provide immediate service to the purchased vehicles. For these reasons, it is the staffs recommendation that the bid be awarded to the second low bidder, Golf Car Distributors in the amount of $13,739.67 for the four (4) vehicles. Jon J.

Dear Mr. Reickel: In accordance with our recent conversations, I herewith submit a "Letter of Consultation" regarding the above referenced property. This is a "Letter of Consultation" and should not be construed as a full narrative type appraisal. Portions of my reasoning and data utilized are contained on the attached pages. in summary, it is my opinion that the market value of "ordinary" vacant land in this area would range from $2,500. to $3,500. per acre. It is also my opinion that subject property, with its unusual shape, topography, and access, would fall in a range of value of about 60 per cent of "ordinary" land or from $1,500. to $2,000. per acre. This land is currently being offered to the Cormnission at $2,100. per acre. It is my advice that the Commission accept this pro- posal and attempt to negotiate a purchase at the earliest convenience. Respectfully, ,% F Paul R.

It is estimated that probably two-thirds of the land area is low and unbuildable for ordinary residential construction methods. The high land is basically in, two area; one to the extreme north__-n boundary adjacent to the golf course and the other high area is near the south central portion. A portion of the Huron River traverses the extreme, southwest corner® The western boundary is a perpendicular north --south lire measuring 2623.36 feet. The southern boundary is 727.51 feet and extends into a small lake. The northern boundary is 332.54 feet. The eastern boundary, adjacent to the golf course, is ex- tremely irregular and bulges in and out around the golf course. (Without survey, it appears from the aerial photographs that possibly some of the golf course site improvements lie within the boundaries of this adjacent ownership.) This land, in and by itself, is legally landlocked. ?Io,-i- ever, the present owner also owns the property to the north which allows him access to M-590 3 POTENTIAL OR POSSIBLE USES In order to arrive at an intelligent decision or to recc=mtend a course of action, it is necessary to consider the potential or possible uses of the subject property. In my estimation, the most practical use of the subject property would be some sort of multiple family (apartments), at- tached condominiums, or "cluster" single family residential. These uses all allow a developer to calculate density on the total acreage but utilize only a small portion of that acreage fo- the actual building sites. This is the only practical way that I feel this land could be developed. The sub -soil conditions are uncertain and it would be necessary to concentrate the buildings on the limited amount of high ground. It should be noted, that the possibility of "cluster" type housing is very realm In 1974, Waterford Township, adjacent to the east, passed an ordinance allowing such housing. It is con- ceivable that this could be obtained in White Lake Township with very little troubles GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS Real estate appraisers often talk in terms of "market value," This is the concept of willing buyer, willing seller, open rnar- ket, fLIll knowledge, reasonable time, etc. - 4 - Another tefm discussed in real estate circles is "market price." Price and value are not always equal. Price is a figure which may be acceptable to buyer and seller for various reasonsb Often time we must consider the "value in use." Sometimes we must consider "the value to the owner". In the situation at hand we must consider the "assemblage increment" and "value to the adjacent owner." RECOMMENDATION Now we come to the crux of the matter. What action should the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission take? In my judgment, the Commission should accept a proposal from Realty World, agents for the owners, and tender an offer of $2,100000 per acre. In my discussions with the Broker, it was my impression that the owners considered this the "rock bottom" price. The land was previously offered to Oakland County at a substantially higher price, REASONING If one looks at an aerial map of White Take Oaks Golf Course with the subject property adjacent, it is almost obvious that Oakland County should own the subject property. It will square off the ownership into an even 160 acres. It will give the Parks Commission complete control of the small lake at its south- ern boundary, - 5 - The proposed acquisition will give Oakland County control of a portion of the Huron River, This could be a very important water source in the future. Natural water is much more useful for irrigation purposes than well water. Another major factor in favor of this acquisition is that it will virtually guarantee a "buffer" zone between the golf course and any incompatible uses. And of course, the final consideration is the potential for future expansion of the golf course or golf course related facilities. Some revisions were made a few years ago when Oak- land County acquired this property and it is conceivable that further extensions could be made if the County cane into title of the subject property® The area proposed for acquisition could easily allow the County to develop a "Par 3" or 11Executive" golf course for use principally by beginners, children, women, and elderly. Incidentially, there is virtually no other direction for expansion. Williams Lake Road lies to the east, a residential subdivision lies to the south, and M-59 is a short distance to the north. - 6 PvlARKET DATA The following page of this report contains a list of various comparable sales by township. These sales were considered and related to the subject property. You will note that acreages in White Lake Township vary from slightly more than $1,000.00 per acre to a high of $3,500.00 per acre. Commerce Township values run-.1fom $1,800.00 per acre to $4,280.00 per acre. Water- ford Township values extend from $2,200.00 per acre to $4,000.00 per acre. Springfield Township has a narrow range from slightly more than $1,000.00 per acre to more than $2,100.00 per acre. Independence Township also has a rather narrow range from $1,350.00 per acre to $2,500.00 per acre. It is interesting to note that two significant parcels come to mind. One is a 35 acre parcel in Section 16 of Independence Township which was purchased by the Township for park purposes. This property sold at $1,612.00 per acre, with very poor access. Another significant factor is a parcel that was considered by the Oakland County Parks and Recreation -Commission in Sec- tions 9 and 10 of Independence Township, This 90± acres was offered to the Commission at $l1350.00 per acre and is adjacent to the Independence Oaks County Park. On the other hand, Waterford Township recently made a pur- chase of some 17 acres in Section 27 at the rate of $3,615.00 per acre; for a proposed park. - 7 - These items are note worthy only in the fact that there is very little correlation which can be taken from past acquisi- tions for park purposes. it is also note worthy that few if any comparables were found along the "M-59 Corridor." In my opinion, this is the most desireable area within White Lake Township. M-59 is presently a major artery and plans by the Michigan Department of State Highways are designed to improve this road to a five lane thoroughfare. M-275, limited access freeway, is designed for construction about four miles west of the subject property. The point is, that I do not feel land values will decrease in this vicinity. Conversely, it is almost certain that the current trend of in- flation will continue and the cost of land will rise.
