Operational Services- Information Type Information Background: In April, certain School Board members received a letter of intent via email from a Tampa-based real estate firm. The letter expressed interest in acquiring approximately 1.3 ± acres of land located at the southwest corner of the Flagler Palm Coast High School campus. The full campus is identified by the Flagler County Property Appraiser as Parcel Number 07-12-31-0650-000A0-0002. Subdividing the Property ● To separate this portion of land from the FPC campus, the School Board must adopt a resolution declaring the property as surplus and unnecessary for educational or ancillary use. ● Prior to adopting such a resolution, a pre-surplus assessment must be conducted by staff to confirm the property is free of encumbrances, encroachments, regulations, or interlocal agreements. ● If deemed unencumbered, the Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) must be amended. This includes obtaining a spot survey of the parcel and securing School Board approval before submitting the updated inventory to the Florida Department of Education’s Office of Educational Facilities (OEF). ● As required by statute, two independent appraisals must be conducted if the property's value exceeds $500,000. Pre-Surplus Assessment Findings ● The parcel under consideration has been historically designated as a wetland area, labeled as “Wetland A” in the 2000 utility plan for the FPC campus. ● On September 22, 1999, the School Board granted a perpetual conservation easement on this portion of the campus to the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD), as recorded in Book 670, Page 100 of Flagler County Public Records. The easement was part of a required mitigation plan for the SJRWMD stormwater permit and serves to offset environmental impacts from the campus. ● The wetland area, along with an adjacent detention pond, forms part of the school’s stormwater management system. Notably: ○ In 2011, the retention pond near the stadium on the east was decommissioned. ○ Stormwater from the east side of the campus now drains into this west-side detention pond. ○ The pond also temporarily holds runoff from the Town Center development before directing it to the FDOT ditch along SR 100 and through a culvert into Gore Lake located across the highway. ● Access constraints: ○ The only potential access point for a commercial development on the site is via Transportation Way. ○ Due to underground warning signals and stormwater infrastructure along SR 100, there may be FDOT easements on the right-of-way that restrict direct access from SR 100. ○ A swale along the parcel’s western edge may also restrict access from adjacent commercial properties. ● Safety and regulatory constraints: ○ The State Requirements for Educational Facilities (SREF) prohibit the crossing of pedestrian and vehicular traffic on school property. ○ SREF also mandates that entrances and exits be located away from hazards and encroachments. An access point on Transportation Way would pose a safety risk to students and buses. ○ The City of Palm Coast also enforces a 100-foot building setback from the right-of-way, further limiting the parcel’s developable area. Recommended Resolution: In light of the pre-surplus assessment findings, staff respectfully requests the School Board’s guidance on whether to retain this portion of the Flagler Palm Coast High campus in the district’s property inventory; or consider declaring it surplus and therefore subject to sale.
