Round Hole Property Development Analysis

August 15, 2014 APN: 09-690-37 Site Location: Whispering Pines Lane (corner of Brunswick and Idaho-Maryland Roads, access from Whispering Pines Lane. Property Description The Round Hole Property (“the Property”) is a 7.13 acre undeveloped property that is part of the Whispering Pines Business Park (the “Park”) located in Grass Valley, CA. The Park was developed in the 1980’s to establish a “Corporate Community” in Grass Valley for large, intermediate, and small firms, particularly hi-tech, seeking to build facilities on improved sites with the highest quality environment. Specific land use requirements associated with the Park are outlined in the Whispering Pines Specific Plan, adopted by the City in 1984. While the Property itself is undeveloped, it has road, sewer, water, power, natural gas, phone, and internet infrastructure available to it as part of the Park, making it an ideal development property. In addition, several adjacent properties are currently for sale, which could be acquired as part of any development. The Property is ideally suited for administrative and research facilities, restricted light industry, employment center support, and office/professional use. It can be conditionally developed for urban medium residential use. The Property is zoned as SP-1A subarea, which foresaw the Park as having a “campus” type character. This was defined to include landscaped open space between buildings, screened service areas, uniform sign and street lighting standards, and maintenance of the “Whispering Pines Theme” throughout. The Whispering Pine Theme refers to the Ponderosa Pine forest that covers much of the site and surrounding area, which the City of Grass Valley would like to preserve. High standards of appearance were foreseen, with restrictions on outdoor storage and activities with obnoxious characteristics. Parcel sizes could range from 1.5 acres to 15 acres or more. Property History The Property was originally part of the historic Idaho-Maryland Mine, the second largest gold producer in California, operating from 1861 to 1956. The Property was the location of the historic Round Hole Shaft, a unique 5 foot diameter borehole that was drilled with a Newsom Drill, developed by J. B. Newsom in Grass Valley in 1936 at Idaho-Maryland Mine. The core from this shaft represents a the unique mining history of Grass Valley and pieces are located at the Empire Mine State Park, the Nevada County Fair Grounds, Nevada City, Grass Valley, UC Davis, and other locations. The shaft is covered with a concrete structure and, with core that remains on site, could be made

into a unique feature as part of the landscaping for the Property and to preserve the local history. Development Potential The Property is located at the corner of Idaho-Maryland Road and Brunswick Road. Access is from Whispering Pines Lane. Across the Idaho-Maryland Road, the 450 acre Loma Rica Special Development Area has been approved for commercial, retail, and residential development (700 homes) by the City of Grass Valley. This makes the location of the Round Hole Property ideal to take advantage of its location in the Park and also the proposed Loma Rica development. Note the Property has excellent access to Highway 49 as well as the Nevada County Airport. The Property could be developed as a stand alone property or with adjacent properties. Currently, three additional properties adjacent to the Round Hole Property are on the market. In particular, combining the Round Hole Property with the adjacent property at the corner of Whispering Pines and Brunswick Road would create an excellent development opportunity. The Round Hole Property has a flatter area at the top, and slopes to the northwest. Development could be easily done by terracing the property. The Property has dedicated open space and slope easements along Brunswick Road and Idaho-Maryland Road, designed to protect the Whispering Pines Theme of the Ponderosa Pines. About 4.28 acres of the 7.13 acres are developable and could easily support warehouse, office/warehouse, office/professional, or other uses. National tenants in the Park include Linear Technology, General Dynamics, Texas Instruments, and others. Specific Plan Information The following information is from the Specific Plan/Master Environmental Impact Report, Whispering Pines Corporate Community, September 1983, Adopted February 14, 1984. This information is available on the City of Grass Valley website. This represents a summary of some, but not all, of the requirements for an SP-1A development. Additional information can be obtained from the document. Note that this document gives a vague description of possible land uses on SP-1A property and the information is dated.

Development Code Information The City of Grass Valley adopted a Development Code dated April 10, 2007. This Development Code is available on the City. It lays out additional information that would be required for a development such as parking. For example, parking requirements that might apply to the Property include: Warehousing – 1 space for each 500 sq. ft. of floor area Professional/administrative offices – 1 space for each 250 sq. ft. of floor area.

Medical services – 1 space for each 250 sq. ft. of floor area or 4 spaces for each doctor, whichever would yield more spaces

Landscaping is outlined in both the Specific Plan and Development Code, so both would have to be reviewed for any development. For additional information, contact: Tom Last Community Development Directory City of Grass Valley [email protected] 530-274-4711 Nevada County Airport Land Use Compatibility Information The Property, like a good portion of Grass Valley, falls under the Nevada County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (adopted September 21, 2011). This can be found on the Nevada County Transportation Commissions website. The Property lies within Compatibility Zone C – Inner Turning Zone and Extended Approach Zone. This has been designated with moderate noise impact and moderate risk level. Prohibited uses include children’s schools, day care centers (>15 children), libraries, hospitals, nursing homes, buildings with greater than 3 habitable floors, highly noise sensitive uses (e.g. outdoor theatres), and hazards to flight. Hazards to flight

include physical (tall objects), visual and electronic forms of interference with the safety of aircraft operations. Land use development that may cause the attraction of birds to increase is also prohibited. It is not likely that any restrictions in this Plan would affect any developments given the zoning and use requirements outlined in the Whispering Pines Specific Plan and the City of Grass Valley’s Development Code.

Landon Executive Director Nevada County Transportation Commission [email protected] (530) 265=3202 Disclaimer: The above is provided for informational purposes only.

About Sperry Van Ness

The Sperry Van Ness Company of Affiliates has an executive team

with tremendous integrity, continuity and experience. Along with

our industry veterans, we embrace the talents and insights of our

next generation of leaders. You asked us to harness the incredible

power that comes from the blending of institutional talent with a

results-driven, entrepreneurial approach to doing the business –

and we listened.

Rand Sperry and Mark Van Ness first met while working on opposing sides of an investment deal in 1977. Mark'sclient wanted to purchase a property listed by Rand, whose firm did not cooperate with outside brokers.

Sperry Van Ness was created in 1987 with a new philosophy: putting the client's interest first, by aggressively

marketing to and cooperating with all brokers. This strategy creates a "bidding war" in the marketplace. In an

industry where the status quo is to double end deals, Sperry Van Ness forged a new approach.

Our philosophy "Maximum Competition Equals Maximum Value" separates us from all other national companies. We

have a written policy of cooperation on every listing. No other brokerage firm does that! Even today, Sperry Van Ness

remains the only firm that places the client's interests first, with our policy of marketing to the entire brokerage

community

Mark represented his client in the transaction, but received only a small referral fee – not a commission from Rand's

broker. This common practice of broker exclusion causes properties to sell for less than their actual value, or not sell

at all. The proof? Mark sold the same property soon after, demonstrating the value of full broker cooperation – with

a 400 percent profit for his client.

Maximum Competition Equals Maximum Value



-Mark Van Ness

From Solution to Revolution

Imagine if your own broker actually discouraged buyers from bidding on your property! It happens everyday.

Giving up half your income in order to put clients first

is something many brokers can't swallow.
