[100 Osceola Avenue] The City Commission is discussing the potential purchase of the former Osceola Elementary School property located at 100 Osceola Avenue. Volusia County Schools (VCS) has provided a First Right of Refusal for this 11.6-acre property, which is zoned R-3 (Single Family Medium Density) with a future land use of PI (Public Institutional). VCS has deemed the property surplus. The school buildings, constructed between 1954 and 1983, are considered antiquated and in need of replacement. A condition assessment and appraisals have been conducted. The city is seeking direction on whether to pursue further discussion with VCS for the purchase. The proposed funding for a new school on this site or another location would be from a local sales tax initiative. The document also details a Castaldi analysis for razing the existing buildings and constructing a new, modern elementary school to combine students from Osceola and Ortona Elementary Schools. The analysis indicates that most buildings are beyond their useful life and replacement is financially justified over modernization. Concerns regarding educational adequacy, security, and building condition are cited as reasons for demolition and replacement.

The building assessments detail various issues in Buildings #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #15, and #16, recommending replacement for most. The appraisal report focuses on the 11.6-acre property at 100 Osceola Ave., Ormond Beach, FL, valuing it as vacant land less demolition costs. The highest and best use is determined to be residential subdivision development, contingent on land use change. The property is appraised at $1,700,000 (rounded) after deducting estimated demolition costs of $403,000 from the as-vacant land value of $2,100,000. [100 Osceola Ave., Ormond Beach, Florida 32176; case File Number: 10092] This document is an appraisal report for the former Osceola Elementary School site, focusing on its potential for residential subdivision development. The property is located at 100 Osceola Ave., Ormond Beach, Florida, and comprises 11.6 acres.

After reconciling these approaches, the vacant land value is estimated at $2,100,000. The report also estimates demolition costs for the existing school structures at $403,000. The final estimated market value of the property, as vacant less demolition costs, is $1,700,000.
