Editor's Notes
“ Raw Land” – Least desirable situation with highest level of risk in meeting a facility start‐up schedule. The land may or may not have the proper land use and/or zoning and could take 1-2 years before construction of a building could take place. 1-2 years before ready for construction “ Shovel Ready” – At this level the basic studies have been completed, environmental permitting is complete, and the utilities and roads have been identified and timing estimated to have them in place. There is also schedule alignment for installation of roads and utilities to be within the critical path of the building construction. Below are some of the due diligence needed to be consider shovel ready. 6-9 months before construction • Business/industrial use designation • Phase I environment audits • Geo-technical studies • Topographical analysis and maps • Aerial photography • Availability of public utilities • Water system extension engineering design • Sewer system extension engineering design • Industrial quality infrastructure • Engineered site development plans • Detailed analysis of development cost • Complete information on pricing • Boundary survey • Wetlands delineation map • Archeological findings • Rare/endangered plant and/or animal report • 100 year flood evaluations A shovel-ready site should have all necessary due diligence completed (environmental assessments, wetlands delineation, etc.) Ideal Situation: all necessary mitigation is complete. Acceptable Alternative: plan in place to mitigate issues Pad Ready is all of the above plus the following: Pad ready would indicate that the site has all permitting , with possible exception of the building permit (vertical construction), the utilities are immediately adjacent to the site and it is ready to put the pad in. The site is prep is completed: lot cleared, site excavated, the bad material replaced it with good fill, designs for a specific building footprint is complete (maximize use of the lot; i.e. 50K sqft/100k sqft). Storm Water and retention complete. Why do we need pad ready sites? Because we do not have the existing facilities other communities have and to compete with them we need this extra step. In addition to this pad ready status, Enterprise Flagler will purchase building design (engineered drawings) and have a 50/100k sqft building pre-permitted also. We can than offer a prospect virtual building where the prospect can have a development order to start construction as little as 5 days.
#6 Roger needs definition of HIPI - I was told but have forgotten, many may not know.
[Note to John: remember that the above may lag the investment. So, in reality, the ROI for the first year may occur in year 2 rather than year 1. I’m not suggesting that we change the years on the chart to Years 2 thru 4, but you may get a question regarding the lag.]
- Hello, I Dave Dobel, one of the SCORE Counselors assigned to Focus Group 1.
I am delivering the results of Focus Group 1 in lieu of our Group Leader, Michael Chiumento Version 3.0, the Founder and CEO of Palm Coast Law, who unfortunately could not be here today. Fortunately, several members from our very entrepreneurial minded team are here today and will help me answer the provocative and deeply probing questions you have. The Focus Group, which concentrated on our goal to create a more robust entrepreneurial Environment and Organic Growth, was composed of a robust cross-section of public and private sector leaders. Two en-mass meetings were held at the Chamber of Commerce, augmented but a number of less formal one-on-one in-person, telephone and email conversations. ZOHO Projects was used for posting documents and meeting notes but did not work quite as well as expected as a tool too encourage collaboration.
The team’s assignment from the March Summit, was to: (1) develop project steps; (2) develop a plan for if, how and when the steps would be accomplished; (3) link the steps to overall strategy, resources and budget to get the job done, and: (4) Proposed an ROI measurement method and calculate the expected return on their plan. Unlike the other four Focus Groups, we did not develop a set of project steps for Focus Group 1 at the March Summit. Instead gave them strategies, e.g.: Profile the needs of existing businesses Create a process for identifing/inventoring/linking to local, regional, state and others resources beneficial to existing businesses and entrepreneurs Consider simple, single interfaces to make existing businesses and entrepreneurs aware of these resources and easy to engage Underlying theme; take any pain out where we can The project steps the team developed were: - {Read/Point to bullets on chart}
