The High School at Wildcreek Due Diligence Report
INTRODUCTION
This document has been provided to summarize the findings of the scope of services provided by Wood
Rodgers, Traffic Works, Johnson Perkins Griffin, and other professional subject matter experts, as
commissioned by the Washoe County School District to investigate the viability of development of a high
school campus on the existing Wildcreek Golf Course parcel. Included below is a summary of the findings
for each due diligence topic, including drainage, environmental constraints, utilities, soils, flight path,
traffic, and site plan alternatives. For each of the aforementioned categories, a detailed report and
background information has been provided in the Appendix.
Background
The existing Wildcreek property consists of 330.7± acres owned by Washoe County, operated by the Reno-
Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority (RSCVA), and is within the City of Sparks. North McCarran
Boulevard borders the site to the south, Sullivan Lane borders the site on the west, with single family
residential bordering the site on the east. The site is currently developed with the Wildcreek Golf Course
(See Appendix A - Vicinity Map).
The Wildcreek property consists of 2 separate parcels. (See Appendix A - Assessor’s Parcel Maps). The
parcels are summarized as follows:
• APN 027-011-05: 212.2± acres located in the City of Sparks currently zoned Public Facility. The
High School Campus would only utilize this parcel for the proposed development.
• APN 035-080-04: 118.5± acres located in the City of Sparks currently zoned Public Facility. This
Parcel is proposed to remain undeveloped and would not be utilized for the High School Campus.
For the purposes of this report, the due diligence analysis concentrates on APN 027-011-05 as the primary
development parcel under consideration by the Washoe County School District, herein after referred to
as “subject parcel” or “subject property”.
Surrounding Uses
Surrounding uses include:
• North: Undeveloped land with some steeper terrain, flood constraints and Washoe County Park and
Open Space property;
• South: North McCarran Boulevard, a Major Arterial and NDOT right of way, borders the site with
nonresidential and multi-family residential uses beyond to the south. Wedekind Road, a Collector
Roadway also borders the site. Non-residential uses including a church are located between
Wedekind Road and North McCarran Boulevard. There are also two single family residences adjacent
to the golf course on the north side of Wedekind Road.
[1]
Wildcreek High School Due Diligence Report
• East: Steeper terrain, single family residences on large lots in Washoe County and Washoe County
Park and Open Space property used for portions of the Golf Course (portions of Holes 7, 12, 14 and
15);
• West: Sullivan Lane, a Collector Roadway, borders the property on the west. Offices and single-family
residences are located to the west beyond Sullivan Lane.
The subject property is zoned Public Facility (PF). Upon review of the Sparks Municipal Code (SMC)
Chapter 20 Zoning Code, the land use type “Schools (public or private)” is a permitted use with the
approval of an Administrative Review. Additional use regulations apply to the development of a school
and are outlined in SMC 20.03.038. Excerpts of the Sparks Zoning Code are provided in the Appendix B of
this document.
Additionally, Wood Rodgers reviewed the subject property and proposed high school development in the
context of the Truckee Meadows Regional Plan (TMRP). The TMRP identifies the subject property within
the City of Sparks Truckee Meadows Service Area (TMSA). The TMSA are areas within the Truckee
Meadows that are intended to receive municipal level services and infrastructure, including schools. The
site is not identified as having Development Constraint Areas, other than the presence of potential
drainage courses, which are discussed below and in the Preliminary Drainage Study included with this
report.
The proposal of a school at this location complies with the applicable Goals and Policies of the TMRP.
Specifically, for future consideration of a school at this location, the following findings indicate that the
TMRP supports the development of a high school at this location:
1. The subject parcel is master planned “Community Facilities” in the City of Sparks Master Plan. The
City of Sparks Master Plan was found to be in conformance with the Truckee Meadows Regional
Plan.
2. It is not anticipated that the development of a high school at this location will trigger review by
the Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Agency (TMRPA) for a Project of Regional Significance
(PRS). Based upon review of the criteria for Projects of Regional Significance, the project does not
exceed the thresholds identified for a PRS and therefore would not be subject to review by
TMRPA. This understanding has been affirmed by TMRPA staff via written correspondence from
[2]
Wildcreek High School Due Diligence Report
Lauren Knox, Regional Planner, TMRPA dated November 7, 2017. (Please note, depending on the
development plan for the property, TMRPA has oversight of the relocation of either of the two
NV Energy electric transmission lines, should they be proposed to be moved with the
development of the site. Under TMRPA’s review process, only the relocation of the utility lines
would be reviewed.)
The major constraints based upon the easements would be the 120 kV line overhead electrical
transmission line on the North side of the property that runs in an east/west direction within a 125 foot
wide easement Doc. No. 177117; the Orr Ditch which is reserved in patents (no easement width defined);
and the 10 foot sanitary sewer easement per Doc. No. 508672 that runs East from just South of the existing
clubhouse then goes South towards the intersection of Wedekind Road and McCarran Boulevard, as well
as the 20 foot sanitary sewer easement per Doc. No. 1966931 that also runs East from just South of the
clubhouse to the buildings. The sanitary sewer easement and associated underground sewer utility may
be relocated, depending on the ultimate site design and potential sewer work necessary to serve the
proposed high school. Additionally, overhead power and sanitary sewer easements along the frontage of
Sullivan Lane present a constraint along the roadway frontage that will effectively increase the necessary
setback from the roadway.
In addition to the survey mapping of plottable title exceptions, Doug Flowers, Attorney with Holland and
Hart provided a title review and summary for the above referenced Preliminary Title Report. Mr. Flowers
summarized the verbiage of several title exceptions. Of note, exception 38 of the title report, which
addresses a small unimproved area of land for the installation and maintenance of public utilities. In his
opinion, Mr. Flowers identified that this particular exception, while not of great concern, may present a
cloud on title and recommended that the title company remove it. Additionally, Mr. Flowers reviewed
the vesting deed for the original sale of the property and determined that the deed did not contain any
covenants, restrictions or other limitations that would dictate any future development or sale of the
property.
Geotechnical Investigation
The project was explored on June 30, 2017 and July 26, 2017 by performing a limited refraction
microtremor geophysical survey (ReMi) and advancing two bore holes using a CME 55 rubber tire
mounted drill rig, respectively. The maximum depth of the bore holes was 25-feet below the existing
ground surface. The full geotechnical analysis along with supporting data is represented under separate
cover and provided in Appendix D of this summary report.
[3]
Wildcreek High School Due Diligence Report
Based on our exploration and analyses, the site is suitable for the proposed development. Once soils have
been adequately prepared, standard spread foundations should perform well for the development. If it is
desired to limit grading, structural slab foundations or pier and grade beam foundations may be
considered.
Layering within the native soils is likely too erratic to allow the native soils to be used as a structural fill
source. Clay soils may be used as fill in non-structural areas, however, special placement protocols (such
as moisture conditioning and compaction) will be need to be developed to mitigate their associated
expansion potential.
Additional Exploration
Due to the potential need for imported structural fill for the proposed development, additional
exploration may be performed on the northern and eastern portions of the property in order to develop
a rockfill borrow pit. During the design phase of this project, a design level geotechnical report compliant
with the latest adopted version of the International Building Code (IBC) will require additional
investigation and analyses once a more final site layout and grading plan has been completed.
Prior to the field investigation, in July 2017, Wood Rodgers utilized an unmanned aerial system (UAS)
equipped with a multispectral camera to capture color and infrared (color IR) photography that was used
to focus the Routine On-Site Investigation. Using multispectral data prior to completing the field
investigation allowed our Wetlands Specialist to use vegetation reflectance signatures to determine
where field data was collected based on signatures for open water, saturated soils and hydrophytic
vegetation. In addition, topographic map tools were reviewed for indications of open water, springs, and
ephemeral, intermittent and perennial drainages. In addition, Wood Rodgers met with the golf course
staff to investigate how and where the course is irrigated with fresh water and treated effluent.

Wildcreek High School Due Diligence Report
Findings:
Our findings are contained in the September 2017 Wildcreek Golf Course Wetland Delineation and Water
of the U.S. Inventory provided in Appendix E. The 2017 field survey identified potential waters of the
United States that included the Orr Ditch. Additional Features included irrigation storage ponds
constructed in upland as part of an original stock water pond (F5) and golf course irrigation storage and
amenities (F3, F4 and F6). Other linear Features included the Sun Valley Wash (F2), 1,051 LF, and open
channel irrigation conveyance constructed in upland (F1), 500 LF. Potential jurisdictional resources are
summarized in the table below and limited to the existing Orr Ditch. The findings of this investigation will
require verification by the USACE, once the final design is better known and potential impacts can be
assessed.
Please Note: The Waters of US Inventory has been submitted to the Corps with a request for a Formal
Jurisdictional Determination. The USACE regulations do not provide for a time frame in which the USACE
must respond to a formal request for a USACE verification of jurisdiction. Therefore, Wood Rodgers
recommends that the Inventory of Waters of the Unites States, Including Wetlands Report be submitted
with a permit application. Receipt of a permit application by the USACE invokes a codified time frame for
response of 30 days.
In addition, Wood Rodgers requested guidance and clarification of the application of Regulatory Guidance
Letter 07-02 Exemptions for Construction and Maintenance of Irrigation Ditches and Maintenance of
Drainage Ditches Under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. On October 20, 2017 via personal
communication, Kristine Ceragioli, Senior Project Manager USACE stated that under Section 404(f)(1)(C)
of the CWA, 33 CFR 323.4(a)(3) and 40 CFR 232.3(c)(3), “construction” that is defined as “new work or
work that results in an extension or expansion of an existing structure (including ditch relocation,
conversion into pipe, lining, and placement of new control structures) is exempt under the preceding Act
and regulations if “the discharge is not part of an activity that would convert an area of waters of the US
(including wetlands) into a use to which it was not previously subject and/or the activity will not impair
the flow or circulation of waters of the US or reduce the reach of such waters. Therefore, potential piping
of the Orr Ditch for future development of the subject property appears at present to be exempt as
described above based on our current knowledge of development plans.
To document this exemption under Section 404(f)(1)(C) of the CWA, 33 CFR 323.4(a)(3) and 40 CFR
232.3(c)(3), “construction”, the project owner is required to submit a letter to the Corps informing them
of the proposed activity and documenting the conditions under which the exemption applies. The Corps
will reply within 30 days with confirmation or denial of the requested exemption.

Wildcreek High School Due Diligence Report
Endangered Cui-ui (Chasmistes cujus) - Although the USFWS Cui-ui Recovery Plan (1992) states the
essential habitat has been determined to be the Truckee River from Hunter Creek to Pyramid Lake, Cui-ui
have not been known to pass the Derby Dam since its construction in 1905. Derby Dam is approximately
31 river miles upstream of the project area and approximately 20 river miles downstream of Reno. Given
this and the location of the project site not adjacent to the Truckee River, the proposed project will have
no effect, positive or negative, to the Cui-ui or its essential habitat.
Threatened Lahontan Cutthroat Trout (LCT) (Oncorhynchus clarkii henshawi) -Six river basins, several
lakes and streams have been designated as recovery waters for the LCT; focusing on the Orr Ditch – the
Truckee River Operating Agreement (TROA), (USBOR Final Rule 12/05/2008) (Federal Register Vol. 73, No.
235 74031 – 74039) in compliance with the Truckee-Carson- Pyramid Lake Water Rights Settlement Act
“Provide for the enhancement of spawning flows available in the Lower Truckee River for the Pyramid
Lake fishery (endangered cui-ui and threatened Lahontan cutthroat trout [LCT]) in a manner consistent
with the Secretary’s responsibilities under the Endangered Species Act, as amended (ESA). Therefore, it
is reasonable that any project that concerns flows in the Orr Ditch must maintain flows through the ditch
in order to be in compliance with the TROA, Truckee-Carson- Pyramid Lake Water Rights Settlement Act,
and the ESA. If flows are maintained in the Orr Ditch during project development, a project is not likely
to adversely affect LCT.
North American wolverine (Gulo luscus) - Although wolverines historically occurred in the Sierra Nevada,
this species is not known to occur in the Truckee Meadow. As such, no potential impact is anticipated due
to the development of the project.
Webber’s ivesia (Ivesia webberi) - Webber’s ivesia is a member of the rose family and was listed as
threatened June 3, 2014 (Federal Register Vol., 79, No. 106 31878). Webber’s ivesia is a low-growing,
[6]
Wildcreek High School Due Diligence Report
perennial forb with clusters of leaves that lie nearly flat on the ground, and are approximately ten inches
in diameter. Webber’s ivesia is restricted to sites with sparse vegetation and shallow, rocky, clay soils on
mid elevation flats, benches or terraces between 4,475 and 6,237 feet elevation in Washoe and Douglas
Counties in Nevada, and in Lassen, Plumas and Sierra Counties, in California. All 17 known populations of
Webber’s ivesia are within the transition zone between the eastern edge of the northern Sierra Nevada
and the northwestern edge of the Great Basin. One of these populations is presumed extirpated. Given
that a majority of the project area historically was irrigated pasture and more recently was graded, and
native soils have been amended or buried to support golf course development, it is highly unlikely that
Webber’s ivesia currently occurs within the project area.
The area surrounding the Wildcreek site is largely urbanized, with open areas remaining on the northern
hillsides. Given the abundant open space located north of the project site, as well as the potential for
opens space to remain outside of the acreage set aside for a high school, no impacts to the above species
is anticipated.
Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (MBTA), codified at 16 U.S.C. §§ 703–712 provides that it is unlawful
to pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, possess, sell, purchase, barter, import, export, or transport any
migratory bird, or any part, nest, or egg or any such bird, unless authorized under a permit issued by the
Secretary of the Interior. Compliance with the MBTA and BGEPA is attained by completing pre-
disturbance nesting bird and raptor surveys if disturbance is schedule to occur during the nesting season
(generally January 1 – September 15). The survey area is anywhere that vegetation removal and
disturbance is necessary. When an active nest of a protected species is detected, a “buffer” area will be
designated until the nestlings have fledged. In addition, survey coverage will include a search of suitable
nesting habitats within a buffer zone (generally 100 feet for non-raptors and 1,320 feet for raptors)
directly adjacent to project boundaries.
[7]
Wildcreek High School Due Diligence Report
Any active nest of a protected species detected within the project footprint or its adjacent buffer will
receive a protective buffer radius around the nest tree and behavior monitoring may be required as per
consultation with the Nevada Department of Wildlife and/or the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
It is important to note that nesting bird and raptor survey results are only valid for a period of 2 weeks (14
days). Therefore, the first survey is completed 2 weeks prior to the start of disturbance and are repeated
every 2 weeks for disturbance that is scheduled to occur during the nesting season.
If disturbance during the nesting season cannot be avoided, carefully planned and timed removal of
nesting habitat can occur prior to the nesting season, thus minimizing the potential for nesting as well as
minimizing the survey area.
The above requirements are not unique for projects in Northern Nevada in areas with existing vegetation.
With appropriate planning and surveying during construction, potential impacts can be avoided and
minimized during construction.
• Minimal staining was observed in numerous locations throughout the subject property. The
stains were observed primarily in areas where equipment is stored or where petroleum products
are handled. The stains appeared to be the result of drips and/or minor spills and are considered
to be minor in nature.
• A leaking electrical transformer was observed to the south of the maintenance building on the
subject property. Minimal staining was observed adjacent to the unit. Consultation with NV
Energy confirmed that polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB’s) are not utilized in this transformer or
other transformers on the subject property.
• Numerous storage containers containing a range of petroleum and hazardous materials were
observed on the subject property. At the time of the site visit, the observed containers appeared
to be in good condition with no obvious signs of leaking or sever damage.
• Two 2,000-gallon underground storage tanks (UST’s) and one 1,000-gallon UST previously existed
on the subject property. The UST’s formerly stored gasoline and diesel fuel and were removed in
November 1998. Based upon available regulatory information, it appears that the UST’s did not
[8]
Wildcreek High School Due Diligence Report
leak and were ultimately replaced by a 1,000-gallon aboveground storage tank (AST), which is
currently located above the removed UST’s.
• A concentrated area of discarded debris was observed in the northwestern portion of the subject
property. Golf course personnel indicated that this area is utilized for discarding golf course
landscape debris and this was consistent with the observed condition. No evidence of dumping
of petroleum products and/or hazardous materials were observed.
• The golf course maintains a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
groundwater discharge permit associated with the utilization of reclaimed water for irrigation
purposes.
• No historical recognized environmental conditions were found for the subject property.
• No controlled recognized environmental conditions were found for the subject property.
• No recognized environmental conditions were found for the subject property.
McGinley and Associated concluded that based upon their research, observations and the above findings,
they are of the opinion that no additional investigations of the subject property are warranted at this
time.
The proposed site configuration is undetermined at this stage of project and will need to be analyzed
during final design. For the purpose of this due diligence report, provided drainage discussion should be
considered as high level discussion of potential improvements required as a result of development of the
site. Final design, grading and drainage infrastructure sizing will be fully vetted during the design
development and construction document preparation for the project.
An onsite detention facility or pond will be required to maintain pre-development conditions for the major
(100 year) and minor (5 year) storm events. It is estimated that this can be accommodated with a drainage
pond with six acre-feet of storage.
Peak discharge from the upstream Sun Valley Dam during the major storm (100 year) event will be
required to be conveyed across the site. The preferred option, at this stage, is to convey the major storm
event in an open channel. Based on the estimated 100-year flow (399 cfs), a trapezoidal open channel
with a 20-flat bottom, 4:1 side slopes, minimum longitudinal slope of 0.5%, and a depth of 5’ will
accommodate the 100-year flow and maintain an additional 1’ of freeboard above the 100-year flow
elevation.
[9]
Wildcreek High School Due Diligence Report
Furthermore, due to the proximity of the site with the Sun Valley Dam, ½ the Probable Maximum Flood
(PMF) was considered. The ½ PMF was utilized for this analysis, as this was the original design
consideration of the Sun Valley Dam. Estimates show, that if a building is located beyond 300’ from the
edge of the proposed channel, the proposed building can be located outside the ½ PMF flow path with
finish floor grading considerations. Local and state code do not require a building to be located outside
the ½ PMF flow path.
In summary, the project site has been preliminarily reviewed for probable limitations to development
resulting from onsite or offsite drainage, including the Sun Valley Dam. We have found that existing and
proposed drainage considerations do not preclude development of the project site into a potential high
school campus. Final site and building design will have to consider these potential impacts to ensure the
final campus solution works in conjunction with the drainage requirements.
The City of Sparks was consulted as an initial coordination item to understand the potential requirements
of any development of this site. Initial thoughts were that some mitigation to sewer flows may become
part of development of the site. Additional coordination with the City of Sparks will be necessary to
further discuss the downstream constraints identified by the City. Downstream mitigation will likely
require collaboration between the City of Sparks and Washoe County School District to determine timing
and scope of downstream improvements necessary to serve the project.
Utilities
Wood Rodgers, in conjunction with the WCSD, submitted discovery applications to NV Energy and Truckee
Meadows Water Authority. During a discovery process, the utility providers evaluate their ability to meet
the demands of the proposed development and identify if any offsite improvements will be required to
meet the project demands. Please note that the costs identified as part of each discovery do not capture
the full construction cost. There will be additional overhead construction costs associated with each
service or offsite improvement which will result in overall cost to exceed those identified in the
discoveries.
Based on the provided discoveries, each utility company will be able to accommodate the proposed high
school campus with the outlined onsite and offsite improvements. Below is a summary of these findings:
[10]
Wildcreek High School Due Diligence Report
NV Energy - Electrical
Wood Rodgers met with NV Energy and reviewed the Discovery prepared by NV Energy with regards to
electrical service to the proposed campus. NV Energy identified the existing Sullivan Lane distribution line
as the preferred point of connection for electric service. This line has sufficient capacity to serve the
planned campus without the need for offsite improvement. Service will come off this overhead line and
will be conveyed through the site with an underground service.
In addition, some of the current site alternatives include a campus adjacent to and in some cases under
an existing transmission line crossing the parcel in the east-west direction. Wood Rodgers met with NV
Energy to discuss the potential of a campus near or under this existing transmission line. After discussion
with NV Energy it was concluded that this transmission line can remain in place such that minimum
building and site vertical clearances are maintained. If site development cannot maintain minimum
clearances, the transmission line will need to be relocated or raised as appropriate. NV Energy did not
identify any reasons for which this transmission line could not be relocated or raised. If relocated, NV
Energy will require necessary access and easements for the relocated line.
NV Energy can further evaluate impacts to the transmission line or service in more detail once a site
alternative is chosen, however based on the information available to date electrical service or existing
lines will not preclude the construction of the campus at this location.
NV Energy – Gas
Upon review of the gas portion of the discovery, gas service for the campus must be taken from an existing
gas distribution main located in Wedekind Road. NV Energy noted that the gas main within Wedekind will
need to extended approximately 750 feet to provide service to the campus. Furthermore, NV Energy
identified a “few sections of gas main” within Oddie Boulevard which will need to upsized to provide
sufficient capacity to serve the proposed campus. During final design, NV Energy will evaluate these offsite
improvements to determine if they solely benefit the project or if they benefit the system as a whole. If
the improvements are found to benefit the system as a whole, NV Energy will share the offsite
improvements costs.
Once the offsite improvements are completed, NV Energy can meet the campus demands for gas service.
Domestic water service was identified to come from the Sullivan-1 Pressure Zone. The Sullivan-1 Pressure
Zone is a high pressure system and as a result a pressure regulator may be necessary. This is typical for
[11]
Wildcreek High School Due Diligence Report
water services from high pressure zones. The Sullivan-1 Pressure Zone can meet the campus demands for
domestic water service.
Due to the large volume of water needed to meet the fire demands, assumed to be 4000 gpm for 4 hours,
the fire service will be served from the Highland Gravity Zone. Per TMWA’s discovery, the residual
pressure at max day plus fire demand is around 30 psi. Depending on the location of the campus with
relation to the fire service, a fire pump may be necessary to meet residual pressure code requirements at
the building and on-site fire hydrants.
The high school at Wildcreek is currently proposed with several athletic fields, each of which has the
potential of being lit for nighttime activities. Due to the proximity of the project to the RTIA flight path,
care should be taken to ensure any proposed lighting facilities are constructed with light shields and aimed
appropriately to not impact aircraft or aircraft control tower operations.
In summary, the project site has been preliminarily reviewed for probable limitations to development
because of air navigation, aircraft noise impacts and site lighting impacts. We have found that these
considerations do not preclude development of the project site into a potential high school campus. Final
site and building design will have to consider these potential impacts to ensure the final campus solution
works in conjunction with the surrounding aviation activities. The results of this FAA Airspace Review has
been presented to and reviewed with RTIA staff. RTIA staff agreed with the preliminary findings and
recommended that further coordination with the FAA and the RTIA will be required as a part of any
development on this project site, in conjunction with the normal permitting process for the project.
[12]
Wildcreek High School Due Diligence Report
Water Rights
Water rights research was conducted to determine the amount of water rights that are appurtenant to
the property (including reclaimed water) and the ability to convert said water for potable purposes for
use by the future high school. The water rights report is provided in Appendix L, with the following
findings:
• Two surface water rights permits were found for the subject property. The permits have a
combined duty of not to exceed 520.19 acre feet per acre from all sources.
o Permit No. 78563 (Certificate No. 18122) includes 506.784 AFA (Duty of 4.0 acre feet per
acre from all sources) from Wells Creek. The manner of use is for recreation to irrigate
the golf course for both of the Wildcreek Golf Course parcels.
o Permit No. 78564 (Certificate No. 18123) includes 69.20 AFA (Duty of 4.0 acre feet per
acre from all sources) from the Truckee River via Orr ditch, with the manner of use is
recreation to irrigate the golf course.
• The water rights that are appurtenant to the subject property are portions of both of the above
permits, being 119.39 acres at a duty of 4 acre feet per acre for a total of 477.56 AFA.
• Permit No. 78563 (Wells Creek) will not easily be converted to TMWA since it is a creek right with
intermittent flows. Permit No. 78564 (Truckee River via Orr Ditch) can be converted to a municipal
use and into TMWA service by filing an Application to Change at the Nevada State Engineer’s
Office.
Additionally, the Wildcreek Golf Course currently has an Agreement for the Sale and Use of Treated
Effluent with the City of Sparks to provide reclaimed water for irrigation purposes. The agreement (copy
provided in Appendix L) stipulates that the golf course must dedicate 500 acre feet of water annually in
return for 500 acre feet reclaimed water delivery to the site. The agreement further stipulates that the
golf course agrees to purchase 500 acre feet of reclaimed water at a cost of $300,000 annually.
Information provided to Wood Rodgers and WCSD regarding the water rights associated with this effluent
agreement indicate that the City of Sparks currently holds 448.88 acre feet of Truckee River water rights
(an amount originally purchased from the Conforte family with the purchase of the land) under Claim 313.
The 448.88 acre feet of water is currently held by City of Sparks and dedicated as return flow to the
Truckee River. Upon expiration of the Effluent Agreement, the 448.88 acre feet of water rights returns to
the RSCVA.
The agreement contains a 25-year term that expires March 31, 2022. Item 19 of the agreement identifies
that upon sale of the golf course, the Reno Sparks Convention and Visitor’s Authority shall provide the
City of Sparks with 120 days noticed to “consult with the Sparks regarding any such proposed sale and its
possible consequences”.
Traffic Analysis
The proposed High School at Wildcreek would be designed to accommodate up to 2,500 students, include
a main building of roughly 400,000 square feet, and incorporate the elements of a modern high school
[13]
Wildcreek High School Due Diligence Report
including a football stadium, soccer fields, baseball and softball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts,
and other related athletic facilities. The urban areas zoned to attend the High School at Wildcreek are
anticipated to be the current Hug High School zoning district and the entirety of Sun Valley.
Based on the probable zoning boundaries, the vast majority (estimated at 95%) of travel to and from the
high school would be north (Sun Valley) and west (present Hug High zone). Approximately 1,200 of the
2,500 student population will be from Sun Valley and therefore about 50% of travel would be to/from Sun
Valley. It then follows that 45% of travel will be to/from the current Hug High School zone and the
remaining 5% will be miscellaneous trips east on McCarran Boulevard associated with staff and deliveries.
Sullivan Lane, El Rancho Drive, Sun Valley Boulevard, and McCarran Boulevard west of the Wildcreek site,
would be the most affected roadways. McCarran Boulevard east of the site, and roadways further east
from there, would incur only minor traffic increases.
The High School at Wildcreek is expected to be a “closed campus”. Students will not be permitted to leave
campus during the lunch hour or between classes, therefore traffic impacts will be limited to the before
school and after school time periods.
There are several good options for vehicular access to the Wildcreek site. Primary access points would
likely be located on Sullivan Lane and/or at the McCarran Boulevard/Wedekind Road intersection. It is
evident that high quality, high capacity intersections can be reasonably constructed to serve the high
school traffic demand. The various access point options have been considered and discussed with the
City of Sparks and Nevada Department of Transportation, but no decisions have been made at this
preliminary investigation stage.
The following transportation improvements should be anticipated as necessary with the project:
• El Rancho Drive / Sun Valley Boulevard: Convert the existing westbound to northbound right-turn
lane to a free right-turn with a receiving acceleration and merge lane
• El Rancho Drive / Sullivan Lane: Add a channelized right-turn lane to the westbound approach at
a minimum, possibly a roundabout or signal depending on the final distribution of traffic
• Sullivan Lane / North Project Access: Construct a single-lane roundabout or other intersection
improvements
• Sullivan Lane / South Project Access: Construct a single-lane roundabout or other intersection
improvements
• McCarran Boulevard / Sullivan Lane: Construct major intersection improvements including
modifying or adding lanes on the northbound and southbound approaches, lengthening of the
eastbound left-turn lane, signal modifications, and signal phasing/timing revisions
• McCarran Boulevard / Wedekind Road: Construct a traffic signal if permitted by NDOT and the
City of Sparks, OR, construct a median island on McCarran Boulevard limiting traffic movements
to right-in/right-out/left-in access to/from both approaches of Wedekind Road. The median
[14]
Wildcreek High School Due Diligence Report
configuration would prohibit left-turn movements and through movements departing from
Wedekind Road to McCarran Boulevard to improve intersection safety. Improvements at this
intersection would only be needed if the project were to obtain access at McCarran
Blvd/Wedekind Road.
• Project Connection to Wedekind Road: If connection is made to Wedekind Road, construct a
roundabout or other intersection improvements on Wedekind Road north of McCarran Boulevard
• Sullivan Lane & McCarran Boulevard Roadways: Construct sidewalks and bicycle lanes along the
project frontage(s)
• Sullivan Lane, El Rancho Drive & McCarran Boulevard Roadways: Construct sidewalks and bicycle
lanes at select locations to fill in gaps in the existing walking/cycling infrastructure
• Public Transit: Based on RTC input, potentially construct a RTC Ride transit stop on Sullivan Lane
near the campus entrance. The RTC may wish to consider changes to Route 15 to better serve
high school students.
• Other improvements as identified by future traffic impact studies: The intersection mitigation
requirements may change based on the final site plan and access configurations. Additionally,
reviewing agencies may require the evaluation of other intersections, traffic scenarios, or
transportation aspects.
Following is a narrative summary of the various alternative site plan feasibility studies completed to date:
[15]

[16]

• Existing power transmission line may require modification or site plan modifications to work
around power line.
• Orr Ditch requires modification (piping and/or relocation) through site.
As stated above, while several scenarios were investigated as part of this due diligence effort, it is likely
that many more alternatives will be studied prior to selection of a preferred alternative. Each of the
scenarios above, as well as future iterations, present certain opportunities and constraints that will need
to be weighed with other factors such as constructability, project cost, cost benefit, public/stakeholder
input, etc. that will be studied in future phases of schematic design and design development. All of the
above scenarios successfully demonstrate that a high school campus can feasibly be constructed on the
subject parcel in a wide variety of configurations.
Appraisal Report
An Appraisal Report has been completed by Johnson/Perkins/Griffin Real Estate Appraisers and
Consultants for the subject parcel (Refer to Appendix O). The purpose of the appraisal report is to provide
an opinion of the Market Value Range of the subject property. In addition, the appraisal report addresses
the Market Value Range on a per acre foot basis of the water rights associated with the Wildcreek Golf
Course property.

A. Applicability
This section applies to the new construction of any new School (Public or Private).
B. Standards
1. The City’s review of school projects will consider the following criteria during the Administrative
Plan Review process:
a. Building Setbacks;
b. Landscaping; and
c. Parking;
2. Site Standards. The following standards deal with the erection of any new school building, and
the addition or alteration of an existing school building.
b. Purpose: Having no minimum or maximum height requirements provides for the flexibility
to build unique facilities consistent with the character of the neighboring community. In the
future schools in the urban core may have a smaller footprint and be two or more stories in
height. Depending on the type of school and the amenities it offers, the height will need to
vary.
c. Building setbacks. One foot distance for every foot in height when adjacent to residential
uses. The one foot requirement does apply only to those elevations adjacent to residential
uses. Each elevation will determine the amount of setback, for instance a 25’ front facing
elevation will require a 25’ setback in the front, a 30’ side elevation will require a 30’ setback
on that side, and that same building that has a rear facing elevation adjacent to a use other
than residential will have no setback requirement.
d. Landscaping. Up to 20% of the site. Landscaping details will be determined based on type
of school, community character, and site specifics such as slope and soil quality. These
details will be determined during a pre-application meeting with the City and WCSD.
e. Parking. This is a minimum standard and also presumes all relevant Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requirements will be
met.
A. Applicability
This section applies to any use which stores or processes chemicals designated by the State of
Nevada as Hazardous.
B. Standards. Any applicant with the desire to store or process chemicals designated by the State of
Nevada to be hazardous shall obtain a Conditional Use Permit through the City of Sparks prior to
establishing this use.
A. Applicability
b. Construction Yard,
c. Farmer’s Market,
e. Outdoor Sales,
2. For temporary uses requiring a temporary use permit, additional standards may be applied to
the permit by the Administrator.
A. Applicability
1. Permanently maintained off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with this Section for
all developed property within the City.
2. Lawfully established uses which do not conform to this Section are considered to be
substandard developments.
3. If the use of any developed lot or parcel is changed to increase the number of parking spaces
required under this Section, all requirements of this Section apply to that lot or site.
B. Exceptions
1. All required parking must be located on the same site as the use it serves, except in the I, TC, C2,
C1, and PO when off-site parking (excluding the public right of way) may be considered through
a shared parking plan or alternative requirements through:
(1) In any development where the requirements of this Section can be met by non-
concurrent, joint use of the same spaces by more than one business, the Administrator
may permit the parking requirement to be reduced accordingly.
(2) All joint use parking spaces shall be located within ¼ of a mile of the uses that they
serve. If the spaces are located off – site, this distance is measured from the property
line of the use served.
(3) The Administrator may approve the use of alternative parking space requirements
based on Urban Land Institute, American Planning Association, Institute of
Transportation Engineers or other analytical studies approved by the Administrator, that
take into account monthly, hourly and weekly variation; peaking characteristics, ride
share programs, proximity to transit stops and shared uses. The applicant shall justify
the use of and appropriateness of alternative parking number calculations.
2. All required parking must be on the same site it serves. Exceptions may be considered up to ¼
mile from the respective site in the Mixed Use District provided that:
a. Development within this district may use shared parking arrangements to reduce overall
parking requirements, as provided in Chapter 20.04. On-street parking along the frontage of
any use is counted toward required off-street parking.
b. Onsite parking requirements may be further reduced through a Shared Parking Credit.
c. The Administrator may approve additional parking credits if the applicant provides a parking
study that demonstrates that parking demands will be met with an alternative parking
configuration or requirement.
3. A low income parking credit may be provided by the Administrator for residential uses that are
income or rent restricted and are at or below 45% of AMI (Area Median Income) through a
parking study.
4. For residential uses on lots or sites occupied by no more than four dwelling units, the
Administrator may approve a parking layout which contains tandem parking spaces.
5. In parking facilities accommodating at least twenty cars, up to 25% of the parking spaces
required by this Section may be sized for compact cars. The spaces shall conform to the
minimum sizes and design geometry for compact cars, contained in subsection D, and shall be
given preferred locations within the facility. Each compact space shall be clearly marked
"compact only."
6. Parking for the disabled shall be provided in all parking facilities serving the public.
b. One out of every eight accessible spaces shall be van accessible. If only one accessible space
is required, it must be van accessible. Accessible parking spaces shall be at least eight feet
wide and have an adjacent five foot wide aisle. Van accessible spaces shall be at least eight
feet wide and have an adjacent eight foot wide aisle. These spaces shall be located on the
shortest accessible route of travel to an accessible entrance. Those spaces must be indicated
by a sign which complies with NRS 484.408 and the bottom of which is at least seven feet
above the ground. For all van accessible spaces, an additional sign indicating that it is van
accessible shall be mounted below the above described sign.
7. Off-street parking facilities shall be striped and otherwise marked so that individual spaces and
aisles are clearly indicated. Directional markers and signs indicating spaces reserved for compact
cars and the handicapped shall be painted on the pavement or placed on standards, as directed
by the Administrator.
8. All off-street parking lots as well as driveways and access roads must be paved. The
Administrator may grant an exception for any parking lot which is, of necessity, subject to
regular use by heavy construction equipment.
A Conditional Use Permit may authorize the use of unpaved parking lots for up to one year. Designs
for paving, curb and gutter, sidewalks, utilities and drainage for all off-street parking facilities shall
be approved by the Administrator prior to construction.
1. This section specifies the required number of off-street parking spaces related to various land
uses.
2. For any use not specifically covered by one of the following categories, the requirement shall be
determined by the Administrator based on actual parking demand associated with that use.
3. The Administrator may require spaces in addition to those specified in this section if special
circumstances exist.

4. When an existing building is expanded, parking and loading spaces shall be added to meet the
requirements of the parking ratio table for the entire building. Exceptions may be considered as
outlined in this chapter.
D. Parking Geometry
1. All required off-street parking facilities shall be designed and constructed according to the
following geometric configurations:
Angle A D L N P Q V W X Y
(degrees)
Angle A D L N P Q V W X Y
(degrees)
2. Curbs shall be provided where parking adjoins landscaping and sidewalks. A three foot
overhang is permitted where parking abuts a landscape strip. This allows for a 15’ stall length.
Beginning at the intersection of the centerline of Victorian Avenue and the centerline of
Fifteenth Street, and proceeding thence northerly along said extended line to its
intersection with the centerline of D Street and Victorian Plaza Circle, thence easterly
along the centerline of D street to its intersection with the centerline of the Pyramid
Way, with the centerline of Victorian Avenue, extended westerly along said centerline
to its point of origin.
a. The City Council may, by resolution, approve and adopt a form of agreement for the use of
spaces in the parking district which include, but are not limited to, penalties for late
payments, security for the payment of obligations, maintenance provisions and procedures
to withdraw from the parking district.
4. Requirements for commercial uses marked with a diamond () in Parking Ratio Table are
modified for Parking District No. 1 by the following exemption program:
a. The indicated commercial uses are exempt from all parking requirements if they qualify
based on one of the following 3 criteria:
(1) New construction of a building less than 10,000 square feet in size;
(2) New construction of a building addition where the total area of the building addition
and the existing building is less than 10,000 square feet in size;
(3) An indicated commercial use occupying an existing building of less than 10,000 square
feet in size.
b. If the 10,000 square foot limit is exceeded for an indicated commercial use, the use shall
receive a parking exemption equal to the 10,000 square foot limit, and is responsible for
providing parking for the area exceeding the 10,000 square foot limit in accordance with the
requirements listed in the parking ratio table.
c. If a business has existing excess parking, it may count that excess parking towards any new
parking required as a result of expansion or new construction.
5. Petition for inclusion in the parking district. At any time following the district formation, any
parcel of land, whether contiguous or noncontiguous to the district, may be added to the district
if the use is identified with a diamond and the owner of such parcel files with the City Council a
petition for inclusion and the City Council grants such petition. The City Council must find that
sufficient additional parking space is available in the parking district and that inclusion will
benefit the parking district in order to grant the petition. If the petition is granted, the parcel is
then entitled to the same rights as those which apply to other lands in the district, and is subject
to all fees levied on a district member.
6. Requirements for hotel/casino uses in Victorian Square Parking District No. 1 are 50% of what is
required in Table 20.04.011-3 Parking Ratios.
F. Off-street Loading
1. In order to avoid undue interference with the public use of streets or alleys, there shall be
provided and maintained adequate off-street space for standing, loading or unloading for those
uses involving receipt and distribution of vehicles or merchandise and materials off-street.
a. Each required loading space shall be at least 10 feet by 45 feet with a 14 foot height
clearance.
b. For a non-residential building containing less than 3,000 square feet of gross floor area, a
combined parking and loading area is acceptable.
A. Applicability
1. A presubmittal meeting with staff is required for any development project to be undertaken on
project sites having slope gradients of at least 10% or greater over at least 25% of the site. For
development greater than 10 acres and/or when exceeding any minimum standard in this
section a Conditional Use Permit may be applied for. For projects less than 10 acres and
compliance with standards is demonstrated, the Administrative Review process shall be utilized.
2. The minimum average slope of a project site is used to identify the threshold (i.e., a slope map).
3. The major deviation process ( see Chapter 20.05) does not apply to this section.
B. Design Policies. Any development subject to the requirements of this Section shall be designed in
accordance with the best applicable practices of land use planning, engineering, geology, hydrology,
civil and structural engineering, environmental design, architecture and landscape architecture,
including but not limited to the following:
1. The site of the proposed development shall be analyzed to identify the design constraints
imposed by hydrological and geological conditions, soils, slopes and other natural topographic
conditions. In order to secure a Conditional Use Permit, the project shall respect the natural
constraints in the design of the development.
2. The development shall be designed with consideration for limiting aesthetic degradation of the
site, as well as erosion, sedimentation and other hazards.
4. Buildings should be designed and placed on the site so as to visually complement each other and
the natural land forms of the site. The placement of buildings on or near hilltops or ridges must
show a high degree of sensitivity to the terrain and its visual impact. Definitive plans shall be
prepared that clearly demonstrate this sensitivity for project approval.
C. Grading
1. No grading or clearing of any kind may be initiated until a final grading permit is issued unless
exempted by Sparks Municipal Code Title 15. Grading shall also comply with the most restrictive
requirements of Title 15 of the Sparks Municipal Code.
2. Grading shall be designed so that finished grading resembles natural land forms as much as
practical with rounded transitions or variable slope gradients.
3. A graded slope that exceeds 33⅓ % (3:1) and over 3 feet in height shall have a solution
presented that stabilizes the slope and minimizes scarring.
4. The portion of any development site which may be cleared, graded or otherwise disturbed by
construction is limited to a percentage of the site area, based on the natural slope of the site, as
follows:
a. The applicant shall provide a slope or "cell" map which groups small areas of similar slope
together, gridded at a maximum contour interval of 2 feet.
b. The slope categories or groups are as listed below. This establishes the maximum disturbed
area within each slope category over the entire site.
c. Then the maximum area within each category that can be disturbed is calculated by
applying the fraction indicated below:
Slope Category Maximum Disturbed Area
0— 15 % Unlimited
16—25% ¾ of the category
26—30% ⅓ of the category
30% or above When developing on natural slopes over 30% project design shall
be enhanced to create a 2:1 ratio of non-constrained area being
preserved as open space for every portion of area with slopes
over 30% that is developed
d. Once the calculation of disturbed area is made, this becomes the total disturbed area over
the entire site. Disturbed areas can be aggregated and do not need to be specific to the
slope category.
5. The final grading plan for the development shall include mapping and calculations necessary to
demonstrate compliance with these requirements.
6. Before a grading permit is issued, a temporary fence shall be constructed on the site defining
the limits of the area to be disturbed as shown on the final grading plan. That fence shall be
inspected and approved by the Administrator before the grading permit is issued and shall
remain in place until final grading inspection and approval.
1. For any project which involves a graded area larger than one acre, a temporary erosion and
sedimentation plan, including dust control must be approved by the Administrator before a
grading permit is issued. If grading of an area larger than one acre is to proceed in phases, the
erosion and sedimentation control plan shall contain a phasing schedule showing how large an
area will be exposed at any one time. Land will be considered exposed from the time it is
cleared, graded or otherwise disturbed until it is permanently stabilized by paving, landscaping
or vegetation according to approved plans.
2. At any time during construction when more than one acre is exposed, all temporary erosion and
sedimentation control measures shall be continuously applied and maintained.
3. In order to keep the grading permit valid, a bond or other surety in an amount determined by
the Administrator must be provided by the developer.
E. Landscaping
a. Cleared,
b. Graded,
3. Interior side yard sloped areas of individual lots are exempt from the landscaping and irrigation
requirement.
4. Planting shall be designed to achieve 90% ground coverage of any disturbed area within 3 years.
F. Open Space
1. Any portion of a development on which clearing and grading is not allowed under subsection C
(undisturbed area) must be:
2. If the application involves subdivision plat approval, the applicant must provide a plan to
maintain any required open space which is not a part of a developed lot.
3. Open space areas shall include a variety of slope gradients and not contain only slopes within
one slope category.
G. Hilltops or Ridgelines
Any hilltop or ridgeline, that is identified by the City as a significant hilltop or ridgeline, shall have
additional setback requirements. The setback requirement shall vary dependent on the slope(s) of
the ridgeline or hilltop and the proposed heights or structures.
H. Application Requirements
In addition to the usual requirements for a Conditional Use Permit or Administrative Review; the
application for any development subject to the requirements of this Section shall include the
information required in Appendix A7 and A8.
A. Applicability
Administrative Review is required –
B. Initiation
The applicant files an application for Administrative
Review with the Administrator.
C. Completeness
See Section 20.05.02.
D. Notice
Not required.
E. Decision
approved, the Administrator shall submit to the applicant a letter and conditions of approval
relative to the Administrative Review.
2. Issuance of the Administrative Review does not occur until all the conditions of approval are
satisfied.
3. If the conditions of approval are not satisfied within 2 years of the date of the letter from the
Administrator, or within another specified time limit stated as a condition of approval, the
approval is automatically rescinded.
F. Approval Criteria
The Administrative Review application shall comply with all applicable requirements of this Title,
including the following:
1. The proposed development shall not create unsafe traffic conditions or cause a reduction in the
level of service on surrounding streets, taking into consideration:
a. Any change in traffic conditions on abutting streets created by additional trips generated by
the proposed development,
b. The layout of the site with respect to locations and dimensions of vehicular and pedestrian
entrances, exits, drives, walkways and fire-department access lanes,
c. The arrangement and adequacy of off-street parking facilities to prevent traffic congestion,
d. The location, arrangement and dimensions of truck loading and unloading facilities,
G. Subsequent Applications
c. The Administrator determines that proposed changes to an approved project will impact
surrounding properties.
2. Amendments to Administrative Reviews must follow the same procedure as a new application,
including the application fee and information required by the Appendices to this Code.
H. Appeals
See Section 20.05.13.
I. Scope of Approval
1. Administrative Review Certificate. After the applicant satisfies the conditions of approval, the
Administrator will issue a certificate indicating that the conditions are satisfied.
2. Responsibility. The property owner shall comply with and maintain the conditions of approval
of an Administrative Review permit. An Administrative Review runs with the land, subject to
termination in accordance with the procedures in this Section.
3. Modifications. In issuing building permits, the Administrator may approve minor adjustments
of the location and/or dimensions of buildings, parking areas and roadways if they do not
change any points of ingress or egress to the site or reduce the parking or landscaping
requirements to less than the minimum required by this Title. No modification of an approved
application can be approved unless specifically provided in writing.
a. An applicant has 2 years to establish the permitted use after the Administrative Review is
approved.
b. If the permitted use is not established or construction to accommodate that use begun and
diligently pursued during this time, the Administrative Review or Administrative Review
Permit becomes null and void. If the use is established during this time, the Administrative
Review Permit is valid until revoked unless there is a specific expiration date.
c. The Administrator may extend the expiration date for up to one year if:
(1) the applicant files a written request, which includes the current status of the project,
with the Administrator before the approval expires.
J. Revocation.
c. The permit was granted on the basis of false statements or fraudulent application.
2. If the Administrator has reason to believe that an administrative review permit is subject to
revocation, the Administrator may institute proceedings to revoke the permit.
K. Recordkeeping
The Administrator and the applicant shall maintain a record of the Administrative Review and
Administrative Review Permit.

Dear Mr. Gabica:
Presented herein are the results of Wood Rodgers’ geotechnical exploration and associated geotechnical
due diligence letter for the referenced project located in Sparks, Washoe County, Nevada. The
assessments and recommendations presented in this geotechnical report have been framed, in part,
around the surface and subsurface conditions identified by our exploration program which was
developed to be consistent with locally accepted industry practices regarding exploratory methods and
geotechnical investigations for similar type projects.
FINDINGS SUMMARY
Based on our exploration and analyses, the site is suitable for the proposed development. Once soils
have been adequately prepared, standard spread foundations should perform well for the development.
If it is desired to limit grading, structural slab foundations or pier and grade beam foundations may be
considered.
The following paragraphs present our findings and address our bases for our assessments. These
sections should be consulted if more detailed information is desired in making your due diligence
assessments.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
It is our understanding the property will be
developed to provide grading, infrastructure, and
construction of facilities to include: a high school,
athletic fields, a pre‐kindergarten building, and a
community center with a natatorium. Development
area is approximately 100 acres and is located
within the northeast corner of the Sullivan Lane
and North McCarran Boulevard intersection.
Any street improvements will be dedicated to their
respective regulatory agencies (i.e. City of Sparks or
NDOT) and their design standards. Underground
utilities will be provided by a variety of public and
private companies.
The project is anticipated to be phased for a balance of cuts and fills. However, imported material is
anticipated to be required to develop separation layers between the native clayey soils and structural
elements including standard spread foundations, concrete slabs‐on‐grade, pavements, or any other
structure that derives support from the underlying soil. The amount of required import would be
reduced if structural foundations (post‐tensioned slabs, conventionally reinforced slabs) are utilized.
Cuts and fills are anticipated to be less than 20‐feet.
SITE CONDITIONS
The overall site, located in Sparks, Washoe County, Nevada, is contained within APN 027‐011‐05 and
encompasses a total area of 212 acres. The development is contained in Section 32, Township 20N,
Range 20E, M.D.M. As shown in Figure 1, open space and Wildcreek Park border the lot to the north,
single family houses border the lot to the east, southeast corner and northwestern corner, Wedekind
Road and North McCarran Boulevard surround the subject property along the southern extents, and
Sullivan Lane and El Rancho Drive border the property along the western extents. Additionally, Sierra
Pacific Power Company owns a 2.4 acre lot on the northeast corner of the Sullivan Lane and El Rancho
Drive intersection.
The Orr Ditch splits near the northwestern corner of the lot; the ditch runs roughly parallel along the
western perimeter of the subject property as well as meandering from the split in the northwestern
corner to the southeastern area of the lot. The anticipated development area is within the boundary of
the Orr Ditch. Artificial ponds are scattered throughout the existing property in‐between the split of the
Orr Ditch and are anticipated to present heavy organic layers along the bottom and sideds of the ponds.

The topography of the site varies but overall slopes to the south and to the center of the two Orr Ditch
channels. In roughly the center of the Orr Ditch boundary the development area gently slopes down to
the south at approximately one percent; slopes rise from in‐between the Orr Ditch channels to the
western lot perimeter at approximately four to nine percent and to the eastern extents of the
anticipated development at approximately six to seven percent. Slope facings in‐between the Orr Ditch
channels contain localized areas that contain shallow slopes or flat areas. East of the eastern Orr Ditch
boundary and towards the eastern extents of the subject property the slopes become significantly
steeper. Vegetation is moderate throught the project site and consists mostly of grasses, brush, and
mature trees. The majority of the trees border the Orr Ditch and artificial ponds.
EXPLORATION
The project was explored on June 30, 2017, July 26, 2017, and October 31, 2017, by performing
geophysical surveying (ReMi) and advancing two bore holes using a CME 55 rubber tire mounted drill
rig, respectively. The approximate locations of the ReMi lines and bore holes are shown on Plate A‐1 –
Site Map and Approximate Exploration locations. The maximum depth of the bore holes was 25‐feet
below the existing ground surface.
Data acquisition of primary wave (p‐wave) velocities was performed along four survey lines to provide a
basis to assess the potential rippability of the more significant cut zones. Shear wave velocity
measurements have been relied upon for the development of geotechnical design characterization of
soil stiffness. This information also aids in a screening protocol for assessing liquefaction potential.
Wood Rodgers’ personnel examined and classified all soils in the field in general accordance with ASTM D
2488 (Description and Identification of Soils). During exploration, representative bulk samples were placed in
sealed plastic bags and returned to our Reno, Nevada
laboratory for testing. Logs of the bore holes are
presented as Plate A‐2. A USCS chart has been included
as Plate A‐3 ‐ Unified Soil Classification and Key to Soil
Descriptions.
GEOLOGIC AND GENERAL SOIL AND
GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS
Based on the USGS’ National Geologic Map Database
of the Mount Rose NE Quadrangle (Ramelli, A.R.,
and Henry, C.D., 2010), and presented in Figure 2,
the site is mapped in an area of Truckee River
younger alluvial deposits (Qay) and alluvial fan
deposits (Qfp). The eastern extents of the

development area encroaches upon hydrothermally altered andesite and breccia of Peavine Mountain
(Tpaa). These hydrothermally altered andesites can become critical considerations in site development
due to the presence of highly altered zones that present highly plastic clay joints and seams.
The USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) maps the development area as mostly
consisting of clays and fat clays within the upper two to five feet. The soil units encountered in our
explorations were mostly consistent with the geologic map and NRCS and typically consisted of medium
to high plasticity clayey sands and sandy lean clay to fat clays in the upper 5‐feet. Below 5‐feet, layers of
silty sands, well graded sands, clayey sands, and sandy lean clays to fat clays were encountered. The
granular soil exhibited medium dense to very dense consistencies where the sandy lean clays and fat
clays were mostly stiff to very stiff throughout the profiles. Approximately 72 percent and 56 percent of
the boring’s profiles exhibited medium to high plasticity soils in bore holes BH‐1 and BH‐2, respectively.
The soil profiles encountered in our explorations typically consisted of clayey sand and sandy clay to fat
clays capping complex blends of sands, clays, and silts.
Groundwater was not encountered in either of our borings. The Nevada Division of Water Resources has
a record of a well on the address of Wildcreek Golf Course in which the hole depth was 145‐feet; no
static water level was encountered.
SEISMIC HAZARDS
The Truckee Meadows lies within the western extreme of the Basin and Range physiographic province
sandwiched between the Pah Rah Range to the east and the Carson Range to the west. The Basin and
Range province is characterized by a series of valleys bounded by north/south trending mountain
ranges, byproducts of the seismically active zones of the Wasatch Front in Utah and the Sierra Nevada
Mountains along the California/Nevada border. Faulting and seismic activity are integral to the
formation of this series of alternating valleys and mountain ranges. As a consequence the presence of
faults, active and inactive, is common in western Nevada.
A criteria for evaluating earthquake faults has been formulated by a professional committee for the
State of Nevada Seismic Safety Council. The guidelines present that faults with evidence of movement
within the past 10,000 years (Holocene time) are considered Holocene Active. Faults with evidence of
displacement within the last 130,000 years are considered Late Quaternary Active and faults with
movement within the last 1.6 million years are considered Quaternary Active. The USGS Earthquake
Hazards Program was accessed to review the proximity of any active faults as previously characterized.
The closest mapped fault is located approximately 1.3 miles to the northwest the site; this fault is dated
as latest Quaternary with a slip rate of less than 0.2 mm/year and is sufficiently distant that offsets or
additional considerations would not be required.

S‐wave velocities typically less than 700 ft/s are required for liquefaction to develop. The results of our
s‐wave velocity profiles presented in Appendix A encountered a shear wave velocity less than 700 ft/s
on ReMi line L‐2; however, this was encountered in the upper 5 feet of soil that is cohesive in nature and
is above the groundwater table. Therefore, liquefaction is not anticipated to be of a concern for the
development.
DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATIONS
The following paragraphs present Wood Rodgers’ assumptions, evaluations, assessments, and
recommendations for construction of the residence on the referenced property.
Seismic Design Considerations
Based on a representative latitude and longitude of the site (39.5591 N, ‐119.7672 E) and Site Class D for
essential facilities, Table 1 presents a summary of ASCE 7‐10 seismic design values.
These values were developed from the USGS program; the detailed USGS report for an essential facility
is presented in Appendix B.

Site Preparation and Grading
The assessments presented herein are dependent upon the final grades decided for the site. We have
developed these assessments on the assumption that structural fill will be the preferred mitigation
approach to dealing with these potentially highly expansive units. Due to the underlying hydrothermally
altered andesite, the presence of near surface clay, and medium to highly plastic clayey sand and sandy
lean clay soils, over‐excavation and replacement with structural fill, or raising grade to accommodate a
structural fill separation layer will be required to achieve adequate foundation support. We anticipate 2
to 4‐feet of structural fill separation may be required beneath foundation grade for standard spread
foundations. This separation layer may be reduced to approximately 1 to 2‐feet below interior slabs‐on‐
grade, roadways, and site work.
Layering within the native soils is too erratic to allow the native soils to be used as a structural fill
source. Clay soils may be used as fill, however, special placement protocols (such as moisture
conditioning and compaction) will be need to be developed to mitigate their associated expansion
potential.

Site Stiffness and Potential Excavatability
Per the ASCE 7‐10 Standard, Site Class C (Vs100 between 1,200 ‐ 2,500 ft/s) shear wave (s‐wave) velocity
profiles were encountered in the northern portions of the property (Lines 3 and 4); additionally, Site
Class D (Vs100 between 600 – 1,200 ft/s) profiles were obtained for the southern portion of the
property (Lines 1 and 2). Vs100, the design value around which Site Class is determined, was 1096 ft/s.
Data acquisition of p‐wave measurements occurred along the four survey lines. Results from the
geophysical surveys were considered for rippability; the profiles are presented in Appendix A. Charts
presented in Caterpillar’s Handbook of Ripping (12th Edition) indicate that rippability can become
difficult using a CAT D8 ripper at 4,000 ft/s and adverse conditions exist around 5,000 ft/s. Table 2,
below, summarizes where each geophysical p‐wave survey line encountered 4,000 ft/s and 5,000 ft/s.
Caterpillar also indicates that rock mechanics, in‐place rock mass characteristics (rock type, degree of
weathering, bedding features, joint characteristics, and many other geologic features), ripping tractor
horsepower, gross weight, and down pressure all influence rippability and should be considered as part
of the overall rippability assessment when planning grading means and methods. Once preliminary
grading plans have been developed, depth of rock excavation should be examined to see if additional
studies would be warranted. Based on our preliminary findings and assessments it appears as though
the bulk of the rock would be excavatable on the majority of the site. Pockets or seams of hard rock are
expected in the northern portions of the property where p‐wave measurements indicate 5,000 ft/s as
high as the ground surface (Line 4). It should be cautioned that the bedrock units associated with the
site are known to have competent rock pockets, within a field of weak rock, which may require special
excavation techniques.
Table 2 ‐ Geophysical P‐Wave Velocity Summary
Line Depth (ft) to 4000 ft/s Depth (ft) to 5,000 ft/s
L‐1 30 ‐ 65 50 ‐ 75
L‐2 30 ‐ 40 35 ‐ 50
L‐3 15 ‐ 50 20 ‐ 55
L‐4 0 ‐ 25 0 ‐ 30
Foundations
Once soils have been adequately prepared, standard spread foundations should perform well for the
development. If it is desired to limit grading, structural slab foundations or pier and grade beam
foundations may be considered.
Additional Exploration
Due to the need for imported structural fill for the proposed development, additional exploration may
be performed on the surrounding hillsides in order to develop a rockfill borrow pit.

Re: Wildcreek Golf Course Common and Sensitive Species of Wildlife and Plants
In response to your request, I completed a US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) database query (IPaC
Information for Planning and Consultation online tool) to determine if there is potential for any federally
protected species to occur within the Wildcreek Golf Course. In addition, we have obtained a formal species list
from the USFWS (attached) for the project area.
We have submitted a data request to the Nevada Natural Heritage Program to determine if there is potential for
rare or at-risk species to occur within the project area, and we have reviewed the Nevada Department of Wildlife
GIS Data Clearinghouse to determine what if any game species may occur within the project area.
Results of these queries are presented below.
USFWS IPaC
The database query revealed that there are 4 threatened, endangered, or candidate (sensitive) species that have
potential to occur within the project area and/or may be affected by the proposed project. In accordance with the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 as amended (ESA, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), threatened and endangered species
are protected under the ESA, however candidate specie have no protection under the ESA but are included for
consideration because they could be listed prior to the completion of the project. In addition, 17 migratory birds
protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act are expected to
occur or may be affected by the proposed project.
Sensitive species include:
Endangered Cui-ui (Chasmistes cujus) - The Cui-ui was listed by the USFWS as endangered in March of 1967
(Federal Register Vol. 32, p. 4001). There is no critical habitat currently designated for this specie, but are they
protected everywhere they are found (USFWS, 2014). Cui-ui is a lake sucker found in only one place in the
world; Pyramid Lake and the lower Truckee River, all within the PLIR. It spends most of its life in Pyramid
Lake, leaving only to spawn in the lower Truckee River between March and June when it reaches maturity
between 6-12 years of age (USFWS 2014). The lower Truckee River is considered the river segment from
Wadsworth, NV to Pyramid Lake.
Essential habitat for cui-ui has been determined, by the USFWS, to be the Truckee River from Hunter Creek in
West Reno to, and including, Pyramid Lake and its tributaries. No critical habitat has been designated for the
cui-ui (USFWS, 1992). Although the USFWS Cui-ui Recovery Plan (1992) states the essential habitat has been
determined to be the Truckee River from Hunter Creek to Pyramid Lake, this most likely represents the historical
occupied habitat of the Cui-ui. Cui-ui have not been known to pass the Derby Dam since its construction in 1905.
Derby Dam is approximately 31 river miles upstream of the project area and approximately 20 river miles
downstream of Reno.
Current populations of cui-ui in the lower Truckee are augmented by hatchery releases by the PLPT. The PLPT
raise cui-ui larvae at the Big Bend Cui-ui Facility within the PLIR. Larvae are then released in the spring at
www.woodrodgers.com
multiple points along the lower Truckee River below the Truckee River Bridge near Wadsworth, NV on Interstate
80. PLPT Fisheries annual goal is to stock up to 2,000,000 cui-ui larvae per year in the Lower Truckee River.
Release locations include but are not limited to the Truckee River Bridge on I-80 (near Wadsworth), below
Numana Dam and PLPT Fish Hatchery, Nixon Bridge and above Marble Bluff Dam. Release locations are
limited by existing flow levels (too high or too low) and accessibility of equipment to the Truckee River.
Potential for effects: Although the USFWS Cui-ui Recovery Plan (1992) states the essential habitat has been
determined to be the Truckee River from Hunter Creek to Pyramid Lake, Cui-ui have not been known to pass the
Derby Dam since its construction in 1905. Derby Dam is approximately 31 river miles upstream of the project
area and approximately 20 river miles downstream of Reno. Therefore, the proposed project will have no effect,
positive or negative, to the Cui-ui or its essential habitat.

Threatened Lahontan Cutthroat Trout (LCT) (Oncorhynchus clarkii henshawi) - Listed as Endangered on October
13, 1970 and reclassified as Threatened in 1975 (Federal Register Vol. 40 17847 – 17848). There is no critical
habitat currently designated for this specie, but are they protected everywhere they are found. LCT inhabit lakes
and streams, but are obligatory stream spawners. Distance traveled to spawning sites varies with stream size and
strain of LCT (strain refers to locally adapted populations in a particular area or environment). Optimal stream
habitat is characterized by clear, cold water with silt-free substrate and a 1:1 pool-riffle ratio. Streams should have
a variety of habitats including areas with slow deep water, abundant instream cover (i.e., large woody debris,
boulders, undercut banks), and relatively stable streamflow and temperature regimes. Streambanks should be well
vegetated to provide cover, shade, and bank stabilization. Lacustrine LCT populations have adapted to a wide
variety of lake habitats from oligotrophic (with low nutrient levels and primary productivity) alpine lakes (e.g.,
Independence Lake) to large, productive desert terminal lakes (e.g., Pyramid Lake). Unlike most freshwater fish
species, LCT have been reported to tolerate high alkalinity and high total dissolved solid levels.
Although no critical habitat rules have been published for the LCT, within the Truckee River Watershed, LCT
occupy approximately 97 miles of streams and 111,064 acres of lake habitat. Self-sustaining populations of the
species occur in only approximately 10.7 percent of the historic stream habitats and 0.4 percent of the historic
lake habitats (USFWS, 2009).
In 1995, a cooperative 5-year effort was initiated between the USFWS, Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe (PLPT), and
NDOW to study LCT supplementation in each of five Truckee River zones: (1) Wadsworth to Pyramid Lake, (2)
Derby Dam to Wadsworth Bridge, (3) East McCarran Bridge to Derby Dam, (4) Mayberry Bridge to East
McCarran Bridge, and (5) Nevada/California State line to Mayberry Bridge (NDOW 2001). A follow-up creel
census each year was used to determine catch rates. Results over the 5-year period indicated that the catch
consisted of 23 percent LCT compared to 64 percent rainbow trout and 12 percent brown trout (USCOE 2013).
NDOW’s annual assessments have consisted primarily of electrofishing surveys, and in 2001, creel census data
was used to supplement the presence-absence data from Truckee River surveys (USCOE 2013). In addition, the
Desert Research Institute (DRI) has collected baseline hydrologic and biological data near the McCarran Ranch
(Lower Truckee River Reach) in 2003 and 2004. In general, these surveys indicate that rainbow trout and brown
trout make up the majority of the salmonid fishery in the Lower Truckee River. However, without the precision of
population metric data, any trend in these populations is speculative.
Potential for effects: Six river basins, several lakes and streams have been designated as recovery waters for the
LCT; focusing on the Orr Ditch – the Truckee River Operating Agreement (TROA), (USBOR Final Rule
12/05/2008) (Federal Register Vol. 73, No. 235 74031 – 74039) in compliance with the Truckee-Carson- Pyramid
Lake Water Rights Settlement Act “Provide for the enhancement of spawning flows available in the Lower
Truckee River for the Pyramid Lake fishery (endangered cui-ui and threatened Lahontan cutthroat trout [LCT]) in
a manner consistent with the Secretary’s responsibilities under the Endangered Species Act, as amended (ESA).
Therefore, it is reasonable that any project that concerns flows in the Orr Ditch must maintain flows through the
ditch in order to be in compliance with the TROA, Truckee-Carson- Pyramid Lake Water Rights Settlement Act,
and the ESA. If flows are maintained in the Orr Ditch during project development, a project may affect, but is not
likely to adversely affect LCT.

North American wolverine (Gulo gulo luscus) – Proposed threatened February 4, 2013 (Federal Register Vol., 78,
No. 23 7864). Wolverines are habitat generalists and use diverse, coniferous forest types and non-forested alpine
habitats (Banci 1994; Copeland 1996; Hornocker and Hash 1981). Although wolverines historically occurred in
the Sierra Nevada (CWHR v8.1), this species is not known to occur in the Truckee Meadow. Furbearer surveys
using track plates and camera stations were conducted in the Sierra Nevada range from 1996 to 2002. No
wolverines were detected and it likely this species may be extirpated from the survey area, or present in very low
densities (Zielinski et al 2005). However, a wolverine was detected in a camera survey north of Truckee,
California (at least 40 miles north northwest of the project area) in February 2008 and the same individual was
detected again in March 2009. Scientists confirmed it was the same animal through DNA from hair samples and
found that it was a male who dispersed from the Sawtooth Range in Idaho.
Potential for effects: Based on the preceding, it is unlikely that North American wolverine occur within the
Truckee Meadows of Reno, Nevada.

Webber’s ivesia (Ivesia webberi) - Webber’s ivesia is a member of the rose family and was listed as threatened
June 3, 2014 (Federal Register Vol., 79, No. 106 31878). Webber’s ivesia is a low-growing, perennial forb with
clusters of leaves that lie nearly flat on the ground, and are approximately ten inches in diameter. Webber’s ivesia
has greenish-gray leaves, dark red, wiry stems, and headlike clusters of small bright yellow flowers. Flowering
typically begins in May and extends through June and the whole plant becomes reddish-tinged late in the season.
Webber’s ivesia is restricted to sites with sparse vegetation and shallow, rocky, clay soils on mid elevation flats,
benches or terraces between 4,475 and 6,237 feet elevation in Washoe and Douglas Counties in Nevada, and in
Lassen, Plumas and Sierra Counties, in California. All 17 known populations of Webber’s ivesia are within the
transition zone between the eastern edge of the northern Sierra Nevada and the northwestern edge of the Great
Basin. One of these populations is presumed extirpated.
Potential for effects: Given that a majority of the project area historically was irrigated pasture and more recently
was graded, and native soils have been amended or buried to support golf course development, it is highly
unlikely that Webber’s ivesia currently occurs within the project area.
Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) GIS Data Clearinghouse
For game species that have potential to occur within the project area, GIS maps were reviewed. Species include
desert bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis californiana), American black bear (Ursus americanus), California quail
(Callipepla californica), greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus),
mountain lion (cougar) (Puma concolor), and pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra Americana). Given the variety of
potential food sources and persistent water supported by a golf course, these common game species have potential
to occur within the project area. All species with the exception of the California quail are elusive and prefer to
hunt and feed in the absence of humans and not in proximity to urban environments. On the other hand,
California quail have become very well adapted to urban environments for breeding, brooding, rearing and full
life cycles. Please attached NDOW GIS data maps.

Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (MBTA), codified at 16 U.S.C. §§ 703–712 provides that it is unlawful to
pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, possess, sell, purchase, barter, import, export, or transport any migratory bird, or
any part, nest, or egg or any such bird, unless authorized under a permit issued by the Secretary of the Interior.
Compliance with the MBTA and BGEPA is attained by completing pre-disturbance nesting bird and raptor
surveys if disturbance is schedule to occur during the nesting season (generally January 1 – September 15). The
survey area is anywhere that vegetation removal and disturbance is necessary. When an active nest of a protected
species is detected, a “buffer” area will be designated until the nestlings have fledged. In addition, survey
coverage will include a search of suitable nesting habitats within a buffer zone (generally 100 feet for non-raptors
and 1,320 feet for raptors) directly adjacent to project boundaries.
Any active nest of a protected species detected within the project footprint or its adjacent buffer will receive a
protective buffer radius around the nest tree and behavior monitoring may be required as per consultation with the
Nevada Department of Wildlife and/or the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
It is important to note that nesting bird and raptor survey results are only valid for a period of 2 weeks (14 days).
Therefore, the first survey is completed 2 weeks prior to the start of disturbance and are repeated every 2 weeks
for disturbance that is scheduled to occur during the nesting season.
If disturbance during the nesting season cannot be avoided, carefully planned and timed removal of nesting
habitat can occur prior to the nesting season, thus minimizing the potential for nesting as well as minimizing the
survey area.

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
The attached species list indicates threatened, endangered, proposed, and candidate species and
designated or proposed critical habitat that may occur within the boundary of your proposed
project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), for projects that are
authorized, funded, or carried out by a Federal agency. Candidate species have no protection
under the ESA but are included for consideration because they could be listed prior to the
completion of your project. Consideration of these species during project planning may assist
species conservation efforts and may prevent the need for future listing actions. For additional
information regarding species that may be found in the proposed project area, visit
http://www.fws.gov/nevada/es/ipac.html.
The purpose of the ESA is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and
the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of
the ESA and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects that are major Federal actions
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National
Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction
activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be
10/05/2017 Event Code: 08ENVD00-2018-E-00019 2
prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or
designated or proposed critical habitat. Guidelines for preparing a Biological Assessment can be
found at: http://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/section7/ba_guide.html.
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this species list. Please feel
free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential
impacts to federally listed, proposed, and candidate species and federally designated and
proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations
implementing section 7 of the ESA, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90
days. This verification can be completed formally or informally, as desired. The Service
recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular
intervals during project planning and implementation, for updates to species lists and
information. An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing
the same process used to receive the attached list.
The Nevada Fish and Wildlife Office (NFWO) no longer provides species of concern lists. Most
of these species for which we have concern are also on the Animal and Plant At-Risk Tracking
List for Nevada (At-Risk list) maintained by the State of Nevada's Natural Heritage Program
(Heritage). Instead of maintaining our own list, we adopted Heritage's At-Risk list and are
partnering with them to provide distribution data and information on the conservation needs for
at-risk species to agencies or project proponents. The mission of Heritage is to continually
evaluate the conservation priorities of native plants, animals, and their habitats, particularly those
most vulnerable to extinction or in serious decline. In addition, in order to avoid future conflicts,
we ask that you consider these at-risk species early in your project planning and explore
management alternatives that provide for their long-term conservation.
For a list of at-risk species by county, visit Heritage's website (http://heritage.nv.gov). For a
specific list of at-risk species that may occur in the project area, you can obtain a data request
form from the website (http://heritage.nv.gov/get_data) or by contacting the Administrator of
Heritage at 901 South Stewart Street, Suite 5002, Carson City, Nevada 89701-5245, (775)
684-2900. Please indicate on the form that your request is being obtained as part of your
coordination with the Service under the ESA. During your project analysis, if you obtain new
information or data for any Nevada sensitive species, we request that you provide the
information to Heritage at the above address.
Furthermore, certain species of fish and wildlife are classified as protected by the State of
10/05/2017 Event Code: 08ENVD00-2018-E-00019 3
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (
http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects
should follow the Service's wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for
minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats.
The Service's Pacific Southwest Region developed the Interim Guidelines for the Development
of a Project Specific Avian and Bat Protection Plan for Wind Energy Facilities (Interim
Guidelines). This document provides energy facility developers with a tool for assessing the risk
of potential impacts to wildlife resources and delineates how best to design and operate a bird-
and bat-friendly wind facility. These Interim Guidelines are available upon request from the
NFWO. The intent of a Bird and Bat Conservation Strategy is to conserve wildlife resources
while supporting project developers through: (1) establishing project development in an adaptive
management framework; (2) identifying proper siting and project design strategies; (3) designing
and implementing pre-construction surveys; (4) implementing appropriate conservation
measures for each development phase; (5) designing and implementing appropriate
post-construction monitoring strategies; (6) using post-construction studies to better understand
the dynamics of mortality reduction (e.g., changes in blade cut-in speed, assessments of blade
“feathering” success, and studies on the effects of visual and acoustic deterrents) including
efforts tied into Before-After/Control-Impact analysis; and (7) conducting a thorough risk
assessment and validation leading to adjustments in management and mitigation actions.
The template and recommendations set forth in the Interim Guidelines were based upon the
Avian Powerline Interaction Committee's Avian Protection Plan template (http://www.aplic.org/)
developed for electric utilities and modified accordingly to address the unique concerns of wind
energy facilities. These recommendations are also consistent with the Service's wind energy
guidelines. We recommend contacting us as early as possible in the planning process to discuss
the need and process for developing a site-specific Bird and Bat Conservation Strategy.
The Service has also developed guidance regarding wind power development in relation to
prairie grouse leks (sage-grouse are included in this). This document can be found at:
http://www.fws.gov/southwest/es/Oklahoma/documents/te_species/wind%20power/prairie%20grouse%20lek%2
.
Migratory Birds are a Service Trust Resource. Based on the Service's conservation
responsibilities and management authority for migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act of 1918, as amended (MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.), we recommend that any land clearing
or other surface disturbance associated with proposed actions within the project area be timed to
avoid potential destruction of bird nests or young, or birds that breed in the area. Such
10/05/2017 Event Code: 08ENVD00-2018-E-00019 4
destruction may be in violation of the MBTA. Under the MBTA, nests with eggs or young of
migratory birds may not be harmed, nor may migratory birds be killed. Therefore, we
recommend land clearing be conducted outside the avian breeding season. If this is not feasible,
we recommend a qualified biologist survey the area prior to land clearing. If nests are located, or
if other evidence of nesting (i.e., mated pairs, territorial defense, carrying nesting material,
transporting food) is observed, a protective buffer (the size depending on the habitat
requirements of the species) should be delineated and the entire area avoided to prevent
destruction or disturbance to nests until they are no longer active.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects involving communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at:
http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm;
http://www.towerkill.com; and

If wetlands, springs, or streams are are known to occur in the project area or are present in the
vicinity of the project area, we ask that you be aware of potential impacts project activities may
have on these habitats. Discharge of fill material into wetlands or waters of the United States is
regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) pursuant to section 404 of the Clean
Water Act of 1972, as amended. We recommend you contact the ACOE's Regulatory Section
regarding the possible need for a permit. For projects located in northern Nevada (Carson City,

Preliminary Drainage Study
September 27, 2017
Dear Adam;
The following letter represents the results derived from the Preliminary Drainage Study conducted as part
of the potential High School at Wildcreek due diligence studies. The purpose of this study is to analyze the
existing drainage patterns to identify potential site development constraints. This study is not intended to be
utilized as a regional drainage study or report for final design purposes; a final technical drainage study will
need to be completed as part of project final design.
Project Area
The existing Wildcreek property consists of 330.7± acres within the City of Sparks. North McCarran
Boulevard borders the site to the south, Sullivan Lane borders the site on the west, with single family
residential bordering the site on the east. The potential development of the site includes high school campus
with a high school building, athletic facilities, required parking, and necessary landscaping and drainage
facilities. As part of this due diligence review, a preliminary drainage analysis was completed.
The project area is downstream of the Sun Valley Dam (NV ID # J-272), which provides detention for the
Sun Valley regional drainage area. Discharge from the Sun Valley Dam is conveyed through the project
area.
Regulatory Perspective
The project lies within the City of Sparks and therefore will fall under City of Sparks’ development
standards. The City of Sparks requires potential developments to evaluate the 5-year – 24-hour (minor) and
100 year-24 hour (major) storm events. Proposed drainage infrastructure is required to be sized to convey
the 5 year and 100 year events and all buildings must be built outside of the 100 year storm event
inundation areas. In addition, the City of Sparks requires detention of the post-development 5 year and 100
year peak runoff to limit site discharge to the pre-developed flow.
While not required by local or state ordinance, due to the proximity of the proposed site in relation to the
Sun Valley Dam, the ½ Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) flow was also analyzed and is discussed as part
of this study.

Hydrologic and Hydraulic Methodology
The following methodology was used in conducting this drainage study consistent with the requirements
outlined in the Truckee Meadows Regional Drainage Manual.
The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) method was used in conjunction with HEC-HMS to model the runoff
contributing to the Wild Creek Golf Course below the Sun Valley Dam. The SCS Unit Hydrograph method
uses the unit hydrograph theory as a basis for runoff computations. The unit hydrograph theory computes
rainfall excess hydrographs for a unit amount of rainfall excess applied uniformly over a sub-basin for a
given unit of time (or unit duration). The rainfall excess hydrographs are then transformed to a sub-basin
hydrograph by superimposing each excess hydrograph lagged by the unit duration. Input values include
lagtime, curve number, and precipitation data. A runoff curve number (CN) was developed based on the
hydrologic soil group, cover type, the hydrologic condition and antecedent moisture conditions. The CN
values were obtained from the Truckee Meadows Regional Drainage Manual dated April 30, 2009.
Average velocities for estimating travel time for overland flow were used to develop a time of
concentration and ultimately a lagtime.
Precipitation depths were obtained from Table 601 of the Truckee Meadows Regional Drainage manual as
per Figure 601 of the Truckee Meadows Regional Drainage Manual.
HEC-HMS, a hydrologic modeling software developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, was utilized
to analyze the runoff from the onsite contributing drainage area to assure that flow rates generated from the
sub-basins are not increased in the design peak flow storm.
Flow extent was analyzed with TUFLOW, a two-dimensional hydraulic modeling program. As the Design
Report for the Sun Valley Flood Control Detention Dam (SVFCDD) did not specify a hydrograph, a
synthetic hydrograph was developed using the peak 100-year and ½ PMF discharge values from the report.
The TUFLOW model grid elevations were calculated from recent aerial topography. The model uses 10-
foot grid cells that were created using the native TUFLOW “Read GRID Zpts” function. Land roughness
values are shown on the following Table 1, and land roughness extents are shown on the attached Land Use
figure. There are no hydraulic structures within the model, and all golf course water features are assumed
to be full when offsite flow is introduced.
The 5-year (minor) storm event was not considered as part of this due diligence study and will be evaluated
during final design. The larger storm events were considered since they will have the greatest impact with
regards to development feasibility
Previous Studies
The following, agency approved, studies were obtained and utilized as a reference for the determining the
existing offsite flow patterns.
Design Report for the Sun Valley Flood Control Detention Dam prepared by SEA, Inc., dated
August 1987.
Sun Valley Dam Emergency Action Plan prepared by HDR, Inc., dated January 2007
Conceptual Drainage Report for Pyramid Highway & US 395 Connector Project prepared by
Jacobs, dated September 2011.
It should be noted that the Pyramid Highway & US 395 Connector report was prepared as a preliminary
planning document and not prepared as a design document for the downstream Sun Valley Dam. As a
result, the SVFCDD report, which was reviewed and accepted by the City of Sparks and the State of
Nevada Division of Water Resources, Dam Safety, were utilized for determining the existing discharge
rates from the Sun Valley Dam.
For the purposes of this due diligence study, a conservative assumption of a 100 year additive peak
discharge of 399 cfs (215 cfs from the Dam and 184 cfs from the onsite basin) and ½ PMF discharge of
9,515 cfs were assumed. This estimate is conservative because the onsite basin is expected to peak well
before the peak discharge from the upstream dam enters the site, which will result in lowering the net peak
discharge below an additive peak flow. During final design, storm routing and time(s) to peak flow
between the upstream dam and onsite basin will be determined for sizing onsite detention and drainage
facilities (ditches, channels, overland flow, and/or underground pipe) to convey the 5 year and 100 year
storm events per local design criteria.
The results from the onsite modeling are shown in Appendix A and illustrate the existing inundation area(s)
within the project area for the 100 year, and ½ PMF, flow conditions.
As previously discussed, onsite detention will be required to maintain pre-development conditions for the
major (100 yr) and minor (5 yr) storm events. This means that the post-development discharge to the public
drainage system must be less than or equal to the existing discharge during for the 5 and 100 years storms.
Onsite detention can easily be accommodated within the project area and has been incorporated into the
potential site alternatives. As a reference, an estimated 100 year onsite proposed peak flow was determined
to be 223 cfs (existing 182 cfs). Preliminary calculations show a storage volume of about 6 acre-feet will be
needed to adequately meet detention requirements.
Potential site development will need to convey the onsite and offsite stormwater through the project area.
This can be accomplished in a number of ways, however the preferred solution, at this time, is to provide
an open channel along the eastern boundary of the campus. A series of inlets, underground pipe, and
ditches can be used to convey onsite stormwater to the proposed channel. The channel must be sized to
accommodate the 100 year storm event per City of Sparks’ standards. Based on the 100 year flow (399 cfs),
a trapezoidal open channel with a 20 flat bottom, 4:1 side slopes, minimum longitudinal slope of 0.5%, and
a depth of 5’ will accommodate the 100 year flow and maintain 1’ of freeboard. Final open channel sizing
shall be completed as part of final design to consider a proposed 100 year flow, site grading, scour
protection, low flow channel, and other design elements to meet local standards.
Furthermore, based on our analysis of the existing ½ PMF flow, shown in Appendix A, it is feasible that
the education building could be located outside of the ½ PMF inundation area. Modeling should be
completed as part of final design, however it is estimated that any building located beyond 300’ from the
edge of the proposed channel, can be located outside of the ½ PMF inundation area with finish floor
grading considerations. Local and state code do not require a building to be located outside the ½ PMF
flow path. It is recommended that the proposed educational building be located outside the ½ PMF flow
path if feasible. It should be noted, any consideration to locate the building outside of the ½ PMF flow path
would be above and beyond code requirements.
Summary
In summary, the project site has been preliminarily reviewed for probable limitations to development
resulting from onsite or offsite drainage, including the Sun Valley Dam. We have found that existing and
proposed drainage considerations do not preclude development of the project site into a potential high
school campus. Final site and building design will have to consider these potential impacts to ensure the
final campus solution works in conjunction with the drainage requirements.
Sincerely,
Wood Rodgers, Inc.

Input Data
Per the request of the City, Atkins performed a preliminary capacity analysis of the existing sanitary sewer
system downstream of the proposed Wildcreek Project (herein referred to as the “Project”). The purpose of
this analysis was to determine the potential impacts to the existing sanitary sewer system resulting from the
anticipated Project. This potential redevelopment project is planned to encompass multiple parcels (APNs:
027-011-05 and 035-080-04) at the current location of the Wildcreek Golf Course, located north of North
McCarran Boulevard and east of Sullivan Lane (see attached Figure 1). These sewer flows enter the hydraulic
model at manhole SSN029855.This memorandum summarizes the preliminary findings.
Wastewater Flows and Hydraulic Model
In modeling the wastewater generated from the proposed development, Atkins used specific historical water
use data for similar properties around the City and assumptions on return-to-sewer ratios. This approach differs
from the methods used in other post-master plan capacity analysis memorandums, due to the specific and
unique nature of the proposed development plan. Table 1 below summarizes the estimated wastewater flows
generated from the new development and compares to the estimated flows generated from these parcels
under the planned land use designation reflected in the buildout model of the 2016 Sewer Model Update
Technical Report. In the sewer model, the current development was classified as Park/Open Space and was
assumed to not contribute flow to the sewer system, as the sewage flows from the golf course clubhouse were
considered relatively negligible. As shown in Table 1, the Project’s updated development plan increases the
average daily buildout flow by approximately 0.0392 MGD compared to the original buildout land use.
Notes:
1 Buildout land use data based on an estimate provided by City on 4/27/2017
2 Average daily flow estimates based on historical winter-use water use data (assuming 100% return-to-
These wastewater flows were loaded into the current version of a City of Sparks InfoSWMM hydraulic model
(originally completed by Atkins, November 3, 2016 as part of the 2016 Sewer Model Update Technical Report).
The following model scenarios were simulated to determine the impact of the project: (1) existing condition dry
weather flow (DWF) and wet weather flow (WWF) models (including the anticipated flows from the Project)
and (2) buildout condition dry and wet weather flow models (including the anticipated flows from the Project).
As shown in Figure 2, the d/D results for the existing condition reveal inadequate capacity downstream of the
proposed project site, resulting in approximately 2,800 linear feet of DWF/WWF criteria violations in the 18th
Street and Tyler Way sewer systems. Additional DWF/WWF d/D criteria violations are identified further
downstream in the Greenbrae system (approximately 7,000 linear feet). Therefore, the downstream sewer
system is already deficient in the current state. The added 0.0392 MGD from the proposed development further
exacerbates the existing condition criteria violations in the downstream system.
Similarly to the existing condition scenario and as shown in Figure 3, wastewater flows from the proposed
development results in d/D values exceeding both the DWF and WWF criteria. Approximately 2,800 linear feet
of DWF/WWF criteria violations are shown in the 18th Street and Tyler Way sewer systems. Additional
DWF/WWF d/D criteria violations are identified further downstream in the Greenbrae system (approximately
8,500 linear feet). The 0.0392 additional MGD from the proposed development further exacerbates the buildout
condition criteria violations in the downstream system, as well as causes approximately 675 linear feet of new
WWF criteria violations in three 8-inch diameter conduits (SSL019613, SSL019619 and SSL019621) located
within the Wild Creek Golf Course.
Conclusions
The criteria violations noted in all scenarios are primarily due to existing sewer capacity deficiencies in the
18th Street, Tyler Way and Greenbrae sewer systems. In order to satisfy criteria in this stretch of the sewer
system, the City will need to construct the following existing condition deficiency CIPs (from Table 5-2 of the
2016 Sewer Model Update Technical Report) prior to upstream development:
• CIP 1 (see Figure 5-2 in the 2016 Sewer Model Update Technical Report): CIP 1 includes installing
new and upsizing the existing sewer in El Rancho Drive to 12-inch and 15-inch PVC and ultimately
connecting a new system to the Reno Sparks Joint Interceptor near G Street. Included in this CIP is
the abandonment of the connection between the El Rancho sewer system and the Greenbrae sewer
system, which alleviates pressure on the downstream Greenbrae system and ultimately reduces the
number of CIP improvements required in the Greenbrae system. Although this CIP is technically not
downstream of the proposed development, it is required to help reduce CIPs and free up capacity in
the sewer system downstream of the proposed development. This CIP is estimated at approximately
$1,477,810.
• CIP 2 (see Figure 5-2 in the 2016 Sewer Model Update Technical Report): CIP 2 includes upsizing
the 18th Street and Tyler Way sewers to 15-inch PVC. This CIP is estimated at approximately
$871,640.
• CIP 3 (see Figure 5-4 in the 2016 Sewer Model Update Technical Report): CIP 3 includes upsizing
the Quail Street, and Boise Drive sewers to 24-inch PVC. The abandonment of the connection to the
Probasco Way sewer system is also included in this CIP to alleviate pressure on the Probasco system
and reduces the magnitude of improvements required in the downstream portions of the Probasco
system. This CIP is estimated at approximately $888,235.
• CIP 4 (see Figure 5-4 in the 2016 Sewer Model Update Technical Report): CIP 4 includes upsizing
the Prater Way sewer to 15-inch or 18-inch PVC and upsizing the N McCarran Boulevard sewer to 30-
inch PVC. This CIP is estimated at approximately $1,974,105.
In the buildout scenario, CIPs 17 and 19 (see Figure 5-12 and Figure 5-13, respectively, in the 2016 Sewer
Model Update Technical Report) are also proposed for this region, however this proposed development alone
would not trigger either of those CIPs. Adding the proposed development to all previously identified buildout
development would trigger the additional 675 feet of buildout WWF criteria violations noted in the 8-inch
diameter pipes (SSL019613, SSL019619 and SSL019621) and require the following additional improvements
to the City sewer system to meet WWF criteria:
• Upsize approximately 2,750 linear feet of 8-inch diameter pipe from manholes SSN029855 to
SSN002486 (see Figure 1) to 10-inch diameter
Another consideration is the impact of added buildout development on the treatment capacity at TMWRF.
Section 3.5 of the 2016 Sewer Model Update Technical Report states that under the current wastewater flow
projections, the “City is expected to exceed their designated treatment capacity by 1.77 mgd in the buildout
condition.” This project increases wastewater flows by 0.0392 MGD over the currently projected wastewater
flows from this parcel, therefore adding further stress to the City’s TMWRF treatment capacity allocation.

NV Energy Discovery
10/3/2017
Re: Discovery for APN: 027-011-05 & 035-080-04, Proposed Wildcreek High School
The purpose of this Level-One Discovery is to determine off-site capacity, and estimated “ballpark”
costs necessary to serve the proposed building site near McCarran Boulevard and Sullivan Lane with
electric and gas services. The loads and information used for the basis of this Discovery are based on
the assumptions listed.
Customer Assumptions
The site is located at the intersection for McCarran Boulevard and Sullivan Lane
The project is approximately 330.72 acres consisting of 400,000 square foot high school, 22,500
square foot field house and sports fields.
This Discovery is for the possibility of installing electric and gas facilities to serve the entire
project.
General Assumptions
Facility requirements and costs represent preliminary planning level estimates that are based on the
best information today, and are subject to change. All costs are estimated in 2017 dollars. Actual
detailed design, sizing, and cost estimates will be determined once final plans are submitted to NV
Energy (NVE) and a Utility Facility Agreement is entered into.
The project owner will grant any easements/right-of-way required to provide service within the
project boundaries.
Design and cost estimates are predicated on easements, permits, and right-of-ways being acquired
for all facilities outside of the project boundaries at no cost to NVE.
Off-Site capacity cannot be reserved in advance. Capacity is available on a first-come, first-serve
basis, confirmed with a signed utility agreement with NV Energy. If future system demands exceed
the available capacity, this project could be subject to participation in further system improvements.
The information presented in this document is based on the current Rules, Tariffs, and Regulations
that are in effect at this time. These are subject to change by the Public Utility Commission of
Nevada, as they deem appropriate. Such changes could affect the estimates and other information
provided.
Footage calculations are estimates. Actual footage will affect the costs.
Page 1 of 6
The applicant is responsible to furnish and install all trenching/backfill, vaults, pads, boxes, conduit,
permits, etc. necessary to complete the substructure per NVE Standards Volume 17.
A contingency factor may be required if the project meets the criteria for True-Up as defined by
Rule 9 section A.31.
Electric Assumptions
A high level estimate is based on the average cost for single family and multi-family developments.
The estimated unit cost to provide electric service to the high school site:
Item Unit Cost
High School Main Building 1 $70,000
Field House 1 $20,000
Sports Field Lighting 1 $15,000
Backbone:
Underground Cable – 3-1/0 1,200 foot $60,000
The estimated cost of providing electrical service includes a 20% contingency. Each project phase will
be represented by a Rule 9 Line Extension Agreement (LEA) that includes the total cost responsibility
and potential refundable balance per project phase. The applicant will be responsible for trenching and
backfill costs. Any pavement breaking and repair are the customer’s sole responsibility. In addition to
the above mentioned costs, the developer is also responsible for any taxes due.
Page 2 of 6
As stated in Rule 9, Appendix 3, the allowance provided for the following line extensions is:
Area Type Allowance/Meter Number of Meters Total Allowance
GS2-TOU Medium $188/kVa 1 $169,200 estimated
Commercial
NV Energy may apply 30% of the total meter allowance to the total project cost. The initial allowance
will offset the advance due for each project. The remaining allowance will be issued in the form of a
refund. Projects are reviewed annually to determine the number of new units/meter that come on line.
Refunds associated to the applicable meter/units on-line are issued on the anniversary of the contract
execution date for the life of the agreement.
Please keep in mind that all transformers must be installed with a minimum of 10 feet of
clearance in any direction from any combustible building surface and a minimum of 3 feet of
clearance in any direction from any non-combustible building surface with a 10 foot long by the
pad width, flat level surface in front. Please refer to NV Energy Constructions Standards, Vol. 17
at
https://www.nvenergy.com/business/newconstruction/newconstructionN/standards/electric_standards/vol_17.cf
m
Minimum Requirements
None – The existing overhead power line along the east side of Sullivan Lane could be used as a
possible tie point for the electric.
Preliminary site development plans are used for this discussion. The following is provided to the
customer for informative purposes only, based upon similar existing developments. Site layout, project
planning, construction scheduling, and many other factors influence ultimate electrical delivery

Gas Assumptions
Preliminary site development plans are used for this discussion. The following is provided to the
customer for informative purposes only, based upon similar existing developments. Site layout, project
planning, construction scheduling, and many other factors influence ultimate natural gas delivery
requirements and costs. As such, no guarantees whatsoever are implied regarding on-site requirements.
The estimated unit cost to provide gas service to the potential high school site:
Item Unit Cost
Commercial 1 Unknown
4” PE Main 450 feet $6,750
The estimated cost of providing gas service includes a 20% contingency. Each project phase will be
represented by a Rule 9 Line Extension Agreement (LEA) that includes the total cost responsibility and
potential refundable balance per project phase. The applicant will be responsible for trenching and
backfill costs, and any pavement breaking and repair, with are the customer’s sole responsibility.
As stated in Gas Rule 9, Section D, the allowance provided for single family residential gas extensions
is two (2.0) times the estimated annual revenue for each unit. NV Energy may apply 30% of the total
Page 4 of 6
allowance to the initial project advance for each application, with the remaining advance amount being
refunded over the following ten years, as gas meters come on line.
The allowance provided for the following line extensions cannot be estimated at this time due to lack of
information.
The applicant is responsible for on-site non-refundable costs for trenching, backfill, permits, pipe, etc.,
which are the customer’s sole responsibility to furnish and install per NV Energy’s design and Volume
15 specifications.
The applicant is responsible for off-site non-refundable costs for trenching, backfill, permits, pipe, etc.,
which are the customer’s sole responsibility to furnish and install per NV Energy’s design and Volume
15 specifications.
Upstream Requirements
Approximately 750’ of 4” PE gas main would need to be installed in Wedekind Road to support the gas
load of the proposed high school. There would also need to be a few sections of gas main installed in
Oddie Boulevard to assist the supply. All upstream improvements are required to be installed before the
fall of the year that the new school would take service.
Total costs and proportionate cost responsibility cannot be determined without additional detail and
analysis. Regardless of cost responsibility the applicant will be responsible for performing the work
associated with the upstream improvements.
Preliminary site development plans are used for this discussion. The following is provided to the
customer for informative purposes only, based upon similar existing developments. Site layout, project

Preliminary FAA Airspace Review
1
Dear Adam:
The following letter outlines the conclusions derived from the Preliminary Airspace Review conducted as
part of the potential High School at Wildcreek due diligence studies. The existing Wildcreek property
consists of 330.7± acres within the City of Sparks approximately 3 miles north of the Reno-Tahoe
International Airport. North McCarran Boulevard borders the site to the south, Sullivan Lane borders the
site on the west, with single family residential bordering the site on the east. The potential development of
the site includes a high school campus with associated educational building, athletic facilities, parking and
necessary landscaping and drainage facilities. As part of this due diligence review, a preliminary FAA
Airspace Review, Aircraft Noise analysis and Site Lighting analyses were completed.
The proposed campus will be located within (3) three nautical miles of the Reno-Tahoe International
Airport (RNO) and under the approach/departure paths for Runways 16L-34R and 16R-34L. Due to the
proximity of the site to the RNO, any potential development must comply with Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (Aeronautics and Space) Part 77 (Safe, Efficient Use, and Preservation of the Navigable
Airspace) requirements, otherwise known as Part 77.
Part 77 establishes requirements to notify the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of certain proposed
constructions and alterations, the standards to determine obstructions in relation to air navigation and
navigational and communications facilities, and the process to study obstructions and their effect on the
safe and efficient use of navigable airspace, facilities, and equipment. The FAA notification process allows
the FAA, which controls airspace, to evaluate the effect of a proposed construction or alteration on safety in
air commerce, on the efficient use and preservation of the navigable airspace, and on airport traffic capacity
at public use airports. In addition, this process determines whether the effect is a hazard to air navigation,
whether there are appropriate measures to be applied for the continued safety of air navigation, whether the
aviation community must be notified about objects affecting navigable airspace, and whether navigational
charts require updating.

www.woodrodgers.com
Part 77 consists of (5) five imaginary surfaces (horizontal, conical, primary, approach, and transitional) that
protect the airspace around airports. An object, such as any natural growth (foliage), terrain, or structure
(permanent or temporary) which penetrates the elevation of any of the referenced surfaces requires formal
notification to the FAA. In addition to the Part 77 surfaces, the FAA notification requirement for the
proposed campus is triggered if an object will exceed 200 feet above ground level at the site or if an object
will exceed a surface extending outward and upward at a slope of 100:1 for a horizontal distance of 20,000
feet from the nearest point of the nearest runway. The FAA notification requirement allows the FAA to
further study any penetration and determine whether or not it creates an obstruction which may pose a
hazard to air navigation. The FAA notification requirement is met by the timely filing of an FAA Form
7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration.
Based on proximity to the airport, the potential development lies underneath the Part 77 approach surface
of RNO. The approach surface is centered longitudinally on the runway centerline and extends outward and
upward from the runway end at a 50:1 slope for 10,000 feet with an additional 40:1 slope for 40,000 feet.
The 2011 Airport Layout Plan (ALP) for RNO was utilized to establish the vertical and horizontal location
of the runway ends from where the surface is referenced. The Part 77 approach surface contours shown on
Figure 1 represent the developable elevation at any point within the proposed site before penetration of the
Part 77 approach surface. Any structure that exceeds the elevation of the approach surface should be
considered a penetration and will require evaluation by the FAA to determine whether or not the
penetration is also an obstruction.
In addition to verifying the Part 77 approach surface, the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (RTAA) requires
the One-Engine Inoperative (OEI) departure surface be maintained without obstruction. The OEI surface is
centered longitudinally on the runway centerline and extends outward and upward from the runway end at a
62.5:1 slope for 50,000 feet. Per the 2011 RTIA ALP, Runways 34L and 34R do not include a clearway;
therefore, the OEI surface was determined from the runway end. The OEI surface contours shown on
Figure 2 represent the developable elevation at any point within the proposed site before penetration of the
OEI surface. Although the OEI surface is the control surface setting the projected maximum structure
elevation within the proposed development, the 100:1 surface is the elevation triggering FAA notification
requirement.
Based on our review of RTAA and FAA airspace requirements the site can be developed without creating
an airspace surface obstruction. Building height(s) and site/athletic lighting should be monitored during
final design to ensure all proposed structures maximum elevation are below the OEI surface and any
planned structures exceeding the 100:1 surface should be included in an FAA notification prior to
construction. The maximum developable building elevations are shown in Figure 2 and vary throughout
the site. Final allowable building heights will vary depending on location on the site and proposed finish
grade elevations; however, a structure height of 150’ or less can be constructed (from existing ground
elevation) without creating an airspace obstruction regardless of location on the site. It should be noted that
the maximum developable elevation is determined from the OEI surface regardless of site grading.
RNO noise contours were reviewed in relation to the project site to determine if noise mitigation would be
required as part of the potential development. Based on the FAA-approved noise contours for RNO, the

ST}MMARY
RSCVA, a political subdivision of Washoe County, State of Nevada operates certain
fasilities within the Truckee Meadows metropolitan area. Water rights for these facilities
were historically held by Washoe County in trust and for the benefit of the RSCVA.
RSCVA requests conveyance of the water rights under two water rights permits (78563
afi78564) currently utilized to augment treated effluent service for irrigation purposes at
the Wildcreek Golf Course Qetter attached).
RSCVA water rights fall into three general categories: 1) those water rights commiued to
and associated with facilities receiving domestic/potable water supply from the Truckee
Meadows Water Authority (TMWA) such as the National Bowling Stadium, the Reno
Sparks Convention Center, and the Reno Sparks Livestock and Events Center; 2) water
rights associated with the Wildcreek Golf Course currently in operation; and 3) water
rights associated with the now closed Northgate Golf Course (Norttrgate). Research by
both County and RSCVA staffhave established that the sources of funding for all the
water rights subject to this request were RSCVA funded, and any water rights funded by
Washoe County general fund is not the subject of this agenda item and are not affected by
this request and rsmain assets of Washoe County.
The request herein pertain to the categories I anrd2 above. During meetings with
RSCVA, County staffwas informed that water rights dedicated to support the
Convention Center expansion in 2001 may exceed the actual average annual consumption
at the Center. TMWA's Rule 7 tariffallows audits within certain customer categories

and excess dedications may be credited back. RSCVA requests that if any excess water
rights are established, that theybe credited to RSCVA's future use, and not to Washoe
County, the entity that deeded the water rights to TMWA.
PREVIOUS ACTION
There has been no previous action taken by the Board of Cor:nty Commissioners (Board)
regarding the subject water rights.
On Jnne 24,2008, the Board approved an Interlocal agreement between Washoe County
and the RSCVA regarding the Northgate Golf Course water rights. This agree,rnent and
staffreport reference research conducted by County staffwhich acknowledged RSCVA
funding sources for the water rights.
BACKGROT]ND
On Jnne 24,2008 the Board reviewed, discussed and approved an interlocal agreement
between Washoe County and RSCVA. This agreement was executed in anticipation of
the closure of Northgate. Until that date, title to all RSCVA water rights were held by
Washoe County, on behalf of and for the benefit of RSCVA facilities. The review of
Northgate and its financial disposition and its future operation as a RSCVA golf course,
caused staffto review the archives and history of the funding sources for the water rights
both at Northgate and Wildsreek golf courses. As acknowledged in both the 2008 staff
report and the Interlocal agreeme,nt, some of the waterrights were acquired with RSCVA
funds and some were acquired with Washoe County general fund or some were simply
allocated to RSCVA projects from County inventory of existing water rights assets. The
2008 staffreport prepared by the County Manager's office states:
"The attached Interlocal Agreement between Washoe County and the RSCVA
acknowledges that RSCVA funds were used to purchase 255.20 acre-feet of water
rights at Northgate Golf Course (NGC). As such, the agreement states that should
RSCVA elect to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the 255.20 acre-feet of water
rights Washoe County has no claim to any revenue realized from a lease, sale or
disposal of these rights. Washoe County maintains ownership of the remaining
210.80 acre-feet of water rights located at NGC."
Pursuant to this Agreemurt, the water rights were conveyed to the Nevada Land
Conse,nrancy and were held in trust for both Washoe County and RSCVA. Since the
approval of the Interlocal Agreement in 2008, RSCVA and Washoe Countyhave both
received title back to their respective blocks of water rights from the Nevada Land
Consenrancy (aka Nevada Land Trust) per Water Rights Deeds recorded under
Documents #4276872 and3854720 in the Office of the Washoe County Recorder.
asre-feet of Truckee River water rights were purchased with RSCVA funds in July 1987.
Wells Creek is best described in a March 12,1987,letter from Washoe County
Hydrogeologist, Michael Widmer, to the Nevada State Engineer. Wells Creek is not a
tributary to the Truckee River and is not part of the decreed water rights under the Orr
Ditch Decree. Wells Creek can be best characteizel as a discharge of storm water runoff
from Sun Valley and ground water discharges originating from septic tank recharge also
occurring in Sun Valley. This water resource has no other potential utility other than
irrigation use at the Wildcreek golf course. Neither RSCVA nor County funds were used
for acquisition of this water right. This water right was simply appropriated from the
State of Nevada in October of 1982 by the County staffwith the place of use being
described as the Wildcreek Golf Course. The written request from RSCVA is in regard
to the two water rights permits (78563 and 78564) curre,ntly utilized to augment treated
effluent service at Wild creek Golf Course.
During meetings with RSCVA, County staffwas informed that water rights dedicated to
support the Convention Center expansion in 2001 may exceed the actual average annual
consumption at the Center. TMWA's Rule 7 tariffallows audits within certain customer
categories and excess water rights dedications may be credited back. RSCVA requests
that if any excess waterrights are established, that theybe credited to RSCVA's future
use, and not to Washoe County, the entity that deeded the water rights to TMWA.
Both these requests are consistent with the acknowledgments and actions taken by the
Board in 2008 in relation to the Northgate Golf Course water rights.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
RECOMMEIIDATION
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve a Water Rights
Deed conveyrng title to 506.784 acre feet of Wells Creek water rights under permit
78563, ard 69.20 acre feet of Truckee River water rights under permit 78564 from
Washoe County to the Reno Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority @SCVA); and,
authorize the Truckee Meadows Water Authority to credit any potential excess water
rights resulting from a possible water consumption audit at the Reno Sparks Convention
Center to the RSCVA for their future use within the region.
POSSIBLE MOTION
Should the Board agree with staffs recommendation, a possible motion would be:
"Move to approve a Water Rights Deed conveying title to 506.784 acre feet of Wells
Creek water rights under permit 78563, and 69.20 acre feet of Truckee River water rights
underpermit 78564 from Washoe County to the Reno Sparks Convention and Visitors
Authority (RSCVA); and, authorizethe Truckee Meadows Water Authority to credit any
potential excess water rights resulting from a possible water consumption audit at the
Reno Sparks Convention Center to the RSCVA for their future use within the region."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed High School at Wildcreek would be designed to accommodate up to 2,500 students, include
a main building of roughly 400,000 square feet, and incorporate the elements of a modern high school
including a football stadium, soccer fields, baseball and softball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts,
and other related athletic facilities. The urban areas zoned to attend the High School at Wildcreek are
anticipated to be the current Hug High School zoning district and the entirety of Sun Valley.
Based on the probable zoning boundaries, the vast majority (estimated at 95%) of travel to and from the
high school would be north (Sun Valley) and west (present Hug High zone). Approximately 1,200 of the
2,500 student population will be from Sun Valley and therefore about 50% of travel would be to/from Sun
Valley. It then follows that 45% of travel will be to/from the current Hug High School zone and the
remaining 5% will be miscellaneous trips east on McCarran Boulevard associated with staff and deliveries.
Sullivan Lane, El Rancho Drive, Sun Valley Boulevard, and McCarran Boulevard west of the Wildcreek site,
would be the most affected roadways. McCarran Boulevard east of the site, and roadways further east
from there, would incur only minor traffic increases. The project study area is illustrated in Figure 1.
The High School at Wildcreek is expected to be a “closed campus”. Students will not be permitted to leave
campus during the lunch hour or between classes, therefore traffic impacts will be limited to the before
school and after school time periods.
There are several good options for vehicular access to the Wildcreek site. Primary access points would
likely be located on Sullivan Lane and/or at the McCarran Boulevard/Wedekind Road intersection. It is
evident that high quality, high capacity intersections can be reasonably constructed to serve the high
school traffic demand. The various access point options have been considered and discussed with the
City of Sparks and Nevada Department of Transportation, but no decisions have been made at this
preliminary investigation stage.
The following transportation improvements should be anticipated as necessary with the project:
El Rancho Drive / Sun Valley Boulevard: Convert the existing westbound to northbound right‐turn
lane to a free right‐turn with a receiving acceleration and merge lane
El Rancho Drive / Sullivan Lane: Add a channelized right‐turn lane to the westbound approach at
a minimum, possibly a roundabout or signal depending on the final distribution of traffic
Sullivan Lane / North Project Access: Construct a single‐lane roundabout or other intersection
improvements
Sullivan Lane / South Project Access: Construct a single‐lane roundabout or other intersection
improvements
McCarran Boulevard / Sullivan Lane: Construct major intersection improvements including
modifying or adding lanes on the northbound and southbound approaches, lengthening of the
eastbound left‐turn lane, signal modifications, and signal phasing/timing revisions
Page 2 of 21
Traffic Evaluation
High School at Wildcreek
November 10, 2017
McCarran Boulevard / Wedekind Road: Construct a traffic signal if permitted by NDOT and the
City of Sparks, OR, construct a median island on McCarran Boulevard limiting traffic movements
to right‐in/right‐out/left‐in access to/from both approaches of Wedekind Road. The median
configuration would prohibit left‐turn movements and through movements departing from
Wedekind Road to McCarran Boulevard to improve intersection safety. Improvements at this
intersection would only be needed if the project were to obtain access at McCarran
Blvd/Wedekind Road.
Project Connection to Wedekind Road: If connection is made to Wedekind Road, construct a
roundabout or other intersection improvements on Wedekind Road north of McCarran Boulevard
Sullivan Lane & McCarran Boulevard Roadways: Construct sidewalks and bicycle lanes along the
project frontage(s)
Sullivan Lane, El Rancho Drive & McCarran Boulevard Roadways: Construct sidewalks and bicycle
lanes at select locations to fill in gaps in the existing walking/cycling infrastructure
Public Transit: Based on RTC input, potentially construct a RTC Ride transit stop on Sullivan Lane
near the campus entrance. The RTC may wish to consider changes to Route 15 to better serve
high school students.
Other improvements as identified by future traffic impact studies: The intersection mitigation
requirements may change based on the final site plan and access configurations. Additionally,
reviewing agencies may require the evaluation of other intersections, traffic scenarios, or
transportation aspects.

INTRODUCTION
This report presents an overview of traffic volumes that would be generated by a new high school, a
summary of the access and circulation elements needed, intersection operations analysis, and
recommendations for off‐site intersection and roadway capacity improvements potentially needed to
serve the proposed high school in accordance with established level of service policies. This study is a
preliminary analysis of potential traffic impacts and probable mitigations for the sole purpose of
investigating the suitability of the Wildcreek site. This document is not intended to serve as the project’s
formal Traffic Impact Study. A comprehensive traffic impact study will be prepared when the project site
plan and access points can be fully defined.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed high school would be located north of North McCarran Boulevard and east of Sullivan Lane
at the existing Wildcreek Golf Course property as shown on Figure 1. The approximately 400,000 square
foot main building would accommodate up to 2,500 students who reside in the current Hug High School
zoning district and throughout all of Sun Valley. Sun Valley students are currently split into two districts
with the southern portion zoned for Hug High School and the northern portion zoned for Spanish Springs
High School. The proposed project would include all typical features of a high school including a football
stadium, soccer fields, baseball and softball fields, tennis courts, and basketball courts. The initial concept
for the high school site (subject to significant revision) is shown on Figure 2.
DATA COLLECTION
Weekday AM (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM), Afternoon (2:00 PM to 4:00 PM – when school is dismissed), and PM
(4:00 PM to 6:00 PM) peak period intersection turning movement counts were collected at the following
intersections (shown on Figure 1):
El Rancho Drive / Sun Valley Boulevard
El Rancho Drive / Sullivan Lane
Sullivan Lane / Niblick Drive
Sullivan Lane / Green Vista Drive
McCarran Boulevard / Sullivan Lane
McCarran Boulevard / Wedekind Road
McCarran Boulevard / El Rancho Drive
Lane configuration, traffic control, signal timing, bike lane, sidewalk, and crosswalk information was also
collected for the study area roadways and intersections.

EXISTING TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES
Roadway Facilities
A brief description of the key roadways in the study area is provided below.
North McCarran Boulevard is a four‐lane, High Access Control (HAC) Arterial roadway. McCarran
Boulevard is a loop road that surrounds the Reno and Sparks metropolitan area. The posted speed limit
on McCarran Boulevard near the project area is 45 mph west of Wedekind Road and 35 mph east of
Wedekind Road. The segment of McCarran Blvd between El Rancho Drive and Rock Boulevard is
programmed to be widened to six (6) lanes (three through lanes in each direction) in the 2027‐2040
timeframe per the 2040 RTP.
Sullivan Lane is generally a north‐south roadway that extends from El Rancho Drive in the north to Prater
Way in the south. Near the project site, Sullivan Lane is a two‐lane roadway with a posted speed limit of
35 mph north of McCarran Boulevard and 25 mph south of McCarran Boulevard. The 2040 RTP classifies
Sullivan Lane as a Low Access Control (LAC) Arterial.
Wedekind Road is two‐lane LAC Arterial roadway. It intersects McCarran Boulevard with side‐street stop
control. The speed limit on Wedekind Road north/east of McCarran Boulevard is 30 mph. South of
McCarran Boulevard the posted speed limit is 25 mph.
El Rancho Drive is generally a north‐south roadway that extends from Sun Valley Boulevard in the north
to Victorian Avenue in the south. El Rancho Drive is a four‐lane roadway (two lanes in each direction)
south of McCarran Boulevard, and a three‐lane roadway (one lane in each direction with a two‐way left‐
turn lane) north of McCarran Boulevard. The 2040 RTP classifies El Rancho Drive as a Moderate Access
Control (MAC) Arterial. The posted speed limit near the project site is 35 mph.
Sun Valley Boulevard / Clear Acre Lane is generally a north‐south five‐lane roadway (two lanes in each
direction and a two‐way left‐turn lane). North of El Rancho Drive the roadway is named Sun Valley
Boulevard and south of El Rancho Drive it is named Clear Acre Lane. Sun Valley Boulevard and Clear Acre
Lane are both classified as MAC Arterials in the 2040 RTP. The posted speed limit on Sun Valley Boulevard
north of El Rancho Drive is 35 mph. South of El Rancho Drive, the speed limit is 45 mph.
School Bus Service and Public Transit Facilities
The current Washoe County School District policy is to provide bus service for students outside a three (3)
mile radius of the school. Figure 3 shows a three mile radius in relation to the proposed High School at
Wildcreek site. A portion of the zoning district in the northern part of Sun Valley would be eligible for bus
service.

Boulevard. Service is provided on 30 minute to one hour headways from 5:45 AM to approximately 11:30
PM Monday through Friday. Weekend and holiday service is provided on one hour headways, with
Saturday service from 5:45 AM to approximately 11:30 PM, and Sunday and holiday service from
approximately 5:45 AM to approximately 10:30 PM.
The Wildcreek site is generally served by public transit (Routes 5 and 15 in particular). Service for a high
school could potentially be significantly improved by moving Route 15 to Sullivan Lane instead of El
Rancho Drive. Such a decision would have to be made by the Regional Transportation Commission based
on overall ridership demand and other factors.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
Bicycle and pedestrian facilities including bicycle lanes and sidewalks exist sporadically within the project
vicinity. Figure 4 shows the current gaps in the bicycle and pedestrian network near the project site.
Bike lanes exist on McCarran Boulevard, El Rancho Drive, and Clear Acre Lane, and on Sun Valley Boulevard
between 2nd Avenue and 7th Avenue. There are currently no bike lanes on Sullivan Lane, Wedekind Road,
or on Sun Valley Boulevard between El Rancho Drive and 2nd Avenue.
Sidewalk facilities in the project area also have gaps. There are no sidewalks along the north side of
McCarran Boulevard adjacent to the project site. The south side of McCarran Boulevard has an asphalt

walking path from Sullivan Lane to Wedekind Road. Sullivan Lane has sidewalk along its west side from
McCarran Boulevard to El Rancho Drive. Sidewalks exist on both side of El Rancho Drive from McCarran
Boulevard to Wildcreek Drive, and along the west side from Wildcreek Drive to Sullivan Lane and from
Maynard Way to Sun Valley Boulevard. Clear Acre Lane and Sun Valley Boulevard have short sections of
noncontiguous sidewalk throughout most of their lengths. There are no sidewalks on Wedekind Road
north/east of McCarran Boulevard.
TRAFFIC ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
Level of service (LOS) is a term commonly used by transportation practitioners to measure and describe
the operational characteristics of intersections, roadway segments, and other facilities. For intersection
analysis, this term equates seconds of delay per vehicle at the intersection to letter grades “A” through
“F” with “A” representing optimum conditions and “F” representing breakdown or over capacity flows.
The complete methodology is established in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2010, published by the
Transportation Research Board (TRB). Table 1 presents the delay thresholds for each level of service grade
at signalized and unsignalized intersections.

Level of Service Policy
The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) published 2040 Regional Transportation Plan (2040 RTP)
establishes level of service criteria for regional roadway facilities in the City of Reno, City of Sparks, and
Washoe County. The current Level of Service policy is:
“All regional roadway facilities projected to carry less than 27,000 ADT at the latest RTP horizon – LOS
D or better.”
“All regional roadway facilities projected to carry 27,000 or more ADT at the latest RTP horizon – LOS
E or better.”
“All intersections shall be designed to provide a level of service consistent with maintaining the policy
level of service of the intersecting corridors”.
Where intersections are already experiencing level of service beyond the thresholds, conditions should
not be exacerbated. In practice, this is commonly interpreted as not increasing average delay per vehicle
by more than 5 seconds.
The following LOS thresholds were used for this study based on the above regional policies:
El Rancho Drive / Sun Valley Boulevard – LOS E
El Rancho Drive / Sullivan Lane – LOS D
Sullivan Lane / Niblick Drive – LOS D
Sullivan Lane / Green Vista Drive – LOS D
McCarran Boulevard / Sullivan Lane – LOS E
McCarran Boulevard / Wedekind Road – LOS E
McCarran Boulevard / El Rancho Drive – LOS E
EXISTING TRAFFIC OPERATIONS
Existing conditions intersection level of service analysis was performed for the study intersections using
Synchro 9 analysis software, with reporting for unsignalized intersections based on HCM 2010 and
reporting for signalized intersections based on HCM 2000 methodology. HCM 2010 software does not
enable analysis of signalized intersections with shared through/turn lanes and exclusive turn lanes on the
same approach. For consistency between analysis scenarios, HCM 2000 reporting was used for all
signalized intersections.
The existing intersection lane configurations and traffic controls are shown on Figure 5 and the existing
traffic volumes are shown on Figure 6. Table 2 shows the existing level of service results for the studied
intersections.

PROJECT TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION
Trip Generation
Trip generation rates from the Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition published by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) were used to develop trip generation estimates for the proposed high
school. Table 3 shows the trip generation estimates for the AM, Afternoon (dismissal peak period), and
PM peak hours.
Table 3: Trip Generation Estimates
Trips1
Land Use
Size AM Afternoon PM
(ITE Code) Daily AM Afternoon2 PM

(350) students
Notes:
1. Trips were calculated based on the following rates per student: Daily – 1.71; AM – 0.43 (68% in / 32% out); Afternoon –
0.29 (33% in / 67% out); PM – 0.13 (47% in / 53% out)
2. The afternoon peak period is 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
Source: Traffic Works, 2017
As shown in the table, the proposed high school would generate approximately 4,275 daily trips, 1,075
AM, 725 Afternoon, and 325 PM peak hour trips based on an enrollment capacity of 2,500 students.
The trip generation rates inherently consider the various travel modes to and from the high school
including walking, bicycling, and bus ridership. Therefore, no trip rate reductions were applied for the use
of alternate travel modes.
With this volume of traffic generated, the project would not be considered “regionally significant” based
on traffic volumes.
Trip Distribution
The distribution of trips to the adjacent roadway network was determined based on the probable school
zoning (encompassing all of Sun Valley and the current Hug High School zone). Project trips are anticipated
to be distributed as follows and shown on Figure 7:
45% to/from the north via Sun Valley Boulevard
5% to/from the northwest via Dandini Boulevard and Clear Acre Lane
30% to/from the west and south via El Rancho Drive, Sullivan Lane, and Wedekind Road
15% to/from the west via N. McCarran Boulevard
5% to/from the east via N. McCarran Boulevard

ACCESS OPTIONS, TRAFFIC OPERATIONS, & REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS
There are several good options for vehicular access to the Wildcreek site. Primary access points would
likely be located on Sullivan Lane and/or at the McCarran Boulevard/Wedekind Road intersection. It is
evident that high quality, high capacity intersections can be reasonably constructed to serve the high
school traffic demand. The various access point options have been considered and discussed with the
City of Sparks and Nevada Department of Transportation, but no decisions have been made at this
preliminary investigation stage.
Two overall access alternatives for the High School at Wildcreek were considered and are analyzed in this
report to determine the level of intersection and roadway improvements that would be necessary to
accommodate a new high school at the subject site. Again, these access alternatives are very preliminary
concepts only for the purpose of investigating the types and magnitude of off‐site improvements that
should be anticipated.
Wedekind Traffic Signal Scenario
The access scenario shown on Figure 8 assumes that a new traffic signal could be constructed at the
McCarran Blvd/Wedekind Rd intersection and that this improved connection of the site to McCarran Blvd
would serve as a primary access for the high school. A second access point would be constructed on
Sullivan Lane potentially opposite Green Vista Drive. This alternative contemplates a third minor access
point on Sullivan Lane potentially opposite Niblick Drive. The access intersections are assumed to consist
of the following configurations:
McCarran Boulevard / Wedekind Road – signalize intersection and allow all movements
A roundabout is contemplated north of the McCarran Blvd/Wedekind Rd intersection to
better tie Wedekind Road to the project site
Sullivan Lane / Green Vista Drive – signalize intersection, add a southbound left‐turn pocket
on Sullivan Lane, and modify the westbound approach to include a left and a through/right‐
turn lane from the project site
Sullivan Lane / Niblick Drive – Side‐street stop control on project access approach
The intersection turning movement volumes for this scenario are shown on Figure 9.
Through the course of the analysis it was determined that other intersection capacity improvements
would be needed with this access scenario to provide acceptable levels of service at each study
intersection. The additional off‐site improvements are:
El Rancho Drive / Sun Valley Boulevard: Convert the existing westbound to northbound right‐turn
lane to a free right‐turn with a receiving acceleration and merge lane
El Rancho Drive / Sullivan Lane: Add a channelized right‐turn lane to the westbound approach at
a minimum, possibly a roundabout or signal depending on the final distribution of traffic

Table 4: Existing Plus Project Intersection Level of Service Results – Wedekind Traffic Signal
As shown in the table, all the studied intersections are expected to operate at acceptable levels of service
under Existing Plus Project conditions with the prior listed improvements.
The City of Sparks has expressed concern over this alternative due to the construction of two new traffic
signals and their close spacing to other existing traffic signals. The City may not support the Wedekind

Traffic Signal access scenario. Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) staff are not necessarily
opposed to the traffic signal alternative, but have not rendered an official opinion. NDOT staff have
suggested that traffic signal systems may be under consideration at Wedekind Road based on the need
for signalized pedestrian crossing of McCarran Boulevard and pedestrian safety concerns. At this time it
is unclear if a traffic signal would be approved at Wedekind Road, therefore other access options should
be considered.
Sullivan Lane Primary Access Scenario
The access alternative shown on Figure 10 contemplates primary access for the high school on Sullivan
Lane and an intentional division of the high school traffic between two new roundabouts on Sullivan Lane.
Under this scenario, a connection may or may not be made to Wedekind Road. If connection were made
to Wedekind Road, the McCarran Blvd/Wedekind Road intersection would likely need to be reconfigured
for a safer design with increased traffic volumes. The access intersections are assumed to include the
following configurations:
Sullivan Lane / Niblick Drive – single‐lane roundabout with a shared left/through/right lane
on all four approaches
Sullivan Lane / Green Vista Drive – single‐lane roundabout with a shared left/through/right
lane on all four approaches
A roundabout is contemplated north of the McCarran Blvd/Wedekind Rd intersection to
better tie Wedekind Road to the project site
McCarran Boulevard / Wedekind Road – side‐street stop control with right‐in/right‐out/left‐
in access to Wedekind Road. The intersection configuration would not allow left‐turn
movements from Wedekind Road to McCarran Boulevard, or through movements on
Wedekind Road across McCarran Boulevard.
The intersection turning movement volumes for this scenario are shown on Figure 11.
Other off‐site intersection capacity improvements needed for acceptable level of service are:
El Rancho Drive / Sun Valley Boulevard: Convert the existing westbound to northbound right‐turn
lane to a free right‐turn with a receiving acceleration and merge lane
El Rancho Drive / Sullivan Lane: Add a channelized right‐turn lane to the westbound approach at
a minimum, possibly a roundabout or signal depending on the final distribution of traffic
McCarran Boulevard / Sullivan Lane: Construct major intersection improvements including
modifying and adding lanes on the northbound and southbound approaches, lengthening of the
eastbound left‐turn lane, signal modifications, and signal phasing/timing revisions

FUTURE YEAR (2040) CONDITIONS
Planned Regional Roadway Improvements
The 2040 RTP outlines programmed roadway projects of regional significance. The project list is split into
three time periods: 2017 – 2021 (first five years of the plan), 2022 – 2026 (second five years of the plan),
and 2027 – 2040 (remaining years of the plan). The following roadway projects are programmed within
the project vicinity.
Note that the Pyramid Highway/Sun Valley/US 395 Connector (listed in italics below) is not included in
this traffic analysis to ensure a conservative analysis. Construction of that new roadway would reduce
traffic volumes on McCarran Boulevard adjacent to the project site. Therefore project effects and
improvements would be less than described in this report. This 2040 Conditions analysis presents a worst
case scenario, assuming higher background traffic volumes near the proposed high school.

Plata from 2 to 4 lanes
2040 Traffic Volumes
2040 roadway and intersection volumes were developed using model outputs from the RTC’s regional
travel demand model. Base year and future year model volumes were used to develop growth rates for
the study area roadways and intersections. The model volumes were adjusted upward assuming the
worst case scenario that the Pyramid‐395 Connector might not be in place by 2040.
2040 No Project Intersection Level of Service Analysis
2040 No Project conditions intersection level of service analysis was performed for the study intersections
using Synchro 9 analysis software, with reporting for unsignalized intersections based on HCM 2010 and
reporting for signalized intersections based on HCM 2000 methodology. HCM 2010 does not support
analysis of signalized intersections with shared through/turn lanes and exclusive turn lanes on the same
approach. For consistency between analysis scenarios, HCM 2000 reporting was used for all signalized
intersections. The level of service analysis assumes six (6) lanes on McCarran Boulevard (per the 2040 RTP)
and the existing lane configurations at all other intersections. A default heavy vehicle percentage of 2
percent and the existing peak hour factors were used for all locations. The 2040 intersection lane
configurations and traffic controls are shown on Figure 12 and 2040 background traffic volumes are shown
on Figure 13. Table 6 shows the level of service and delay at the study intersections for this study scenario.

As shown in Table 6, the McCarran Boulevard / Wedekind Road intersection is expected to operate at LOS
F under 2040 No Project conditions during the AM, Afternoon, and PM peak hours. All other studied
intersections are projected to operate at acceptable levels of service.
2040 PLUS PROJECT INTERSECTION LEVELS OF SERVICE
The project generated traffic volumes were distributed and assigned to the study intersections for the
2040 Plus Project conditions level of service analysis. The 2040 background condition lane configurations
and traffic controls were assumed for the study intersections except as modified by the improvements
noted with each access scenario. The existing Peak Hour Factors were used for all locations and a default
heavy vehicle percentage of 2 percent was used for all locations.

As shown in the table, each of the study intersections is expected to operate at acceptable levels of service
in the 2040 timeframe with the improvement list outlined in the Sullivan Lane Primary Access scenario.
No additional mitigation needs were identified by the 2040 evaluation.
CONCLUSIONS
This analysis serves the sole purpose of identifying, at a preliminary level, what types of traffic and
transportation improvements would likely be necessary to appropriately manage the additional traffic
generated by a 2,500 student high school at the Wildcreek site.
Access for the project could be constructed via several different configurations with connections to
Sullivan Lane and potentially a connection to the McCarran Boulevard/Wedekind Road intersection. This
analysis demonstrates that acceptable traffic operations could be maintained under a variety of access
configurations and that the project’s impacts on traffic flow and circulation could be reasonably mitigated.
Based on the analysis to date, the following transportation improvements should be anticipated as
necessary with the project:
El Rancho Drive / Sun Valley Boulevard: Convert the existing westbound to northbound right‐turn
lane to a free right‐turn with a receiving acceleration and merge lane
El Rancho Drive / Sullivan Lane: Add a channelized right‐turn lane to the westbound approach at
a minimum, possibly a roundabout or signal depending on the final distribution of traffic
Sullivan Lane / North Project Access: Construct a single‐lane roundabout or other intersection
improvements
Sullivan Lane / South Project Access: Construct a single‐lane roundabout or other intersection
improvements
McCarran Boulevard / Sullivan Lane: Construct major intersection improvements including
modifying or adding lanes on the northbound and southbound approaches, lengthening of the
eastbound left‐turn lane, signal modifications, and signal phasing/timing revisions
McCarran Boulevard / Wedekind Road: Construct a traffic signal if permitted by NDOT and the
City of Sparks, OR, construct a median island on McCarran Boulevard limiting traffic movements
to right‐in/right‐out/left‐in access to/from both approaches of Wedekind Road. The median
configuration would prohibit left‐turn movements and through movements departing from
Wedekind Road to McCarran Boulevard to improve intersection safety. Improvements at this
intersection would only be needed if the project were to obtain access at McCarran
Blvd/Wedekind Road.
Project Connection to Wedekind Road: If connection is made to Wedekind Road, construct a
roundabout or other intersection improvements on Wedekind Road north of McCarran Boulevard
Sullivan Lane & McCarran Boulevard Roadways: Construct sidewalks and bicycle lanes along the
project frontage(s)

Sullivan Lane, El Rancho Drive & McCarran Boulevard Roadways: Construct sidewalks and bicycle
lanes at select locations to fill in gaps in the existing walking/cycling infrastructure
Public Transit: Based on RTC input, potentially construct a RTC Ride transit stop on Sullivan Lane
near the campus entrance. The RTC may wish to consider changes to Route 15 to better serve
high school students.
Other improvements as identified by future traffic impact studies: The intersection mitigation
requirements may change based on the final site plan and access configurations. Additionally,
reviewing agencies may require the evaluation of other intersections, traffic scenarios, or
transportation aspects.

RENO-SPARKS AREA ANALYSIS AND DESCRIPTION
The Reno-Sparks metropolitan area is situated on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada
Mountain Range in a large valley known as the Truckee Meadows. Two major freeways serve
the region. Interstate 80 runs in an east-west direction through Reno, while U.S. 395/I-580 runs
in a north-south direction through Reno. The following summarizes Reno’s vicinity to other
major metropolitan areas in the region.
McCarran Boulevard is a ring road that encircles the Reno-Sparks area and facilitates
access between the various quadrants of the region. Overall, the Reno-Sparks area has very good
roadway and highway access.
The Reno-Sparks metropolitan area’s location is a positive amenity due to its proximity
to major California markets, as well as the recreational and scenic amenities afforded by its
proximity to the Sierra-Nevada Mountains and Lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe is a 45-minute drive
from downtown Reno and is the second largest alpine lake in the world, with 72 miles of Lake
Frontage. Lake Tahoe also offers the greatest concentration of downhill skiing facilities in North
America.
The Truckee Meadows is located at an elevation of approximately 4,400 feet above sea
level and offers a semi-arid climate. The following chart summarizes weather data for the Reno
area.
17-107 7
RENO WEATHER
The primary source of water for the region is the Truckee River, which originates at Lake
Tahoe, approximately 30 miles southwest of Reno, and terminates at Pyramid Lake
approximately 30 miles north of Sparks. The river flows through the heart of downtown Reno
and along the southern edge of Sparks. The Truckee River is a major recreational and scenic
amenity for the region.
17-107 8
Population, Growth and Employment
Since 1970, the Truckee Meadows have been one of the fastest growing areas in the
nation, with the population increasing by over 100% by 1990. According to the Nevada State
Demographer’s Office at the University of Nevada, the population of Washoe County was
estimated to be 436,797 in 2014. The following summarizes historical population estimates for
the region.

although over the past two years unemployment has decreased significantly. Unemployment
rates for Nevada and individual counties in the state are summarized on the following chart.
17-107 9
The unemployment rate for Washoe County and Nevada has historically averaged
between 1% and 2% below the national average. However, with the economic downturn which
began in 2008, Nevada was one of the hardest hit in the nation and currently has among the
highest unemployment rate in the country. Improvement has occurred in the employment
market, with the State of Nevada now under 5% unemployment. The following chart
summarizes the unemployment rate gap between the State of Nevada and the United States.
Nevada offers one of the most liberal tax structures in the country. Nevada levies no
personal or corporate income tax. Nevada’s Freeport law exempts from taxation merchandise
warehoused, assembled or processed in the State of Nevada. Real estate taxes in the State of
Nevada are limited by State constitution to a maximum of $5 per $100 of assessed valuation.
The assessed valuation is 35% of the Assessor’s estimate of the taxable value of the property.
Although it is not located in Washoe County, construction of the new Tesla Gigafactory
in nearby Storey County within the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center is expected to have a huge
impact on the entire region. On September 5, 2014, Tesla announced that the Tahoe Reno
Industrial Park (TRIC), located east of Sparks, had landed the coveted Gigafactory. Over $1.25
billion in State of Nevada incentives were approved for development of the project. In return,
17-107 10
Tesla will be required to complete $5 billion in capital investments on the facility through 2028.
The cost for the building and site infrastructure will be $1.1 billion. Machinery and equipment
will account for the remaining $3.9 billion, including materials processing and product assembly.
Once the 5.5 million square foot facility reaches full operation, it will produce enough batteries
for 500,000 Tesla electric cars each year. As part of the deal, the USA Parkway extension was
fast-tracked; this $43 million project extends USA Parkway from its current terminus in TRIC, to
U.S. Highway 50 in Silver Springs, greatly reducing travel times between Interstate 80 and U.S.
Highway 50. In January 2015, Las Vegas-based Switch announced plans to build a 3 million
square foot data center project in the same industrial center. The project is expected to be built
in phases with a total of $1 billion in investment with it; the first phase was completed in 2017.

Within the past decade, legalized gaming has continued to spread across the country and
gaming revenues for northern Nevada have been impacted. The opening of several Indian
casinos in the State of California in recent years and the proposed openings of several other
Indian Casinos in California have had a dramatic effect on the gaming economy in the Reno-
Sparks area. Over the past decade, several casinos in the downtown Reno market, including the
Sundowner Hotel Casino, the Comstock Hotel Casino, Fitzgerald, and the Golden Phoenix Hotel
Casino, have closed.
The following summarizes data provided by the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors
Authority, regarding visitor counts for the Reno-Sparks area.
Residential Market
The residential market in the Reno-Sparks area grew tremendously in the 1990’s and this
growth continued until 2006, when the residential housing crisis began. The downturn in the
residential market had a tremendous impact on residential development and sales within the
Reno-Sparks market, resulting in very limited new construction for the past five years. Although
the residential real estate market has struggled there are signs of recovery. The existing
residential home sales and prices are on the rebound. Market activity has increased significantly
in Northern Nevada in recent months and the residential market is on the rebound after a long
period of decline. Sale offers are reported at or above list prices and sellers are receiving
multiple offers.
The October 2017 Market Report presented by the Reno/Sparks Association of Realtors
reports that, “The recently released tax reform framework promises to lower taxes for the middle
class and create economic growth,” said John Graham, 2017 President of the Reno/Sparks
17-107 12
Association of REALTORS. “However, restricting the Mortgage Interest Deduction to just the
top 5 percent and repealing the deduction for state and local taxes would eliminate the time-
honored tax incentives of owning a home for current and prospective homeowners. It could also
lower the value of all homes by more than 10 percent and inhibit growth.”
The October median price at $348,500 is up 4% from September and up 12% from a year
ago.
October unit sales at 538 are down 12% from September and up 4% compared to October
2016.
October new listings are down 5% at 536 compared to September and down 8% from one
year ago.
The Reno market is a seller’s market, at 1.7 months supply of inventory. Months supply
of inventory is the time it would take to exhaust the active inventory at the current rate of
sales. The Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS calculates the Months Supply of
Inventory by dividing active inventory by unit sales. Pending sales are excluded from the
calculation.
Sales were down in October. Year-to-date sales are at a record high of 5,779. That's 266
sales or 5% increase over the same period in 2016.
The October median sales for the Reno/Sparks area at $348,500 is up 12% from a year
ago. The median price has leveled the past three months, after a high for the year in July.
New listing inventory has been on the decline since June of this year.
The available active inventory is at new low at just 899 active available listings. In all
prices ranges except over $750,000, there a less than 3 months supply of inventory. Over
$750,000 there is 8 Months Supply of Inventory.
The average days to contract are 49 in October down 8% compared to October 2016.
Properties are remaining on the market an average of 88 days down 5% from October
2016.
Sellers are receiving an average of 99% of list price level up less than 1% from October
2016.

Improvement in the residential market is stimulating new construction. Most of the bulk
finished lots within the market have been purchased by developers; most of these lots were bank
owned during the recession. With job growth projected at over 50,000 new jobs in the coming
years, demand for new housing in the area is expected to be extremely strong.

Industrial Market
In an effort to diversify the economic base of the area, community leaders have focused
upon the expansion of the industrial segment of the economy. The industrial industry has
experienced substantial growth over the past decade as a result of the region’s central location,
good transportation, infrastructure and liberal tax laws. At the present time, over 500 major U.S.
and foreign corporations have headquarters or located large facilities in the area, including
Amazon.com, International Gaming Technology (IGT), Barnes and Noble, Patagonia, Sherwin
Williams, Wal-Mart Distribution Center, J.C. Penney’s Catalog Distribution Center, and R.R.
Donnelley, one of the nation’s largest publishers.
On September 5, 2014, Tesla announced that the Tahoe Reno Industrial Park (TRIC),
located east of Sparks, had landed the coveted Gigafactory. Over $1.25 billion in State of
Nevada incentives were approved for development of the project. In return, Tesla will be
required to complete $5 billion in capital investments on the facility through 2028. The cost for

TRIC, to U.S. Highway 50 in Silver Springs, greatly reducing travel times between Interstate 80
and U.S. Highway 50; this road project is nearing completion.
As most major cities in the western portion of the United States are located within
relatively close proximity and driving time to Northern Nevada, the Reno-Sparks area is a major
distribution warehousing center. This development is further being enhanced by the favorable
tax environment in the state of Nevada. Leases for industrial users in the Reno-Sparks market
are typically based upon triple net lease terms. The CBRE Reno Industrial Market View 2nd
Quarter 2017 Report indicates the following:

Retail Market
The Reno-Sparks area now offers three regional shopping centers and more than 100
neighborhood or local shopping centers. The three major regional centers are Meadowood Mall,
the Summit Sierra Mall, and the Legends at Sparks Marina.
Leases for retail space in the Reno-Sparks market are typically based upon triple net lease
terms or modified gross lease terms. Under triple net lease terms, tenants typically pay a base
rental rate, and are also responsible for paying most operating expenses associated with the
property, including utilities, taxes, insurance, management, typical repairs and maintenance, and
other expense items. In multi-tenant projects, these additional fees are most often billed back to
tenants; these are often referred to as Common Area Maintenance (CAM) fees. The CBRE Reno

Office Market
The Reno-Sparks office market consists of a variety of product types, from older second
and third generation properties, to new, high-end Class A office space. Leases for professional
office uses in the Reno-Sparks market are typically based upon full service gross lease terms or
modified gross lease terms. Under full service gross lease terms, owners are responsible for all
operating costs associated with the building. Typically, these leases incorporate base year
expense stops, with tenants responsible for any increases in operating expenses over the base
year. Under modified gross lease terms, the tenant is typically responsible for utilities and
janitorial service. Due to increases in utility expenses, many property owners now market
properties on modified gross lease terms, with some even marketing properties on triple net lease
terms, in which the tenant is responsible for all operating expenses associated with the building.

Summary
In summary, the Reno-Sparks area has experienced rapid population growth over the past
several decades due to the excellent quality of life. Historically, the gaming industry has been
the principal economic base for the area. With the legalization of gaming across the United
States, the area’s principal industry is experiencing a major challenge.
In response to this challenge, the National Bowling Stadium and Downtown Events
Center have been built, the Reno-Sparks Convention Center has been expanded and renovated,
special events have been expanded, the City of Reno is actively supporting downtown
revitalization, and a AAA professional baseball stadium was completed in April of 2009. Tesla
began construction on their new Gigafactory just east of Sparks in the Tahoe Reno Industrial
Park in 2014. The area has experienced success in broadening the economic base with the
expansion of the hi-tech and back office industries.

SUBJECT PROPERTY ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The following sets forth general findings and conclusions set forth in a Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment prepared by McGinley & Associates on September 14, 2017. The appraisal report has
been completed assuming the data set forth in the Phase I, which found no major items of hazardous
substances or environmental concerns on the site.
17-107 52
SUBJECT PROPERTY WATER RIGHTS
Washoe County Assessor’s Parcel Number 027-011-05, which the subject is a portion of, does have
appurtenant water rights. According to Ms. Vivian Carvin, who researched water rights on the
property, the subject includes portions of Permit Numbers 78563 and 78564. The following
summarizes Ms. Carvin’s findings, as provided to Wood Rodgers in a letter dated October 5, 2017.
In addition to the above water rights, the subject ownership has also reportedly transferred 448.88±
acre feet of Truckee River water rights to the Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA), in order to
utilize 500± acre feet of effluent on the existing golf course on the property. The Market Value
analysis for the 75.00± acres does not include water rights. A separate analysis of water rights will
address the Market Value Range of water rights on the subject site which are assumed to be usable for
municipal water service.

The subject currently has immediate access to electricity, water, gas, phone and internet
services. In addition, the subject site does have access to an effluent line, which is reportedly
located toward the southeast portion of the site, and effluent can be utilized for irrigation on
the site.
17-107 54
SUBJECT PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS
The subject property is improved with an 18-hole golf course, a 9-hole executive par 3 course,
a driving range, a 12,596± square foot clubhouse building constructed in 1979, a storage
building, a covered picnic structure, various irrigation equipment and other improvements
associated with the golf course. Additionally, the subject is improved with various parking
areas and cart paths. Improvements on the site were in average condition as of the date of
inspection.
The taxable value of the property is based upon the Assessor’s estimate of the full cash value
of the site. The taxable value of the improvements is based upon the replacement cost new of
the improvements which the Assessor estimates utilizing Marshall Valuation Service a
nationally recognized and accepted cost estimating publication. Straight line depreciation of
1.5% per year is deducted from the replacement cost new of the improvements.
17-107 55
SUBJECT REAL PROPERTY TAXES (ENTIRE PARCEL)
A.P.N. 027-011-05
The subject property is owned by Washoe County, and is therefore exempt from real property
taxes. If the property were to be owned by a private entity, the property would be subject to
real property taxes.
17-107 56
HIGHEST AND BEST USE ANALYSIS
Highest and best use is defined in the 6th Edition of The Dictionary of Real Estate
Appraisal (Appraisal Institute, Chicago, 2015) as:
1. The reasonably probable use of property that results in the highest value. The four
criteria that the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical
possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum productivity.
2. The use of an asset that maximizes its potential and that is possible, legally permissible,
and financially feasible. The highest and best use may be for continuation of an asset’s
existing use or for some alternative use. This is determined by the use that a market
participant would have in mind for the asset when formulating the price that it would be
willing to bid. (IVS)
3. The highest and most profitable use for which the property is adaptable and needed or
likely to be needed in the reasonably near future. (Uniform Appraisal Standards for
Federal Land Acquisitions)
Physically Possible
The subject property is a 75.00± acre portion of a 212.223± acre parcel. The subject
parcel is summarized in the chart below.
The subject property has adequate physical characteristics for development. The subject
site has sufficient size, adequate shape, utilities immediately available, and adequate topography
and soils for development. The subject site is encumbered by the Orr Ditch as well as several
ponds, which must be addressed if the property were to be developed; the Orr Ditch could be
incorporated as open space in a development, or could be undergrounded through the property.
Overall, the physically possible uses of the site include a wide variety of development
possibilities, including commercial and residential uses.
17-107 57
Legally Permissible
The following summarizes the subject’s current zoning and land use designations, and
discusses zoning on the site.
This appraisal report, and the market value conclusions set forth in the report, are based
upon the Extraordinary Assumption that the subject site will remain in the Public Facility (PF)
zoning district. As is indicated in the chart above, legally permissible uses on a PF zoned
property are limited to uses associated with public uses, and do not include residential, industrial,
or retail development. It is noted that office uses are an allowed use, as are various public uses
such as schools and hospitals.
17-107 58
Financially Feasible & Maximally Productive
The highest and best use of the subject property must be financially feasible and represent
the maximally productive use of the property. To be financially feasible, there must be adequate
demand to support the highest and best use of the property.
The subject, under its current and assumed PF zoning designation, would allow various
public facility uses and office development. Development with residential, retail or industrial
would not be allowed for the most part, unless it was part of a Public Facility use.
Based upon the physically possible uses of the property, and based upon the subject’s
current and assumed Public Facility zoning, I have determined that the highest and best use of
the site would be for development or use with a Public Facility use. The client of this appraisal
report intends to purchase the site for development with a new high school, which would
represent a maximally productive use of the site.
17-107 59
INTRODUCTION TO VALUATION ANALYSIS-LAND VALUE
There are three approaches to value an appraiser generally must consider in estimating
the value of a property. These approaches include the Cost Approach, the Income Approach and
the Sales Comparison Approach.
Valuation Techniques
This appraisal is being prepared for the purpose of estimating the Market Value of the
identified subject property as of the effective date of value. As this appraisal report is addressing
the Market Value of vacant land, the Sales Comparison Approach to Value is the method utilized
to determine the Market Value of the larger parcel.
The Sales Comparison Approach is based upon the principal of substitution, which holds
that the value of a property tends to be set by the price that would be paid to acquire a substitute
property of similar utility and desirability. In valuing the Fee Simple Market Value of the
subject property as of the effective date of value, the Sales Comparison Approach to Value will
be completed. This approach to value is felt to represent the best indicator of market value for
the subject property as of the effective date of value.
Selection of Sales
In selecting comparable land sales data, I have researched the Official Records of
Washoe County, interviewed numerous realtors and brokers in the market, and have researched
other providers of real estate data in the market including Multiple Listing Service, CoStar, and
Loopnet. The chart below summarizes the sales data utilized to value the subject parcel, which is
followed by a sales map, profile sheets and the valuation of the subject property as of the
effective date of value.

MARKET VALUE ANALYSIS & CONCLUSION
In analyzing the Market Value of the subject property, a total of four land sales and one
land listing were considered. The chart below summarizes the sales and listing.
Discussion of Adjustments
The comparable properties utilized in this analysis will be compared and correlated to the
subject property based upon several adjustment criteria. These include property rights conveyed,
financing terms, conditions of sale, market conditions, location, physical characteristics,
zoning/use, and non-realty components of value. The sales will be analyzed based upon a sale
price per acre basis.
Within the adjustment to sales section, most adjustments made will be qualitative
adjustments, due to a lack of sale and resale activity from which to garner quantitative
adjustments. In qualitatively adjusting the sales, an upward (+) adjustment is made to the
comparable sale’s price per acre when the subject is superior to the sale for specific criteria;
likewise, a downward adjustment (-) is made to the comparable sale’s price per acre when the
subject is inferior to the sale for specific criteria. If the comparable sale is similar to the subject
for specific criteria, then no adjustment is warranted (=).
Several of the comparable land sales included water rights. In this appraisal, no water
rights are included in the valuation of the subject property. As there is a market for water rights
and there is sufficient data with which to make quantitative adjustments for water rights, the
sales which included water rights will be adjusted quantitatively; the sales which included water
rights will be adjusted downward on a per acre basis.
17-107 68
Quantitative Adjustments
Water Rights Adjustment
Although the subject property does have a significant amount of water rights, this portion
of the appraisal report assumes that there is not water rights attributable to the land; a separate
analysis of the Market Value of water rights will be completed. Two of the sales included water
rights, while three of the sales did not include water rights. The two sales which included water
rights had 23± acre feet (Sale 2) and 217.64± acre feet (Sale 5) of water rights; both sales must
be adjusted downward for water rights. The remaining sales do not require adjustments for water
rights.
17-107 69
In general, water rights have ranged in price per acre foot of between $5,000 and $8,000,
depending on place of use, permitted use, and quantity of water rights. Water rights may also be
purchased from the Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA), who currently charges $7,500
per acre foot. Water rights are available on the open market, and as is evidenced in the chart
above, water rights purchases are generally below or near TMWA rates.
Based upon a review of the water rights sales, and with consideration given to the amount
of water rights included in the sales and the subject, I have adjusted the sales for water rights at
$7,000 per acre foot. The chart below summarizes the water rights adjustments made to the
sales.
After adjusting for water rights, the sales indicate an adjusted price per acre range
between $11,283 per acre and $67,500 per acre.
Qualitative Adjustments
In the following analysis, comparisons will be made to the subject parcel and the
comparable sales data. Due to a lack of paired sales data, qualitative adjustments will be made to
the comparable data for the remaining adjustment criteria.
17-107 70
PROPERTY RIGHTS CONVEYED ADJUSTMENT SUMMARY
Property Interest Conveyed Adjustment Required
1 Fee Simple No Adjustment
2 Fee Simple No Adjustment
3 Fee Simple No Adjustment
4 Fee Simple No Adjustment
5 Fee Simple No Adjustment
Subject Fee Simple =
Conditions of Sale
Based upon interviews with the persons involved in each of the sales utilized in this
analysis, no adjustments are necessary for conditions of sale for any of the sales.
Buyer Expenditures
Each of the sales involved vacant, raw land sales. Although the subject does have
improvements, they are not felt to contribute value to a 75± acre site. Additionally, the exact
17-107 71
location of the subject 75± acres has not been finalized, and therefore some of the improvements
may not be included in the final 75± acre site; therefore, no adjustments for buyer expenditures
are necessary to the sales for buyer expenditures.
Market Conditions
The sales occurred between June 2016 and June 2017. Although none of the comparable
sales has been involved in a sale/resale over this period, I have analyzed other market factors to
determine if a market conditions adjustment is warranted. Additionally, I have interviewed a
number of buyers, sellers and brokers in the market. Each of the interviewees indicated that
demand for vacant land has increased significantly in the Reno-Sparks market over the several
years, and this trend has continued into 2016 and 2017. Overall, upward qualitative adjustments
for market conditions are made to the sales; the two 2016 sales require larger qualitative
adjustments for market conditions.
17-107 72
Other than sale 2, each of the sale properties is felt to have superior zoning in-place, in
comparison to the subject’s PF zoning designation. Sale 2 has General Rural zoning, which is
felt to be less desirable than the subject’s PF zoning. Overall, downward adjustments have been
made to Sales 1, 3, 4 and 5 for zoning/legal development potential. Sale 2 has been adjusted
upward for zoning/development potential.
General Location
The subject is located in Sparks, generally on a parcel located at the northeast corner of
North McCarran Boulevard and Sullivan Lane. The specific location of the 75± acre subject site
has not yet been finalized, but the site is assumed to be developable to its highest and best use.
The chart below summarizes adjustments made to the sales for general location.
Frontage/Access
Adjustments will be made to the sales in comparison to the subject property based upon
their accessibility from adjacent roadways. The subject site is assumed to have sufficient access,
with the main access point along Sullivan Lane, and possible frontages along North McCarran
Boulevard and Wedekind Lane, although the only frontage which is assured is along Sullivan
Lane. The chart below summarizes adjustments made to the sales for frontage/access.

Flood Zone
The subject property is located in a Flood Zone “X”, as are all of the comparable sales
and the listing. No adjustments for flood zone are required.
Size
The sales range in size between 35.903± and 239.292± acres. The subject property
contains 75.00± acres. Generally, a relationship exists between the size of the parcel and the per
unit price paid. An upward adjustment will be made to the sales of larger parcels, while a
downward adjustment will be made for sales with smaller parcel sizes. The following chart
summarizes the size of the sale properties, and the qualitative adjustment required to each sale
for size in comparison to the subject.

Adjustment Chart
The following chart summarizes the adjustments made to the sales in comparison to the
subject property. An equal sign (=) indicates the sale property and the subject are similar and/or
competitive for a particular criterion. A plus sign (+) indicates that the subject is superior for a
particular criterion, and an upward adjustment is required to the sale price per acre of the
comparable; likewise, a minus sign (-) indicates that the subject is inferior for a particular
criterion, and a downward adjustment is required to the sale price per acre of the comparable.
Analysis of Sales
Sale 1 indicates a price per acre sale price of $11,283, which did not require adjustment
for water rights. This sale requires upward adjustments for market conditions, general location,
17-107 76
frontage, access, topography, utilities and size. A downward adjustment was warranted for
zoning/legal development. Overall, this sale property’s $11,283 per acre sale price is considered
a low indicator of value for the subject property on a per acre basis.
Sale 2 indicates a price per acre sale price of $17,408; after adjustment for water rights,
the adjusted per acre price is $12,924. This sale requires upward adjustments for market
conditions, zoning/legal development, general location, frontage, access, topography, utilities,
and flood zone. A downward adjustment was warranted for size. Overall, this sale property’s
$12,924 adjusted per acre sale price is considered a low indicator of value for the subject
property on a per acre basis.
Sale 3 indicates a price per acre sale price of $27,357, which did not require adjustment
for water rights. This sale requires upward adjustments for market conditions and general
location, and slight upward adjustments are warranted for frontage, access, and utilities.
Downward adjustments are warranted for zoning/legal development, topography and size.
Overall, this sale property’s $27,357 per acre sale price is considered a high indicator of value
for the subject property on a per acre basis.
Sale 4 indicates a price per acre sale price of $67,500, which did not require adjustment
for water rights. This sale requires upward adjustments for market conditions, access and
utilities. A large downward adjustment is warranted for zoning/legal development, and a
downward adjustment is warranted for location. Overall, this sale property’s $67,500 per acre
sale price is considered a high indicator of value for the subject property on a per acre basis; this
property has zoning in place to allow a vast number of potential uses, including high density
development.
Sale 5 indicates a price per acre sale price of $53,571; after adjustment for water rights,
the adjusted per acre price is $32,645. This sale requires a slight upward adjustment for market
conditions, and requires upward adjustments for frontage, access and utilities. On the other
hand, downward adjustments are warranted to this sale for zoning/legal development, as well as
general location. Overall, this sale property’s $32,645 adjusted per acre sale price is considered
a high indicator of value for the subject property on a per acre basis; this sale property has zoning
in place to allow single-family residential development in one of the more exclusive residential
areas of Reno.
17-107 77
Conclusion
In estimating an appropriate per acre value for the subject property as of the effective
date of value, consideration has been given to the parcel’s location, zoning designation, and
highest and best use. Consideration is given to the comparable land sales data, the effective date
of value, and the definition of market value being addressed.
It is realized that the exact location of the subject 75± acre site has not yet been finalized,
but the site will be located on Washoe County Assessor’s Parcel Number 027-011-05, and will
include at a minimum significant frontage along Sullivan Lane. The client has requested a value
range to account for the unknown exact location on the site. It is my opinion that a site located
toward the south of A.P.N. 027-011-05 with frontage along North McCarran Boulevard would be
the most desirable location and is represented by the higher end of my value range, due to
increased frontage and visibility from this major arterial roadway and better topography. It is my
opinion that a 75± acre site further north is less desirable and is represented by the lower end of
my value range, as it has less frontage and visibility and steeper topography.
Based upon a careful review and analysis of the available data, it is my opinion that an
appropriate per acre value range applicable to the subject property is $20,000 to $25,000. The
following summarizes the market value conclusion for the subject property as of the effective
date of value.
17-107 78
VALUATION ANALYSIS OF WATER RIGHTS
The client of this appraisal report has requested an analysis of water rights values
associated with water rights associated with the subject site which could be utilized for municipal
water. The following sets forth an analysis of water rights on the subject property.
In addition to the above water rights, the subject ownership has also reportedly transferred 448.88±
acre feet of Truckee River water rights to the Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA), in order to
utilize 500± acre feet of effluent on the existing golf course on the property.
17-107 79
Analysis of Water Rights Values
The subject has a significant amount of water associated with the property. The Washoe
County School District has asked for an analysis of water rights values associated with the water
rights on the subject property which could be utilized for municipal water rights use. In order to
determine a Market Value Range of water rights, I have analyzed sales of water rights, and have
interviewed water rights experts, the Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA), and brokers,
buyers and sellers of water rights. The following chart summarizes numerous water rights
transactions which have occurred in the Reno-Sparks market.
In general, water rights have ranged in price per acre foot of between $5,000 and $8,000,
depending on place of use, permitted use, and quantity of water rights. Water rights may also be
purchased from the Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA), who currently charges $7,500
per acre foot. Water rights are available on the open market, and as is evidenced in the chart
above, water rights purchases are generally below or near TMWA rates.
17-107 80
Based upon a review of the water rights sales, and with consideration given to asking
water rights prices from TMWA, it is my opinion that the water rights on the subject site, which
have the ability to be utilized for municipal service, have a Market Value Range of between
$6,500 per acre foot and $7,500 per acre foot.
17-107 81
EXPOSURE AND MARKETING TIME
Exposure time is defined as the length of time that would have been necessary to expose
the property on the open market, in order to have consummated the sale at the effective date of
valuation. This analysis assumes the property was marketed at the value conclusion contained in
this report.
Marketing time, on the other hand, is the time necessary to consummate a sale of the
subject property assuming that a marketing effort is begun as of the effective date of valuation
and that the property is marketed at the final property value conclusions contained in this report.
In arriving at an estimate of an appropriate exposure and marketing time for the subject
property, consideration is given the subject property’s physical characteristics. Consideration is
also given to the exposure and marketing times of other residential land in the Reno area, and
interviews with brokers and property managers familiar with similar properties.
Based upon a review of the available data, it is my opinion that an appropriate exposure
and marketing time for the subject property, assuming it is marketed at its final property value
conclusions, would be as follows:

17-107 83
The subject is currently zoned Public Facility. The client has requested that the appraisal
report addresses the Market Value of the subject property, based upon the Extraordinary
Assumption that the Public Facility zoning will remain in place on the subject property.
The exact location of the 75± acres of land on the subject parcel has not yet been
finalized. Therefore, this appraisal report addresses the Market Value Range of a 75±
acre parcel of land; the Market Value Range conclusion is based upon the Extraordinary
Assumption that the 75± acres will be located on a portion of Washoe County Assessor’s
Parcel Number 027-011-05, and will have adequate dimensions for development of the
75± acres to its highest and best use.
The subject property is a portion of a parcel which contains significant water rights.

upon completion of the report. The appraisers(s) or those assisting in the preparation of the report will not
be asked or required to give testimony in court or in any other hearing as a result of having prepared the
appraisal, either in full or in part, except under separate and special arrangements at an additional fee. If
testimony or a deposition is required, the client shall be responsible for any additional time, fees and
charges, regardless of the issuing party. Neither the appraiser(s) nor those assisting in the preparation of
the report is required to engage in post- appraisal consultation with the client or other third parties, except
under a separate and special arrangement and at an additional fee.
It is assumed that the improvements and the utilization of the land are within the boundaries of the
property lines of the property described in the report and that there is no encroachment or trespass unless
noted otherwise within the report. No survey of the property has been made by the appraiser(s) and no
responsibility is assumed in connection with such matters. Any maps, plats, or drawings reproduced and
included in the report are there to assist the reader in visualizing the property and are not necessarily drawn
to scale. They should not be considered as surveys or relied upon for any other purpose, nor should they be
removed from, reproduced or used apart from the report.
No responsibility is assumed by the appraiser(s) or the appraisal firm for matters legal in character or
nature. No opinion is rendered as to the status of title to any property. The title is presumed to be good and
merchantable. The property is appraised as if free and clear, unless otherwise stated in the appraisal report.
The legal description, as furnished by the client, his designee or as derived by the appraiser(s), is assumed
to be correct as reported. The appraisal is not to be construed as giving advice concerning liens, title status,
or legal marketability of the subject property.

ENGINEERING, STRUCTURAL, MECHANICAL, ARCHITECTURAL CONDITIONS
This appraisal should not be construed as a report on the physical items that are a part of any property
described in the appraisal report. Although the appraisal may contain information about these physical
items (including their adequacy and/or condition), it should be clearly understood that this information is
only to be used as a general guide for property valuation and not as a complete or detailed report on these
physical items. The appraiser(s) is not a construction, engineering, or architectural expert, and any opinion
given on these matters in this report should be considered tentative in nature and is subject to modification
upon receipt of additional information from appropriate experts. The client is advised to seek appropriate
expert opinion before committing any funds to the property described in the appraisal report.
Any statement in the appraisal regarding the observed condition of the foundation, roof, exterior walls,
interior walls, floors, heating system, plumbing, insulation, electrical service, all mechanicals, and all
matters relating to construction is based on a casual inspection only. Unless otherwise noted in the
appraisal report, no detailed inspection was made. For instance, the appraiser is not an expert on heating
systems, and no attempt was made to inspect the interior of the furnace. The structures were not
investigated for building code violations, and it is assumed that all buildings meet the applicable building
code requirements unless stated otherwise in the report.
Such items as conditions behind walls, above ceilings, behind locked doors, under the floor, or under
the ground are not exposed to casual view and, therefore, were not inspected, unless specifically so stated
in the appraisal. The existence of insulation, if any is mentioned, was discovered through conversations
with others and/or circumstantial evidence. Since it is not exposed to view, the accuracy of any statements
regarding insulation cannot be guaranteed.
Because no detailed inspection was made, and because such knowledge goes beyond the scope of this
appraisal, any comments on observed conditions given in this appraisal report should not be taken as a
guarantee that a problem does not exist. Specifically, no guarantee is given as to the adequacy or condition
of the foundation, roof, exterior walls, interior walls, floors, heating systems, air conditioning systems,
plumbing, electrical service, insulation, or any other detailed construction matters. If any interested party is
concerned about the existence, condition, or adequacy of any particular item, we would strongly suggest
that a mechanical and/or structural inspection be made by a qualified and licensed contractor, a civil or
structural engineer, an architect or other experts. This appraisal report is based on the assumption that there
are no hidden, unapparent or apparent conditions on the property or improvements which would materially
alter the value as reported. No responsibility is assumed for any such conditions or for any expertise or
engineering to discover them. All mechanical components are assumed to be in operable condition and
standard for the properties of the subject type. Conditions of heating, cooling, ventilating, electrical and
plumbing equipment are considered to be commensurate with the condition of the balance of the
improvements unless otherwise stated. No judgment is made in the appraisal as to the adequacy of
insulation, the type of insulation, or the energy efficiency of the improvements or equipment which is
assumed to be standard for the subject's age, type and condition.
Unless otherwise stated in the appraisal report, no attempt has been made to identify or report the
presence of any potentially toxic materials and/or condition such as asbestos, urea formaldehyde foam
insulation, PCBs, any form of toxic waste, polychlorinated biphenyl, pesticides, lead-based paints or soils
or ground water contamination on any land or improvements described in the appraisal report. Before
committing funds to any property, it is strongly advised that appropriate experts be employed to inspect
both land and improvements for the existence of such potentially toxic materials and/or conditions. If any
potentially toxic materials and/or conditions are present on the property, the value of the property may be
17-107 87
adversely affected and a re-appraisal at an additional cost may be necessary to estimate the effects of such
circumstances.
It is assumed that there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the soils or sub-soil which would
render the subject property more or less valuable than reported in the appraisal. No engineering or
percolation tests were made and no liability is assumed for soil conditions. Unless otherwise noted, the
land and the soil in the area being appraised appeared to be firm, but no investigation has been made to
determine whether or not any detrimental sub-soil conditions exist. Neither the appraiser(s) nor the
appraisal firm is liable for any problems arising from soil conditions. These appraisers strongly advise that,
before any funds are committed to a property, the advice of appropriate experts be sought.
If the appraiser(s) has not been supplied with a termite inspection report, survey or occupancy permit,
no responsibility is assumed and no representation is made for any costs associated with obtaining same or
for any deficiencies discovered before or after they are obtained.
Neither the appraiser(s) nor the appraisal firm assumes responsibility for any costs or for any
consequences arising from the need or lack of need for flood hazard insurance. An Agent for the Federal
Flood Insurance Program should be contacted to determine the actual need for flood hazard insurance.
ARCHEOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE
No investigation has been made by the appraiser and no information has been provided to the appraiser
regarding potential archeological significance of the subject property or any portion thereof. This report
assumes no portion of the subject property has archeological significance.
LEGALITY OF USE
This appraisal report assumes that there is full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local
environmental regulations and laws, unless non-compliance is stated, defined and considered in the
appraisal report. It is assumed that all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions have been
complied with, unless a non-conformity has been stated, defined and considered in the appraisal report. It
is assumed that all required licenses, consents, or other legislative or administrative authority from any
local, state or national government, private entity or organization have been or can be obtained or renewed
for any use on which the value estimate contained in this report is based.
COMPONENT VALUES
Any distribution of the total value between the land and improvements, between partial ownership
interests or any other partition of total value applies only under the stated use. Moreover, separate
allocations between components are not valid if this report is used in conjunction with any other analysis.
The Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") became effective January 26, 1992. It is assumed that
the property is in direct compliance with the various detailed requirements of the ADA.
17-107 88
AUXILIARY AND RELATED STUDIES
No environmental or impact studies, special market studies or analyses, special highest and best use
studies or feasibility studies have been requested or made by the appraiser(s) unless otherwise specified in
an agreement for services and so stated in the appraisal report.
The estimated market value set forth in the appraisal report and any cost figures utilized are applicable
only as of the date of valuation of the appraisal report. All dollar amounts are based on the purchasing
power and price of the dollar as of the date of value estimates.
ROUNDING
Some figures presented in this report were generated using computer models that make calculations
based on numbers carried out to three or more decimal places. In the interest of simplicity, most numbers
have been rounded. Thus, these figures may be subject to small rounding errors.
QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS
Although this analysis employs various mathematical calculations to provide value indications, the
final estimate is subjective and may be influenced by our experience and other factors not specifically set
forth in this report.
All values shown in the appraisal report are projections based on our analysis as of the date of
valuation of the appraisal. These values may not be valid in other time periods or as conditions change.
Projected mathematical models set forth in the appraisal are based on estimates and assumptions which are
inherently subject to uncertainty and variations related to exposure, time, promotional effort, terms,
motivation, and other conditions. The appraiser(s) does not represent these models as indicative of results
that will actually be achieved. The value estimates consider the productivity and relative attractiveness of a
property only as of the date of valuation set forth in the report.
In cases of appraisals involving the capitalization of income benefits, the estimate of market value,
investment value or value in use is a reflection of such benefits and of the appraiser's interpretation of
income, yields and other factors derived from general and specific client and market information. Such
estimates are as of the date of valuation of the report, and are subject to change as market conditions
change.
This appraisal is an estimate of value based on analysis of information known to us at the time the
appraisal was made. The appraiser(s) does not assume any responsibility for incorrect analysis because of
incorrect or incomplete information. If new information of significance comes to light, the value given in
this report is subject to change without notice. The appraisal report itself and the value estimates set forth
therein are subject to change if either the physical or legal entity or the terms of financing are different from
what is set forth in the report.
17-107 89
ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL TRENDS
The appraiser assumes no responsibility for economic, physical or demographic factors which may
affect or alter the opinions in this report if said economic, physical or demographic factors were not present
as of the date of value of this appraisal. The appraiser is not obligated to predict future political, economic
or social trends.
EXCLUSIONS
Furnishings, equipment, other personal property and value associated with a specific business
operation are excluded from the value estimate set forth in the report unless otherwise indicated. Only the
real estate is included in the value estimates set forth in the report unless otherwise stated.
SUBSURFACE RIGHTS
No opinion is expressed as to the value of subsurface oil, gas or mineral rights or whether the property
is subject to surface entry for the exploration or removal of such materials, except as is expressly stated.
It is assumed in the appraisal report that all proposed improvements and/or repairs, either on-site or
off-site, are completed in an excellent workmanlike manner in accord with plans, specifications or other
information supplied to these appraisers and set forth in the appraisal report, unless otherwise explicitly
stated in the appraisal. In the case of proposed construction, the appraisal is subject to change upon
inspection of the property after construction is completed. The estimate of market value is as of the date
specified in the report. Unless otherwise stated, the assumption is made that all improvements and/or
repairs have been completed according to the plans and that the property is operating at levels projected in
the report.
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY
It is assumed that the property which is the subject of the appraisal report will be under typically
prudent and competent management which is neither inefficient nor superefficient.
FEE
The fee for any appraisal report, consultation, feasibility or other study is for services rendered and,
unless otherwise stated in the service agreement, is not solely based upon the time spent on any assignment.
LEGAL EXPENSES
Any legal expenses incurred in defending or representing ourselves concerning this assignment will be
the responsibility of the client.
17-107 90
CHANGES AND MODIFICATIONS
The appraiser(s) reserves the right, at the cost of the client, to alter statements, analyses, conclusions,
or any value estimates in the appraisal if any new facts pertinent to the appraisal process are discovered
which were unknown on the date of valuation of this report.
DISSEMINATION OF MATERIAL
Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report shall be disseminated to the general public
through advertising or sales media, public relations media, new media or other public means of
communication without the prior written consent and approval of the appraiser(s).
The acceptance and/or use of the Appraisal Report by the client or any third party
constitutes acceptance of the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions set forth in the preceding
paragraphs. The appraiser’s liability extends only to the specified client, not to subsequent
parties or users. The appraiser’s liability is limited to the amount of the fee received for the
services rendered.
