Distance Between Schools & Proposed Sites

Site ALand Area: 29.219 Acres

Location Information:

1. Pricing is extremely favorable for the size tract of land which was offered bythe prior administrators at LSU. Current leadership may have a differingconsideration.

2. The land is mostly cleared, level and easily made ready for construction.

3. Utilities are available in the immediate area.

4. Excellent access from Primary and Secondary roads to enable bus traffic, bothentering and exiting the property.

5. Well positioned to serve a large area of East Baton Rouge which is the lastmajor vacant area remaining to be developed in South Baton Rouge.

6. Potential to trade the existing EBR Parish School System’s Arlington Campusfor this tract held by LSU. Arlington is surrounded by LSU properties that areused as a part of their agricultural department.

7. Site is adjacent to the LSU South Campus.

8. Tract size would be large enough to handle multiple schools of different levelsor subdivision into smaller tracts for resale.

9. Site offers opportunity for future growth where land remains fordevelopment.

10. Property is slightly below flood elevation, but the size provides adequateroom for on site mitigation through either playfields or designated dryretention.

Site BLand Area: 58.18 Acres

Location Information:

1. Tract has access from Burbank, Innovation Parkway and fronts on the futureStarring Lane extension right of way. Can easily accommodate bus entryand exit from multiple roads.

2. Starring Lane is a major north south corridor that connects to other areas ofBaton Rouge.

3. Potential to trade the Jefferson Terrace Elementary School which is adjacentto a BREC Park for this property. This could serve as a program center toenhance the existing park.

4. Tract is not for sale and would be subject to discussions with BRECregarding a trade or substitution property.

5. Property is not shown as being in the 100-year flood plain. Shouldadditional elevation be needed, the tract size is large enough to handle onsite fill.

6. Adjacent use as a baseball/softball complex to the west is complimentary aswell as the new subdivision to the west or drainage mitigationrequirements.

7. Site has a small amount of frontage along Burbank which could bealleviated by constructing a portion of the extension of Starring Lane forsignal control access.

Site CCurrent Landowner # 1 In Yellow &

Current Landowner #2 in BlueTotal Land Area – 62.649 Acres

Location Information:

1. Potential to acquire two separate properties that are adjacent to each other.

The additional land fronting the Siegen over pass and the railroad would

provide better access, room for expanded sports fields, parking, and any

drainage/fill mitigation requirements.

2. Combination of the two properties would provide access from both Siegen

and Perkins Road. Perkins Road is to be improved consistent with the

stretch between Bluebonnet and Siegen. Actual commencement date

unknown.

3. A portion of the property falls within the 100-year flood plain. The larger of

the two tracts could stand alone pending the amount of mitigation that

would be required to fill the existing pond and elevate any portion of the

site that may require fill.

4. Property borders existing subdivisions and a BREC Park.

5. Utilities are available bordering the site.

6. Width of site is slightly larger than the improved area of Liberty High School.

7. Property is currently improved and operating as a boarding stable with

rental housing and a main residence on site.

Site DCurrent Landowner # 1 In Yellow &

Current Landowner #2 in BlueLand Area: 45.8 Acres

Approx. Lake Portion is 3.25

Location Information:

1. Potential to acquire two separate properties that are adjacent to each other.

The additional land fronting the Interstate would provide room for expanded

sports fields, parking and any drainage/fill mitigation requirements.

2. Potential to reduce the total area being acquired and “right size” the

configuration of the final tract based on the actual design of the school

facility.

3. Reiger Road (parallel to I-10) is a private servitude of passage that ends at the

subject property and connects with Siegen at a traffic signal. At the northern

boundary, Reitz Boulevard ends at the property and is also connected to

Siegen Lane with a traffic signal.

the property is located within the 100-year flood plain although substantial

improvements have been made since the flood maps were adopted.

which have been removed.

6. The property has a drainage way bordering the property extending under

interstate 10 connecting to Ward’s Creek.
