was affected by the increase in property values in Sebastian. Due to the recent volatility<br />
in land prices in IRC, the study evaluated the vacant land sales of four to six-acre parcels<br />
in West IRC in 2004. The West <strong>County</strong> is defined as the area between 58 th Avenue and<br />
<strong>County</strong> Road 512. The focus on sales in West <strong>County</strong> was due to the fact that most new<br />
facilities are likely to be built in this area. This analysis resulted in a per acre cost of<br />
$102,332 per acre and is shown in Appendix B, Table B-1. The per acre cost of<br />
$102,332 results in a cost of $11.36 per square foot of building ($102,332 x 8.295 acres /<br />
74,731 square feet) and will be used for the land cost in this section.<br />
