Cost Component<br />

Historical/Replacement Capital Costs<br />

The total cost per resident for parks and recreation facilities consists of two <strong>com</strong>ponents:<br />

the cost of land for the parks and the cost of equipment in the parks.<br />

The cost of land for parks and recreation facilities includes more than just the purchase<br />

cost of the land. Landscaping/site improvement and utilities/paving costs also are<br />

considered, along with the cost to purchase the land. To determine the cost per resident<br />

for land, three calculations must be performed. The first calculation determines the<br />

landscaping and site improvement costs per acre, while the second calculation determines<br />

the utilities and paving cost per acre. A third, subsequent calculation then determines the<br />

cost of the actual land per resident.<br />

The landscaping and site improvement cost per acre figure was calculated using historical<br />

expenditures for the North <strong>County</strong> Regional Park, which was recently constructed in two<br />

phases and reflects typical costs for parks in IRC. Phase I includes the construction of<br />

the pool <strong>com</strong>plex and related facilities, while Phase II includes construction of the multipurpose<br />

ball fields and related facilities. The calculation of the total landscaping and site<br />

improvements cost per acre is illustrated in Table X-4.<br />
