SCVACFC Site Selection Task Force August 18, 2006 Page 13 Weaknesses Moderately high cost of Site ($4.50 per square foot) and high cost of special assessments (some may be negotiable ($600,000 to $700,000 in special assessments) Peak traffic on Manning and Highway 36 may create access difficulties during peak travel periods due to stacking of vehicles at signal. Future planned interchange at Manning Avenue and TH 36 may create future access difficulties and may significantly reduce convenient access to the Site. Topography is generally flat with some tree cover, but may be difficult due to some low lying areas.
