Fahel had agreed to build a 5,000â€"squareâ€"foot gymnasï¬lm attached to the west side of the school for Gore but planned to sell Gore said last Friday he was still interested in leasing the school and at least some of the approximately 2 1/2 to three acres that went along with it up until Jan. 23 when he received a FAX from Fahel outlining what his plans were for all of the property. Accordâ€" ing to Gore, all he was going to be able to lease was the school building and 30 parking spaces at the west end of the building. "We‘re still going to try for a private school," Fahel said, when asked what he now hoped to do with the property. "And if that does not happen, then we‘ll go to plan B. And plan B is going to be residential. And I‘ll just leave it at that." Fahel confirmed last Friday that a potenâ€" tial deal to lease the building to Gore fell through Jan. 23. He also said at that time he hadn‘t yet begun talking to anyone else about leasing or buying the building because up until Jan. 23 he had been negotiating strictly with Gore. nessman Shawky Fahel pur(haéedvAlo:x.mdmulmm the Waterloo District public school board last Dec. 19, sayâ€" ing he hoped to encourage a local private dvaF school to relocate into the currently vacant With I building to help revitalize uptown Waterloo. eb ares Sicth "With Mr. Fahel‘s plans, with what he‘s proposing to do with the property, the buildâ€" ing no longer suits a school," Gore said.

However Gore said as far as money went, both men had reached agreement on a tentative sum. "I told him, ‘The city is interested in the playground because they‘re deficient (in playground space)‘," Fahel said. "But regardâ€" less of what happens, sell or lease, it will still be part of my deal with you‘. Which means I‘m responsible for him to have the use of (the playground}.

Gore was to get the roughly 32,000â€"squareâ€"foot former school, including the new gymnasium, plus the entire west side of the property, excluding the playground. Gore said one of the main reasons he decided to pass on a lease agreement was that he was not going to be able to lease the school playground directly from Fahel. The playground was a major attraction for Gore whose current students use a 100â€"squareâ€"foot playground at the school on Phillip Street. "The remainder of the property would be currently leased out parking spaces with possible development of apartments or houses in the future," the FAX reads. the school‘s playground, also at the west end, to the City of Waterâ€" loo. In his FAX, Fahel said Gore would still be able to have use of the playground for his students. "I‘m sure 1 could reach s:?ne agreement with the city, but there might be additional insurance or what have you," he said. "It would be necessary for me to then negotiate with the city for usage of the playâ€" ground," Gore said, when asked why he didn‘t go ahead and sign a lease agreement.
