The map indicated an area that could be developed versus one that couldn't be meaning it's undisturbed. A lot of things will go in the development area such as individual buildings, storm water management facilities, infrastructure, landscaping, and some open space parks. The development area does not mean it's a building footprint but means some land disturbance might occur. They may also want to preserve a particular stance of trees in a development area. Ken Redfoot continued with the PowerPoint presentation and said the graphic description on the first slide is not meant to be a design but only to show what Mr. Walden had described in words. It's a building, associated parking, landscaping, roadway connections, actual storm water facilities including utility connections and utility corridors. All those could happen within the development area. Mr. Redfoot described the two options in which there are similarities. One is the use of the dedicated right of way. That access point allows for a second means of entrance and egress from the properties which they feel is a strong necessity as they redevelop and it increases the square footage on the site. Mr. Redfoot said in working on and receiving comprehensive input from Staff, they learned the road that presently has a main entrance on Homestead coming onto the site is curvy and has led to some difficulty in access for buses and vehicles and some safety concerns. In Option A (on slide), they tried to minimize what they are doing over the entire site but make important safety moves as in straightening out the road. This would allow the entrance to come in a straight angle all the way to the parking lot at the Southern Human Services building. It also clarifies the road connections so they can start looking at where they can develop new building square footage, parking, etc.. Mr. Redfoot pointed out this was the tan area on the map. He also pointed out a cross connection where they were proposing to tie the new road into the road in the dedicated right of way. This area is approximately 135,000 square feet on one side of the road and in the second area shown approximately 85,000 square feet for a total of approximately 220,000 square feet of development area on Option A.
