2 <br />The following joined Commissioners Barry Jacobs and Renee Price as members of the <br />Resident Advisory Work Group: <br />Melinda Bradsher <br />Luther Brooks <br />Sue Florence <br />Jacqueline McConnell -Graf <br />Nancy Graves <br />Malcolm Hester <br />Sucovis Hester <br />Vivian Herndon Latta <br />Sheila Vanhook McDonald <br />David Ogburn <br />Clifford Rogers <br />Roger Traynham <br />Brenda Vanhook <br />Hattie Vanhook <br />Cumilla White <br />Staff and the designer provided additional information and responses to Board questions and <br />concerns during the March 11, 2014 work session. The feedback from the Board during these <br />two work sessions are reflected in two options for the Board's consideration: <br />Base Plan: Approximately 13,600 usable square foot community center, deconstructed <br />classroom wings, park & ride lot with bus shelter, including the additional 720 square <br />foot class rooms space as discussed during the March 11, 2014 work session (see <br />Attachment 1, "Base Plan "). <br />Alternate Plan: Base Plan plus the "mothball" renovation option for the classroom wings <br />for potential future use as well as interior wing renovations for County department or <br />County tenant storage (see Attachment 2, "Alternate Plan "). <br />The preliminary cost estimate comparison of both plans is reflected in the Attachment 3. <br />The Board may recall asking for more information with regard to immediate storage within the <br />classroom wings should the Alternate Plan be selected to move forward with in design. The <br />County has an immediate need for recycling roll cart storage and additional conditioned records <br />storage space. A County tenant, the Piedmont Food and Agricultural Processing Center <br />( "PFAP "), located at 300 Valley Forge Road in Hillsborough, is requesting additional dry storage <br />to accommodate its growth and program success. Attachment 4, "Alternate Plan Storage <br />Illustrative ", illustrates these potential needs and the storage spaces that could accommodate <br />the needs. <br />Steve Brantley, Director of Orange County Economic Development, will present the possible <br />economic development impacts of such a use for PFAP and Orange County. Should the PFAP <br />storage spaces be approved by the Board in concept, staff will work with PFAP on a rental use <br />and rate structure to be presented to the Board at a point in the future. <br />Should the Board approve moving forward with the Base Plan for this project, the general <br />development timeline would be as follows: <br />TASK <br />PROPOSED <br />BEGINNING <br />DATE <br />END BY <br />DATE <br />BOCC Action: Approval of either Cedar Grove Base Plan or <br />Alternate Plan <br />5/8/14 <br />5/8/14 <br />BOCC Action: Final approval of bid documents prior to bid <br />9/16/14 <br />9/16/14 <br />Project final design, bid document preparation <br />9/17/14 <br />10/10/14 <br />Project Bid process <br />10/10/14 <br />11/13/15 <br />BOCC Action: Bid Award <br />12/9/14 <br />12/9/14 <br />Construction, Commissioning, Opening (est. 8 months duration) <br />1/15/15 <br />8/30/15 <br />
