Project Development Phases <br />The commencement of project construction or renovation, as may be the case in some <br />of the interim measures suggested, has been segmented into five-year development <br />increments beginning in 2005 and categorized as Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 3 projects. <br />Therefore: <br />® Tier 1 projects would begin construction during the period 2005-2010; <br />® Tier 2 projects would begin construction between 2011 and 2015; and <br />® Tier 3 projects would begin construction between 2016 and 2020. <br />Additionally, each Tier has been subdivided into 2 1/2 year increments so that projects <br />may be categorized to more accurately reflect the priority of the project. For example, a <br />project that is Tier 1A would begin construction during the period 2005 through mid <br />2008 and a project designated as Tier 313 would begin construction during the period <br />beginning mid 2018 through 2020. <br />Many of the projects listed will require a pre-construction period of up to two years. <br />During this period, designers would be selected, planning groups consulted, regulatory <br />approvals obtained, bids solicited, etc. in preparation for the construction to begin during <br />the specified project development phase. Funding in the Capital Improvements Plan is <br />likely to reflect planning/design money two years prior to the construction period <br />specified. <br />M � <br />Land Services—Tier 1A <br />A new building at the campus is proposed for "Land Services Departments". The <br />building would ultimately house all land services departments including: Planning and <br />Inspections, Health Department's Environmental Health, Land Records, Register of <br />Deeds, County Engineer, Revenue Department and the Tax Assessor. The county <br />could choose to construct it in ' phases, with priority being given to the Planning and <br />Health Department's Environmental Health functions. <br />Update: The Land Services Departments cited above are recommended for <br />inclusion in the recently approved expanded county campus buildings. There are <br />two office facilities included in the expanded campus, the Gateway Center and <br />the Office Building. The breakdown of potential resident departments for each, <br />as well as potential options to backfilling the space being vacated is listed below. <br />VI <br />
