* 11 B. EXPANSION OF SEYMOUR CENTER Orange County's plans anticipate expansion of the existing Seymour Center facility. There are several options for how a major building addition could be accomplished. The most efficient and effective addition would be placed at an existing juncture in the existing building, and extend out to the west. This building addition would be accompanied by a realignment of the main entrance road into the site, and repair /reconstruction of existing stormwater management ponds. Following is an illustration of how this addition might be placed on the site: ❑ Existing Building ❑ Existing Pavement ❑ New Building Addition ❑ New Pavement Addition In addition, review and examination of the existing Seymour Center building as part of the work on this Implementation Report identified a number of small /minor changes that could be considered that would add capacity to the facility at modest cost. There remains a long -term need for a major building expansion here to accommodate growing demand for services to older adults, especially in light of the changing demographic profiles of our communities. A recommendation of this report is that consideration be given to pursuing these smaller adjustments soon, with construction of a major building addition planned further out (as described below in the phasing discussion). C. SITE FOR VETERANS MEMORIAL A recent proposal for use of a portion of this site was brought to the Board of County Commissioners on May 5, 2015: construction of a proposed Veterans Memorial. Over the past several years, interested Orange County residents and others in support of honoring the contributions and service of Orange County military veterans have organized in an effort to raise funds to construct a Veterans Memorial within Orange County. Attention turned to the County's Homestead Road tract in the spring of 2015, Southern Orange County Government Services Campus I Implementation Report Page 7
