20 <br /> 1 <br /> 2 Mike Hammersley, from Corley Redfoot Architects, reviewed the following information from the <br /> 3 Implementation Report, including several graphics: <br /> 4 The first phase of implementation should include a 15,000 square foot expansion of the <br /> 5 Southern Human Services building. This would be an extension to the rear of the existing <br /> 6 building, with 7,500 square feet on the same level as the existing facility, and another 7,500 <br /> 7 square feet as a lower level. <br /> 8 Included in Phase 1, along with the building addition, would be a reconfiguration and <br /> 9 addition to the existing parking lot (retaining as many existing parking spaces as possible for <br /> 10 reasons of efficiency and cost), construction of the new second access into the site, <br /> 11 bicycle/pedestrian improvements along Homestead Road, and reservation of a Veterans <br /> 12 Memorial site. <br /> 13 Phase 2 would include more extensive work on the site. Phase two would involve (1) An <br /> 14 additional expansion of the Southern Human Services Building, with associated additional <br /> 15 parking and circulation roads; (2) Expansion of the Seymour Center, with associated additional <br /> 16 parking and drop-off areas; (3) Reconfiguration of the existing entrance drive (using the Phase <br /> 17 1 newly constructed secondary entrance road for all access while the main entrance is being <br /> 18 rebuilt); and (4) Reconstruction of the stormwater management ponds, designed to become an <br /> 19 amenity for the site. <br /> 20 Phase 3 is the most conceptual, due in part to its being 10-15 years out. All <br /> 21 infrastructure improvements and elements required as conditions of the Special Use Permit <br /> 22 approval would very likely be completed by the end of Phase 2 of this implementation plan. <br /> 23 Phase 3 becomes, in some ways, a placeholder for future needs. Phase 1 would likely add <br /> 24 15,000 square feet of floor area (addition to Southern Human Services Center). Phase 2 would <br /> 25 likely add approximately 46,500 square feet (16,500 square foot addition to the Seymour <br /> 26 Center, and a second addition of 15,000 square feet to the Southern Human Services Center). <br /> 27 That leaves approximately 250,000 square feet of additional new building capacity that can be <br /> 28 built as needs and circumstances require in the future. The following sketch shows the three <br /> 29 locations on the site where additional buildings and parking could be located, as approved in <br /> 30 the Master Plan and authorized with the Special Use Permit: <br /> 31 Following are initial preliminary cost estimates, in current dollars, with contingencies <br /> 32 added, for funding needed to accomplish the first two phases of implementation, as described <br /> 33 in this Implementation Report. <br /> 34 Phase 1: Two-story building addition to Southern Human Services Building, with related <br /> 35 parking and internal road changes, and construction of new, second access into the site (as <br /> 36 illustrated on page 11). <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Building Addition to SHS - 15,000 sf <br /> 39 With Related Site Work, Parking $6,000,000 to $6,625,000 <br /> 40 <br /> 41 Infrastructure Costs, Including New Road $1,800,000 to $1,980,000 <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Total Phase 1 $7,800,000 to $8,605,000 <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Phase 2: Additional 2-story expansion of the Southern Human Services Building, 2-story <br /> 46 expansion of the Seymour Center, reconfiguration of the existing entrance drive, and <br /> 47 reconstruction of the stormwater management ponds (as illustrated on page 12). <br /> 48 <br /> 49 2nd Building Addition to SHS - 15,000 sf <br /> 50 With Additional Site Work, Parking $6,000,000 to $6,625,000 <br />
