This would be an extension to the rear of the existing <br /> building, with 7,500 square feet on the same level as the existing facility, and another 7,500 <br /> square feet as a lower level. <br /> Included in Phase 1, along with the building addition, would be a reconfiguration and <br /> addition to the existing parking lot (retaining as many existing parking spaces as possible for <br /> reasons of efficiency and cost), construction of the new second access into the site, <br /> bicycle/pedestrian improvements along Homestead Road, and reservation of a Veterans <br /> Memorial site. <br /> Phase 2 would include more extensive work on the site. Phase two would involve (1) <br /> An additional expansion of the Southern Human Services Building, with associated additional <br /> parking and circulation roads; (2) Expansion of the Seymour Center, with associated additional <br /> parking and drop-off areas; (3) Reconfiguration of the existing entrance drive (using the Phase <br /> 1 newly constructed secondary entrance road for all access while the main entrance is being <br /> rebuilt); and (4) Reconstruction of the stormwater management ponds, designed to become an <br /> amenity for the site. <br /> Phase 3 is the most conceptual, due in part to its being 10-15 years out. All <br /> infrastructure improvements and elements required as conditions of the Special Use Permit <br /> approval would very likely be completed by the end of Phase 2 of this implementation plan. <br /> Phase 3 becomes, in some ways, a placeholder for future needs. Phase 1 would likely add <br /> 15,000 square feet of floor area (addition to Southern Human Services Center). Phase 2 would <br /> likely add approximately 46,500 square feet (16,500 square foot addition to the Seymour <br /> Center, and a second addition of 15,000 square feet to the Southern Human Services Center). <br /> That leaves approximately 250,000 square feet of additional new building capacity that can be <br /> built as needs and circumstances require in the future. The following sketch shows the three <br /> locations on the site where additional buildings and parking could be located, as approved in <br /> the Master Plan and authorized with the Special Use Permit: <br />
