484i E. SUMMARY 1. Based on the general factors considered (terrain, available utilities, access, disposition of existing buildings, and available land area, together with applicable zoning restrictiOns), the Northside Property is suitable for development of up to 62,000 sq. ft of new floor area of office-type space if housed La two story buildings (only 50,000 sq. ft if in one story structures). This would require the provision of 207 additional parking spaces, (167 for one story scheme). Estimate costs for such ultimate development would be $3,100,000. for buildings, $175,950. for parking, or a rough total of $3.3 million. 2. One existing building, OPC Clinic - 14,000 sq. ft, was recently restored to "like new" condition. Two other buildings, Multipurpose Center - 10,200 sq. ft, and Cafeteria Building - 2660 sq. ft, are in need of considerable repairs and upgrading. In their present state, they de- preciate the investment by the County in the OPC Mental Health Center. 3. Minimum investment for upgrading the two buildings to meet N.C. Code requirements would probably mean an expenditure of $130,000.- $78,000. for M/P Center, $52,000. for cafeteria space. Required parking has already been provided. Remodeling these buildings to meet expected program needs and upgrading them to "like new" condition requires tentative costs of $280,000. for M/P Center and $80,000. for Cafeteria (OPC Day Hospital) or a total estimated cost of $360,000.00. Estimated costs for equal amount of new floor space (12,860 sq. ft) at $45.00/sf would be $580,000.00. 4. Provision of required parking spaces will be a significant factor in any decisions to construct new buildings or large additions. Large parking areas can create problems for visitors when employees, staff occupy spaces close to buildings. An employee-staff parking area should be set aside, preferably as a separate area. One area which seems feasible for this purpose is the undeveloped sec- tion below and to the west of OPC Mental Health Center. Between 80 and 90 long-term parking spaces could be accommodated there. 5. Future Considerations The scope of this study has been limited and general by necessity. More detailed evaluations will be essential before specific decisions can be made or before accurate recommendations can be proposed. Future studies should consider at least the following points and would require the following additional information: p.11 of 12 p.
