PUBLIC BEARING YES: NO :XX- <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: PAM JONES <br />EXT 2650 <br />FLOOR PLAN Telephone Number - <br />Hillsborough - 732 -8181 <br />Chapel Hill - 967 -9251 <br />Mebane - 227 -2031 <br />Durham -688 -7331 <br />PURPOSE: To consider leasing space at the Galleria, with the intent to <br />establish a satellite Senior Center. <br />BACKGROUND: Based on recommendations from the Task Force on Southern <br />Orange Senior Center Space, the County has investigated property in <br />Chapel Hill which would be appropriate for the Senior Center function. <br />The most appropriate space identified is located at The Galleria, <br />400 South Elliott Road, Chapel Hill. <br />The space is currently an open area consisting of 9,040 square feet on <br />the main floor and 2,200 square feet on a mezzanine area. A floor plan <br />of the area is attached. <br />While the mezzanine area could provide good administrative space, its <br />utilization as programming space is somewhat limited due to the access. <br />The Task Force Report indicates that a minimum of 6,000 square feet of <br />programming space is needed. With that in mind, the County has <br />negotiated with the Landlord on that basis. The Landlord has agreed to <br />sub- divide the space along the "pole line" (see floor plan for <br />definition), which would yield 6,102 square feet on the main floor. <br />The mezzanine area would add another 1,485 square feet. Due to the <br />configuration of the interior space, it appears impractical to separate <br />the mezzanine space from the main floor space. <br />
