such time the building plans are formulated by architects. Access roadways to parking areas and bus loops to each of the future facilities would be developed by the architects as well. In November 1998, the County Commissioners endorsed the building footprint in the southwestern corner of the Southern Human Services Center Site as the Senior Center location (site #1 on map #1; site D on the conservation map). The Board will note that the proximity of the Institute on Aging's proposed development an the adjacent Horace Williams property was a significant factor in the designation of this site for the Senior Center. The current plans for the property, now called Carolina North, do not include such development by the Institute on Aging. In order to assess compliance with the County's own conservation goals with regard to development impact, the ERCD was requested to provide a preliminary evaluation of the site as well. The attached document and map have been revised from the version presented in the .lanuary 2004 Board retreat materials to more specifically correlate to the possible building sites identified on the Southern Human Services Center Master Plan and to point out the advantages and challenges of each. As a reminder, no plans have been cited far the building footprints on this site, with the exception of possible future justice facilities, tentatively suggested far Site A on the conservation map and expansion of the Southern Human Services Center, which would occur to the east end of the existing building, site E on the conservation map. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None at this time. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the preferred footprint on the Southern Human Services Center site upon which the Southern Orange Senior Center will be located.
