~`,~--~ SITE EVALUATION <br />M1CrsYw~ <br />AIM <br />Site 1 <br />Sire 1 consis[s of apyroximately 25,000 square feet, or just over one-half acre, located at the southwest intersection of Means Avenue <br />and Church Street, currently occupied by the Sheriffs Department parking lot. The entire lice is paved, with minimal vegetation and no <br />significant topographical features. The most substantial built feature of the site is the Sheriff s Department communication tower, <br />located ro the rear of cbe historic courthouse. Vehicle amens is currently available from Means Avenue, along the northern edge of the <br />site. Although the projected jail/law enforcement space needs could be accommodated in a high rise building nn the site and although <br />this location has Ixen commonly perceived us the logical place for expansion of the cuaent jail, is presents a number of serious long- <br />term concerns for both law enforcement and courts. <br />As shown in Figure 2, the required 265,000 square foot law enforcement and jail facility could be accommodated on the site iu a high <br />rise building. This option was discussed in the February 2002 Sire Analysis document It is assumed in this study chat no reuse of the <br />existing jail will be made, ocher than for temporary court holding or storage; all support functions, housing, administrative offices, <br />mechanical systems, and intake, will be part of a new facility and will be completely separate from any existing space. <br />Site 1 <br />/\ <br />/Ga ~S~ ~ /~>~ j~ ti~ <br />~,. j~ ,- ~ ~ ,: ~ _iti <br />`~ r '" <br />\ • ~ ~ <br />~ V ~a• <br />/ • ~ <br />~ y ~~ / _ • ~. ~ 'ism ~.. ~~ ~~ ~ ~. ~, ~ i. <br />~ _ -- <br />(r7~~ ~~1~ ~ y ~~s ~~ ~'"`y y~ ~li r a <br />~4 s'm~ ~ ~ ~ ma ~ 261 li0b's _ <br />C5`~~ 6 tL _ ~Y'~ ~ i_ <br />,` ~~\ \/ <br />2 <br />e <br />9~ ~ s, /~ a~ ~ ~J/ ~ -' ----`. <br />Existing a ,~ <br />~~o v~! ~~Courthouse_~~;~GojO ~ ~ ~ <br />~,~ y » <br />~~~ ~/aoj; O f%~ ' ~ <br />.. ~' ~~ <br />~ `. <br />~~ lC" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ j <br />•~ `s. <br />~ ~ ,J <br />~, i / <br />Yi <br />i; <br />i <br />figure 2 <br />April 200# 5 Y 1 V~ <br />G~~ <br />
