r <br />DEC <br />1987 <br />BOOK 10 <br />1 <br />P,aH 379 <br />came up with <br />space recommendations for both libraries. <br />For the <br />Vero Beach library, they are recommending gross space of 39,415 <br />square feet for a 2 -story structure. The first floor will have a <br />footprint of 24,360 sq. ft. and the second floor will have 15,055 <br />sq. ft., which includes some space for expansion. The consultant <br />came up with 17,225 sq. ft. for the Sebastian library. <br />The Public Library Advisory Board looked at those figures <br />and kind of backed down the funding available, etc, and felt that <br />we can build the shell for the Vero Beach library knowing that we <br />will not be completely furnishing the inside because we won't be <br />ready for it. Unless the Board has a real objection, <br />Commissioner Eggert advised that the consultant will proceed with <br />his final draft. <br />Commissioner Wheeler still wanted us to explore a facility <br />with first floor parking and wished to see the costs for that <br />compared to land acquisition costs for additional parking. <br />Commissioner Eggert noted that first floor parking had been <br />discussed and rejected during the last public hearing. It is a <br />matter of being able to afford it, because funds would have to <br />come from elsewhere. <br />Chairman Scurlock wondered if we could use any <br />transportation funds for parking. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked if the Board had any conceptual <br />problems with a reinforced, 2 -story building and the <br />Commissioners indicated that they had none. <br />SOUTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT <br />The Chairman announced that immediately upon adjournment, <br />there would be a meeting of the South County Fire District. <br />Those Minutes are being prepared separately. <br />44 <br />
