This first building, one of three or four major office facilities to be located there eventually in a campus -type setting, will provide 25,000 to 30,000 SF of first-class office space on three floors with an elevator. Most of the area on the top two floors ofthe building is taken by prospective tenants at this time. The first floor, however, approucimately 10,000 to 12,000 SF, is neither committed nor specifically designed yet for any particular tenant or group of tenants. The purpose of this brief presentation here today then, is to formally Qat before the County Board of Co mnissioners the outline of our proposal to provide office space for a North Indian River County Administrative Annex an the ground floor of the building. • As you know, we have discussed this matter at length with all of the Commissioners and Constitutional officers during recent weeks and have been encouraged by a positive response and indication of serious interest in our proposal by virtually all of those we have contacted. . Specifically, we propose to custom -design and lease to the County a sufficient amount of office space in our new building to fulfill the County's needs for a North County Administrative Annex and, further, to provide an adequate amount of additional space for any future expansion of County facilities at the same location. . We think our proposal makes good sense. I.e.: 1) Mere is a need for a North County Administrative Annex in the Sebastian Area; 2) It makes good administrative and economic sense to put the functions of the various County Officers involved at the same location; and 3) We are prepared to provide the County with a well- designed, efficient, and cost-effective: solution, to the situation. If, at the close of our presentation here today, the Board of C,m missioners formally expresses a clear interest in pursuing our thus -far general proposal, we will undertake, at our own expense and in conjunction with County staff, further detailed study of the County's specific needs for a North County Annex and cam back to the Board of Conmissicners on or about September 20 with a detailed proposal to provide such a facility with space, equipment, and teams to fit County specifications. As time is of the essence for us in this endeavor, we ask only that the Board of Commissioners speak clearly to us at some time prior to October 1 of this year regarding whether they have serious interest in our proposal. I will now turn the presentation over to John Dean, our Project Architect, who will explain further details about our site and building design. This total presentation is designed to take no more than 10 minutes on our part. We will, however, be glad to remain longer to answer any questions you may have. 198® 45 ROCK 73 54
