This narrative description highlights and supplements the above mentioned model Our proposal contemplates a prime 20th Street (Route 60) location just south of the existing courthouse and State's Attorney's Office. The new Center will have primary exposure on 20th Street. Its main entrance will align with an expansive courtyard. This secondary entrance and plaza align and orient with the recently renovated State's Attorney's Office. We intend to exceed the landscaping and streetscaping requirements of Vero Beach in order to create a people -friendly atmosphere. The Center contains 125,000 square feet on four floors and incorporates a modern window - wall exterior. An atrium, highly visible from both 20th and 21st Streets, will provide substantially identical- access points for either pedestrian or vehicular traffic. The courtyard incorporates the intelligent use of fountains and landscaping to create an attractive people oriented environment. The parking structure contains 450 spaces on four levels. It is located on a site just West of the proposed Judicial Center with vehicular access from the Center's courtyard, off 16th Avenue, off 17th Avenue, and pedestrian access off 21st Street. The total potential parking capability associated with our proposal is 732 spaces. The recessed location of the parking structure is intended to maximize utility and aesthetic appeal. 15 Door 80 Pr l�[ 3119 i{ JUN 13 1990' J
