Mr. Halback advised that this goes back to the footprint of <br />the judicial complex originally proposed on the land behind, <br />utilizing county -owned property for surface parking. However, it <br />comes over to Block 45; buys approximately 2/5 of the block and <br />puts back a parking garage of 4 levels. The reason they only <br />went up 4 levels is that they were trying to find the optimum <br />break where the parking garage and the land costs for the project <br />begin to balance out. By going to a parking garage, you don't <br />have to buy several parcels that were required in the original <br />proposal; so, you are buying less land and disrupting fewer <br />people. The cost for this concept, again using Mr. Flick's land <br />costs, is estimated at 17.785 million. For this you get a whole <br />new Courthouse with furnishings, landscaping, etc., the surface <br />lots on property you already own, and the 4 level parking garage. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if this plan eliminates the present <br />Courthouse entirely and the Annex, and this was confirmed. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked how many people this would <br />dislocate, and Mr. Halback believed 9/10 buildings. <br />In review, Mr. Halback noted that for the Base Plan which <br />calls for the building on Block 36, land banking other properties <br />and using that land bank property as surface lots and meeting the <br />City parking requirements, the cost was 17.8 million. To go to <br />Block 44 where you are locating the building and vacating 15th <br />Avenue but going up with more parking garage; although the land <br />costs are slightly less, the cost of the project goes up because <br />of the garage to either 18.9 in Option A or 19.8 million in <br />Option B. The 4th scenario is where they tried to find what was <br />the optimum level of where the garage begins to make sense. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if that option takes out the <br />block behind the present'Courthouse where Attorney Jackson's and <br />Attorney Clems' offices are located and was informed that it <br />takes out their buildings and several others. <br />Commissioner Bird assumed Mr. Halback has broken down the <br />difference between land acquisitions costs and actual hard <br />�JUL 101990 <br />
