r— BOOK 103 FAGE 697 building adjacent to a drive that links 18"' Avenue north 27"' Street to 180 street south of 26'° street. A public plaza with reflecting pool and fountain is proposed at the intersection of the two main building volumes to establish an appropriate scale and character for the main public building in Indian River County. Public parking will occur west of the new building in surface lots. Employee parking will occur west of the public parking and north of 27' Street in surface lots. The north lot will also provide parking and access for the warehouse facility sited directly north of the proposed administration building. Employee entrance to the administration building will occur from the north through the same lobby used by the public coming from the south. Even though it is only a good guess at this time, the planning team felt it was appropriate to show where, when and how much future expansion space will be required beyond the year 2010. Shown as Phase II in this report is an administrative addition of 40,000 SF (two stories) west of the Phase I Building. When this addition is built beyond 2010, its square footage will require an additional 120 parking spaces. Also, sixty-five cars displaced by the new construction, must be replaced. The total of 185 spaces will be built in the northern surface lot as shown in the Phase II site plan. Parking Calculations Phase I Proposed Phase I Administration Building. -163,980 GSF @ 3 spaces/1000 SF = 492 spaces required. Proposed Purchasing/Buildings and Grounds/Probation Building -27,985 GSF @ 3 spaces/1000 SF = 84 spaces required. Total Parking Required 576 spaces Total Parking Provided 576 spaces Phase II Phase I Administration Bldg. 163,980 GSF = 492 space required. Phase If Administration Bldg. 40,000 GSF = 120 spaces required. Purchasing/Buildings and Grounds/Probation Building = 84 spaces required. Total Parking Required - 696 spaces. Total Parking Provided — 696 spaces Prior to completing this master planning task, Indian River County asked the planning team to evaluate the vacant Vero Mall to ascertain whether or not it could be utilized as the County Administrative Facility. The planning team believes the vacant mall is inappropriate for conversion to the County Administrative Facility. That study is included as Appendix A with this report. MARCH 16, 1999 _g2_
