PROPOSED VILLAGE CIVIC CENTER MASTER PLANS A. Components of the Village Civic Center The following is a breakdown of the elements that comprise the Village Civic Center as defined in the Civic Design Charrette and in post Charrette work sessions: • Community Center: This facility is envisioned to be a 20,000 square foot multi- functional building containing an indoor gymnasium with basketball courts, racquet ball or squash courts, meeting and class rooms, a weight room, restrooms with lockers, a reception area and administrative offices. • Fire Station: This stand alone 15,710 square foot facility is being designed as a four bay drive through apparatus room, with living and support facilities for 12 on -duty fire personnel. • Police Station and Emergency Services Facility: This facility is comprised of approximately 15,000 square feet and will house the entire police department. Fire administrative offices (2000 square feet) shall be located in this structure. • Village Administrative Offices: This facility is envisioned to be approximately 10,000 square feet and will house the Village Manager's Office, Village Clerk's Office, the Finance and Administrative Offices, the Building, Zoning and Planning Department, and Public Works. • Village Hall: The facility will be used as Council Chambers, a Community Theater, and a public meeting room. This facility should be designed to hold at a minimum, 150 people. • Village Green Entrance Pavilion: This will facilitate the drop-off and pick-up at the Community Center and serve to connect the Village Civic Center with the Village Green. CIVIC CENTER WORKSHOP Armi.6,1999 (PROPOSED VILLAGE CIVIC CENTER MASTER PLANS, CONTINUED) B. Site Plans 1. Charrette Site Plan - Presented January 1998 • Positives: 1. "Village Hall", serving as Council Chambers, Community Theater, and the main public space of the Village Center is created. Its location terminates W. Mc Intyre Street from both the commercial and residential sides of the island and converts W. McIntyre Street from the main "escape route" to the main civic street of the community. 2. A Municipal parking structure housing over 220 cars with a 15,000 square foot liner building will occupy the southeast Rebozo property. The programming of this facility is intended to house administrative offices, retail and relocating civic functions such as the post office. • Negatives: 1. The initial design of the police department's split level "gateway" building is unfeasible for the purpose of a police operations facility. 2. The current fire and police trailer would have to be torn down, disrupting emergency service and resulting in temporary relocation costs. The cost associated with temporarily relocating the police and fire departments has been identified upwards of $500,000. 2. The integration of municipal and federal functions resulting from a public/ private joint venture could be difficult from a logistical point of view.

Site Plan in Response to Resolution 98-21 This plan is a modification of the plan presented in September 1998. In this plan the location of the fire and police buildings have been switched, due to relocation cost associated with temporarily housing fire personnel and fire apparatus. • Positives: 1. In this plan the Fire Station facility is sited in the southeast corner of W. McIntyre Street and Fernwood Road. This location will allow for construction to proceed without interruption of Fire Rescue services. The existing apparatus and dormitory building will remain intact during construction, thus avoiding relocation costs. 2. "Village Hall" serving as Council Chambers, Community Theater, and the main public space of the Village Center is created. Its location terminates W. Mc Intyre Street from both the commercial and residential sides of the island and converts W. McIntyre Street from the main "escape route" to the main civic street of the community. 3. This plan offers more variety and expansion for the Community Center than was originally planned during the Charrette. The revised plan will allow more space for outdoor recreational facilities abutting the Community Center. 4. A Municipal parking structure housing over 220 bars with a 15,000 square foot liner building will occupy the southeast Rebozo property. The programming of this facility is intended to house administrative offices, retail and relocating civic functions such as the post office. • Negatives: 1. The integration of municipal and federal functions resulting from a public/ private joint venture could be difficult from a logistical point of view. 2. The trailer housing fire and police administration would have to be relocated during construction. The location of the police building would require removal of the existing apparatus room. (Estimated value $350,000). 3. The Police Station property is currently owned by Miami Dade County, and leased (30 year lease) by the Village. 4. Police Station construction can not begin until Fire Station is completed. 5. Total inconvenience and hindrance to operation of Police Department. CIVIC CENTER WORKSHOP API u..6,1999, (PROPOSED VILLAGE CIVIC CENTER MASTER PLANS, CONTINUED) 3. Alternate Site Plan "A" • Positives: 1. Village departments have been combined for a sort of "one -stop shopping" for Village residents. The fire and police administrative offices, Village administrative offices and a smaller Council Chambers are integrated in a facility located on • the Southeast corner of the Rebozo property. 2. The Village Hall/Community Theatre has been moved to the same site as the Community Center. This will facilitate the inter- relationship between the two facilities. 3. This plan allows future parking structure expansion. as well as continued use of existing apparatus room as deemed necessary. 4. There are no relocation costs and no interruption of emergency services. • Negatives: 1. The ceremonial Village Hall as envisioned in the Charrette is not present; thus eliminating the main focal point of the civic center and its positive effects on converting W. McIntyre Street into a more pedestrian friendly, low speed street. ,4a..r ail, _ IJI1JI i i,=7_7 MI hi ,__- !;iiiJllIJiIIII III 1 111 II B 71: 1�� ;.•,♦:-�:_.:� j �' _ _,,►"r �'Y�s fir. �� ,lj�. . 41111-10/rAP CIVIC CENTER WORKSHOP APRIL 6,1999 (PROPOSED VILLAGE CIVIC CENTER MASTER PLANS, CONTINUED) 5. Alternative Site Plan "C" This plan has the Village Administration, Village Council Chambers/ Community Theater integrated with the Fire Rescue and Police Administration Facilities in one large building. In addition, there is a parking garage with a liner building adjacent to the Community Center. Lawn entrance feature at the intersection of Crandon Boulevard and West McIntyre Street. • Positives: 1. Village Administration and Community Theater are combined and affront Crandon Boulevard for high visibility and easy access. 2. The present Fire Rescue Apparatus Room would remain in situ for an extended period of time, providing for useful storage and a savings of ($100,000). 3. Police and Fire Rescue activities would be uninterrupted through out the construction and development of the Civic Center. • Negatives: 1. Location of a parking structure and/or parking lot on a main Civic Center street. 2. Parking deficit until the existing SunTrust Building is removed. 3. Multi -functional building containing Police/Fire Administration, Village Administration, and Village Hall/ Community Theater does. not allow incremental (phased) completion of the Civic Center. 11101111.1111.0.4) 1111"Rairir.irlyZ72Wilkte. o111111tI,11� =� 68411 Als N �)$"IIflflhJI/ffIIILP
