Preliminary planning indicatesthatthe custom-designedfacilitywill comprise <br />approximately 15,000 square feet, in order to accommodate out-of-custody arraignment <br />proceedings, court administrative business, and other public functions conducted by the <br />Second Judicial District Court. With attendant parking for 100 to 125 vehicles, the total size <br />of a potential site is in the range of 1.5 to 2 acres. <br />The County Board is currently soliciting interestfrom the County's suburban communitiesto <br />locate this new facility within their municipality. Criteria to guide the selection of an <br />appropriate site include the following: <br />� Site must be easily accessible from existing public transportation network; <br />� Site must be properly zoned or able to receive a conditional use permit; <br />� Site's adjacent land uses are compatible with a court facility; <br />3 Site must be cleared of any previous structures, including foundations; <br />� Site soils must be adequate to support the proposed construction; <br />3 The host community will provide a survey of the site; and <br />'r The host community will provide the site at no cost to Ramsey County. <br />The site search phase of the new Suburban Court Facility Project calls for County staff to <br />report back to the County Board by mid-March on the availability and comparative quality of <br />sites offered by local communities. The overall project schedule calls for construction to <br />begin in August 2004. <br />Excellence � Respect � Diversity <br />PrintCd on recycled �iaper n'ith a minimunz of 10%post-consumer ci'rotcnt <br />� <br />
