LOCATION AND BUILDING ANALYSIS

GROWTH OF SMALL CARE UNITS

In the last five years, there has been a push to small group homes for many causes. Some of these include criminal releasee programs, mentally retarded, detention centers, general health care, and treatment centers outside of hospitals.

The following study by L. W. Hensrud Consulting Service indicates that there is a potential for a treatment center in the subject buildings. The campus setting, and general slow moving area, would appear to support this theory. However, several points are made as the buildings relate to other above mentioned uses:

1. The multistory nature of the buildings would restrict potential health care to non-mobile persons.

2. Conversion costs of the subject buildings are generally high. However, the buildings are structurally sound, and somewhat flexible.

The conclusion is that the potential use of the buildings is very adequate. The cost to convert to not appear prohibitive.

Site Description

The land has access from three of four sides. The Locust Street South access is utilized most frequently as a small concrete drive which extends to Sycamore Street that allows automobiles to park conveniently on the street and leave the campus via this private drive.

Access to the east is also gained by this private road off Sycamore Street. Access to the north is via a sidewalk and large open area which could be converted to parking lot.

Building to land ratio is approximately 25%, which is good. An adequate sidewalk system allows persons access to all buildings. The sidewalks are in need of moderate repair, and laid out in such a manner that they add to the beauty of the campus.

The land is sloping with excellent water runoff. Approximately 100 varieties of mature trees can be found on the very scenic campus.

A tennis court is located on the grounds, as is a full-sized football field located behind the gymnasium.

Although parking is currently adequate as the property is being under-utilized, a full fledged operation of the proposed use would require additional parking area.

Building Descriptions

The following building descriptions are adequate for the purpose or this report as the final use of the bulk of the property has not been determined. Note that building #7 which has been remodeled includes a before and after conversion description of the improvements.

THE FACILITY - IDEAL LOCATION
