REPORT MAKES PROPOSALS FOR EXPANSION OF SEMINOLE COUNTY COURTHOUSE AS A STEP TOWARD ENLARGING FACILITIES NECESSARY FOR HANDLING AN INCREASING COURT CASELOAD.

Abstract

FOUR SHORT-TERM SOLUTIONS TO THE SPACE PROBLEM WERE EVALUATED IN THIS STUDY. THE ALTERNATIVE SELECTED AS THE BEST SOLUTION INVOLVES THE ADDITION OF A THIRD FLOOR TO THE SOUTH WING OF THE COURTHOUSE AND SUBSEQUENT REORGANIZATION OF SPACE WITHIN THE COURTHOUSE. ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION FOR A SMALL BRANCH COURT FACILITY IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY IS ALSO DISCUSSED BRIEFLY. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LONG-TERM COURT PLANNING ARE INCLUDED FOR THIS COUNTY THAT GREW IN POPULATION BY 75 PERCENT FROM 1970 TO 1975....BS
