Options to address Existing Fire Station Avoid current fire station with new Public Safety complex - Results in compromised solution for new facility (poor traffic circulation; limits visibility & awareness of public safety services) - No identified use for existing building; high cost to renovate for other uses in order to meet building code Incorporate current fire station in new complex - Building is not appropriately sized for FD apparatus (best use when considering emergency response circulation) - Extremely costly to re-construct as an “essential facility” Relocate existing fire station building to new location - Costly; no identified town need for reuse - Potential to offer the building for public purchase and relocation? Raze Building - Incorporate historical masonry detailing on new facility? Town of Southampton Public Safety Feasibility Study
