Adair Justice Center moves into Pre-Design, Acquisition Phase Adair Justice clears environmental concerns; project moves ahead with acquisition and design; Renaissance Columbia to be involved; text of Renaissance Columbia letter; projected breakdown of space released By Ed Waggener ed@columbiamagazine.com Bob Prewitt, environmental assessor for DLZ, Frankfort, for the new Adair Justice Center, gave a green light on the project as far as major environmental concerns might exist. Mr. Prewitt made the presentation to the Adair County Project Development at their regular January meeting at 5 p.m., Tuesday, January 24, 2006. The chosen site is located between Campbellsville Street, Merchant Street, Monroe Street and the Columbia Cemetery. Two primary concerns were the underground storage tanks at the old Standard Oil Station which now houses Adair Muffler, and at an off-site property diagonally across across the Reed/Merchant Street intersection with Campbellsville ST, where the Columbia City Hall is now located. The present City Hall entrance is located where a Shell Station once operated. Prewitt said that should not present appreciable risks, if at all, to the Justice Center. Mr. Prewitt said that he has a letter of compliance from the State relative to the Adair Muffler Property. DLZ recommended, and the PDB agreed to these future recommendations: 1)A Phase II Environmental Asessment, 2) Begin Acquisition of the Property, and 3) Perform Boundary and Topographical Survey of the Site. Pre-Design is next DLZ will begin pre-design meetings with each of the PDB members, individually. The members are Judge Jerry Vaughan, Chairman; Judge James C. Weddle, Circuit Court Clerk Dennis Loy; City Attorney Marhall Loy, First District Magistrate Roger Stephens, and Douglas Teague of the Administrative Office of the Courts. DLZ outlined four criteria for the Pre-design effort, which will confirm the understandings between AOC and the PDB: 1) Purposes, 2) Concepts, 3) Desires, and 4) Program Requirements. As well, at the suggestion of Marshall Loy and Judge Weddle, the pre-design team of DLZ will confer with individual lawyers in Columbia. The coordination of the interviews was to be handled by Adair County Bar Association President Mike Harris. Letter from Renaissance Columbia presented by Benton Fudge, agreed to Benton Fudge of Renaissance Columbia presented a request from his group requesting participation in the pre-design process. Both the PDB and DLZ welcomed Renaissance Columbia, and they will be used in the pre-design process. The letter reads as follows: Mr. Fudge was accompanied to the PDB meeting by Richard Phelps and Susan Loy.
