Background
• Guided by an active group of local residents and community stakeholders
• Modeled after the Y.H. Thomas & Little England Neighborhood Centers
• A public partnership, requiring the help of the community to make it successful
• FHAA will be a lead stakeholder (a replacement for the “Nike” facility)
• The new facility creates greater opportunities to serve community interests
Neighborhood Center Governance Model
• Commercial kitchen • Classroom space • Multipurpose room(s) with partition walls to
divide room(s) • Gym (multipurpose, e.g. cheer gym/dance
room with mirrors, weight room/section)

Feedback from April 2016 Meeting
• Criteria used to analyze sites • 16 sites reviewed • 5 sites under consideration • Polling Activity: Your feedback
Site Options Discussion Items
1. Location: In Fox Hill proper or close proximity (0.5 mile)
2. Existing Infrastructure 3. Environmental Conditions
– How are natural resources impacted by development on the site?
4. Size: both facility and parking fit
Site Analysis Criteria
(Fox Hill/Silver Isles/Old Buckroe)
• Impact on cost and time
Environmental Conditions Explained
– State DEQ, Army Corp of Engineers, Hampton Wetlands Board
– Time to process – No guarantee that permits will be granted
• Money – Wetlands delineation (analysis) – Cost to mitigate loss of wetlands
• ****Avoidance and Minimization**** – City must demonstrate the other sites with no impact
are not an option
• Building: 18,000 square feet – Rule of thumb: 1 acre per 10,000 square feet – Seeking approximately 2 acres
• Parking: 100 spaces • Wetlands impact on buildable area
