. ST. MICHAELS POLICE DEPARTMENT – INTRODUCTION
1
The Town of St. Michaels and the St.
Michaels Police Department, at the urging of the current Police Chief, decided that a
study should be made on the condition and operational capabilities of the current
Police Department facility on Freemont Street in St. Michaels. The purpose of this study was to determine the following about
the existing building and the future of the St. Michaels Police Department:
What is the condition of the existing building including its physical, operational and safety systems?
Can the existing building be renovated to correct the deficiencies
identified by this investigation? If renovation of the existing facility is
not possible, what are the requirements for a new facility?
What are the costs to construct a new facility if a new facility is needed?
What are the site requirements of a new facility and will the new facility
be developable on either of two sites identified as possible sites by
the Town?
To answer these questions, the Town of St. Michaels engaged Crosby & Associates to work with the Police Department Chief and
his team and the Feasibility Study Committee appointed by the Town of St. Michaels. The Report documents the results of this study and the work of the Police Department, the Committee and the Design
Team.

The following is a report on the condition of the existing police center and is a summary of
the findings of the investigation of the facility by staff of Crosby & Associates, AIA, LLC.
A. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE The following is a report on the
operational and physical plant deficiencies that exist in the present St.
Michaels Police Department facility located at 100 Freemont Street, St. Michaels, Maryland 21663. The
purpose of this report is to identify deficiencies in the existing facility that
compromise the current operational policing practices and place limitations on building operations. These deficiencies were identified through a thorough inspection of the facility, interviews with current operational leadership and comparative analysis of
the existing facility with current best practices for police facilities. The physical deficiencies associated with the current building were identified though a visual inspection of the building as part of the deficiency identification process and a comparative analysis of the existing facility with current building, fire and ADA code regulations. A complete building inspection of the existing building, however, was not within the scope of this project
B. CODES & STANDARDS This report and its conclusions were based on design and operational best practices standards provided by the following agencies, codes and research reporting organizations:
International Chiefs of Police
Facility Planning Guidelines National Clearinghouse for
Criminal Justice Planning & Architecture
State of Maryland, Governors Office of Crime Control and Prevention
US Department of Justice Facility Planning Guidelines
International Building Code, 2009
International Fire Code, 2009 Americans with Disabilities Act
Code Standards, 2006 In addition to the standards listed above, case studies of new, similar small department facilities were researched and reviewed to define
current best design practices that are being employed in the design and
construction of new police station facilities. The case studies reviewed are appended to this report for review.
C. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As a result of the inspections of the existing facility, interviews with
department leadership, research and analysis of current codes and standards and the review of relevant case studies
of new facilities the following major operational and physical deficiencies
were identified: Safety & Operational Deficiencies The following deficiencies exist in the current police station. This list is a summary of items that need correction to bring the current facility into

Physical Deficiencies The following physical deficiencies exist
in the current facility. These deficiencies were identified as a result
of the inspection process defined above. While a comprehensive
building condition report is not in the scope of this project, the listed physical defects should be corrected to bring
the current facility into compliance with existing building, fire and
accessibility codes. Second floor operational area is
not accessible to the handicapped.
Multiple door openings not in
compliance with minimum door width requirements.
Shower and toilet facilities not universally accessible to the
handicapped. Means of egress from second
floor not code compliant- single means existing, dual means required.
Prisoner entrance not handicap accessible.
Door hardware not handicapped code compliant
Fire alarm, smoke detection and emergency lighting systems do not meet current fire code
requirements.
D. DISCUSSION The operational, safety and physical
deficiencies listed above are serious and could pose major life safety challenges if this facility continues use
as a police center for the long term future. Of primary concern are the
safety deficiencies identified. Chief among these are the lack of a weapons free environment, non-separation of juvenile and adult prisoners, lack of a secure perimeter between patrol,
detention, administrative and public areas, the absence of a secured
prisoner control area outside of the detention cell and the lack of security for the office of the Police Chief. We recommend that the Town take the following steps to increase the
operational safety of the current facility.

powder coated with cuff rail. The above corrective measures should
not be viewed as permanent. These correct on the most serious deficiencies. Significant additional
steps will need to be taken to bring the existing facility into full compliance
with current codes and requirements.
Renovation & Expansion of Existing Facility
The current Police Department facility is located at 100 Freemont Street in St.
Michaels, MD. The building sits on a lot of approximately 11,040 square feet. The existing building is a two story structure with 1,800 square feet on the first floor and 1,500 square feet
on the second floor. The existing building is surrounded by parking and drive lanes. The property is zoned Central Commercial with a total permissible lot coverage of 85%. The at grade impervious allowable is 35%. The above grade allowable is 50%. The current above grade impervious area is approximately 20% with the building footprint equaling 2,000 square feet. The at grade impervious surface is approximately 58% or 6,400 square feet. As part of this Feasibility Report, a Preliminary Project Program was developed with the Chief of Police and his staff. This is an idealized program that details the spaces needed to
A. ST. MICHAELS POLICE STATION – OPERATIONAL & PHYSICAL PLANT DEFICIENCY REPORT
5
satisfy his current operational needs
and his growth needs over the next five years. The total area needed is 5,610
square feet. This program was based on the new building being a one story
structure. If the new building were to be a two
story structure, the estimated program area identified above would need to be
increased to include the construction of two stair towers, an elevator and elevator machine room. These spaces would require the addition of approximately 600 square feet to the
program area for a single story building. The program area total for a two story building would be approximately 6,210 square feet. In consultation with the Police Chief, he has identified those program areas
that could be located on the second floor of a new police station without compromising the operational efficiency of the new facility. The program areas that must remain on the first floor equal 4,435 square feet plus the square footage required for the stair towers and elevators for a total first floor program space need of 5,035 square feet. The total area required for the second floor would be 1,175 square feet. To renovate and expand the current building to satisfy these spatial needs would require an addition on the first floor of 3,235 square feet. The existing first floor area would have to be expanded by this amount to reach the required 5,035 square feet. The
existing second floor area would not
have to be expanded.
If this addition is possible, the total above grade impervious total would
increase from the current 20% to approximately 49%.
Analysis of the existing building and its location on the site shows that the only
way to add the required 3,235 square feet would be to make the addition on the north and west sides of the existing building. The new addition would extend the full length of the existing
building and back to within five feet of the rear property line. The new addition would also add onto the rear of the existing building to within five feet of the rear property line. While the area to make this addition is
available, the sacrifices that would have to be made to accomplish this approach would be significant. Chief among those are:
Elimination of a Sally Port area on the rear of the building
Reduction of the parking area for police vehicles to only 3 spaces
No public off street parking will be available
Addition would require variance from rear yard setback requirements
Addition would only allow single access to rear of building
New underground storm water management system would have to be installed
A. ST. MICHAELS POLICE STATION – OPERATIONAL & PHYSICAL PLANT DEFICIENCY REPORT

The cost to accomplish would
be the same or greater than cost to construct new building
It is concluded that renovating and adding on to the current building
would result in a facility that would not meet the same operational standards as a new facility.
E. CONCLUSIONS &
RECOMMENDATIONS As a result of this study we make the following Conclusions and Recommendations:
The existing facility has
significant safety, operational and physical deficiencies that
cannot be corrected by renovating the existing building.
The existing facility cannot meet the current and/or the future spatial need of the police
department in its present form. That adding onto the existing
facility to satisfy the current and/or future needs of the department is not physically possible or financially advisable.
As a result of this study, we are hereby recommending that the current and/or future needs of the Police Department
be satisfied by the construction of a new a facility and converting the existing facility to an appropriate new use.

The Preliminary Project Program was created through in depth interviews with current
department leadership and review of similar projects. This program analysis determined that the new facility, to meet current needs and
to allow for growth over the next five years, would result in a building of approximately 5,610square feet. The new building would be
divided into three program areas including Administrative, Patrol and Detention.
The Project Program identifies each space to be constructed, the approximate size and square
footage, what adjacencies are appropriate and details design notes to be included when the
space is laid out in a physical plan. All spaces identified are net areas. A 20% core
factor to include wall thickness and unaccounted for spaces is included at the end of the program.

C. ST. MICHAELS POLICE DEPARTMENT - ESTIMATE OF PROBABLE CONSTRUCTION COST
1
The Estimate of Probable Construction Cost
was created using information from recently completed projects, review of case studies and
physical quantity take offs from the drawings and computed using industry standard unit prices.
The Estimate calculates that the probable direct cost of construction of the new center
would be approximately $1,628,454.00 including a 8% construction cost contingency.
This results in a per square foot cost of $296.08 The Estimate also defines the soft costs that
would be incurred for the design and construction supervision of the new police
station. The total allocated amount was estimated to be $249,750.00.
Allowances for Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment were also estimated. The allowance cost included was $65,000.00. This is
an allowance and the actual cost may vary depending on the FFE items to be included in
the project. The estimated Total Project Cost, including soft
costs and FFE was $1,921,501.00. The estimated cost per square foot was $349.37 These costs do not include costs for civil
engineering of the site, soil borings or surveys required to complete the planning of the site.

D. ST. MICHAELS POLICE DEPARTMENT – SITE ANALYSIS & SITE PLANS
1
Two sites were considered as the location for
the new Police Department Building. The goal for this analysis was to prepare preliminary site
plans for a ONE STORY structure that would satisfy the space requirements of the preliminary project program developed as part
of this study. A total of approximately 5,500 square feet was assumed for the preparation of these plans.
The two sites considered included a site at the
corner of Talbot and Boundary Streets and a site at the corner of Freemont and Canton Streets.
The site on Talbot Street consists of
approximately 18,000 square feet and is zoned R-1/IDA. The site on Freemont Street consists of approximately 13,000 square feet and is
zoned Central Commercial. Two site plans were developed and are included in this report. Both showed a single story building to be
constructed on each site.
The site plan for Talbot Street shows how a single story building, including the Sally Port could be developed on the site. This building
could not be developed without the Town granting several variances to the zoning/subdivision ordinance. The first
variance is the total lot coverage requirement of the ordinance. This site plan shows that the
total lot coverage at grade and above grade exceeds the 50% maximum at 67%. Additionally, the Sally Port encroaches on the
rear yard setback requirement. The site plan for Freemont Street shows how a
single story building, including a pull-in, back-out Sally Port could be developed on the site.
This building could be developed without requiring any variances to the zoning ordinance.
After review of these site plans, the Police Chief
identified an additional program requirement
that was not identified during the
programming phase of this study. He stated that there is a need to park a minimum of six
police vehicles on site in a protected (fenced) enclosure. The site plans were revised to accommodate this requirement.
To satisfy the additional parking requirement the Talbot site plan was modified. Because of
the new program need, the proposed building would have to be a two story structure. The
resultant site plan is attached to this report. This revised plan also eliminates the enclosed Sally Port and eliminates any need for variances
to the current zoning/subdivision ordinance.
The modified Freemont Street site plan incorporates the new parking requirement and eliminates the enclosed Sally Port. There are
no variances required to implement this site plan option.
It is recommended that the St. Michaels Police Department select the Freemont Street site as
the location for their new Police Department facility.
E. ST. MICHAELS POLICE DEPARTMENT – PROPOSED FLOOR PLANS AND ELEVATIONS
1
Based on the completed site plan for Freemont
Street and the Preliminary Project Program, detailed proposed floor plans and building
elevations were developed. Prior to the design of the floor plans and
elevations for the new facility members of the Town Police Department Committee and the Police Chief toured the recently completed
Hurlock Police Department Building in Hurlock, Maryland. This facility and the Hurlock
department are similar in size and similar in number of sworn officers.
The attendees and the Police Chief thought that the Hurlock building was a good facility on
which to base the design of the new St. Michaels Police department building. One of the design aspects of Hurlock appreciated most
by the attendees was the levels of safety and control that the Hurlock building included. Additionally, the general layout of the
administration and training wing was thought to be a design element that should be repeated
in the St. Michael’s facility. The proposed floor plans and elevations
developed are included in this report. The proposed floor plan consists of
approximately 5,017 square feet. This is 483 square feet less than the area shown on the site
plan and detailed in the preliminary project program. The proposed floor plan matches the building outline shown on the proposed
Freemont Site Plan. The administrative and training area of the
proposed plan is very similar to the plan of the same area in the new Hurlock facility. The
security levels are the same and the Training Room shown on the St. Michaels Plan will accommodate the same occupancy as the
Hurlock Training Room – 18 persons.
The Patrol area on the proposed plan includes
work stations for 8 officers on single use work stations. As the department grows, these work
stations would be shared. The Locker Rooms are sized to allow for the future growth of the facility as defined by the Police Chief.
The Detention area is designed to meet the specific requirements defined by the Police
Chief. Three detention cells are included – two for adults and one for juveniles.
This plan will accommodate all of the growth needs identified by the St. Michaels Chief of
Police without the need to expand the facility.
The proposed design of the exterior of the new building reflects the request of the Chief and Town officials that the new façade have
elements that speak to the town’s maritime heritage. It was also deemed important that the new building’s design be compatible with
the scale, proportion and materials of other historic buildings in St. Michaels.
The proposed elevations created by the design team succeeds in incorporating the requested
maritime elements and is compatible with the scale, proportion and materials of the historic character of the town of St. Michaels.
F. ST. MICHAELS POLICE DEPARTMENT – CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1
As a result of this study we make the
following Conclusions and Recommendations:
The existing facility has significant safety, operational and physical
deficiencies that cannot be corrected by renovating the existing building.
The existing facility cannot meet the
current and/or the future spatial needs of the police department in its present
form and, because of current site constraints, cannot be expanded to
meet future spatial needs. That adding onto the existing facility to
satisfy the current and/or future needs
of the department is not physically possible or financially advisable.
As a result of this study, we are hereby recommending that the current and/or
future needs of the Police Department be satisfied by the construction of a new a facility and converting the existing facility to
an appropriate new use.
It is also recommended that the Town select the Freemont Street site as the location of the new St. Michaels Police Department facility. Of the two sites considered the Freemont site is best suited to satisfy the short and long term growth needs of the department. In addition, we are recommending that the Town immediately implement the temporary safety corrections to the existing facility identified in this report. These changes to the building can be implemented with a minimum of operational disruption and will greatly increase the level of safety for both the officers and staff of the department and the public.
