Portland Roundhouse and Turntable???

I was looking ahead a thinking that it might be tight for turntable based on the track arrangement. According to Auto Cad it should fit with less tracks than I had before. However, as I said before the yard expanded a little because I was trying to get the short yard track a little longer.
Now I'm pretty sure that it won't fit. Now I'm looking at options. The first being to take the turntable lead around and under the main line and bring the turntable to the front of the layout. The second was to alter the turnouts on the south side and curve them into the yard, which might actually lengthen my short yard tracks.
It looks like more measurements are in order.
