<br /> .. . <br /> . <br /> INVENTORY/ANALYSIS <br /> INVENTORY <br /> Over the ten months of this study, several members of the Committee examined the existing <br /> facilities. The following commentary summarizes the results of those reviews. Also included <br /> herein are the building program summaries developed by the Committee with the assistance of <br /> City staff. <br /> Facilities Site <br /> Both the City Hall and the Public Works building are presently located on City-owned property <br /> on the south side of Highway 96 between TH 51 and Hamline Avenue, directly across from the <br /> arsenal property. <br /> Other areas, such as the new water tower base, are presently used for Public Works equipment <br /> . storage. These areas are remote from the main facility and cause problems having to travel to <br /> use equipment, and also cause equipment inventory problems. <br /> The present facilities site backs up to residential property and is somewhat limited in future <br /> expansion. <br /> The question that must eventually be answered or determined is whether both the City Hall and <br /> Public Works should be on the same site, or whether they should be on separate sites. <br /> .. Since only a limited number of sites are still available within the City limits, other than the <br /> Arsenal property, this decision must be made without delay. <br /> _... There are advantages and disadvantages, both to siting both facilities on the same piece of <br /> property or to splitting them and placing the two on separate properties. <br /> The Staff, Council and a future consultant must carefully weigh the alternatives to make the final <br /> determination. <br /> ,- <br /> ~c. <br /> . 5 <br /> t~ <br /> ! <br /> Ll <br /> .- <br />
