KirkwolW <br /> SUBJECT: Relocation of the County Public Works Facility <br /> DATE: July 7, 1992 <br /> Over the past few years, events have occurred which prompted on <br /> and off discussion with several people regarding relocation of <br /> . the County Public Works Garage facility. Several cities have <br /> indicated a need and desire to secure a remote location to store <br /> supplies and equipment. The current facility site, has been <br /> rezoned by the City of Shoreview and is now a "non-conforming" <br /> use. The current site was one of two or three identified for <br /> fur-ther consideration for a Suburban service center and, <br /> recently, a suburban. cour-t facility. The impacts of the <br /> consolidation effort point to one centralized facility which can <br /> be accessed by several agencies for joint equipment use, <br /> materials purchase, handling, and storage. <br /> Parallel with these activities, the Cities of Moundsview and <br /> Ar-den Hills are considering new facilities for their public works <br /> functions, and Shoreview is looking at an expanded facility winch <br /> will not fit on the cur-rent land available. <br /> The Shoreview City Planner, Tom Campbell, contacted the Twin City <br /> Army Ammunitions Plant (TCMP) and, after several months, a <br /> letter- was received indicating a willingness to discuss <br /> possibilities of using current structures' for a combined public <br /> works facility. :!:n May of thi s year, I was part of a group that <br /> toured those possibilities wi th Me Raymond Rabbett, Property <br /> Manager, TCAAP. <br /> The building review, to say the lea~t, was not encouraging <br /> . because of age, design, and access. The str-uctures ar-e about the <br /> same age as the current public.Works building and wer-e designed <br /> for- plant manufacture. They have flat r-oofs that requir-e suppor-t <br /> columns 12-20 feet apart and, with the exception of one, are not <br /> conducive for remodeling to meet our' needs. Access to these <br /> facilities would be via an extensive army security system. <br /> "" A......~I..... D.__ <br />
