KirkWO~ <br /> SUBJECT; Relocation of the Countypul:llic 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 /> further consideration for a s\lburban service center and, <br /> recently, a suburban. court 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 /> Arden Hills are considering new facilities for their public works <br /> functions, and Shoreview is looking at an expanded facility which <br /> will not fit on the current 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 .01 willingness to discuss <br /> possibilities ~f using current structures' for a combined public <br /> works facility. In May of this year, I was part of a- group tha1: <br /> toured those possibilities with Mr. Raymond Rabbett, Property <br /> Manager, TCMP. <br /> The building review, to say. the lea~t, was not encouraging <br /> because of age, design, and access. The structures are about the <br />. same age as the current public Works building and were designed <br /> for plant manufacture. They have flat roofs that require support <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 /> If'\. A...."..IM"~......,,__ <br />
