CONCEPT Concept site and floor plans were developed to test the program infonnation and to illustrate sizes and relationships of major facility components. Concept plans presented herein are intended only to graphically illustrate the program, not to suggest an architectural design. The existing facility floor plan with a gross area of 8,238 SF is shown by Figure 1. MAIN BUILDING Figure 2 presents the schematic floor plan which has a footprint of 29,987 square feet. A building of one level is assumed. Some functions could be placed in a basement or on a mezzanine to reduce the size of the footprint, however, the benefits of this would have to be weighed considering site condition, an elevator, general accessibility, overall circulation, etc. SITE As mentioned the site is hypothetical; it is estimated that a site of at least 6.5 acres is required, provided it has the appropriate configuration and places no limits on development, i.e. good soil, etc. The hypothetical site is shown by Figure 3. The existing Public Works site is shown by Figure 1. Consolidation into a site with a joint use facility involving other groups or agencies should be considered as noted in the Introduction. ZONING REGULATIONS SUMMARY On the possibility that the Arden Hills Maintenance Services Facility may be considered for location on property with a zoning designation of Civic Center (CC), we have prepared a brief summary of our understanding of the requirements as it may relate to this project type. . A Public Works Facility is a permitted use in the CC district, however, this usage does require a Special Use Permit. · Outside storage of equipment, vehicles, and materials is not permitted, except in staging areas. . Within staging areas, no overnight, weekend, or holiday storage is permitted. Material transfer is permitted only for activities necessary during normal business operations between 6 am and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. TKDA ENGINEERS "ARCH!TECTS.
