It is showing its age, The roofleaks, fascia, and soffits are <br />rotted as well as the floor. The front step and threshold have been replaced twice in three years, <br />Because of a poor location and grade, heavy rains and the spring thaw will produce standing <br />water around and inside the structure, <br />CURRENT STATUS/PROJECTED SCHEDULE <br />Listed as a top priority of the PTRC for action in 2002. <br />RELATIONSHIP TO EXISTING PLANS AND OTHER PROGRAMS <br />The PTRC, in the Park Compo Plan process which was a resident driven process, determined that <br />Freeway Park will continue to have a warming house. Furthermore, the PTRC made the <br />determination that basic and necessary repair or replacement of existing Park structures should <br />not be the focus of the Park Comp Plan, but rather should be the focus of an existing regular, <br />systematic replacement plan such as the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan. The PTRC <br />believes that the replacement of the warming house is a basic and necessary action to take in <br />order to provide a safe and functional environment for the residents of Arden Hills. On two <br />separate occasions the PTRC unanimously voted to recommend that this project be placed in the <br />2002 CIP, <br />
