CITY OF ARDEN HILLS 2002 BUDGET PROCESS e FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN DEPARTMENT PROJECT TITLE PROJECT NUMBER FIVE-YEAR COST Parks Replacement of the $65,000 warming house at Hazelnut Park SCHEDULED PROJECT ACTIVITY FUNDING SOURCE 2002 X 2003 2004 2005 2006 FUTURE LOCATION Hazelnut park, Lower Level, 3301 New Brighton Road DESCRIPTION Replacement ofthe warming house and improvement of the grade around the warming house. JUSTIFICATION The warming house is 36 years old and was moved from the Presbyterian Homes location in 1972. It is showing its age. The roof leaks, fascia, and soffits are rotted, as well as the floor. e The front step and threshold have been replaced twice in three years. Because of a poor location and grade, heavy rains and the spring thaw will produce standing water around and inside the structure. CURRENT STATUS/PROJECTED SCHEDULE Listed as a top priority of the PTRC for action in 2002, RELATIONSHIP TO EXISTING PLANS AND OTHER PROGRAMS The PTRC, in the Park Compo Plan process which was a resident driven process, determined that Freeway Park will continue to have a warming house, Furthermore, the PTRC made the determination that basic and necessary repair or replacement of existing Park structures should not be the focus of the Park Comp Plan, but rather should be the focus of an existing regular, systematic replacement plan such as the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan. The PTRC believes that the replacement of the warming house is a basic and necessary action to take in order to provide a safe and functional environment for the residents of Arden Hills. On two separate occasions the PTRC unanimously voted to recommend that this project be placed in the 2002 CIP. e
