<br />Memo to Mayor and Council <br />Page 2 of5 <br />May 20, 2003 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />After considering the above factors, the Taskforce unanimously passed the following <br />recommendation to the Council: <br /> <br />The Taskforce recommends that Council proceed with partnering with Ramsey County <br />on the matter of a joint public works facility as an equity partner with the plans as <br />currently drafted <br /> <br />Additional Comments <br /> <br />For Council's benefit, staff would provide the following additional comments <br /> <br />1. Layout ofthe proposed facility <br /> <br />A copy of the building's layout is enclosed for your review. Areas allocated for use by <br />Arden Hills have been highlighted. You will note that most of our space has been <br />consolidated into one area. However, we do have non-contiguous space in the following <br />areas: <br /> <br />}> A vehicle maintenance bay in the equipment wing. This is separated out by a wall . <br />and is close to our primary space <br />}> Miscellaneous stalls in the heated storage wing <br />}> Two spaces under the canopy space for miscellaneous equipment <br /> <br />In addition, you will note that the lunch room and locker facilities are shared between the <br />School District and City. Tom Moore and Jim Perron both participated in weekly design user <br />group meetings that ultimately resulted in the current space configuration. For Council's <br />reference, based on the proximity of City Hall and cost factors staff has indicated to the <br />County that the City is not interested in participating in the County's multi-purpose room. <br />The School District has done this as well. <br /> <br />2. Area calculations <br /> <br />Attached are spreadsheets outlining the gross and usable square footages for the various <br />space types. Usable square footage corresponds to a specific area. For example, a large 14 x <br />40 heated stall has an area of 560 square feet. To account for common area such as driving <br />lanes etc ..., the gross area, or overall, square footage associated with this space is 989 <br />square feet. <br /> <br />3. Space for future expansion <br /> <br />Based on internal discussions and input from the Taskforce, unallocated square footage <br />included in previous versions of the plan has been eliminated from the program. While <br />various reasons exist for not building future expansion into our space program, they can be <br />generally broken down into the following: <br /> <br />. <br />
