In regards to the Roseville Historical Society, staff has been working with the board to relocate them <br />into a park building in Evergreen Park. Unfortunately, building code requirements require substantial <br />upgrades to the building (nearly $300,000) for them to locate in Evergreen Park. Given that fact, staff <br />� has been looking at potentially including office space (and maybe display space) in any new storage <br />building the City would utilize. Similarly, the Roseville Fire Relief Association will be looking for <br />ofiice space and could be included in a new storage building. <br />Staff has done some preliminary work on identifying properties that would be able to meet our storage <br />� needs (approximately 15,000 -20,000 square feet) and accommodate users such as the Roseville <br />Historical Society and Roseville Fire Relief Association. At the meeting, staff will present information <br />about potential properties to consider. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br />�� While the Fairview Fire Station property is currently assessed at $1,738,700 ($904,800 for land, <br />� $833,900 for the building) by Ramsey County, staff is doubtful �hat the property can be sold for that <br />amount. In addition, only about half the property would be sold due the City retaining the area around <br />the water tower. Nevertheless, the funds from the sale of the property to private party could be used to <br />- help fund a solution for the storage and space needs of the City and affiliated organizations. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Fairview Fire Station property be put on the market for sale for a future <br />business/commercial use. However, prior to advertising the property for sale, the City will need to have <br />� a solution for the City storage and space needs in place. To that end, staff first recoinmends that the <br />City Council direct staff to identify properties and/or buildings that can be used as permanent <br />centralized storage and fill the space needs for the City and affiliated organizations and return to a <br />� future meeting with options for the City Council to consider. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />Will be based on discussion. <br />Prepared by: Patrick Trudgeon, City Manager (65l ) 792-7021 pat.trud eg on(c�cityofroseville.com <br />Attachments: A: Aerial Map of 2501 Fairview Ave. (Fairview Fire Station) <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
