Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 19, 2017 Page 21 McGehee moved, Etten seconded, directing Community Development staff to abate the public nuisance at 949 Brooks Avenue W by notifying a towing compa- ny to remove the vehicle from the property; with the property owner billed for ac- tual and administrative costs; and if those charges are not paid, staff will recover costs as specified in City Code, Section 407.07B. Roll Call Ayes: McGehee, Willmus, Laliberte, Etten and Roe Nays: None. e. Consideration of a Community Development Department Request to Per- form an Abatement for Unresolved Violations of City Code at 2490 Sheldon Street As previously noted, this item was removed from tonight's agenda for future con- sideration. f. Consideration of a Community Development Department Request to Per- form an Abatement for Unresolved Violations of City Code at 578 Ryan Av- enue W As previously noted, this item was resolved prior to tonight's meeting. g. Discussion about Fairview Fire Station As detailed in the RCA, City Manager Trudgeon noted the current situation with this former fire station site on Fairview Avenue, existing easements and current zoning guidance as Institutional. Mr. Trudgeon further noted the interest of the Gaughan Companies in this property, with several of their representatives present tonight to present a concept plan for the site. However, Mr. Trudgeon advised that this proposal had just been received late last week, and had received no sig- nificant vetting by staff at this point, and would therefore, require substantial re- view and only represented one possible option should the city decide to put the parcel on the market. If and when the city makes that decision, Mr. Trudgeon noted that there would be an impact to current users, including the Roseville His- torical Society, who also had representatives in tonight's audience wishing to speak to the issue. Mr. Trudgeon noted that the continuing shuffling of this group remained a challenge to them, and therefore the Society was offering another op- tion to retain the property and rehabilitate the existing building. Mr. Trudgeon noted the need to also address current storage at the site and related Cedarholm Golf Course preliminary plans, not currently including a basement that the City Council may wish to include as an alternate to future design bids, with an estimat- ed $28,000 to include that option in the Request for Proposals (RFP). At the request of Councilmember Willmus, City Manager Trudgeon advised that the current city-wide space needs study was in the process of being wrapped up at this time, and anticipated for City Council information in July. Mr. Trudgeon cautioned that efficiencies in existing space may be separate from the reality of city needs and the challenges of providing those spaces all under one roof.
