Roseville Maintenance Facility Report 102617.13 City Comparison Every city requires maintenance, and most house this department in one or more sites within the city limits. The equipment, materials, and parts necessary for maintaining city utilities requires a large facility, no matter the city size. The maintenance facility tends to grow as a city develops roads, parks, and utilities. In the chart below, Roseville is placed within a small sampling of suburbs surrounding Minneapolis and St. Paul. Although not a comprehensive list, the chart provides general data on the typical relationship between city area (sq mi), maintenance facility size (sf), and maintenance site area (acres). The cities are listed by area from smallest to largest, with Roseville in the bottom half. Census Data Parks and Recreation Facilities City Area Population (2016) Parks Acres of Parkland Maint.

The largest cities, Eden Prairie and Bloomington, have multiple maintenance facilities to house all the equipment necessary for their cities. Roseville has the second smallest building. With only 3.98 acres, the Roseville maintenance facility has the smallest site of all the cities listed. Its site is only half of Edina's acreage even though the cities are nearly the same area. Site Area The larger maintenance sites accommodate necessary yard storage and safe navigation of large equipment. Larger sites allow for future growth when the facilities need to expand. The existing site limits future expansion. Options for adding in place are described in Scheme A, B, C, & D of this report. Repair Bays Even the smallest maintenance facilities require several repair bays to efficiently service vehicles. Most maintenance facilities have 3 or more repair bays. Typical repair bays have drive-thru capabilities and built-in lifts for easy access. When the Public Works department has more equipment, they typically require more repair bays. This allows for timely replacement of oil and tires for all vehicles. It also allows maintenance staff to repair multiple vehicles efficiently.
