218 Member Misra stated if there is a proposal for something like a big box store with <br />219 high traffic in that area that will impact the intersection quite a bit. <br />220 <br />221 Mr. Culver stated that was correct and the reason there is talk about what options <br />222 are out there. If, and when a development goes in there, the City is likely to see <br />223 another traffic signal on County Road C at Hershel. Short of that, it is, what else <br />224 can the City physically do and logistically be done to County Road C to help <br />225 improve some of the capacity to support that development. <br />226 <br />227 6. Maintenance Facility Study <br />228 Mr. Culver provided a brief review and update on the Maintenance Facility Study <br />229 listed in the staff report dated January 22, 2019. He indicated the consultants <br />230 recommend a building size of 100,000 square feet for current operations is <br />231 recommended. To meet the 50 -year space requirements then 120,000 square feet <br />232 is recommended. <br />233 <br />234 Member Joyce asked if the City is maintaining any emergency vehicles. <br />235 <br />236 Mr. Culver stated the City does. The police vehicles, in particular, are maintained <br />237 to extend the life of the vehicles. He stated there are over 200 vehicles in the fleet <br />238 and the City has two mechanics with three bays and it is constantly busy. He noted <br />239 the City does farm some work out. <br />240 <br />241 Member Wozniak asked if there has been any consideration of asking Parks and <br />242 Recreation to find storage for their equipment elsewhere. <br />243 <br />244 Mr. Culver stated the City Maintenance Facility will always house both and there <br />245 are some advantages to that. Equipment is shared and all of the employees are in <br />246 one location so break rooms and locker rooms, restrooms are only needed in one <br />247 facility. There are advantages to that. <br />248 <br />249 Mr. Roger Hess, Jr., 1906 Wagner Place stated Fairview Fire Station is being torn <br />250 down so the Parks and Recreation Department will be needing more space for <br />251 equipment that was at the Fairview site. When the City Council bought the strip <br />252 mall it was purchased for expansion of the City facilities, not just for the license <br />253 center. He hoped this will not be like the Fire Station and Parks and Recreation, he <br />254 hoped all of the departments will be involved in the discussions because many of <br />255 the departments need more space. <br />256 <br />257 Mr. Culver stated the City Staff and City Council recognizes that there needs to be <br />258 a more comprehensive master plan exercise to figure out what options the City can <br />259 have with the areas that are owned by the City. <br />260 <br />261 Member Wozniak stated the other unknown is the Oval with all of the repairs that <br />262 it will need. <br />263 <br />Page 6 of 7 <br />
