MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JULY 23, 2008 <br />PRECISION The City Administrator reported that the owners of Precision Tree have <br />TREE approached the City relative to the City's purchase of their property for a <br />Public Works Garage. The Administrator indicated that Precision Tree <br />has not indicated their asking price. He noted that the County's tax <br />valuation of the site for 2009 is $723,900. <br />The Public Works Superintendent indicated that he has looked at the site <br />and the building and feels it is a workable property for the Public Works <br />Garage. The existing building is approximately 5,000 square feet, and <br />based on the study done a few years ago on Public Works' needs, an <br />addition of 5,000 square feet would be needed. The Superintendent <br />reported that the Precision Tree building has four bays, and Public Works <br />would need to add another four bays. These bays do not have drive- <br />through capability, but that is not a big concern. <br />Allan asked about salt storage. The Superintendent indicated that that <br />would occur within another building on the site. <br />The City Administrator indicated that the biggest concern would be with <br />outdoor storage and the visibility of the property from the Yorkton Ridge <br />residential area. Blesener indicated that he would not want to do any more <br />outdoor storage on the site than what is allowed in the I-P District, even if <br />the City purchases the property and rezones it to Public. Blesener pointed <br />out the issues that the City has had with Precision Tree over outdoor <br />storage. <br />McGraw asked how much outdoor storage Public Works has. The <br />Superintendent indicated that Public Works stores black dirt and gravel, <br />and well as stockpiles concrete and asphalt until they have enough to <br />recycle. There is also some storage of gate valves and hydrant parts as <br />well as equipment implements. McGraw suggested the addition of a cold <br />storage building to the site to enclose this outdoor storage. The <br />Superintendent felt a 2,000 to 3,000 square foot cold storage building <br />would be adequate. <br />The Administrator pointed out that some outdoor storage would be <br />allowed in the I-P District. Blesener felt that if the City can meet I-P <br />standards, the site would be a good one. <br />Keis asked if the economics work. The Administrator replied that he does <br />not know what Precision Tree wants for the property. He suggested that <br />he contact Precision Tree to pursue specific details. Council agreed. <br />2 <br />
