MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />November 1, 1g8g <br />Mickelberg pointed out that this plan is only a schematic concept. <br />The next process would be to work with the Fire Department on the <br />proposed floor plan. However, at this point, Boarman & Associates <br />would like a concensus on the amount of square footage desired. <br />Boarman & Associates would also like some direction on whether or <br />not City Hall addition will occur in conjunction with the Fire Hall. <br />The Fire Chief stated that the Fire Department would prefer drive-out <br />doois on both the front and back of the building. <br />Fahey stated that if it worked on the site, he had no problems with <br />drive-outs in the front and back. <br />Scalze asked how the 11,200 square feet compared with the size fire <br />station in Mendota Heights. <br />Mickelberg replied that Mendota Heights' station is 10,600 square <br />feet in size, however, they need to add on additional storage area. <br />Mickelberg reported that the slope of the property makes a drive-through <br />station difficult. <br />Morelan stated that an access drive around the east side of the building <br />was necessary. <br />Kroos agreed, pointing out that the City would not want trucks manuevering <br />the steep grade on Centerville Road when not necessary. <br />Mickelberg suggested that it would be impossible to develop a joint <br />Fire Station and City Hall complex on the amount of land proposed, <br />and an additional two lots would be necessary if City Hall is added <br />to the project. <br />Kroos agreed pointing out that additional land is necessary for site <br />circulation and the additional parking that would be necessary for <br />City hall. <br />Scalze asked if Boarman & Associates have included the City-owned land <br />to the north in the project. <br />It was determined that this property had been included. <br />Fahey asked the representatives of Boarman & Associates for a recommendation <br />on the addition of City Hall to this project. <br />Based on the amount of land involved, Kroos stated that he would not <br />recommend that City Hall be included in the project. <br />Collova asked for an opinion on the combination of the two projects without <br />regard for the size of the site. <br />Kroos replied that such a combination is feasible, however, it is <br />important to keep the traffic circulation for the two uses separate. <br />Page 3 <br />
