MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />November 1, 1989 <br />Kroos reported that an advantage is to work out shared uses of certain <br />facilities, such as training room space. However, Kroos estimated that <br />between 1/3 to 1/2 again as much property would be needed to make the <br />project work. Kroos felt a minimum of 10 acres was necessary. <br />Fahey suggested that a combination of the Fire Hall and City Hall would <br />not be feasible due to the cost of additional land that would be needed, <br />and pointed out that the alternative is a small addition to City Hall. <br />Fahey pointed out that the City Hall needs conference space, a small <br />kitchen and additional office space. <br />Kroos stated that the Fire Nall would be oriented on the site to provide <br />area for future expansion. <br />Boss asked if the Water Works area could be used for overflow parking <br />area. Boss also suggested that the City Hall could be accomodated on <br />the Fire Hall site if a two or three story building were constructed. <br />Mickelberg pointed out that 7,200 square feet would be necessary for <br />City Hall, and s~ggested that a 2 to 3 story building of that amount of <br />square footage would not work. <br />Fahey again indicated that he supported an addition onto the existing <br />City Hall. <br />Council discussed having Boarman & Associates study the issue of an <br />addition to the existing City Center. The Council outlined the <br />preliminary work that SEH has done on this subject, and requested that <br />Boarman & Associates review this information, and prepare a report for <br />the City Council. <br />Fahey suggested that Boarman & Associates work on the internal floor <br />plan for the Fire Hall building, in addition to the City Center study. <br />Scalze suggested that in development of the building plans for the Fire <br />Station, that the building be situated on the site to match the <br />street locations. <br />Fahey stated that he likes the small green area at the corner of <br />Little Canada Road and Centerville Road that Boarman & Asosciates <br />have shown on the schematic. Fahey pointed out that this is a heavily <br />used corner. <br />Collova felt that the facade of the building should be of high-quality <br />due to the amount of traffic and visibility of this corner. <br />Blesener asked for cost projections. <br />Kroos replied that most Fire Stations are running at $85 per square <br />foot, due to the higher than average mechanical and electrical costs <br />involved. However, it is possible to hold the cost down to $65 per <br />square foot. <br />Page 4 <br />
