MINUTES <br />City Council <br />January 4, 1990 <br />the proposal for Little Canada is a 12,000 square foot <br />building. Kroos reported that he calculated the cost <br />difference of a brick facade versus burnished block <br />facade, and a cost savings of approximately $24,000 <br />could be realized by going with the burnished block. <br />Kroos reported that another area where a cost savings <br />could be realized is by goinq with gyp board walls for <br />some of the interior walls, Kroos estimated a cost <br />savings of $10,000 by going with a combination of block <br />and gyp board walls for the interior of the building. <br />Kroos further reported that he was asked to look at <br />possible cost savings of constructing a two-story fire <br />station versus one-story. Kroos reported that he <br />contacted Kraus-Anderson and according to their <br />estimates, a cost savings of 10% would be realized by <br />constructing a two-story building. Kroos reported that <br />his firm put together a potential floor plan for a <br />two-story building, Kroos reported that he estimated a <br />$24,000 cost savings could be realized. <br />Kroos reported that from a functional standpoint, he <br />did not believe a two-story fire station worked as well <br />as a one-story. <br />Paul Mickelberg, Boarman & Associates, reported that <br />the one-story station proposed would take up 12,000 <br />square feet of the site, while the two-story station <br />would take up 8,500 square feet, therefore, freeing up <br />some of the land for parking and access. Mickelberg <br />pointed out that there are cost implications and site <br />implications to a two-story station versus one-story. <br />Fahey commented that a two-story station might be ideal <br />if there are site constraints that must be dealt with <br />regarding parking and access to the east side of the <br />building. <br />Scalze asked the amount of parking planned for the <br />station. <br />Page 2 <br />
