MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />FEBRUARY 7, 2014 <br />that the Parks Department is being added into the current project, a goal is <br />to have all equipment stored indoors, and with the efficiencies in the <br />current design that provide for office space, drive - through capabilities, a <br />dedicated maintenance bay and wash area, etc., Option A proposes a <br />26,070 square foot facility. <br />Boss pointed out that the gained efficiencies will save the City money in <br />the long run. McGraw again commented that the building design <br />proposals provide for no frills. The Construction Manager agreed, and <br />stated that in order to decrease costs, square footage will have to be cut. <br />Montour expressed concern about the location of salt storage, noting that <br />the goal is to have no variances on the project. The City Administrator <br />indicated that he would verify whether or not salt storage is a permitted <br />use in the location proposed. Montour stated that he was concerned with <br />appearance of the project from Centerville Road, noting the three bay <br />doors and gate proposed on the Centerville Road Side. Montour also <br />asked how the property to the north would be accessed if the City were <br />ever to purchase that property and add it to the site. It was noted that the <br />proposed fuel island on the north side of the building has been eliminated. <br />Montour stated that his biggest concern is how the project will fit on the <br />property given that it abuts a residential area. Montour suggested that if <br />the building cannot be re- oriented, perhaps additional screening would be <br />needed. <br />The City Administrator reported that the architect was told that there can <br />be no variances on this project. He indicated that Montour's concerns <br />would be conveyed to the architect. The Construction Manager noted that <br />Centerville Road is a main thoroughfare in the City, and noted that this is <br />the reason that the office area of the building is being oriented toward <br />Centerville Road. There was some discussion about whether or not the <br />main entrance into the property should be Centerville Road or LaBore <br />Road, with drive - through capabilities for the building directing that main <br />entrance to Centerville Road. The salt storage area was again discussed <br />with the City Administrator pointing out that the salt storage will be in a <br />20 -foot high enclosure. The building height is proposed at 22 feet. <br />Blesener indicated that the goal this morning is to determine whether or <br />not the Council is supportive of the building size and estimated project <br />cost. There was also discussion on the need for a neighborhood meeting <br />to review the project and obtain input from the neighbors. Montour <br />suggested that elevations of the building be prepared so they can be <br />presented at the neighborhood meeting. <br />4 <br />
