Description Option A2 is located at the current Public Works and Senior Center Facility site. This option provides for an all-new Public Works Facility which includes office, vehicle maintenance, departmental shops and vehicle storage. The existing salt building, cold storage garage and material storage bins will be reused. Since this option removes the existing 45 year old building, it provides the flexibility to place the building on the site in a more advantageous layout. This results in a more compact building footprint, better screening of the building to the east neighborhood, and the option for drive-through parking for large equipment within the storage garage. This site option also allows for the continued use of the newer of the two existing cold storage garages which will provide more available space for the Public Works department, especially until Phase 2 is added. Option A2, using the existing public works site, requires an extension of the municipal water service and municipal sanitary service to the site.
