the start of the study however as the documentation of existing conditions completed, the evidence was extensive. The noncompliant items include the following partial list: corridors to narrow to meet accessibility standards, restrooms and countertops of improper size or without accessible heights, combustible construction in a non-combustible defined building including wood paneling and some wood wall construction, mechanical units that did not provide minimum air quality requirements, storage in areas without proper headroom, floor drains in vehicle accessed areas that flow into a septic system, among many other items. The deficiencies identified in the existing Public Works facility are not maintenance items as defined in the earlier paragraph, but can only be addressed in an extensive remodeling of the entire existing building which is what led to the findings represented in the original study. While providing for more upgrade costs than originally would have been anticipated, the extent of the needed remodeling upgrades identified in the study is valuable knowledge for use by the City of Lino Lakes in effectively planning for the current and future needs of the Public Works Department in a manner to ensure that upgrades budgeted address the short-term and long-term goals developed for the facility. Future Expansion (Phase II) Timing and Cost The future expansion labeled as Phase II in the study represents possible future growth needs for the Public Works department looking out at least 15 to 20 years. This data is based on typical anticipated additional departmental needs to serve the increase in the population of the City of Lino Lakes as projected by the Metropolitan Council by the year 2040. This population projection is more than two decades in the future and only time will indicate if this growth level materializes. Further, the additional square footage of vehicle storage needed to serve this larger population is estimated based on staff input and comparison to other cities of similar population to the Metropolitan Council's future population estimate and also may not fully materialize. The intent of the study is to identify the maximum potential departmental facility needs within the requested timeframe reviewed such that, if needed, the site and building masterplan layout can accommodate this future facility growth without relocation or other inefficiencies. The study is not intended to indicate that the Phase II storage building expansion will be required, only that if the projections both for growth of population and equipment needs achieves the maximum envisioned levels, the site and building masterplans developed remain viable. The City of Lino Lakes would need to revisit actual needs based on updated data over the coming decades. Due to the unknown size and timing of the potential future expansion (Phase II) a cost estimate for this building addition was not included in the study results. However, to provide some concept of potential future expansion costs, the following table has been added to this Addendum. Future Expansion Size Building Area (sf) Low Cost /SF* High Cost /SF* Low Range High Range Minor Addition 15,000 $110 $150 $1,650,000 $2,250,000 Maximum Addition 30,000 $110 $150 $3,300,000 $4,500,000 *Costs in 2017 dollars and does not include inflation CNH ARCHITECTS
