►T1 [ FtT:[ 1E^ L ; 1+ P PROJECT#: 92-1 PROJECT.- Park Building from City of Shoreview. DATE OF ORIGIN:August 31, 1992 TO: Parks & Recreation Board Members City of Lino Lakes FROM: Marty Asleson Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Coordinator OVERVIEW STATEMENTS: • The City of Shoreview has given the City of Lino Lakes the opportunity to purchase one of their older park buildings for $1.00 to make way for a new facility. • The building is a hexagon shape about 30' across (approximately 400 s.f.) • The inside of the building is open, with no interior walls. The ceiling has exposed trusses with lights. The entire structure has been insulated and is usable for winter activities. • One side of the building has a roll-up garage door. • The building requires a concrete slab for a base. No footings should be required, except perhaps for the center support. • Although older, the building has been well taken care of and is in reasonably good shape. STAFF COMMENTS/ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION: • The building provides an opportunity for the City to acquire an older but structurally sound building for virtually no cost. • The total estimated cost associated with relocating the building is between $4,900 and $7,800, including the following: 1) Transport from Shoreview to selected site in Lino Lakes: $2,500 to $5,000 (rough estimate- not confirmed). 2) Site preparation: $800.00. 3) Concrete footing and slab: $1,600 to $2,000 4) Utilities (electric, water, etc.): either already available or at a latter date. • At this time, staff sees two district options for locating the building: Country Lakes Park(C-1) and Birch Park(N-1 1). Other possibilities may exist. • At Country Lakes Park,the building could be used for a changing room,concessions,and warming house, meeting room, and/or storage. Positive Attributes: 1) Serves an immediate need by better serving those using the park, particularly the beach area. 2) It could provide the impetus for additional improvements, such as upgrading the beach area. 3) May allow for more joint-use of the facility between the School District and the City. Negative Attributes: 1) May not be the best long-term solution for the park since the building is somewhat limited in regard to function, size, and all-around usability. 2) Architectural style may not be what is desired for this park. • At Birch Park, the building would replace the temporary warming house. It would also allow for some additional year-round use (e.g., recreation programs and storage). Positive Attributes: 11 Permanently replaces a temporary facility with a sound structure. 2) Provides additional use opportunities and storage space. Parks & Recreation Board 1 City of Lino Lakes
