Consideration of Acquisition of Public Works Facility
at the Corner of 82nd Street and Hwy. 41
The City Council at their August 28, 1989 , meeting, directed
staff to proceed with negotiations with Nordic Track in acquiring
the public works facility at the corner of 82nd Street and Hwy.
1 41. Since this meeting, staff has asked Jack Anderson of EOS
Architecture to provide an estimate for the construction of a
5 ,000 square foot cold storage facility to be located at the
I existing public works facility site in the Chanhassen Lakes
Business Park. Based on Mr . Anderson' s best estimates for a
facility of this size and with similar materials as used on the
existing public works facility, the cost would be in the range of
I $136 , 000 to $150, 000. The 82nd Street facility is presently
being used to store snow plow blades , sanding equipment, trucks ,
etc. Jerry Schlenk, Maintenance Superintendent for the City has
1 requested that if the City Council should sell the buildings,
that it be contingent upon the completion of the new facility
before they are to vacate equipment stored in the existing faci-
I lity at 82nd Street. The advantages of selling the facility
would be to centralize the public works storage and functions
into one location.
I The proposed purchase price for the one acre site is $100,000 .
The Pauls, the prospective buyers , have also expressed that they
would like to take complete ownership of the property right away
I and that the city would be asked to move their equipment out at
the time that ownership would take place.
RECOMMENDATION
I
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the offer of
$100, 000 with the contingency that the city occupy the existing
1 building until the new facility is completed. Staff would also
recommend that the additional $36 ,000 to $50 ,000 needed to
complete the construction of a new facility and that those monies
I come from revenues remaining from the General Fund. Mr. Pauls
will also be present at Monday night' s meeting to answer any
questions that the Council may have.
