Title
Proposed Park/Cemetery Shop Concepts
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Staff would like the City Commission to recommend proceeding with one of the three proposed Park/Cemetery Shop concepts.
BACKGROUND:
Staff presented a Park/Cemetery Shop concept at the Commission Work Session on 4-11-17. The original Park/Cemetery Shop has been red tagged and unusable since 2013. Staff has resided in a small mobile rental unit for the last 4 years. Staff presented a concept that would suffice for existing staff and seasonal staff with limited shop space. The proposal did not have considerations for future staffing or equipment needs. After discussing the original concept design, the Commission asked staff to bring back additional concepts that showed 1/3-1/2 again more space and a proposal that would be for a 20 to 50 year concept design. The other consideration was to determine if the adjacent property was an option to purchase and show potential concept that would utilize the additional property. Staff have worked with LRS Architects to develop the requested concept designs.
There are three concept designs for discussion. Each concept has incrementally increased parking with the increased size of the building. In turn, the estimated cost of the concepts increase with increase square footage and site work. The intent was to look at phasing capacities for each concept. In consideration of the financial capacity to build in total to be unlikely with a larger building and site, we worked with LRS to provide phasing options within these concept design proposals. These are not high level detailed plans, but general concepts that are maluable designs to allow us to meet our financial and space needs as we move forward.
