A. INTRODUCTION <br />This portion of the study is the next step after the completion <br />of the assessment of the existing facilities, operational analysis <br />and space programming.This process involves the planning team <br />and the City discussing all possible options to address operational <br />space, as detailed in the program analysis, that will address the <br />long term requirements of the City's Public Works department. <br />Site options consider a variety of selection criteria such as: existing <br />infrastructure locations, expansion capabilities, staff access, parking, <br />zoning, easements, public access to a recycling center, existing and <br />anticipated roadway improvements, etc.And while not a driver for <br />study, the team did assess each plan and pros and cons associated <br />with possible overall area development. The potential options <br />were reviewed with the City planning team to assure that all viable <br />options are being considered. <br />Concept Plan Development <br />The concept plans and the site master plan options were developed <br />based upon achieving the identified priorities, goals and common <br />vision of the city and public works department.The four concept <br />planning options identified some core planning principals: <br />I. Provide adequate and appropriate building / operational <br />area required for the Public Works Department <br />2. Provide adequate and appropriate site area and circulation <br />needed for public works equipment & operations <br />3. Allow for future expansion <br />4. Create site layouts that promote operational efficiency <br />5. Separate public and public works traffic flow and access <br />VI. Master Planning Concept Options <br />The following is a summary of the four options developed: <br />• Option A— construct a new public works operations east <br />of Jasper and utilize some existing structures for storage. <br />• Option B - construct an entirely new public works facility <br />east of Jasper. <br />• Option C — construct a new public works operations <br />east of Jasper and utilize some existing structures for <br />storage. <br />• Option D - construct a new public works operations <br />on the west side of Jasper and utilize some existing <br />structures for storage. <br />END OF SEC I ION <br />VI.1 1 Ramsey Public Works Study <br />DRAFT <br />BKV <br />GROUP <br />
