Elk River <br />Municipal <br />ities <br />13069 Orono Parkway ~ phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 Fax: 763.441.8099 <br />February 28, 2005 <br />To: Clk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />Jerry Takle <br />Jim Tralle <br />.1ohn Dietz <br />From: Bryan Adams <br />Subject: Plant Area <br />Attached is an aerial site plan of our plant facility by Lake Orono. With the passing away <br />of Mr. John McGibbon, staff started questioning the future property expansion <br />opportunities for this facility. This aerial map includes two highlighted areas that reflect <br />future building potentials. One is an extension of the garage/office that was just <br />completed. The other area is an extension of the "lower garage/cold storage" building for <br />warehousing inventory. With the possible addition of these two buildings, there is no <br />other room for expansion. As our organization grows, we will need more room for <br />outside storage. We either provide this space on this site or utilize more of our space at <br />the West Substation adjacent to the City Street Department complex. For efficiency, <br />having more storage at the plant site is more desirable. <br />The question at hand is do we want to purchase the three residences to the north of our <br />plant facility. The residence on the corner is currently for sale. The status of the <br />McGibbon residence is in question. The pro's and con's of purchasing this property are <br />as follows: <br />Pro's <br />1) Provide for future expansion opportunities at the plant facility. <br />2) Resolve fence issue with McGibbon property. (ERMU is <br />encroaching on the McGibbon property with his permission. He <br />was drafting an agreement but was never completed). <br />3) Property could be rented until such time it became necessary to use. <br />
