SUMMARY STATEMENT:
On January 17th the Council and staff discussed in greater detail maximizing the use of City-owned land for proposed city facilities. Those include: 1) Fire Station; 2) City/Agency storage needs; 3) Police Impound/Storage Facility; and 4) Snow Storage.
Fire Station: The Council provided direction for an updated concept plan of the Fire Station on the Hospital property. The request included: a) elimination of the training areas at the site with the Fire Station, except the tower; b) identification of an out-of-town location for training needs; c) location of the Fire Station on the site that does not require relocation of the Karen Davey Stewart Memorial Community Garden. Jason Miles, Capital Facilities Director, worked with the Department Directors to develop a fifth concept for the property that includes the new Fire Station and tower, the Community Garden, the Dog Park (moved slightly),approximately one acre of snow removal area, and retains the Harborview Monument that has been in place since the mid 1960's. A copy of Concept 5 is attached for the Council's review and comment. Please note, this concept requires the relocation of the one-time proposed Assisted Living Facility that was identified in the Hospital Campus Master Plan. At the time the Master Plan was completed the Assisted Living Facility was determined not feasible. The likelihood of its development is questionable at best. This concept has been provided to the PVMC Administrator. However, it will also be brought before the Hospital Advisory Board for consideration in the very near future.
