Title:
Consider Purchase of Property Located at 8175 Riverdale Drive, Ramsey, MN.
Purpose/Background:
Purpose:
The purpose of this case is to consider the purchase of property located at 8175 Riverdale Drive (formerly known as Quality RV) for the intended use as the City of Ramsey Utility Department facility.
Background:
Over the past several months city staff/council have been discussing potential options for interim locations for public works operations, until a permanent PW campus can be designed and built.
The purpose of this case is to consider the purchase of property located at 8175 Riverdale Drive (formerly known as Quality RV) for the intended use as the City of Ramsey Utility Department facility.
Background:
Over the past several months city staff/council have been discussing potential options for interim locations for public works operations, until a permanent PW campus can be designed and built.
Notification:
None needed at this time.
Observations/Alternatives:
Recently staff has been focusing on two locations, as possible relocation sites for public works operations, until a permanent facility can be built. The two locations are 8175 Riverdale Drive, which was the former home of Quality RV, and 13601 Tungsten Street the former warehouse facility for Grosslein Beverage. Both facilities were toured by city staff and could be used for short term storage needs. Neither property is available for lease. The following are some observations of both sites:
Property located at 13601 Tungsten Street (former Grosslein Beverage)
Pros
1. The building is approximately 61,000,square feet, which is more than adequate for our current needs.
2. Moving the utility department to this location would free up space in our existing location
3.The extension of Riverdale Drive frontage road to the east would be easier if the City controlled the site, and was willing to raze the building and clear the site for the roadway and redefelopment.
4. The site would make a good redevelopment parcel with good visability and access to Highway 10.
5. Redevelopment of this site would achieve our goal to clean up neighborhoods, corridors and key nodes. This is the gateway to the community.
Cons
1. Building location is adjacent to a residential neighborhood, which is not ideal, due to the sometimes irregular work hours of Public Works operations.
2. Though the building is large, it has numerous support poles that would make maneuvering large equipment in the building troublesome.
3. Floor drains are limited and and additional drains would be needed.
4. There is no office space provided in the building, and that would need to be built-out.
5. Staff would have to cross Hwy 10 numerous times a day causing delays in operations.
6. The property is listed at $2.7million.
7. Currently the property pays $68,000.00 in property taxes. If the city were to purchase the property it would become tax-exmpt.
8. The property has been on the market for several years. When the PW department moves to its final location, resale of the property could be difficult, and demoltion for redevelopment would be expensive.
Property located at 8175 Riverdale Drive (former Quality RV)
Pros
1. Moving the utility department functions to this location would free up space for our traffic engineering operations at our existing location.
2. Property is located in a commercial area away from residential properties.
3. Property is located next to the Armstrong Interchange making access to the northern part of town convenient.
4. Building contains more than adequate office space for staff
5.Currently the building is owned by Anoka County and is tax exempt, so purchase by the city would not
effect the property tax roll.
6. Building is a more realistic size, for the utility department operation.
7.When the Utility Department moved back to the new PW facility, staff believes that the site and smaller size of this facility offer better resale or development opportunities.
8. Interior remodeling would be performed by City staff.
9. The property is currently appraised at $615K, without the sewer connection.
Cons
1. Sewer and water utilities would need to be connected to the building. Estimated cost $23K
2. There are no existing floor drains in the garage area, drains would need to be installed.

5. Staff would have to cross Hwy 10 numerous times a day causing delays in operations.
