New maintenance buildings planned for Alpine

By Linda Petersen
The Alpine City Council has approved the site plan for a parks maintenance building to be constructed at 545 E. 300 North. The city held a charette (a planning session where residents and staff work together on a concept) on Dec. 6 to receive input from the neighboring residents. Just one resident attended. Another sent an email.
City staff incorporated the residents' suggestions into their proposal, which includes recessing the building into the natural grade to minimize building height, providing a sloped roof to fit in with adjacent residential homes, and erecting an 8-foot-high masonry fence around the structure and adjacent area.
The approval included a recommendation by the planning commission that street access will be widened to two lanes from the road to the parking lot.
Since then the council has reviewed four design options for the building and on Feb. 14 approved a concept that includes a hip roof with concrete masonry unit facing. The city is currently reviewing plans with local architects.
The council has also approved construction of a 30-foot by 30-foot steel salt shed to be constructed on the southwest corner of the public works lot. The structure, which will be designed for the possibility of future addition of doors, will be constructed with a 6-inch-thick floor reinforced with rebar. It will have a 10-foot setback from the property line. The cost for the structure is $9,582.
