CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL TO WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION INDICATING CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON'S INTENT TO OPT OUT FROM FUTURE OAK GROVE LANDFILL TRUST LmGATION. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. Public Hearine: - None Council Business Fulton presented information regarding potential construction of a third floor on the Family Service Center. The Council previously approved the construction of the 72,000 sq. ft. two-story facility designed to accommodate a potential 17,200 sq. ft. third floor area. The additional square footage would result in a 89,200 sq. ft. building. The construction of this footage would cost approximately $700,000 and require $500,000 to finish the space for tenancy. Fulton noted that these figures are conceptual and may be less at the final design stage. The possible amount of net area to lease would vary between 80-85% resulting in rental space of 13,760 sq. ft. Based on budget assumptions, the building would need to demand first year square footage rents between $12.73-$16.36. Because of the status of the facility's construction, there may never be a better time than now to construct the third floor. Any rental rates would cover the cost of the third floor, utilities and operational costs. At this time, the Mounds View School District does not have interest in expanded space. Because of opinions expressed by private developers supporting the third floor, staff has requested Towle Realty to perform a mini market study to inventory current occupancy rates of facilities within the New Brighton market. Fulton noted that the one difficulty in the decision to move forward is that there is no current tenant identified for this space. Scenario A assumes that the City would commence repayment on the debt service in 1995. Based on budget assumptions, the building would need to demand first year square footage rents between $12.73 to $16.36. Under this scenario, the breakeven point would be $16.36 per sq. ft. Scenario B assumes that locating tenants may take time and there would be an attempt to defer some of the debt service costs until a later date. Based upon budget requirements, a $12.00 per sq. ft. rental rate would equal about 78% of the building to be occupied in Year 1 in order for the project to be successful. Projecting ahead, rental rates of $16.26 per sq. ft. would be required in Year 1996.
