3 26 TH ST/OLD DOMINION DR. TASK FORCE 3

4 26 O/D Task Force Charge Through a collaborative process, the 26/OD Task Force will develop a Master Plan for the existing County-owned parcels that, at a minimum, would provide for the future needs of the services and functional components listed below: 1. Winter Storm Response Services: Salt storage capacity of 6,000T Shift Change Operations Building Parking for staff/personnel vehicles 2. (Seasonal) Mulch Distribution and Leaf Storage 3. The Donaldson Run Trail Head: Not suitable for relocation 4. Public Space/Park: Green space or park, preferably with street frontage Additionally, the 26/OD Task Force will evaluate: Other possible public facility, operational and/or other uses that shall be identified by JFAC that could be compatible uses with those discussed above Locations for appropriate visual, light, or noise screening or buffer treatments Note: Task Force chair has already reached out to an affordable housing developer and Marymount University (field space) as other potential uses that may be considered 4

5 Meeting the 26 O/D Task Force Charge Purpose of Tonight's Meeting: Identify public uses that could be compatible with the key uses designated in the 26 O/D charge. Next Steps: The 26 O/D Task Force will examine how the uses identified by JFAC may fit within the constraints of the site and whether they may be accommodated within a recommended master plan. This process will also apply to any other uses identified by the Task Force or by other stakeholders (i.e. affordable housing) 5

6 26 O/D Task Force Process The 26/OD Task Force is comprised of citizen and County Commission stakeholders Robust and inclusive civic engagement process Final Report submitted to County Board prior to June 30, 2019 The Task Force will meet with County Staff and Design Team biweekly (Nov 2018 April 2019) County staff will be supported by consultant design team 6

7 LONG TERM NEEDS FOR 26 O/D SITE 7

8 Long-Term County Operational Needs Primary Objective: To improve effectiveness and efficiency of County services in the most environmentally and community sensitive manner feasible. 1. Continuation of Leaf Storage and Mulch Distribution 2. Enhancement of Winter Storm Response Facility a. Reduce deadhead time during treatment b. Enable faster completion of snow and ice clearing or treatment (gain may vary by storm event) c. Chain shop keeps trucks operational 3. Address current site deficiencies including zoning setbacks, appropriate screening and buffers relative to adjacent uses 8
