Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREP ARED BY: JANUARY 5, 2004 llB DONALD RYE, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PAYMENT OF FA<;ADE IMPROVEMENT FUNDS TO CARLSON HARDWARE COMPANY DISCUSSION: History In 2002, the City Council authorizes the use of up to $150,000 from Downtown TIF Account funds to fund a fayade improvement prograI11 for the area covered by the Downtown zoning district. Since then, staff has worked with several Downtown businesses to implement the fayade improvement program. The use of these funds has already been approved for three Downtown businesses ( Little Lakers Montessori, Speiker building and The Hair Mate/Kapaun Realty buildings). The aI110unts dedicated to each project are $33,000 to Little Lakers, $25,000 to Speiker Company mld $5,000 to Harry Tupy for a total of $63,000. This leaves a balance of $87,000 that is available for fayade improvements. If this request is approved, the balance available will be reduced to $62,000. Current Circumstances Carlson hardware has submitted an application for assistance from the fayade improvement prograI11. The estimated total cost of the project is $56,000. Program guidelines call for reimbursement of half the cost of the improvement up to a maximum of $25,000. In this case, half the project cost is $28,000 so the maximum reimbursement would be $25,000 Staff has reviewed the plans for the project and has determined the proposed improvements will meet the design criteria contained in the Downtown zoning district and are therefore eligible for fayade improvement funds. The project includes placement of a cultured stone wainscot along the lower portion of the building similar to that placed on the front of the Little Lakers building, covering the existing concrete block with stucco and adding raised rooflines at the corners of the building. The 2020 Vision and Strategic Plan contains a Vision Element called Downtown Redevelopment. The second item in this element is "Implement partnering prograI11 with Downtown businesses to L:\Community Dev\downtown facade-carlson cc report.~_iM900.a~lliW\1 facade\carlson ccreport.doc __.,,_.,~~___---'______.___..~._v~.,,_~_"_.~___._.___~.,._".~-'"-~" ~~,,---~-~.,-_._'.-"_."-"~'~'-'--~-'-'-~-~- Phone 952.447.4230 / Fax 952.447.4245 _.~..........-_..._---.~-"...~~"'....~.......-~-~---_., ',. AL TERNA TIVES: RECOMMENDED MOTION: REVIEWED BY: facilitate building fayade improvements," The Tactical Action Plan for 2004 to 2008 has two components directly related to this element. One is to "Identify businesses for fayade improvement" and the other is to "Wor1\: with identified businesses to complete fayade improvements." Clearly. the requested action in this case is directly related to, and in support of, these elements. Issues The primary issue here is whether the City Council wishes to provide the requested assistance. As noted above, the project is consistent with the 2020 Vision and Strategic Plan and complies with design guidelines for the Downtown. As noted above, if this project is approved, a total of $62,000 will remain available for fayade improvements. We have been contacted by Fongs, Viking Liquor, Extra hmings and Conoco who have expressed an interest in participating in the program. If all four parties applied for funds, the existing balance would, in all likelihood, be oversubscribed. The Council may wish to consider that Viking Liquor has not submitted an application at this time and staff has been unable to determine whether they intend to do so. Staff will continue to encourage Viking Liquor to make an application so the improvements to the two buildings are coordinated. However, Council may also wish to make approval of this request conditional upon receipt of an application from Viking Liquor. To date, none of the other requests has been so conditioned. Conclusion Staff has concluded the project for which assistance has been requested meets the applicable criteria and recommends approval of the requested funding. The City Council has the following alternatives: I. Approve the funding assistance as requested. 2. Approve a level of funding assistance different than the level requested. 3. Deny the request for funding assistance. 4. Continue this case to a date certain. Motion to approve attached resolution authorizing payment of fa<;ade improvement funds to Carlson's Ace hardware.
