Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: APRIL 19, 2004 10C DONALD RYE, PLANNING DIRECTOR AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION APPROVING GRANT OF FA<;ADE IMPROVEMENT FUNDS FOR JOHN R. CASEY dba VIKING LIQUOR DISCUSSION: History In 2002, the City'Council authorized the use of up to $150,000 from Downtown TIP accounts to fund a fa~ade improvement program in the Downtown area. An additional $100,000 was recently authorized by the Council as the original $150,000 was nearly gone and the program has sparked considerable storefront renovation in the Downtown area. The Council has already approved grants for 6 properties in the Downtown and two applications are in hand. An additional Downtown business has expressed strong interest in the program as well. To date, a total of $141,565 in grants have been authorized by the Council. The balance remaining is $108,435. Current Circumstances Mr. Casey has submitted plans and a $21,000.00 cost estimate for the proposed fa9ade improvement. The improvements consist of a new window on the north side of the building and a stone wainscot on the north and east sides of the building. The stone will match that being applied to the Ace Hardware building adjacent to Viking Liquor and the two projects will be done concurrently. The Tactical Action Plan portion of the 2020 Vision contains an item that says "Work with identified businesses to complete fa~ade improvements". This application is in direct support of that element. Issues The primary issue is whether the Council wishes to provide the requested assistance which, in this case, will total $10,500. The second issue deals with cost increases. As part of the procedural review directed by the Council at the April 5th meeting, staff is suggesting that increases in proj ect costs could be approved by staff up to a maximum of a 20% increase or an additional $2,100.00. Of course, the $25,000 L:\Community Dev\downtown facade-casey cc report41~.citYofpriorlake.com Phone 952.447.4230 / Fax 952.447.4245 ALTERNATIVES: RECOMMENDED MOTION: REVIEWED BY: maximum per property could not be exceeded.
