Facade Improvement Application -Ravassipour(Presented by Humphrey) Community Development Director Tom Humphrey presented the Commission with a building façade improvement grant for 55 and 57 N. 2nd Street. The applicant is proposing to remove and dispose of a rock wall, remove existing turn and shrubs, repaint the façade, install new landscape in the front of the building and repair portions of sidewalk. The work is estimated to cost $8,693. The East Pine Street Building Façade grant program covers 50% of qualifying expenses with a maximum of$10,000. The program has sufficient funds for the request. He is bringing this request to the Commission because it is outside the original scope of the program. The façade is not on Pine Street and the program has never been asked to help with landscaping. There was discussion regarding the location of the property not being located on East Pine, but it is now a visible location because of the new light signal on Pine Street. Landscaping has not been requested before because the properties on Pine do not have landscapes. It was discussed that we could update the program to include properties that are on the side blocks along Pine Street. The intent of the program is to encourage businesses in the downtown area to improve their facades. As businesses on Pine Street improve, businesses on the side streets see those improvements and may want to make their buildings look better. It is up to the Commission if we want to encourage improvements for buildings that are not facing Pine Street. At this time the Commission was in favor of the façade improvement, but not comfortable applying the grant program to landscape items listed on the 2nd and 3rd Invoices. Michael Parsons moved to approve the first invoice for the Façade Improvement Application for 55 and 57 N. 2nd Street.
