Home My WebLink About4. Request by Scott County Historical Society for Facade Improvements Loan CITY OF SHAKOPEE Memorandum CASE NO.: 08-057 TO: Economic Development Authority Mark McNeill, Executive Director FROM: R. Michael Leek, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Request of Scott County Historical Society for Facade Improvement Loan MEETING DATE: March 17, 2009 INTRODUCTION: The City received the attached application for a loan under the Downtown and First Avenue Fa<;ade Improvement Loan Program. The EDA is asked to direct staff whether to prepare a loan agreement for up to 50% of the fa9ade improvement costs for this project. DISCUSSION: Scott County Historical Society, 235 Fuller Street South, proposes renovation of the Stans Museum building that includes scraping, sanding and painting of windows, doorways, siding and the porch area. The renovation is intended to preserve the building's historical appearance. The total estimated costs ofthese improvements are $2,540.00. . The FILP provides for loans up to one-half the cost of improvements or a maximum of $25,000 per project. In this case, one-half of the cost would equal $1, 270.00. The Council reviewed this project at their January 20, 2009 meeting, but voted to continue the discussion on this item to allow staff and the applicant additional time to address a few concerns. One of the concerns was whether the request was for maintenance work, and whether the EDA should fund maintenance work; the concern being that the loan would provide a benefit to Scott County, thus the County should fund the entire cost of the work. Staff has noted that previous loans have included work, such as brick tuckpointing, that could also be viewed as maintenance, but has been viewed as fundable because it preserves the integrity of the structure and its materials. Kathy Klehr, Executive Director of the Scott County Historical Society and applicant, has commented that the work outlined in the application would preserve the integrity of the museum structure. She added that on each side of the structure, raw wood is exposed to the elements; that removing flaking paint, sanding and repairing damaged wood, and resealing with proper paint preserves the building structure; and that particular attention is needed on the wood above the porch, and the front door, which have been damaged from exposure to the elements. She noted that the house is 100 years old and that these measures will help to preserve the structure for future use. In a response to the question as to whether the Scott County Historical Society's portion of the funding comes from its budget, and not directly from Scott County, the applicant has replied that the Scott County Historical Society is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and is not a Scott County entity. The matching portion of the funding for this project comes from the Scott County Historical Society budget. Additionally, the applicant noted that the Scott County Historical Society's facade application stressed the need to scrape and paint the Stans Museum and seal the front door. As previously mentioned, raw wood is exposed on all sides of the house - in particular above the front porch. The work outlined in the application preserves the integrity of the structure - it seals and preserves the structure. Additionally (and this work was H:\CC\2009\03-17\08057 EDA SCHS.docx 1 not included in the facade application, but the applicant would like to have it considered), the house is in need of gutter/downspout extensions, repair to the west gable ridge roofing, and flashing strips under the first few layers of shingles. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Offer and pass a motion directing staff to prepare a loan agreement for fac;ade improvements not to exceed $1,270.00 for the Stans Museum, owned by Scott County Historical Society at 235 Fuller Street South. 2. Deny the request for Downtown and River Corridor Fac;ade Improvement Loan funds. 3. Table the request for additional information. DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: On Wednesday, December 17,2008, the president of the Downtown Partnership, Mike Beard, and the chair of the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee, Jay Whiting, met with Community Development staff to review this FILP application. After discussion, the committee recommended making a loan for the fac;ade improvements for Scott County Historical Society. RELATIONSHIP TO CITY GOALS: This item relates to Goal D.: vibrant, resilient and stable ACTION REQUESTED: Offer and pass a motion directing staffto prepare a loan agreement under the Fac;ade Improvement Loan Program for fac;ade improvements not to exceed $1,270.00 for the Stans Museum, owned by Scott County Historical Society at 235 Fuller Street South, as recommended by the design review committee. ddr;r~~ R.
