CITY OF SHAKOPEE Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: Kris Wilson, Assistant City Administrator��,�,�� SUBJECT: Results of RFP on Former Fire Station DATE: August 3, 2012 Action Requested The Council is asked to listen to two presentations and provide feedback on the desired next steps regarding the former fire station building. Background Constructed in 1955, the old downtown fire station sits at the corner of 2°d and Scott St and has housed both the Public Works Department and the Fire Department over the years. It has a total of 10,816 square feet, of which approximately 30% is finished and 70% is unfinished garage or warehouse space. An appraisal of the building completed in the fall of 2011, put an estimated value of$580,000 on the property. At its March 20 meeting, the Council directed that a Request for Proposals (RFP) be issued seeking proposals for potential future uses of the former downtown fire station, including proposals for purchase or lease of the property for use by businesses, individuals, or non-profit organizations, as well as for proposals for future community uses in which the City might continue ownership and/or operating involvement. The deadline for responding to the RFP was July 30 and two proposals were received by this date. The first proposes a Cultural Community Center, with the building to be updated, owned and maintained by the City. The second proposal was submitted by a start-up business interested in purchasing or leasing the building. The authors of both proposals have been invited to make presentations to the City Council at this meeting. Staff has reviewed both proposals. After the Council has heard from both speakers, I would be happy to provide an overview of staff's analysis if desired. Requested Action There is no specific requested or recommended action at this time other than for Council to provide direction to staff in regards to desired next steps. Proposal for Use: Downtown Fire Station Building 334 Second Avenue West Shakopee, Minnesota 55379 Who We Are: Shakopee Brewing Company 14871 Oakborough Drive Savage, Minnesota 55378 952-452-1045 Shakopee Brewing Company was registered with the state of Minnesota on July l lth, 2012. We are a small brewing company that will produce only the highest quality beer using recipes our region will identify with. Our current plans are to produce 2,000 barrels of beer annually to start with, starting in OS/Ol/13 and we are in the process of procuring necessary equipment. The company was founded and will be run by individuals who are either from Shakopee or a surrounding community in Scott County. We have strong ties in the community and would like to strengthen our relationship by locating our operation in downtown Shakopee. Therefore, we would like to pursue a purchase or lease of the Fire Station building located on Second Ave West. We believe through our strong business practices and the production of only the highest quality product, we will draw visitors looking for a unique experience. We plan on providing tours and tastings and hosting social and fundraising events for area organizations that share our values. These plans will benefit the downtown area through increased traffic and potential customers for surrounding businesses. In conclusion we are individuals from here and identify with this area and would like to see the values and traditions of the area continue and grow. We are very dedicated to the preservation of a downtown district in Shakopee and will demonstrate this in our maintenance and upkeep of the building and by locating our business in this building, we hope to add a new tradition and demonstrate our long term commitment to the area.

SECTION 1.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND & STATEMENT OF INTENT ................................................................................................................................. SECTION 1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND The Shakopee Fire Department was originally founded in 1883 as a volunteer-based operation. The fire department evolved into a paid-on-call department of 46 trained firefighters serving the City of Shakopee and neighboring Jackson and Louisville Townships. The expansive department maintains two fire stations and a mod- ern fleet of equipment, allowing structure and resources to provide fire suppression services, rescue & emergency medical assistance, as well as fire prevention & education services to our community. A need for escalated support and function allowed the Shakopee Fire Department the opportunity to expand into newer, updated fire houses. This expansion which created Fire Station #1 and later Fire Station #2 left open the space in the old Fire Station #2 on Street, a vital component of our downtown platform. SECTION 1.2 STATEMENT OF INTENT River Valley Copperative Arts advises to maintain the life and learn- ing assimilated with that of the old Shakopee Fire Station #2 by converting the premises into one flexible-use community cultural space. This would stimulate economic and social revitalization to a failing neighborhood by building and cultivating an arts district destination location. Working with other area businesses to spark conversation and expand goals, we have vision for long-range city planning aspirations to create a downtown that people want to visit and enjoy. �jZI��(; RIVERVALLEY SHAKOPEE CULTURAL CENTER llcl 1 COOPERATIVE ARTS o�.2�.�0�� }= >� ti c�€= � � SECTION 2.0 PROJECT GOALS, RECOMMENDATIONS & SCHEDULE ................................................................................................................................. SECTION 2.1 PROJECT GOALS GOAL 1: CREATE A SPACE THAT IS FLEXIBLE, DISTINCTIVE AND COMPLEMENTARY TO OUR COMMUNITY. The space will complement existing community surroundings such as Eagle Creek Quilt Shop while maintaining a distinctive personality; The space will take full advantage of the flexibility offered by maximizing the existing design. Easily added to or further modified over time without major redesigns to interfaces; Design the space with thought and vision of flexible elements for future growth patterns, using the "pave the path" strategy (build the facilities and allow the people to determine what is most required by the community. GOAL 2: PROMOTE AND STIMULATE DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION. Attract residential and tourist traffic downtown through local and county-wide events, education opportunities and rentable flexible use space; Spark creative, scalable, sustainable reuse of public and private equity along the First Avenue corridor; Showcase unique area talent and culture that make Shakopee special; Better compete for new and permanent residents and businesses by offering a quality of life metric found in other communities; Build strong partnerships with other public and private sector entities as a creative resource; Ensure that Shakopee taxpayers receive the maximum benefits of their portion of the Minnesota Legacy Fund over the next 20+ years. If we don't use it. Another community will.

SECTION 2.1 PROJECT GOALS (cont.) GOAL 3: ENABLE EASE OF USE FOR ALL CONSTITUENCIES MAKING THE SPACE WELCOMING, ACCESSIBLE AND SOCIALLY ENGAGING. Offer a safe and healthy environment where residents can pursue active and quality transformative opportunities, creatively. Look beyond the walls of the Fire Station seeking opportunities to aesthetically improve the area and creatively engage residents through community mural projects, public art, and mobile art experiences. SECTION 2.2 PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS To meet the goals outlined by the project, we believe the City of Shakopee should consider the following: Highlight the dynamic urban setting of art in the heart of the city; Take advantage of the forward-thinking atmosphere of the city and vested interest groups, while still remaining friendly for the widest possible audience; Place greater emphasis on the experience of downtown Shakopee; Effectively showcase the stories and people who make our city unique. j�'ZIj� � RIVERVALLEY SHAKOPEE CULTURAL CENTER llcl 1 COOPERATIVEARTS o�.��.�oi� � :�t;��,.; :; t�; ;� � SECTION 2.0 PROJECT GOALS, RECOMMENDATIONS & SCHEDULE ................................................................................................................................. SECTION 2.2 PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS (cont.) We recommend that the City of Shakopee create a sub page on the city website to present a visual message of the cultur- al center. This page will show progressive, modern, sophisti- cated forward-thinking, while focusing on the diverse groups of people who use the space. The pages will be informa- tional, and images will be powerful and consistently treated throughout the page. All of this will incorporate the current branding standards (logos and colors) already developed for the City of Shakopee. Arts education programs, events, rent- al opportunities, artists-led blogs and artwork will be high- lighted, and possibly referenced throughout the site to build credibility generate discussion and interest.

RIVERVALLEY SHAKOPEE CULTURAL CENTER �c �OOPERATIVE ARTS 07.27.2012 � =� `�.: � �� SECTION 3.0 MARKET ANALYSIS ................................................................................................................................. SECTION 3.3 OPPORTUNITIES LOCATION Shakopee is an existing resource destination for many Western Scott County and Southeastern Carver County communities. None of which have established cultural engagement or educa- tion opportunity. The number of Shakopee area resident artists who travel in excess of 25 miles for cultural education and en- gagement reflect the potential to attract artists from these com- munities. Shakopee is lucky to have one of the highest volume of tourists in the metro area. All of these opportunities happen on the out- skirts of town. Establishing a cultural community center in down- town Shakopee would be another way to not only draw more of these visitors to our downtown area and businesses, but to draw art and cultural businesses to the area, potentially creating a Shakopee Arts District resulting in even more of a draw. GROWING SHAKOPEE ARTS SCENE The Scott County Art Crawl in its third year, and it is not surpris- ing that the largest population of artists on the crawl reside in Shakopee. The River Valley Theater Company has been selling out shows of The Wizard of Oz to rave reviews. They are looking to expand into smaller experiences such as improv performances and classes. The success of businesses such as the Eagle Creek Quilt Shop, Shakopee Trading Post, First Avenue Framing, and Tupelo De- sign show that the arts are alive and thriving in Downtown Sha- kopee. ��l�( RIVERVALLEY SHAKOPEE CULTURAL CENTER cl 1� CODPERATIVEARTS o�•��•�a�� I �� _� �� SECTION 3.0 MARKET ANALYSIS ................................................................................................................................. SECTION 3.3 OPPORTUNITIES (cont.) GROUPS WITH NEEDS Arts focused students - Scott County schools and communi- ties provide plenty of extracurricular athletic opportunities to '"� it outh and ver little o ortunit to those with artistic as- �.„,. � Y Y p p Y r. pirations. When the Enigma space is transitioned, this could -�� be a great opportunity to start over with a teen engagement t� '�` program fueled by the knowledge of what has worked and - ;� � what hasn't worked. 1,�;;.�:, ��` � '° A �� Ethnic communities - The incredible diversity of Shakopee � '°1' `'� has no community center in which to gather, to share their �'`�� -�,' �� cultures. Additionally we've heard from ethnic community R i,�{;'' � �;� 1 leaders of the difficulty in providing positive youth alterna- � �.,, �t_�� tives and retaining area role models. � . :.�.. r� Seniors - Area seniors are looking for a space with more per- �- manence than their current arrangement of having to cart all of their supplies around with them. They are also looking for '�1�� 9�+� /� � _ opportunities to learn and teach especially for the men in the I �� a �`'=��,-=� group who have fewer opportunities. ` ' � � � At-risk teens and adults - Art is a great tool for rehabilita- � tion. With the rise of teen addiction in Shakopee, the cul- �! =, '� �e, tural center would be a healthy constructive environment for {i change. Groups such as the VA are using art and music in- struction as a way to help returning vets re-acclimate. The � �r. Prior Lake chapter of Beyond The Yellow Ribbon, a return- •�-� ing vets organization, has expressed need for such a posi- "�� tive environment for counseling and rehabilitation for Scott County's proportionately high population of vets.

SECTION 4.1 STAGED DEVELOPMENT In order to grow in a healthy and efficient manner, given the various outside groups who have expressed interest in a cultural commu- nity center, we suggest a tiered approach to the development of the project STAGE 1 - OPEN Building opens as three components. The existing commu- nity room, The north bay is a bare bones community cul- ture education and gallery space. The South Bay is a large flexible use space for larger community cultural gatherings, rental shows and events. STAGE 2 - ADAPTATION As the project qualifies for grants and the donor and mem- ber base grows, the north bays begin to segment based on the needs of the participants. A division between gallery and studio develops, The bay doors are replaced with windows. The north bays also evolve. Improved HVAC and smaller pur- posed use spaces based on community utilization start to take shape. STAGE 2 - FINISH Final touches to the building and facilities don't happen until we are proof positive of the utilization of the South bay space.

SECTION 5.1 INCOME SOURCE PROJECTION As shown in Section 4.1, we recommend a staged approach to developing the project for a couple of reasons. First, as the building would be held by the city, the initial upgrades for Stage 1 should be handled by the city who would retain the equity of the improved property should plans for its usage change in the future. Second, there are art grants which cannot be used for Stage 1 but can help us in the planning, development and implementation of Stage 2 and Stage 3. As there are more groups actively involved in the space, new opportunities for income will present themselves as well. While the volume of income will vary greatly from stage to stage, we envision the breakdown of funding to look like this: Stage 1 - Open � . . - . - Stage 2 - Adaptation � . . - . - - Stage 3 - Finish � . . - . - - - �ZI�a( RIVERVALLEY SHAKOPEE CULTURAL CENTER c1 1� COOPERATIVE AR7S o�.z�.�o�� v ��: .� E r SECTION 5.0 INCOME, FUNDRAISING & GRANTS .................................................................................................................................
