Michael Leek, Community Development Director Request of Hennen's Shell Auto Center for Downtown and First Avenue Corridor Commercial Site Improvement Loan Program (DFACCSILP) funding for interior office remodeling for the property at 807 1st Avenue East. INTRODUCTION: The EDA first considered this application on June 21, 2011. The request was tabled to July 5, 2011 in order to obtain additional information about the following questions; 1. What are the payback terms of loans under this program? Under the loan agreement which has been used for all the previous facade loans, the loan is a deferred loan. That means that payments are not made on the loan unless the property owner conveys the property before five years from the date the loan is made. If they own the property for five years, the loan essentially becomes a grant. In the event they convey before five years, owners are responsible to repay 20% of the value of the loan for each year prior to five years that a sale occurs. 2. What previous loans have been made, and specifically, for which businesses have more than one loan been made? Following is a list of facade loans made between 2006 and 2011; Riverfront Printing (awning with signage): Hennen's Shell (facade finishes): Karizma (awning with signage: Scott Co. Historical Society (Stans Home Improvements): El Toro (Signage and exterior materials): Valley Sports: Bill's Toggery ( Signage): 3. From what fund would additional funds come? This fund would be replenished from the revolving loan fund, code 2071. $850.00 $5,581.50 $7,013.79 $1,270.00 $16,804.00 2@a total of $2135.50 $1,835.00 4. What is the timetable for the proposed work? Project manager Mark Noble visited the site last week, and noted that work had begun on the site. H : \CC\2011 \07- 05\EDA Hennens Shell 07052011.docx 1 DISCUSSION REGARDING THE HENNENS APPLICATION: The City received the attached application for a loan under the Downtown and First Avenue Corridor Facade Improvement Loan Program. Hennen's Shell Auto Center is proposing to remodel the office area of their building. The request included a number of proposed improvements, as noted below: 1. Electrical: 2. Plumbing: 3. New Flooring: 4. Shelving, Coolers: 5. Counter, Counter top: 6. Camera system: 7. Door, Windows: 8. Framing, Finish work: 9. Concrete Work (inc. hdcp. ramp): 10. Insulation: 11. Painting: Total: $9,850.00 $16,155.00 $12,500.00 $10,900.00 $18,500.00 $5,922.00 $4,164.00 $8,500.00 $5,000.00 $1,500.00 $1,500.00 $94,491.00 The EDAC recently recommended that the loan program be expanded to include interior work, as well as other site improvements. The EDA is asked to direct staff whether to prepare a loan agreement for the subject project. In this case, 50% of the total project cost would equal $47,245.50. The total maximum for any one loan is $25,000.00, however, at this time there is a balance of $20,080.00. Thus, if the EDA wished to approve the maximum loan for this project it would need to also direct staff to transfer funds from one of the other EDA funds. Also, if the EDA approves the present request, it would deplete this loan fund, and the EDA should provide direction as to whether to transfer any additional funds from other EDA accounts. If this is not done, staff will not actively market the loan program unless and until the program is replenished. RELATIONSHIP TO CITY GOALS: This item relates to Goal B. Positively manage the challenges and opportunities presented by growth, development and change. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Offer and pass a motion to allow improvements to Hennen's Shell as noted above, as part of the Downtown and First Avenue Corridor Commercial Site Improvement Loan Program, and direct staff to prepare a loan agreement for building interior improvements not to exceed $25,000.00 for Hennen's Shell Auto Center at 807 1st Avenue East. 2.
