In terms of the physical improvements a LCDA award would fund, these are elements that "elevate a development project beyond a traditional project and enhance livability through project outcomes." (Additional eligibility detail is on page 6 of the first attachment.) At this stage of planning, staff is envisioning a concept plan submittal that describes the following: • Wider sidewalks along both Sunwood Drive and Center Street (associated with the apartment(s) and hotel) • A public/private plaza at the intersection of Sunwood and Center Street (associated with the hotel) • A public plaza associated with pumphouse (at 145th Ave) • Photo voltaic panels on the pumphouse (which would power the irrigation system for the park) • Significant stormwater infrastructure in all of the above areas, which would capture water to be routed to Municipal Plaza for storage and reuse for irrigation. The present estimate for the above improvements is +/- $1.5 million, with approximately 70 to 80 percent of this amount relating to the stormwater capture and reuse components. Funding Source: No funding is being authorized as part of this case consideration. Upon subsequent action by City Council to formally apply for LCDA funding, and then after successful award, improvements may be authorized in 2020-2023. This could include associated work for sidewalk/streetscape along Sunwwod Drive/Center Street, the Pumphouse corner and Municipal Plaza —with each element having a companion funding source, E.g. Center Street, with contributions paid for by developers, Park Trust Fund for the park etc.. Recommendation: Staff recommends submittal of a concept plan to progress towards a LCDA funded grant. Action: Motion to authorize Staff to submit a Preliminary Concept Plan to the Metropolitan Council related to a potential Livable Communities Grant.
