<br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Member Cords asked the last time the building was used for commercial or other official purposes. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan commented that he was unsure but believes perhaps <br />the 1980s. <br /> <br />Member Riley asked for information on parking and signage. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan replied that there are some parking spaces on site and <br />cross easement agreements likely would be used for shared parking. He noted that the business <br />would start with night and weekend hours, which would be generally different than the hours of <br />the bank and daycare. He stated that a sign could not be hung on the building but there is great <br />visibility from Highway 47 and a standing monument sign could be placed out front to advertise <br />the business. <br /> <br />Member Cords asked if there would be rules as to how the building could be used/restored because <br />it is a historical site. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan commented that the building could be used for any <br />purpose but confirmed that there are some regulations that would apply to renovations as outlined <br />in the RCP report. <br /> <br />Chairperson Steffen commented that he did not recall an EDA case in 2018 to repair the roof and <br />asked why that was done, and why only that was done. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan commented that case did not come before the EDA and <br />only went to the City Council. He stated that the roof repairs were identified in the RCP report <br />and if it were not repaired, the building would not have made it because of the poor condition. <br /> <br />Member Olson asked the estimated length of the renovation. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan was unsure of the length of time, noting that the repairs <br />are not that significant. He stated that the length would be dependent on contractor availability. <br />He stated that staff would need to do some research in terms of paint color palette acceptable for <br />renovation standards. <br /> <br />Chairperson Steffen asked if the business owner is aware of the timeline and is okay with that. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan confirmed that the business owner is aware it will take <br />time to make the improvements. He noted that the business is currently online, and the owner likes <br />this location and building and is willing to follow the timeline of the City. <br /> <br /> <br />Economic Development Authority/ June 10, 2021 <br />Page 2 of 6 <br /> <br />
