The effort is framed in the context of a national renaissance in downtowns and re-emergence of traditional neighborhood design driven by a desire to reconnect with the building blocks of community including: shared history, hometown pride, and small town atmosphere. The project has been operational since 2005. One of the core principles of this effort has been and will continue to be this is a long-term endeavor that must be supported by the community and its leadership. Much progress has been made, but a greater portion of the effort remains. As you may be aware, the work group chairpersons discussed moving onto the next phase of this process. A celebration of progress was held and a downtown project work plan prioritization survey was mailed to all work group participants. Results of the survey centered on the following goals: / Installation of planters, benches and trees on both sides of the downtown streets. / Defining a small, public space possibly incorporating a fountain, an information kiosk, benches, small gathering space, and plantings to address the 'linger' deficit. Such an area could ~rovide a respite for shoppers, an area for picture-taking for weddings, public space for 4~ of July festivities/performances, and an area for holiday displays. The EDA has corresponded with Father Feders at the Church of St. Joseph regarding the second goal. Additional discussion is anticipated. PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS The EDA requests $20,000 in 2009 for the establishment of gathering space(s) within the downtown which may include: benches, a fountain, a kiosk, plantings, etc. The City Council approved $10,000 for 2009. PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS The EDA requests $35,000 in 2011 for the establishment of streetscape amenities linking the CBD/downtown to the Wobegon Trail Center. Such amenities may include common design elements, banners, directional signage, information displays, public art, and the like. PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS The EDA requests $30,000 in 2012 for initial costs associated with relocation of power/telephone cables. If relocation is not possible, identification of a more visually interesting treatment of overhead wire canopy. Remaining CIP funds would be used to being employing traffic calming devices at the intersection of College Avenue and Minnesota Street providing greater separation between pedestrians and motorists. PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS The EDA requests $30,000 in 2013 for the installation of a connection between both sides of Minnesota Street such as an arch over the alley between Loso's and the old First State Bank Building and a corresponding feature/arch across the street as envisioned by the Minnesota Design Team's visit many years ago.

The goal is to promote facade and public landscape improvments consistent with design guidelines approved by the City of St. Joseph in 2007. This project will be broken down by specific sections within the business districts. This will be an ongoing project. A detailed description is attached to this CIl' form.

The goal of the effort was to promote fagade and public landscape improvements consistent with design guidelines approved by the City in 2007. The BFA grant program currently provides matching funds up to $1,000 for reimbursement of architectural, drafting, or design services in conjunction with commercial exterior fagade improvements and/or landscaping viewed from public rights of way. The BFA grant has generated numerous requests for information, however, only two applications have been reviewed and approved thus far in 2008. Those inquiring about the BFA program indicate their interest would be stronger if the proceeds of the program could be used for actual fagade improvements versus architectural services. The EDA would like to convert the program to a matching grant (or loan) for actual fagade reconstruction costs, to a maximum of $2,000 per property owner (grant) .The focus of the program in 2009 would be within the Central Business District to leverage "Let's Go Downtown" efforts. PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS The EDA requests $10,000 in 2009 for redefinition of the BFA grant program. The CIP allocation would fund five (5) pilot projects. The City Council did not fund any fagade grants for 2009. In the event five pilot projects were not proposed for the downtown, the program could be expanded to include existing structures within the commercial area adjacent to Hwy. 75 or the industrial district. PURPOSE 8< BACKGROUND The purpose and background of this item is defined in Section 2 of the 2009 CIP request. The 2010 requested allocation would shift the program focus from the CBD to the Highway 75 Business District. The program would allow a matching grant for fagade reconstruction costs and/or installation of landscaping in areas visible from the public right of way. The maximum grant would be $2,000 per property owner. Program funds not used in the Highway 75 Business District would be offered to owners of industrial buildings or owners of business establishments in the CBD. PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS The EDA requests $10,000 in 2010 for the redefined BFA grant program. The CIP allocation would fund five (5) projects. PURPOSE ~ BACKGROUND The purpose and background of this item is defined in Section 2 of the 2009 CIP request. The 2011 requested allocation would shift the program focus from the CBD and Highway 75 Business District to industrial districts. The program would allow a matching grant for facade reconstruction costs and/or installation of landscaping in areas visible from the public right of way. The maximum grant would be $2,000 EDA-5 per property owner. Program funds not used in industrial areas would be offered to owners of business establishments within the CBD and the Highway 75 Business District.

The policy will result in vacancies in single family detached dwellings currently rented by college students. The City estimates in excess of 100 such units could become vacant. Several of the rental homes are clustered within the Central Business District. The Comprehensive Plan Update (currently on-going) is expected to embrace a need for additional parking and green space within the Central Business District. The pending rental home conversion appears to provide an opportunity for the City to obtain property for conversion to public parking and public parks/trails. PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS The EDA requests $30,000 in 2009 for: (a) identification of potential parcels suitable for public parking and/or park usage within the CBD, (b) creation of a public parking policy including funding of such a provision, and (c) purchase of first rights of refusal for properties if identified as crucial to the provision of public parking and/or park usage within the CBD. The City Council approved $10,000 for the downtown rental conversions. PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS The EDA requests $30,000 in 2010 for the purchase of property within the CBD for public parking purposes. PROPOSED PROJECT COSTS The EDA requests $15,000 in 2011 for the purchase of property within the CBD for public parking purposes.
