The action did not Bob Loso include grant disbursement. Please find attached invoices total > $4,000 for the placement of Renee Symanietz faux windows and landscaping at Scenic Specialties. Dale Wick Action: EDA A MOTION is in order to approve a BFA disbursement request of$1,000 to Scenic Specialties. Doug Danielson Steve Frank Larry Hosch Gary Osberg Dale Wick 13 BFA—Scenic Specialties. Chairperson Wick introduced the agenda item noting Scenic Specialties, at 31101 County Road 133, submitted an application for a BFA Grant in the amount of$1000 for the installation of faux windows and an exterior fireplace. The EDA reviewed the application in August and approved $550 or one-half the estimated $1,160 for faux windows. Randy Schmitz was present and noted he has changed the scope of the project. Rather than request the funds for the proposed outdoor fireplace he noted he is proposing to add 5%"wide flower boxes below the faux windows. He will have seasonal plants in these. The estimated cost of the flower boxes is$900. He asked the EDA to reconsider funding for the revised project scope of the faux windows and window boxes, which has a total project cost of$2,060. The Commission concurred this modification was more in line with the goals and policies of the BFA program. Commissioner Hosch arrived at 5:23 p.m. BFA-Mill Stream Villages. Chairperson Wick introduced the agenda item noting Mill Stream Cottages has applied for a BFA Grant to a proposed free standing sign, with a total estimated cost of $1080. Colleen Hollinger Petters, Collegeville Comp. was present. She noted that she had reviewed the BFA Guidelines and noted that projects must be commercial in nature. She indicated that the cottages will be a cluster of eight homes with on-site services 24 hours per day and is commercial in nature. The cottages constitute 1/3 of the project. The Commission discussed the iocation of the project. Wick noted another BFA grant was awarded outside the downtown in the past. The Commission also discussed the project and its mixed use, noting the BFA guidelines do not currently address mixed use projects. Hosch inquired how the proposed project goes above and beyond the normal requirements for a sign,as the purpose of the grant program is to enhance projects. Hollinger Petters stated the style of the sign and the landscaping are above basic requirements. There will not be additional sign lighting as it is under a streetlight. Motion by Skahen, seconded by Frank to approve up to $554 or 50% of the cost of the sign for Mill Stream Cottages, contingent upon the issuance of a sign permit and copy of the invoice. Motion carried 5-0. BFA—Kay's Kitchen. Chairperson Wick introduced the agenda item noting Kay's Kitchen, 303 College Avenue North has submitted an application for a BFA Grant in the amount of$1000 for a mural estimated to cost$2,950.
