87-1475 � . ' r � • . ' . _ NPP app�ication Page 2 Project Name WI��D Rental Develoament , 4. Pro�ect .Description (continued) . � : The proposed program is a result of .the experience of our activities i s�n�ce January. Recently the Federation� bought its first house for $40I,000 when the sellers decided to decline a $48,OOO� investor offer. . The Federation and WIND neighborhood strongly believe that substandard � investor housing causes disinvestment throughout the community. Yet, current tax incentives regarding investor housing have been eliminated ' or r�educed, thus leaving an opening for the community to aggressively acq�ire substandard investor housing. For example, one investor on � ' : Goodrich Avenue has a duplex with one unit condemned and the second � uni� occupied by a Hmong family. He initially offered to sell the dup3;ex for $15,000. He has since then offered to sell �� the duplex . w�th no money and a .balloon payment of $9000 in 3 years. The proposed program will allow us to get into this type of opportunity and will �i provide monies for relocation if necessary. The Marketing Plan, Program Guidelines, and Property Status of properties � are tincluded in the submission documents. \ . . � r . t t : � � . . � + , � � � r � • ' � •' ' � , " . i.

Fort Road Community Improvement Association Fort Road Community Improvement Association aims generaliy � to 1 ) halt deterioration of the building stock in the community: 2a stabilize a mixed population base within the community; 3y improve the economic opportunities for residents; and � 4) maintain a�d improve the growth of community-strengthening bus i r�esses. 'The housing program, the Fort Road Cortmunity Improvement � Assoc�iation's first project, has as its objectives: 1 ) to purchase and rehabilitate housing in the Fort Road Feder�ation's Area 1 , focused initially in the neighborhood of the � propased Neighborhood Partnership Program; 2) to re-sell redeveloped housing, realizing modest development fees of 3-4�; 3) t�o expand the base of home-owners in this comrtiunity, or at a � minimum. to attempt to maintai� the current ratio (557. home- owners. 39x renters with a 67. vacancy �ate, District 9 Data Profi'le) ; � 4) to facilitate moderate income persons' buying good quality housing in our area and to assimilate new residents into the area in a positive. welcoming manner; � 5) tb perpetuate. increase and promote the Fort Road Cortmunity Improvement Association's development fund and activities. ' Given these general goals and housi�g program goals, the marketing objectives for the housing program are: 1 ) to establish a target market for redeveloped housing in the Fort ' Road area, given the existing demographic trends. the � housing stock and the goals of the program; 2) to establish effective means of contacting and attracting the target market to make housing investments in the Fort Road � neighborhood; 3) to establish and maintain a sponsorship program to attempt to strengthen the community relations and bond between the existing � cortxnun i ty and new home buyers. ' Product � Redeveloped housing offered by the Fort Road Comnunit Y ImproWement Association should be differentiated from the � stand�rd realty market offerings. The community objective of securing buildings means that projects a�e .chosen so that only structurally and mechanically sound housing wiil be offered. The cortmtiCment to home ownership in the present program precludes � invol �ement with income-produci�ng properties. � I t � � �-�� 1 � , The general attractions of housing in this cortmunity will help to define the best market for redeveloped housing. The convenience of transportation to downtown and ad,�ace�t businesses � is a� important feature in this community. The crime statistics for 'this area indicate it to be one of the safest in St. Paul . The West 7th/Fort Road area contains a large proportion of � modest. affordable housing. The dive�se community--economicaily. ethnically, and by age--makes for a lively, interesting comnunity. Opportunities for cortrnunity involvement are numerous. � iAnd ultimateiy, for tax and shelter reasons, owning a home is s�ili the best single investment fo� moderate income people. � Target Market � !The realty market is defined in all instances by the type and value of the housing to be sold. In this cortxnunity, the vast � majority of houses are smali and moderately priced. They are ideal for first-time home buyers. � ln order to achieve community improvement goais as well as hous�,ng stock improvement goals, the Fort Road Community Impr�vement Association must be concerned that first-time home buyers will become residents long enough to help stabilize the � population base. City housing patterns are traced through the demographic descriptions of our cortmunity, and they follow a model something like this: families choose smaller, iess � expe�hsive housing early in the family's existence. As children grow� more space is needed, the quality of schools becomes critical and financial resources are often greater. More � established families tend to leave the city. Demographicaily, the only age group that grew in the city betw�en 1970 and 1980 was the 20 to 24-year-oid group. In � District 9, it had the smallest decrease of any pre-retirement age Igroup. The two age categories experiencing the greatest loss�s we�e the 35 to 44 year oids and the 10 to 14 year olds. � By virtue of the housing stock, the target market can then be defined as younger, first-time home buyers. While it is , unre�listic to suppose that the pattern of moving "up and out" can universaily be changed, it is also observed . that some f.ami � ies do tend to "root" in the community, becoming active and � connected to community life and staying throughout the growing years. There are also those childless couples and single person households who will never experience the �eed for more space and will make their living decisions based on their satisfaction with � their home and community. This community aiso has a proportion of �uch "permanent" residents. people who stay in their homes unti � death or disability. (The age group with the lowest out- � migr�tion rate in District 9 is the 55 to 64-year-old group. ) While it is not necessarily an ob,�ective of the Fort Road , ,, 2 � , Community Improvement Association to attract only "permanent" � resid�nts. stability and cortmunity buildi�g are ob,Jectives. It is ira�portant, therefore, to attend to the co�nection between � buyer� and the community to improve both the buyer's expe�ience of "neighborhood" and the impact of the new residents on the commum i ty. � � �onseque�tly, a further refinement of the target market for this program will be persons who have some existing connection to - � the artea: a) persons renti�g or tiving in the neighborhood; b) persons employed in the neighborhood or nearby; c) persons with subst�ntiat relationships in the area (family members, programs, � etc. ).. . 7he househoid units of the target market will be small ; some of tMe houses in the Fort Road community are suitable for one or � two person households o�ly. As first-time home buyers, this marke# will . require homes of structural and mechanical soundness, but wiil prefer to decorate their new homes themseives. Given � their , inexperience as home-owners, basic information on home ownership--home and lawn maintenance information and tax implic�ations. for example--will be important to this market. � The financial resources of the target market can be more finely specified as financing options for the program are definQd. But based on the general range of housing prices in the � community and standard financing options, qualified buyers on the open market average incomes of $20,000 or more. We hope to be able to offer financing options to broaden the income range of � this program's target market. � Marketing Strategies � I�f the target market is defined as a group of persons with an existing connection to the neighborhood, the principle contact point � will be within the neighborhood. its residents, its programs and its employers. The chief marketing strategy for � this project will be the sponsorship program. E�ach candidate home-buyer wili have (assigned or chosen) a � sponsoring neighborhood organization which wili assist the buyer in any way deemed appropriate by the sponsor (though financial assistance is not anticipated) . The sponsorship is intended to make jthe trauma of home-buying less threatening and to link the � buyer to the community, providing the personal orientation. weicomie and assistance newcomers need. We will further eRCOUrage the sponsors to elicit from the buyers some personal response to � their organization. T►�e foliowing organizations wiil be approached as potential � sponsor-s: the Community Center; Single Parents' Group (St. Stan'sl�5t. Mark's) ; Ramsey Action Programs; the Salvation Army; local rhurches--St. James, St. Francis de Sales, St. Peter's i 3 , , Luth�eran. Olivet Methodist; Early Chiidhood and Learning Program (Adams School ) ; and Oneida Education Center. .� Buyers may be presently participating i� these organization's programs; they may participate in the future becaNse of the suitable match made th�ough the Fo�t Road � CortxnWnity Improvement Association; or they may never pa�ticipate if tihe sponsor doe�not require it. The role of the sponsors and the nature of the ponsor-buyer relationship will be defined as � spon$oring organizations help to formulate the program. Another group of buyers may be reached through local � • emplqyers. who may be willing to help the Fort Road Community Imprpvement Association connect with potential b�yers. The folidwing businesses employ 250 or more persons and should be contacted to explore the potential for marketing directly to � their empioyees : Krause-Anderson, Webb Companies, Schmidt Brewery, Martin Limousine, the St. Paul Public Schools, United and Children's Hospitals. Those persons contacted through � empldyers would also need a community-based sponsor. �News coverage for the program is the best means of � inexpjensive, broad market exposure. As relationships are forged and the program defined, press releases will be sent to both city newsplapers. In addition, feature articles will be prepared for local publication (on the Federation page or elsewhere, as space , dictates) . All of these activities wiil be in addition to regular � advertising and marketing of real estate, including MLS listings. Ail marketing activities for Fort Road Community Improveme�t Association projects wiil be sensitive to the public image of the ' assoc�ation. 1 . � 1 � 1 � �! � 4 , � 1 FORT ROAD/WEST 7TH STREET FEDERATION � VACANT HOUSING PROGRAM RENTAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMr� PROGRAM GUIDELINES � ACQUISITION • In de'termining which of the identified problem properties wiil be � acquired. the Fort Road/West 7th Street Federation will consider the f,oilowing criteria: � 1 .

Brisfly describe, the specific problem/need your project is designed to address and cite references if possible from City Comprehensive Plans, Annu�al Citizen Participation Goals and/or other studies. Maintenance is time consuming and difficult in �apanese-style , � gardens. In its present State, Garden maintenance requires an unusual number of man hours. Once res�ored, the Japaaese Garden_ will be much easier to manage. ' Pool liner replacement: Need to replace the pool liner was ciscovered by the Japanese Garden Committee in 1984, ( Como Park Canservatory Japanese Garden Annual Report ; p . 5 , para. 2 of ' Summary. ) . Removal and repositioning of large rocks and boulders was � recommended by Mr, Matsuda. At the same time , he encouraged a � long range plan for care and authentication o� the area, (C.P. Ce Japanese Garden Annual Report, 1985 : p. 2, para. 2. ) , Designer M. Matsu�a will be brought in from Nagasaki , , Japan, to direct work in the Garden. 6. Please list in order of priority the three most important objectives of your project.

MATSUDA - In early 1985, Mr. Matsuda received copies of the 1984 Annual Report and the monthly newslettera In addition, the long-range planning committee sent a letter requesting information about � the g8rden and Mr. Matsuda philosophy in designing the garden. In response, Mr. Matsuda sent a beautiful letter and a package containing photo� and drawings of plaques, hedges, gates, paths and steps. All of his •' corre$pondence was translated by Earl Jackson and distributed to all committee members. Mayor �Latimer was a honored guest of Mr. Matsuda during his trip to Nagasaki ' , in September. Mayor Latimer presented a packet of garden related items to � Mr. Matsuda including recent pt�otographs,. postcards, brochures, minutes from the long-range planning committee meeting, a list of all the plant � materials in the garden and a letter updating him on the accomplishments of the Jaipanese Garden Committee since his last visit in September 1984. , ASSIST CONSERVATORY STAFF WIT GARDEN MA _ � INTENANCE TASKS Under the leadership of Dave Patsche, the Conservatory Gardener, 25 volunteers spent � 902 ho�rs pruning trees and shrubs, transplanting hostas and weeding; they also r�eturned the red lantern to Apple Tree Hill and added wood chips to � -2- i � � �;�� .� '' ORDWAY EMORIA JAPANESE 6ARDEN _ ' 986 HIGHLIGHTS ' 1986 wa� an exciting year at the Ordway Memorial Japanese Garden, with many ac�ivities undertaken by staff and volunteers.

Delscribe in detail your project -primary purpose, specific features, g��idelines, etc. (If multiple projects are proposed, i.e. residential rehab and chore service, each must be separately described) . This proposal continuet t basic purpos�es and functions of the Snelling Commercial/Residential Improvement Project, an N project fundied for operation bq the Midway Coalition for 1987 and 1988. The target area for this proposal is bounded by the alley between University Avenue and �rburne Avenue', on the south; the south side of Thomas Avenue on the north; the west side of ine Street on the west; and the east side of Simpson Street on the east. In addition, propertt owners on Snelling Avenue extending to t�e north side of University Avenue, and those on the nort w t and northeaSt corners of University and Snelling, are also eligible for this program. The location of this NPP, and the strategy behin� the Coalition's development agenda, are r la ed to the emeXgence of University Avenue and the Midway in general as a revitalized co�nercia r a in St. Paul'. To the south of the current and proposed NPP's, the Spruce Tree development a• proposed redevelopment of the Midway Shopping Center are indications of the increased flow o: vate dollars �nto the community. To the north, Bandana Square is another center of new activi: All this activit� represents both an opportunity and a danger to North Snelling Avenue. There is exciting sense that the Midway is the place to be, yet Snelling itself does not have an image. I runs the risk of being left behind by the development happening around it, unless the business owners work to t�ke advantage of that activity. The housing stock in Midway is in a similiar position, where the fL-•.:re could bring either a turn or impr�vement. While much of tne housing is solid, there is � growing problem with deteriorated multi-family and rental housing. The proposed �iroject is a step in preventing the �blem from gro ing. Given the e citement generated by the development in Midway, and especially the energy prod�i by the planning f the public improvements in the current NPP area, now is the time to extend the onto the ful�. stretch of Snelling north of University. There are tl�ree basic components to the proposal. First, we want to improve the condition - a earance of the target area. We will accomplish this objective with housing rehabilitation; , i � � , NPP Application Page 2 Project Name Snellin�I�provPmPntc--pt,A�e II 4. Project Description (continued) i commercial rehabilitation; and public improvements, especially on Snelling Avenue. Second, we want to improve cooperation between residential and commercial members of the community. Third, we �nt to improve the Coalition;s knowledge of financing development and rehabilitation. Housing Rehabilitation: We are requesting $75,000 to finance housing rehab. In the current 1��E we are giving grants of $3,000 maximum to homeowners with incomes at or below 7.110 of inetro med n, with the grants paying for one-third the cost of eligible improvements: exterior, energy, and c e work. Abs�ntee owners are also eligible. The arrangement has worked well and we we will work e new project similarly, with two exceptions. First, we will target half the funding to rental, multi-family, and dilapidated structures. (We may accept requests for assistance from owners o dilapidated structures in the current NPP area.) Second, we will consider distributing a porti c the funding as loans to .be repaid to th Coalition. There are several issues related to using NPP funding for loans rather than for grants. F• s1 will the funding merely duplicate existing programs? Second, is the organization capable of ad n: stering such a system? 'As with an�NHS, the advantage of ourdoing loans will be flexibility. We w: tailor each loan in a way that supplenents existing programs; insome cases we nay even charge n interest. As for administration, we are discussing the possibility of ass�stance with several �c� lenders. We would also include the appropriate City staff in deciding how to structure loans. e would not grant any assistance in the form of loans unless and until we have arrived at an admini- strative arrangement that satisfies the city as well as us. � We also believe entering into this level of sophistication is an essential step for the ._ _._ Coalition. It would enable us to set up a pool of money, ensuring long-term ability to affect the problem housing in the neighborhood. It will also enhance cooperation between the Coalion and , local lenders. Commercial F.ehabilitation: We are requesting $50,000 to assist owners of comm�rcial property and business owners in the neighborhood. In the current NPP, we are providing grants up to $20 Oi paying for one-third the cost of eligible improvements. This has worked well. In the proposed NPP we will probably reduce the maximum grant, and as with the residential side do some tailore loans as well as grants. Part of our request, is to help pay for design consultation to business owners. This is an� important aspect of the project, as it ensures both quality work and a meaningful contribution � more unified overall look to the area, a goal most directly addressed by the public improvements. Public Ir�provements; There are two reasons to do public improvements: to make Snellin� Ave�e itself a nore inviting commercial area; and to promote a more attractive "fit" of Snelling with h residential area surrounding it. It is the aspect of the proposal about which we can provide the least detail; we are still planning the improvements in the current NPP. Improvements may incl�e community kiosks, benches, banners, trash receptacles, and etc. on Snelling itself; as well as minor and lower-cost improvements --such as address plaques--in the residential portions of the target area. �de are asking for $30,000 to help fund such inprovements. We will match this amo�t ,on at least a 2:1 basis in a manner detailed in the budget sections of the proposal. . � , ' � . ' ' 1 . 1 NPP App2ication Page 3 Project Name Snelling Improvements--Phase II ' S. Briefly describe� the specific problem/need your project is designed � to address and cite references if possible from City Comprehensive Plans. Annual Citizen Participation Goals and/or other studies. The basic problems are two, but related. Fir�t, the housing in Midway is marked by scattered dilapidation, concentrated in tY �ti-family hous3ng and in the housing near University and Snelling Avenues. Second, Snelling � no image �and little relation to the neighborhood. This situation can cause problems, such as conflicts over paErking. This proposal will not explicitly address that problem, but will open thL c�unication necessary to do so. In the current NPP, business owners are involved in a mural ittee; the public improvements committee; and the Project Monitoring Committee itself. The 1982 PED Housing Survey points to the dilapidated condition of multi-family housing in D' trict 11 realtive to the whole city. The District Plan points to housing and rehab, and the " nctioning and laesthetics of Snelling Avenue," as important goals. This year's District il izen Patricipation goals focus on the physical development of housing and business, and on wc: in with business, and resdients to plan parking needs. The NPP is in line with the city's Compre- sive Plan in several ways, especially in the promotion of neighborhood business strips. . The or's Neighborh�ood Initiatives program promotes "livability," which this proposal addresses directlq. Finall'q, the sewer separation work on Snelling is nearly complete, so it will not �erfere with the implementation of this project. 6. Pl�ase list in order of priority the three most important objectives of your project. A� 1. To improv�e the appearance and condition of the commercial and residential uses on Snellin� nue, and in th'e area i�ediately surrounding Snelling. . 2. To improv!e the communication and cooperation between residents and businesses in the c�unity. 3. To improv�e the knowledge and experience of the Midway Coalition regarding the financing of rehabilitation, and the financial consi3erations that keep some property owners from doing r�abilitation.

Yes g No If Yes, describe the other project/program and the relationship. � - Both commercial and residential rehab assistance will need to be coordinated with the city's commercial and residential loan programs. That is, individual projects may include fi- nancing from those soilrces as well as from our pool. The current NPP demonstrates our ability � to do that. ' - The public improvements to be done on this stretch of Snelling will need to be coordi- nated in.design with those being on the stretch as part of the current .NPP.

The Midway Coalition is a nonprofit community-based organization working to benefit the residents, businesses, and institutions in t Hamline-Midway neighborhood. The citq recognizes the Coalition as the District 11 Planning C�ncil. �Ieabe�rship includes all those who live or work within the neighborhood boundaries; thE organization is governed by a Board of Directors with positions for 19 delegates and 8 alternate � . S ce the group is a coalition, the b}laws provide for selection of up to 11 Directors by neigh- b hood organiz�tions, with 12 slected by residents in four subdistricts. The four standing c ittees--Soc�al Concerns, Land Use, Housing and Economic Development, and Block Club Steerin:-- include memberst�ip from the Board and. the community. s� There are �pproximately 100 active volunteers, working on the Board, the committees. and cial project�, such as the Horton Park Festival and this past February's Last Valentine's Db- at the Prom Cen�er. In addition, we have organized block clubs on at least one-third of the b�cks in the ne�ighborhood. ' Several of the Coalition's major activities and accomplishments in the past two years inclt �- planning and sec�urin� funding for a new recreation center, for which groundbreaking occured earl: i�July; working with the Iiamline Branch Library, where the Coalition is located, in a successfL e ort to make t'�e building accessible to the handicapped; and organizing to close the Tokyo Aea Clubs. which loca�ted in the neighborhood for a bried time in th� Spring of 198b. The Coalition a. s nsors the Hor�ton Park Festival, a neighborhood celebtration and fundraising event, and a major e�ort at organir�ing block clubs and crime prevention networking in the co�unity. Starting in' January of 1987, the Coalition has been administering the Snelling Avenue C ercial/Resid�ntial Improvement Project, an NPP project just north of the one proposed here. have successfully completed about 20 residential rehab projects; we are .in the process of approving 7 .comm�rcial rehab projects; and we are ir. the midst of planning the content and f�ancing of pub�ic improvements to be done along Snelling. We have worked with a design c sultant in pr�nting a brochure that describes our ideas for a neighborhood logo and potential improvements, and early implementation of improvements will begin with the painting of a mural o a wall of a cpmmercial building in the target area.

The overall project will be overseen by a Project Monitoring Committee, which will include members from the Midway Coalition Board as well as residents and business owners from the project target area. The Monitoring Committee will report its activities twice monthly, to full Coalitian Board meetings as well as to the Executive Committee. Basic policy and procedure issues will be approved . by the Coalition Board upon recommendation by the Monitoring Co�ittee.. Approval of most small� decisions--such as approval of particular rehab grants--will be done by the Monitoring Committe k'ithin the Monitoring Committee, subcommittees will work on particular parts of the project. Specifically, a subcommittee will work on tlie design and financing of the public improvements. In the current NPP, this subcommittee consists of business owners and residents, all of whom are also on the .full Monitoring Conmittee. It sponsors meetings of the businesses in the target area to discuss the possible improvements. At the same time, the Project Coordin�o. discusses the ideas, and the possible advantages of doing such improvenents, with individual businesses}4. S,'ho is the designated project manager? Paul Schersten Describe his/her background, skills and experience in managing similar type projects. For several years, Paul Schersten was community organizer at the Merrick Community Center on St. Paul's East Side. During that time, he was involved in the formation of the East Side Neighborhood Development Company, and worked with the Payne-Arcade Area Business Association as it started to address serious development issues. He was also co-chair of the task force that designed the Neighborhood Partnerships Program, in late 1982 an early 1983. In 1904 and 1985, Paul Schersten studied and worked at the Humnhrey Instftute of Public � Affairs. He focused on local economic development strate�ies and financing. Since September of 1986, he has been managing the Snelling Commercial/Residential Improvement Project. for the Midway Coalition. He has helped the Monitoring Committee define t� rehab grant regulations, application process, and publicity. He has also assisted in defining and managing the process of planning the public improvements. � ' . ' 15. Describe �the citizen participation process for this project. The lannin Df this ro osal has taken advanta e of the ex erience of the current NPP. �h P 8 P P 8 P planning committee included members from the current Monitoring Committee and the full Coalitio Board. During the planning process, the Project Coordinator discussed the possibility with � business owners in the new target area. As with the current project, we will have extensive citizen participation during the imple- mentation of the project. There will be well-publicized public meetings on the whole project, � and on the public improvements component in particular. There will be direct mailings to the whole target area on the availability of the rehab funding, and mailings soliciting volunteers to help with the necessary subcommittees�. We will also have discussions wfth block clubs about the project, especially the public improvements. That has proven to be a good strategy in the � current NPP. Especially with regard to the public improvements, constant one-on-one discussions with busfness owners--both b� the Project Coordinator and by the most involved business owners--are ' probably the most effective way of soliciting opinions. Most business owners do not have time to come to many meetings. � � � ` I Snelling Improvements--Phase II NPP Application Page 7 Project Name � 16. Will the project result in either the returning of NPP funds to the 'Neighborhood Partnership Program or the recycling of NPP funds within the project? Yes R No If Yes, describe. Assuming, we can arrive at a satisfactory administrative arrangement, we intend to d tribute a �portion of the rehab funding in the form of loans to be repaid to the Coalition. This will be th� first step in the creation of a long-term pool af funding upon which we will b�able to depend in the constant struggle to safeguard the condition of residential and c�pmercial property in the community. � ' � . � 17 . 'How does this proposal meet the intent and goals of the Neighborhood ,Partnership Program: - The Mayor's Neighborhood Initiatives Program cites "livability" as a priority, and this p ject address�s that idea directly. - The prdject� addresses prior::� needs as identified in many p�anning documents, from the D�trict Plan to the city's Comprehensive Plan. - The funding will fill a financial gap, most obviously in the financing of public improve- �ts, khich would never happen without public financing of sone sort. - Many relsidents and businesses will be involved in planning and implementation. - The funding requested does not duplicate funding available elsewhere in the city. - The b'PF guidelines cite "innovat�on" as a goal; the purpose of our considering loans as 1 as grants is an innovative public-private partnership between businesses, local lenders, thE C lition, resdi,ents, and the city.

Prqject Description (continued) ' The Mbndertul Wabasha Area ProJect•, Is a comprehensive community improvement campaign conslsting of a streetscape/storefront improvement program, a � retaill promotional program and a Joint business support program for the Wabasha area of downtown. The proJect area generally consists of Wabasha Street from Kellogg to I-94, and 4th, Sth and 6th Streets between Wabasha � and St . Peter Streets. The proJect has been organized by more than 35 area business and property owners along with help trom the Downtown Councii staff and volunteers. � City statf have also p�ovided asslstance. ProJect participants have contributed money and time to the pro)ect planning phase which began in �Aay, 1�987. The Wonderful Wabasha Community identiffed a streetscape and � storef'ront Improvement pro)ect that would visually unify and enhance the area als its flrst priority. Working with the Downtown Councii , Wabasha Area bl�siness and property owners have contracted professional design � consul��tants to gulde the fmplementation of storefront and streetscape improv�ments. An overall design concept that unifies the area will be chosen' by the group by September i after alternatives developed by the ' consultants have been presented and revfewed. Many proJect participants have agreed to carry out improvements to their properties In return for public investment in streetscape elements, even � before ',the final design concept is selected. They have scheduled building exteriolr changes to occur after the design concept is chosen and improvements can be made in a visuaily coordinated manner . Additional � private investment commitment is expected following the design concept selectipn. This expected commitment Is not Included in our Neighborhood Contr (by�tions Declaration total . , City grant monies received through the NPP proJect wlll be allocated only to the streetscape Improvements ( Ilghting, trees� benches. trash recepta�les, etc. ) occuring on public sidewalk space. Once public funding � tor the�e streetscape Improvements Is secured. property and business owners will carry out committed buliding storefront Improvements compatible with the desf'gn concept . ; � Joint prpgramming In terms of retail promotions and maintenance programs � . will be �onducted by the Wonderful Wabasha group throughout the project period. No NPP money Is being sought for these programs, which are � recogniz�d as necessary complements to the physical improvements. imptemen�ation of these programs by the group wlll be assisted by the Downtown �Councll staft.

On September 11, 1987 the Planning Commission reviewed thirteen applications and decided to recommend funding for seven. I support the Commission's recommendations. The �seven projects recommended by the Planning Commission, Department of Plaryning and Economic Development, and me are: 1. WIND Rental � 2. Snelling Commercial/Residential Improvement, Phase II 3. Model Cities Health Center Child Care Center Seed Funding ; f 4. District 5 Comprehensive Housing Program Phase II 5. Smith Avenue Revitalization II 6, l�londerful tdabasha Community Improvement Campaign 7. Arts and Science Center Green Space Public Improvement These recommendations are based on a process that includes evaluating the applications against the NPP's selection criteria and review by the Capital Improvement Budget Committee, Neighborhood District Councils, Planning Corr�nission, and PED staff. The result of this evaluation and review process is identified on the attached Planning Commission Resolution where the ratings, funding recommendations, and in three specific cases funding stipulations are identified. S�x projects a�ere not recommended for funding simply because of their relatively lower ratings in the selection system and the lack of �o��5 , - � � � ��-��7� Chris 'Nicosia September 15, 1987 Page 2 avail�ble funding. The six projects not recommended include: 1. Payne Avenue Revitalization 2. Neighborhood Stability and Future Building 3. Minnesota Women's Quilding Phase II Parking 4. A Step Towards Neighborhood Development Self-Reliance 5. Small Business Revolving Loan Fund 6. Ordway Memorial Japanese Garden Restoration I continue to be pleased with the overall effort in the neighborhoods and the quality of the NPP applications, and I would urge swift City Council seleCtion of the 8th Cycle projects. I would also encourage those six applicants not recommended for funding to rework their proposals and reapply to the next NPP Cycle i.n November. :� If you have any questions about project details, you can call James Zdon (228�3324) of the PED staff.

Page Street � St� Paul, MN 55107 � St�ve: � As you are aware, I agreed late last year to chair an Ad Ho� Smith-Dodd Business Association Committee for the ex- press purpose of exploring signage and facade improvements � th�t could be recommended and made on the Smith Avenue Co�mmercial District in St. Paul and W. St. Paul. I belive our task, a preliminary information gathering step in a long ' process, has been completed. � In' conjunction with Rita Rascher, Rascher Plumbing & Heating, and Marge Walz, Once Again, Inc. , a number of issues were � explored. We secured copies of sign ordinances pertinent to both St. Paul and W. St. Paul businesses. Individual bus- � iness owners were "solicited for their opinion as to whether � or' not they could be encouraged to make individual improve- me�ts, such as new awning or signs, to their storefronts. Photos of other commercial districts in the St, Paul area weze taken and examined, as well as business owners input � on the effects of changes that had been made. Additionally, Hu�.me Awning Co. provided information, photos, and prices on awning replacements & additions. � Ou� recommendation to the Smith-Dodd Business Association is as follows: �` , 1) Facade ir.tprovements for Smith Avenue businesses should be encouraged in the coming months � ' as the High Bridge opens and automobile traffic increases. � 2) Ordinances and restrictions already exist in � both St. Paul and W. St. Paul� which should be followed and encouraged as new improvements , are made and grandfathered signage fades away. � 3) No one individual style of signs or awnings can be prescribed by Smith-Dodd or any group. � 'I Variety will be encouraged, with each business � ' � �'%'._,��.,�,r � � � . � Cherokee State Bank.607.So. Smith Ave.. Saint Paul. Minn. 55107.612/227-7071 � . -2-� 1 . making the best improvements to each indivi- dual building and business. The architec- _ � tural integrity of each individual building must be respected. Consequently, we suggest Smith-Dodd Business Association encourage - � the use of design consultants, by making them available to Smith Avenue businesses. ' Community Design Center.-. author of the 1985 � market analysis of_the .Smith Avenue trade area, should be retained if possible for . this use. � 4) Financing for inprovements will be a major concern and the impetus for getting larger numbers of businesses to consider upgrading � properties. The HRA of Dakota County should be considered (particularly with their Tax Increment Financing—TIF proposal for Smith � Ave. ) for W. St. Paul properties, and the Neighborhood Partnership Program (NPP) for St. Paul Properties. It is suggested that � a portion of the NPP proposal being con- sidered be used for a low interest revolving - loan fund or, possibly, grants. In St. Paul, the 2� Commercial rehabilitation program � should be considered as a supplement in ad- dition to conventional financing. To en- courage participation, an economic devel�p- � ment professional (either yourself or a Smith Avenue Coordinator) should work with individual enterprises to ensure adequate � improvements and correct, expedient pro- cessing of paper flow. � 5) Upon securing commitments of financing through these options and/or design con- sultants, the Smith Avenue Business Com- munity should be encouraged to work with � experts that are available. Publicity should take place either through the VOICE, or perhaps more appropriately through in- � dividual solicitation and a personalized G�:►ith-Dodd letter/invitation. � 6) This will have to be an ongoing project. Some businesses will be able to participate � �" i �. � Ct�erokee State Bank.607 So. Smith Ave..Saint Paul, Minn. 55107.612/227-7071 � � very shortly upon the �opening of the bridge, ' others as programs get undexway �and cash _ � flow improves. I hope this information will be helpful to you as you de- � velop the NPP proposal and continue to work with the Smith- Dokld Business ss ia ion long-range planning committee. e e b!

Funding is being requested to offset an anticipated � b�dget shortfall in Year II and to assist in upfront development costs in Y$ar I. � The development of a Child Care Center came from MCHC's Strategic Plan, based on a growing demand for licensed child care services in the co�unity and city at large. The Center will be a non-profit service, with a fee structure , es�tablished to cover operational costs. Grant revenue will be used to develop a �subsidy fund for lower income families, and for specific program focused ac'tivities.

Project Description (continued) � This goal is accomplished by: (1) developing curricula and program activities to meet the high standards of the National Association for the Education of � Young Children (accreditting agency); (2) employing quality staff and providing ongoing staff development; (3) maintaining ongoing communication with parents_ and other human service providers. � The Child Care Center is designed as a 25-child capacity group day care center. Infants and toddlers will be served (ie., ages 6 weeks to 30 months). The philosophy upon which all planning, progra�ing and service delivery is based � in wholistic in scope. Rather than providing solely a baby-sitting service, � the Child Care Center will address the total development of each child. Progra�ing has been designed to be age-appropriate, and while the total curriculum and � schedule of activities is developed as an annual plan, the individual and special needs of each child will be carefully attended to by staff. The Child Care Center will be physically located in the new facility, occupying , 1400 square feet. Slightly over half of the center's square footage (ie., 700 square feet) is useable space for children. This is the area wherein children have freedom of movement for learning, exploration, and� indoor play activfty.. , In addition, the following areas are included: 1.) nurserq designed to house eight infant cribs; . 2.) infant play area; � . 3.) toddler play area; 4.) kitchen area; 5.) toilets; � 6.) interest centers (eg. , art, music, dramatic play); and 7.) office area. An outdoor play area, located on the premises adjacent to the center, is � designed to meet licensing requirements and to provide the children with safe recreational activities. The outdoor area will be equipped with play equipment designed to improve large muscular development. , Fundamental to a young child's growth and development is good health. To that end, the health center's Perinatal Begistered Nvrse is assigned oa call to the Child Care Center. Well babq checks, parenting education, health � education are all integral to the health care component of the Child Care Center. The Center is scheduled to open with children in January 1988. Key staff , � will be hired in late 1987 to ready the center for enrollment. ' ' i 1 ' ' NPP Application Page 3 Pro j ect Name M�7F3. C1Tff5 1�AL'IIi (IN1IIt QIIID CARE SEFD FtI�IDII+ 5.

The primary purpose of the program is to stop the deterioration of housing in �he project area of the For.t Road community. � The area boundaries, ' Grand, Smith, Fort Road, Western, �Goodhue, Duke, 35-�, contain the worst housing in the community. , The ;program will buy vacant, semi-vacant and/or absentee owned multiple unit housing in substandard, but repairable condition. The program will ther� rehabilitate the units and market the units to low to moderate ' incbme buyers. Two buildings within the project area are larger than dup�exes, so buyers who commit to live in the building will receive top � priority. , The WIND Rental Development Program is a companion to the WIND Vacant . Housing Program. The Vacant Housing Program has been in operation ' sin�ce 1/10/87. During this time, the WIND neighborhood has gotten org�anized, and sponsored City Rehab information programs, has begun to work closely with Housing and Building Code Enforcement, and participated in ;the selection, scope of rehab work, and marketing of the housing in the ' area.

On September 11, 1987 the Planning Commission reviewed thirteen applications and decided to recommend funding for seven. I support the Commission's recommendations. The �seven projects recommended by the Planning Commission, Department of Plaryning and Economic Development, and me are: 1. WIND Rental � 2. Snelling Commercial/Residential Improvement, Phase II 3. Model Cities Health Center Child Care Center Seed Funding ; f 4. District 5 Comprehensive Housing Program Phase II 5. Smith Avenue Revitalization II 6, l�londerful tdabasha Community Improvement Campaign 7. Arts and Science Center Green Space Public Improvement These recommendations are based on a process that includes evaluating the applications against the NPP's selection criteria and review by the Capital Improvement Budget Committee, Neighborhood District Councils, Planning Corr�nission, and PED staff. The result of this evaluation and review process is identified on the attached Planning Commission Resolution where the ratings, funding recommendations, and in three specific cases funding stipulations are identified. S�x projects a�ere not recommended for funding simply because of their relatively lower ratings in the selection system and the lack of �o��5 , - � � � ��-��7� Chris 'Nicosia September 15, 1987 Page 2 avail�ble funding. The six projects not recommended include: 1. Payne Avenue Revitalization 2. Neighborhood Stability and Future Building 3. Minnesota Women's Quilding Phase II Parking 4. A Step Towards Neighborhood Development Self-Reliance 5. Small Business Revolving Loan Fund 6. Ordway Memorial Japanese Garden Restoration I continue to be pleased with the overall effort in the neighborhoods and the quality of the NPP applications, and I would urge swift City Council seleCtion of the 8th Cycle projects. I would also encourage those six applicants not recommended for funding to rework their proposals and reapply to the next NPP Cycle i.n November. :� If you have any questions about project details, you can call James Zdon (228�3324) of the PED staff.

Page Street � St� Paul, MN 55107 � St�ve: � As you are aware, I agreed late last year to chair an Ad Ho� Smith-Dodd Business Association Committee for the ex- press purpose of exploring signage and facade improvements � th�t could be recommended and made on the Smith Avenue Co�mmercial District in St. Paul and W. St. Paul. I belive our task, a preliminary information gathering step in a long ' process, has been completed. � In' conjunction with Rita Rascher, Rascher Plumbing & Heating, and Marge Walz, Once Again, Inc. , a number of issues were � explored. We secured copies of sign ordinances pertinent to both St. Paul and W. St. Paul businesses. Individual bus- � iness owners were "solicited for their opinion as to whether � or' not they could be encouraged to make individual improve- me�ts, such as new awning or signs, to their storefronts. Photos of other commercial districts in the St, Paul area weze taken and examined, as well as business owners input � on the effects of changes that had been made. Additionally, Hu�.me Awning Co. provided information, photos, and prices on awning replacements & additions. � Ou� recommendation to the Smith-Dodd Business Association is as follows: �` , 1) Facade ir.tprovements for Smith Avenue businesses should be encouraged in the coming months � ' as the High Bridge opens and automobile traffic increases. � 2) Ordinances and restrictions already exist in � both St. Paul and W. St. Paul� which should be followed and encouraged as new improvements , are made and grandfathered signage fades away. � 3) No one individual style of signs or awnings can be prescribed by Smith-Dodd or any group. � 'I Variety will be encouraged, with each business � ' � �'%'._,��.,�,r � � � . � Cherokee State Bank.607.So. Smith Ave.. Saint Paul. Minn. 55107.612/227-7071 � . -2-� 1 . making the best improvements to each indivi- dual building and business. The architec- _ � tural integrity of each individual building must be respected. Consequently, we suggest Smith-Dodd Business Association encourage - � the use of design consultants, by making them available to Smith Avenue businesses. ' Community Design Center.-. author of the 1985 � market analysis of_the .Smith Avenue trade area, should be retained if possible for . this use. � 4) Financing for inprovements will be a major concern and the impetus for getting larger numbers of businesses to consider upgrading � properties. The HRA of Dakota County should be considered (particularly with their Tax Increment Financing—TIF proposal for Smith � Ave. ) for W. St. Paul properties, and the Neighborhood Partnership Program (NPP) for St. Paul Properties. It is suggested that � a portion of the NPP proposal being con- sidered be used for a low interest revolving - loan fund or, possibly, grants. In St. Paul, the 2� Commercial rehabilitation program � should be considered as a supplement in ad- dition to conventional financing. To en- courage participation, an economic devel�p- � ment professional (either yourself or a Smith Avenue Coordinator) should work with individual enterprises to ensure adequate � improvements and correct, expedient pro- cessing of paper flow. � 5) Upon securing commitments of financing through these options and/or design con- sultants, the Smith Avenue Business Com- munity should be encouraged to work with � experts that are available. Publicity should take place either through the VOICE, or perhaps more appropriately through in- � dividual solicitation and a personalized G�:►ith-Dodd letter/invitation. � 6) This will have to be an ongoing project. Some businesses will be able to participate � �" i �. � Ct�erokee State Bank.607 So. Smith Ave..Saint Paul, Minn. 55107.612/227-7071 � � very shortly upon the �opening of the bridge, ' others as programs get undexway �and cash _ � flow improves.
