Facade Improvement Grant
Dancewear Corner
Planning and Zoning Director Hitt presented the request. Dancewear Corner is located at
791 W. Montrose Street. The CRA criterion requires no physical renovation or work be
done and nothing has been done. The applicant requested approval of demolition of the
existing mansard and installation of a new fabric awning as part of this request. A quote
was received for the removal of the awning. Mr. Hitt expressed concern with the quote
not including the repair and re- facing of the mansard. He suggested proceeding with the
removal and demolition at $975 with the caveat that if the other quote, which is $900, can
come in and does the same type of repair work after the mansard is done, it would be a
reduction in the overall cost. This would allow more flexibility. The removal is $975 and
the new awning is $1,250. The total exterior cost with improvements is $2,225. The
applicants match is 25 percent which is $556.25. The total grant request is $1,668. The
applicant is also interested in a different color other than dark green provided they stay
with an earth tone color. Staff would review. Staff recommended Council approval of the
grant request.
Mayor Turville opened the public hearing. There were no comments.
Mayor Turville closed the public hearing.
Council Member Mullins questioned if the $1,250 awning cost included taxes. Planning
and Zoning Director Hitt noted taxes and engineering would need to be included which
would increase the cost. The permit fees cannot be included as it is exempt under the
criteria.
Council Member Mullins moved to grant the grant subject to changes
allowed by staff as far as color and repairing as presented by staff
including the tax and engineering; seconded by Council Member
Goodgame.
Planning and Zoning Director Hitt made a correction noting the awning quote is $1,265
instead of $1,250.
The motion passed with all members voting "aye ".
