As part of this agreement, the following language was provided: 517 N. Lake Road. The residents in the isthmus are passionate about preserving, to the extent possible, the 517 property. The Developer has agreed to allow interested community members the exclusive option of purchasing this land and donate it to the city for park purposes for $1,350,000. The option would be open until January 31, 2021. In the event the lands are not purchased, the Developer, in consultation with the Architectural Commission has reconfigured and redesigned the proposed 8-unit condominium, which would receive building permits on February 1, 2021. The building would be situated perpendicular to N. Lake Road, and has been redesigned to include additional historic features, as depicted on the renderings to be shown at the Council meeting. For this meeting, we will provide an update on the status of the fundraising activities underway to obtain the property. ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS Update discussion. FINANCIAL IMPACT None, update discussion only. RECOMMENDATION None, update discussion only. SUGGESTED MOTION None, update discussion only.

Support Community Events and Opportunities for Residents BACKGROUND Based on Wisconsin Department of Transportation information, an average of 15,000 vehicles per day travel through the City on Wisconsin Avenue. Many of these vehicles are operated by those that live outside of our community and therefore not aware of all of the great events held here throughout the year. To take advantage of the highly traveled Wisconsin Avenue corridor, we did some initial investigation of what it would take to have a banner placed above the street between City Hall and the Avenue Square Mall, 175 E. Wisconsin Avenue. This location was selected as it allows for the use of a City building. Shown below are very preliminary ideas for the banner. 1 3 ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS There are several tasks that need to be completed to develop this concept from a preliminary idea to having a banner in our downtown viewed by 15,000 cars per day:  Council Support  Identified Funding Source  Agreement with Property Owner at 175 E. Wisconsin Avenue  City Policy for Use of the Banner Area  Engineering for the Connections to the Building  Certified Contractor for the Installation  Banner and Materials Purchase FINANCIAL IMPACT We will have some rough cost estimates for our discussion on Tuesday, September 1, 2020. RECOMMENDATION Discussion to determine support for the concept. SUGGESTED MOTION Provide City Staff with direction to move, or not move, forward to develop the concept for Common Council action.
