Main Street Redevelopment RELATES TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN Strategic Goal- III. Focus on Economic Development A. Research and Plan for Development 3. Promote downtown development BACKGROUND In 2022, Staff has been meeting with the development team from Rockwell Partners that had purchased properties on N. Main Street. Because of those discussions, and in consultation with the Common Council feedback, the development team has conceptualized a project for the redevelopment of the site for a commercial and multi-family condominium development. Rockwell Partners will use this opportunity to share with the Common Council & CDA the status of their efforts related to achieving a desired redevelopment project consistent with the City’s Downtown Revitalization Plan. The project could also include the enhancement and expansion of public amenities within the area. A public/private partnership would be necessary to accommodate the infrastructure needed to accomplish this complex project. RECOMMENDATION Staff & the Developer are seeking policy direction from the Committee of the Whole/CDA related to proceeding in 2022 with this catalytic redevelopment area identified in the City’s Downtown Plan & Strategic Plan. 1 2  MEMORANDUM PARKS, RECREATION & FORESTRY DEPARTMENT Date: 5-10-22 To: Mayor and Common Council From: Craig Hoeppner, Director Re: Village Green Restroom Update RELATES TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN IV.C. Evaluate Village Green enhancements and public restrooms in downtown BACKGROUND On February 1, 2022, the Committee of the Whole provided feedback for the Village Green Restrooms. That feedback, combined with the Architectural Commission’s feedback on February 2, 2022 helped guide us toward the final design. The final design was presented to and approved by the Architectural Commission on April 6, 2022. The Final Design, Floor Plan and Site Plan are included. ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS Updates include the following:  The floor plan has been resized making the overall dimensions 32’ wide x 24’-10” deep.  The floor plan now provides for 3 toilet fixtures and one sink for each gender, a utility room, drinking fountain and bottle filler and space for a map/signage on the exterior.  Interior details include hand dryers, changing tables, partitions, fixtures, etc.  The design has been tweaked and the trellis area reworked. If the Council wanted to explore alternatives, the restrooms could be resized for 2 or 1 fixtures per gender. FINANCIAL IMPACT The cost estimate range for this building is $360,000-$410,000. RECOMMENDATION The Village Green Restroom design is complete and can be bid out within two weeks, if desired. The Common Council will need to decide whether to proceed with the bidding process. 1 3 4 5 6 7
