HomeMy WebLinkAboutSAT Grant Information FULL PDF Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor & City Commission FROM: Courtney Kramer, Historic Preservation Officer (HPO) Tim McHarg, Planning Director SUBJECT: Save America’s Treasures Grant for Downtown Bozeman MEETING DATE: September 17, 2012 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action RECOMMENDATION: Approve the delegation of Save America’s Treasures (SAT) grant funding to two rehabilitation projects: 1) the Rialto Theatre at 10-12 West Main Street in Bozeman for a sum of $140,000; and 2) the Bozeman Downtwon Partnership for the Caird Streetlamp Restoration on North Willson Avenue for the sum of $10,000; and, Authorize the City Manager to sign grant contracts to that effect. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “Having reviewed the application materials, considered public comment, and considered all of the information presented, I hereby adopt the findings presented in the staff memo and related documents and award the Save America’s Treasures Grant as recommended by the selection committee.” BACKGROUND: This item initially appeared on the City Commission’s September 10, 2012 Consent Agenda. The Commission removed this item from the September 10 Consent Agenda and moved it to the September 17 Agenda, under Action items. The item gives the Commission an opportunity to approve delegation of grant funds procured through the Save America’s Treasures program for Bozeman’s Main Street Historic District subsequent to the gas explosion and fire which occurred in March, 2009. Staff partnered with the Downtown Bozeman Partnership to find private property owners planning rehabilitation projects which satisfy the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, as well as the City of Bozeman’s Design Guidelines for Historic Preservation and the standards for a Certificate of Appropriateness. Four grant applications were received with this round of requests; a copy of each grant application is included with this memo: 1.From the Rialto Theatre to rehabilitate the structure at 10-12 West Main Street; 2.From the Downtown Partnership to restore historic streetlamps on North Willson Avenue; 3.From the Lovelace Building to rehabilitate the rear façade of the building at 18 West Main Street; 4.From the Emerson Cultural Center at 111 South Grand Avenue to install new, historically- appropriate windows. As stated during the September 10, 2012 Commission meeting, a selection committee composed of the City of Bozeman’s Historic Preservation Officer, the chairman of the Bozeman Historic Preservation Advisory Board, a representative from the Montana State Historic Preservation Office and a representative from the National Park Service (NPS) reviewed each application against the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties and the grant criteria set forth in the Congressional Action. The selection committee determined the most appropriate use of the funding to be façade restoration and rehabilitation of the Rialto Theatre, in the Main Street Historic District. The grant applicants (Rialto owners and their consultants) acquiesced to this requirement, and the selection committee determined to give $140,000 of the grant funding to the Rialto. The remaining $10,000 was allocated to the Caird Streetlights rehabilitation project, which is also in the Main Street Historic District. HPO Kramer’s initial review memo, and the selection committee’s correspondence of this discussion, are included with this memo. Subsequent to the Monday, September 10, 2012 City Commission discussion regarding this item, Staff sought further clarification regarding allocation of SAT funding from the National Park Service. The NPS is the federal agency charged with administering the grant funding. The related email correspondence and a memo from the NPS are included with this memo. Grant contracts between the applicants, the City and the National Park Service, the required Conservation Easement held by the Montana State Historic Preservation Office, and Certificate of Appropriateness and Building Permit applications required by the City of Bozeman will be completed once the Commission approves delegation of the funds. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: To be determined by the City Commission. ALTERNATIVES : As suggested by the City Commission. FISCAL EFFECTS: The City of Bozeman will act as a pass-through organization for the grant funding. Kenneth Stocks, City of Bozeman Grants Coordinator, will handle ongoing management of the grant. The SAT grant is entirely federal funding. CONTACT: Please feel free to email Courtney Kramer at ckramer@bozeman.net or Kenneth Stocks at kstocks@bozeman.net if you have any questions.

To: National Park Service From: Chris Naumann, Executive Director Downtown Bozeman Partnership Re: Request to allocate $11,000 in funding for The Downtown Caird Streetlamp Restoration Project Please accept this request for $11,000 of the City of Bozemans funding for a historic preservation project in downtown Bozeman. The included project proposal includes background and context information; a scope of work; and preliminary cost estimates. This project will rehabilitate the last three remaining Caird streetlamps in downtown Bozeman. The refurbished streetlamps will be relocated along North Willson Avenue adjacent to the historic Baxter Hotel building. The project is located within Bozemans Historic Main Street District as formally designated in the National Registry of Historic Places. If you have any questions or comments about this proposal or neeformation please contact me at chris@downtownbozeman.org or 406-586-4008. Thank you for your time and consideration, Chris Naumann ‹ 5šÞ“·šÞ“ /z©7 {·©;;·Œ’¦ w;­·š©·zš“ t©š†;-· Downtown Caird Streetlamp Restoration Project Background th In the early 20 century the city of Bozeman installed new streetlamps in the downtown area to be a modern city. The street lights were fabricated at Caird Engineering Works in Helena, MT famous for metal and equipment fabrication for mining equipment and shipbuilding during WW II. Historic photos document that the Carid streetlamps were present early as the mid to late 1920s. Over the decades the streetlamps have been changed several times, and the downtown has a new modern fixture for its current streetscape theme. Only three of these historic light posts remain in the downtown core. Goal This project will rehabilitate the last three remaining Caird streetlamps in downtown Bozeman. The refurbished streetlamps will be relocated along North Willson Avenue adjacent to the historic Baxter Hotel building. Location The project is located within Bozemans Historic Main Street District as formally designated in the National Registry of Historic Places. The Baxter Hotel opened on March 2, 1929.Designed by Fred Willson, the highly regarded Bozeman architect, the streamlined Moderne style Baxter Hotel was completed in 1929. The Baxter Hotel building is consider as downtown Bozemans grandest edifice and upon its Bozeman Daily Chronicle completion the declared it as the beginning of a new order of things in Bozeman. Context The Downtown Caird Streetlamp Restoration Project is soundly sup adopted Downtown Bozeman Improvement Plan, which serves as the master planning document for Bozemans historic core. One of the Downtown Plans s The Plan continues by acknowledging downtowns authentic Main Street experience, restaurants help to distinguish the city from others in the region and should be use competitiveness. Boze is one that has seen great care and investments by a wide range of people, agencies and organizations. This district should be further strengthened by a handful of strategic but delicate improvements, concludes the Plan. The Downtown Caird Streetlamp Restoration Project is exactly the kind of delicate improvements that the community is prioritizing and pursuing in historic downtown Bozeman. ‹ 5šÞ“·šÞ“ /z©7 {·©;;·Œ’¦ w;­·š©·zš“ t©š†;-· Scope of Work The work will require the removal of the three poles and component parts. As old cast iron can be brittle, it will be important that this is done carefully as the poles have separate iron parts. The existing standards, bases, and collars will be refurbished. Some of the streetlamp parts are missing from the poles, thus original parts will need to be found or replica parts will need to be fabricated to complete the restoration. need to be matched to most closely complete the historic look ofiginal Caird fixtures. The refurbished streetlamps will be fitted with modern electrical wiring. Estimated Budget Design and Shop drawings $1,000 Removal and restoration $8,000 Parts and Fabrication $6,000 Installation $4,500 Project Plaque $500 Contingency $2,000 Total Project Costs $22,000 Funding Request In order to fully cover the project costs, $11,000.00 of Save Americas Treasures funding is being requested. Matching Funds The required matching funds will be provided from four sources: 1. The Downtown Bozeman Tax Increment Finance District will provide $5,000 in a cash match. 2. The adjacent property owner will provide up to $4,500 in a cash 3. The Downtown Partnership will provide no less than $1000 dollarsproject management service. 4. The City of Bozeman, through grant management, will provide no less than $500 in donated services. Downtown Bozeman TIF $5,000 Property Owner $4,500 Downtown Partnership $1,000 City of Bozeman $500 Total Match $11,000 ‹ 5šÞ“·šÞ“ /z©7 {·©;;·Œ’¦ w;­·š©·zš“ t©š†;-· Light Pole Ownership and Preservation Easement The three restored streetlamps are currently and will remain under the Downtown Bozeman Bozeman Partnership will sign the required preservation easement. Management and Timeline It is anticipated that the City of Bozeman, in coordination withwntown Bozeman Partnership will: 1) administer and manage the grant and the project; 2) complete a restoration design; 3) prepare the necessary bid documents; and 4) solicit bids for the restoration of the poles and fixtures. This lighting project will coincide with a new streetscape project planned with adjacent pro owner. The project will involve consultation with qualified professionals regarding cultural and historic research, material integrity analysis, metal restoration, and structural engineering.

PHASE I Description and Associated Estimated Cost The Scope of Work included in this funding request is comprised as many of the Phase I components as can be incorporated with the funding available, with the focus of reactivating the theatre space and upgrading the infrastructure. If funding allows, related improvements will be made (pending review by the historic preservation officer). Note that current research has not resulted in discovery of interior photographs of the theatre, yeic might produce images of value. The Phase I components are described in greater detail, as follows: 1.Provision of Theatre seats: The theatre space currently has no seats; the most (c.1970) rece Theatre in Deer Lodge, Montana. The Owner has implemented a strategy whereby sponsors receive seat-naming rights. The Owner has researched Art Deco seating to fit with the Period of Significance of the theatre. It is unknown at this juncture whet-owned or new replacement seats will be purchased and installed; however, this will be res before final selection of the seats. Estimated Cost: An initial survey of theater seats indicates that cinema seat re between $150 (used) and $900 (new). For initial purposes, the estimated cost is: 200 seats @ $600 = $120,000 (material and installation) 2.Repair of existing electrical, plumbing, and HVAC: Bring up to code and appropriate comfort levels. Estimated cost: 4000 s.f. x $10/sf = $40,000 3.Provision of Art Deco style sconces on side walls of theatre spa Rejuvenation Art Deco Slipper style fixtures (8) Estimated cost: 8 x $400 = $3,200 (material and installation) 2¨ «³® 4§¤ ³±¤ 3!4 '± ­³ !¯¯«¨¢ ³¨®­ 0 ¦¤ 6 4.Repair of embossed steel ceiling: Removal of surface rust and loose paint (probably with some type of chemical stripper or gentle blasting media sponges or finely ground walnut shells, pending review with indu hygienist), then surface preparation and repainting.

Preliminary investigation reveals a yet it is unknown whether this stenciling was c.1934 or a later and analysis of any historic photographs will be used to try to ascertain the c.1934 appearance. If the c.1934 decoration scheme is not determined, a period sche based on analysis of other Depression-era Art Deco theatres - will be used. A sensitive acoustical treatment will be integrated into the decorative scheme. Estimated Cost: $13,000 9.Restrooms: There is one public single-user restroom on the first floor, for which minor modifications repairs are required; this was built with current-era wood framing and gypsum board at the northwest end of the theatre auditorium (adjacent to the lobby). No restr of Significance remain (nor is there evidence of any, with the etwo small single-user restrooms at the base of the stairs to the basement). 4 The B.F.

The marq trimmed with shiny aluminum upon a dark backdrop. Rounded corners softened the street edge. Drawings have not been located for this sign, so historic relied upon to design the replication. Known dimensions of the brick walls also visible in the photograph will be used as a guide for the marquee dimensions. (See storefront below for estimated cost.) 2.Reconstruction of the c.1934 storefront: The shiny dark storefront trimmed with aluminum and accented witghlighted the glass entry doors will be reconstructed as closely as possib centered around the small multi-faceted ticket booth which is pronounced with multiple horizontal bands of aluminum on a dark background. The two pairs of entry doors appear to be glass with aluminum Art Deco style trim. Remnants of the dark background material and aluminum trim, at t second floor, will be used as a guide for the materials and finicture appear to remain behind painted plywood, hence the general spati sequence remains. Reconstruction might include incorporation of clear fully-glass doors in the outside wall plane, to provide weatherlocks (vestibules) outside the recessed entries. Estimated Cost for Marquee and Storefront: $50,000 3.Reconstruction of the Luxfer prism glass transom above the marque The Luxfer prism glass transom that was located above the marquee was consistent with the original 1908 construction of the building. The intent of the p further into the depth of the long windowless first floor space While this function was not necessary when the space was converted to a theatre lobby, the transom remained exposed on the exterior of the building. This juxtaposition of stylistic periods. Removal of the painted plywood from the transom area reveals that the transom frame and glass are no longer extant. The new transom design will provide for a similar visual appeara as the original, with the following modifications: a.Relocation of bottom of glass to approximately - will allow for proper water-tight detailing, including flashing at the roof of the marquee. b.Trim to approximate the appearance of the copper trim of the adjacent transom (on the building to the east). c.Glass infill to approximate the original appearance with five mullio grooved glass. Estimated Cost: $6,000 - $10,000 4.Restoration of the exterior front masonry facade: Some of the mortar joints of the brick and stone of the exterioracade are open particularly at the stone beltcourse above the transom area.
