N7Rehab applications and presentations
Suzi Riggs presented final report for Technical Assistance Grant application for Mitch
Billis’ sculpture shop renovation on Hemlock. The project brought a few surprises she
wanted to share in hopes of helping future projects in that area – steepness of lot kept
ADA parking space and ramp from the front entrance, had to go off of alley; strongly
suggests the board support the new artisan use language for city parking regulations;
shallow gas line in alley would have paving a $40,000 expense with neither energy
company or city agreeing it was their responsibility.
Future work at Mitch’s shop will include a sculpture garden and plaza to street side,
including sidewalk and landscaping. Suzi will get invoice/receipts to Allyson to complete
the grant process.
Allyson also encouraged the board to support the pending code change concerning artisan
manufacturing regulations along North 7th.
FYI
Allyson reported sign code change will be on December 3 zoning commission agenda and
will not include sign copy – having property owners at this meeting to tell why sign copy is
such a hindrance, etc.
