Kusina, Filipino Village, EZ Grocery Market, and Pink Flower have requested/made application but the funds have <br />been exhausted. <br /> <br />We also have the $50K loan program but only $9,000 of that is currently available. As funds from this loan program <br />were used for the Forgivable Loan Program instead. As previously, the Council had agreed to increase the EDA <br />levy from $100,000 to $150,000 which was in the approved Strategic Plan. However, the Council did not increase <br />the EDA levy in order to keep the overall levy where the Council desired causing a shortfall in the EDA loan <br />program. Currently, we have three applicants for this program, EZ Market, Big Dipper, and the Sandwich King. <br /> <br />The current EDA Balance is $502,000 (and two residential properties we recently purchased). <br /> <br />Staff is bringing the issue forward for council to discuss further to determine if they want to add additional monies <br />to this program while simultaneously reviewing the program guidelines and parameters which are included as <br />attachments. <br />ACTION REQUESTED – Council consensus, direction on transferring money to either programs and if <br />consensus to determine if there are any changes to the policy. <br /> <br />6. Street Reconstruction – Driveway Conformance – Don <br />Council Member Meehlhause requested we visit this issue further. The specific issue if enforcement of <br />the Driveway Standards/Ordinance. There are approximately 80 non-conforming. The curb is in good <br />to very good condition and is not planned to be replaced. Thus, bringing the driveways into <br />conformance will result in a number of saw cuts (back to the closest joint). <br />The driveway standards are in place to ensure a functional minimum along with a maximum width to <br />ensure we do not have concrete yards or excessive vehicle/boat/RV storage occurring in the front yard. <br />This project will improve the life of the street another 20 years at which time the curb is more likely to <br />need replacement and council can choose to wait until then. <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Provide staff direction on driveway conformance code. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
