SUBJECT: Facade Project for 53-65 Douglas Avenue
PURPOSE

members of the City Council with information to consider a
Facade Improvement Program project for 53-65 Douglas Avenue.
BACKGROUND
Ben Corn, owner of the above property, wishes to participate
in the partial restoration component of the Facade Improvement
Program. The owner is aware of the complete Facade Program,
but is not interested in participating at this time .

on the east and north elevations of the building.
The partial restoration component allows the participant to
perform basic repairs to the structure . The proposed repairs
are eligible work items under this component .

because of the limited scope of work. It is felt that staff
can oversee the proposed work.

of the Facade Improvement Program, the participants would be
entitled to a rebate of 35 percent of the construction cost .
The rebate, as calculated, would be approximately $3 , 337 . 25 .
