Project Summary (p/ease be as descriptive as passib/e :for each project, attach additiona/ sheets if
necessary):
The City of Lakeville is committed to supporting the continued viability of downtown Lakeville. The
Comprehensive Plan "attempts to maintain the existing CBD .commercial core and adjoining
residential neighborhoods while integrating new development..." Additionally, the City outlines it's
commitment to retain the historical flavor of downtown area, developing it into a vibrant business
community and ensuring its long-term viability,. as indicated. in the 2002-2004 Strategic; Plan for
Economic Development. Therefore, the City of Lakeville is requesting $73,691 to provide a third year
of funding for the Downtown Code Improvement Program, and $30,000 to offset costs associated
with the demolition/clearance of vacant, blighted buildings in the downtown district which inhibit
business growth and overall development of the downtown.
The Downtown Code Improvement Program has successfully,used CDBG funds to address code
deficiencies in two buildings to date: the Smith Dental Building, and. the Ben Franklin` Building. An
additional $70,000 in CDBG funds in 2003 would allow the Downtown Code Improvement Program to
be the catalyst for addressing health and safety deficiencies in one or more additional properties in
the downtown district. Deficiencies rectified through this program are identified by the City's Building
Official. Property owners must match the CDBG funds on at Jeast a 1:1 basis. Funds are provided to
property owners on a reimbursement basis once the code improvements are complete.. Property.
owners are also required to incorporate the Historic Fairfield District of Downtown Lakevilfe Design
Guidelines into. their.: project.
Additionally, there are a number of buildings. in the downtown district that have significant building
code deficiencies and pose major barriers to redevelopment of the district. It is proposed that the
remaining $33,691 in funds be .used to assist property-owners with the costs associated with the
removal of existing: empty,. blighted buildings, the removal of which will enhance the viability of: the
commercial district of downtown Lakeville. Buildings must not be occupied, and code deficiencies
contributing to'blight. must be identified by the City's Building Official. The property-owner will be
required to contribute at :private funds on at feast a 1:1 basis to renovate andfor expand the .property
for acommercially-related use. Funds will be provided on a reimbursement basis once the end-use
of the property has been developed.
