1
other nominations were given by the Commission. Motion by McMillen,second by Reiman to nominate
the house at 521 Oak Street as the 2013 Heritage Preservation Award recipient. APIF,Motion passed.
c. Beautification Awards Program
At the regular meeting in April the Commission had discussed the developing of a Beautification Award
Program that would highlight a specific project(i.e.,landscape,façade,etc)that has recently been
completed on private property that enhances the property by adding aesthetic value.
A draft of the proposed program was distributed to the Commission and discussion ensued about whether
to include residential properties or does the Commission want to keep the award only to commercial
properties within the downtown core area. It was consensus of the Commission to have the program be
limited to the Downtown Overlay District. All properties,whether residential or commercial,as long as
they are within the district would be eligible for the award.
It was decided by the Commission that the award should be split into three categories,those categories
being: Landscape,Façade,and Sustainability. The Commission agreed that an entry fee for the award
was not needed,at least at this time. The Commission will also consider including a monetary award to
the recipient,possibly$50-$100.
Staff will keep it on the agenda and refine the program language and bring it back to the Commission in
June.

Present: Members Franceschelli,Lehto,Haley,Consultant Vogel,Assistant City Planner Wippler.

4. Public Hearings-None
5. New Business
a. Basic Training in Historic Preservation
Consultant Vogel discussed the duties of the Heritage Preservation Commission which include giving
recommendations to the City Council on items related to Historic Preservation. Consultant Vogel went
through the Heritage Preservation Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan and explained the
Comprehensive Plan process. The plan lays out the goals and policies that the Commission looks to
implement. The primary objectives of the City's Historic Preservation Program are: preservation of
significant historical,architectural,and archaeological resources;fostering the wise use of Farmington's
heritage resources through comprehensive planning and education;facilitating public participation in
preservation planning;and dissemination of information about Farmington's heritage. The Commission
does municipal historic preservation which is a city service. Your goal at the end of each year is to ensure
that nothing that the city does harms any significant historical resources. The Commission is governed by
the City's policies and laws and has implemented a very conservative Historic Preservation Program. The
reason the City does historic preservation is due in large part to the demolition of the railroad depot that
was once located off of 2nd Street. Additional information can be found through the National Parks
Service and the Minnesota Historical Society. The city is certified for tax purposes,however,the only
building that would be eligible for tax credits would be the Exchange Bank building,and tax credits really
aren't a viable option for Farmington.

b. Possible Landmark Designation—521 Oak Street
Christine Deering,owner of 521 Oak Street,has expressed an interest in seeing her home designated as a

get the process started.
c. 33rd Annual Statewide Historic Preservation Conference

EX. A
Instructional Service Center
Analysis&Options
May 30,2013
ANALYSIS
The Instructional Service Center(ISC)facility is 108,120 square feet located on approximately 4 acres of
land. The original 1913 structure contains 26,010 square feet,15,240 square feet was added in 1929
and 66,870 square feet was added in 1961.
Early Childhood Family Education(ECFE)&Early Childhood Special Education(ECSE)programs occupy 6
classrooms(1961 addition)serving approximately 26 staff&101 children/students at varying times
during day and evening hours. ECFE&ECSE programs typically experience frequent relocation between
facilities,however,over the past several years have taken advantage of the stability and collaborative
opportunities while located at the ISC. These programs have unique equipment,bathroom amenities,
and playground access needs as well as appropriate geographical locations within the school district.
Adult Basic Education(ABE) program occupies 1 classroom(1961 addition)serving approximately 2 staff
&12 students/children at varying times during day and evening hours. ABE programs could be located
at different facilities.
Occupational Therapy occupies 1 classroom(1961 addition)serving several staff to provide therapy to
varying numbers of students. Programs can be established in other facilities as long as appropriate
equipment/apparatus is implemented.
Cheerleading programs such as the Varsity team,Spirit Squad,Sparklers,and competitive squads occupy
the cafeteria(1961 addition)on afternoons,evenings and weekends. The programs could function in
other district facilities.
Gymnastics programs include Varsity gymnastics,Midwest Amateur Gymnastics Association(MAGA),
and Twist N Tumble. Gymnastic programs occupy the gymnasium primarily on afternoons,evenings
and weekends. MAGA has 20 youth participants and hosts several competitive meets each year
involving approximately 80 gymnasts. Twist N Tumble currently has 250 participants with well over
1,300 registrations the past year. The Twist N Tumble&MAGA programs provide a feeder system to the
varsity program. All gymnastics programs share gymnastic apparatus. The gymnastics program has
become a large operation similar in some respects to large private gymnastic programs such as the
Thompson Academy of Gymnastics(TAGS). These programs could be relocated back to Boeckman
Middle School where it was housed years ago in gymnasiums#4. These gymnasiums are currently
booked heavily through Community Education for traveling basketball&softball/baseball clubs. This
would mean two fewer athletic spaces in a community already short of space. Equipment storage could
also be challenging.
The ISC 1913/1929 addition provides space for 11 Special Education,Nursing&Food Service district
level staff. The addition is also used for storage of furniture,equipment,files,etc..
INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICE CENTER OPTIONS
Option 1
Remain at the ISC and make necessary repairs to the extent resources are available. Relocate programs
in the future when the facility can no longer be occupied.
Option 2
Mothball,sell or demolish the entire structure&relocate programs to schools. This option would
reduce district operating budgets approximately$82,000 annually. The change would reduce the
number of athletic spaces available to the community. There will be some upfront moving&
equipment costs. Early Childhood programs would lose geographic&collaborative benefits.
Land sale value after demolition Is estimated at$347,000.Estimated demolition cost is$650,000 of
which$250,000 are hazardous materials that could be funded with Health&Safety revenue.
Consequently there would be a net one time financial cost of$53,000.
Sale value of the property"as is"is estimated at$108,000.
Property appraisal dated April 19,2013 was prepared by Evergreen Land Services,Inc.
Option 3
Remodel the entire facility estimated at$16.5 million: remodel the 1961 addition&demo the
1913/1929 addition estimated at$13 million;remodel the 1961 addition&mothball the 1913/1929
addition estimated at$9.5 million. Estimated costs were provided by the Cuningham Group.
