Private businesses can apply to the State for loan funds. All applications for financing assistance must be sponsored by the City or County in which the business project is located. The project proponent has purchased the Grainger Building at the Northeast corner of 1st and Washington in the Waterfront Urban Renewal area of downtown Bremerton. They would like to submit an application to the State Development Loan Fund for %50,000. City support of this application is required for submission. If the application is approved by the State, it will transfer the loan funds to Yesterday's, Today's and Tomorrow's, Inc., via the City's Community Services Division which administers Federal Block Grant funds on behalf of the City and is familiar with the=requirements for use of Block Grant funds. Carol Dickinson Community Services Manager, emphasized this was a nice opportunity for the City of Bremerton to help a new business to Bremerton, but a long standing business, to relocate to the City's Urban Renewal Area. The City will act as a "pass through" of State funds that are necessary to help this business get started, and there is no liability in regard to the use of these funds on behalf of the City of Bremerton. Marlann Harris, proponent, explained her plans to develop three different business ventures on the site she recently purchased: (1) a deli/convenience store located on 1st Street; (2) large emporium/soda fountain, which will have a 40-50's look; (3) a children's store - sale of items that appeal to children. She explained that was where the concept of "Yesterday's, Today's and Tomorrow's" came from. She has already applied for and received financing from the Small Business Administration as well as Puget Sound Bank and the application to the State, ($50,000), is the last piece of her financing needs to start operations of those businesses. Chris GreenlV, State Department Of Community Development/Finance Program, stated the Community Development Loan Fund is a "gap" financing program. When a project cannot get total financing, they can come in as a last resort to get the project going. The main thing they are looking for beyond credit worthiness is a "job creation" component, and in this case there is and will be good use for State dollars. Public comment - none. #1111 TAPE #929 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes June 19, 1991 Page 6 of 7 Mr. Overson questioned if this loan program was open to anyone in the public who felt they had a business need that met the program's requirements? Mr. Greenly stated yes. M/S/C/U(Waibel/Colvin) to approve Resolution #2351 in support of the application to the Washington State Development Loan Fund to be submitted by Yesterday's, Today's and Tomorrow's Inc., and authorize the Community Services and the City Treasurer to collect and transfer these loan funds to Yesterday's, Today's and Tomorrow's, Inc., and to complete the required federal environmental clearances. 7D - RESOLUTION NO. 2352, OUALHEIM FINAL PLAT; LOCATION: 5220 FIRST STREET; APPLICANT: BREMERTON SCHOOL DISTRICT, #AB91-164 After a public hearing on March 20, 1991, the City Council approved the preliminary plat for the Qualheim Subdivision subject to the condition that "Prior to Final Plat approval, the applicant shall confirm the accuracy of all property lines and amend the Final Plat subject to the review and approval by the City Engineer." (The property line shown along First Street was incorrect.) The amended Final Plat submitted has been reviewed and approved by the Engineering Department and is now submitted to the City Council for Final Plat approval. Jack A11ingham, Current Planning, stated this was the final step of a two part process in the subdivision process. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 19, 1991, and made a recommendation to the City Council of approval of the Preliminary Plat. The City Council, at a March 20, 1991, hearing approved the Preliminary Plat subject tothe condition that the applicant verify property lines. At that time, there was an issue regarding the property line along First Street. Since that time, the applicant has amended the property line, with the City Engineering approving. that amendment. Public Comment - none. Mr. Overson questioned exactly what would be done if this request was approved? Mr. Allingham explained the Council will be allowing a new building site to be created and future development will occur within an industrialized zoning district in the City of Bremerton. There will be future development of a proposed warehouse for a roofing contractor. Mr. Overson stated for clarification that this would not affect the zoning. Mr. Allingham stated that was correct, the plat was reviewed for compliance with zoning but does not change zoning of the site...the site is zoned General Industry. Mr. Overson questioned why was Council reviewing the Plat? Mr. Allinqham explained the City has adopted a Short Plat Ordinance, which makes the subdivision of four view properties an Administrative decision. This site had been subdivided into four #1263 TAPE #929 ~ City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes June 19, 1991 Page 7 of 7 parcels within the last five years and one parcel is being further subdivided into two more parcels.
