No, 10231% Form W-9 (Rev 10.2018) Laurel Auto Clinic LURA Grant Application Project Description We plan to renovate Laurel Auto Clinic in two phases. This grant application concerns Phase I of the project. In this phase the existing residence and blight on the property will be demolished and the site cleaned up to make way for future expansion of the business. Current State of the Property Right now, there are two separate buildings on the property. The first building is Laurel Auto Clinic which is an automotive shop that consists of 6 automotive bays and a waiting room. There are currently no bathrooms in this building. The second building on the property is a residence that is old and in disrepair. The basement has repeatedly flooded causing mold growth and foundation damage and the roof has leaked multiple times in the past 10 years also causing water damage to the ceiling and walls of the house. As it currently stands, the house is uninhabitable. The only bathroom available to staff is in that residence. Right now, staff must physically leave the automotive shop, step outside the building and into the residence to use a small bathroom consisting of just one sink, and one toilet. This is also the only available facility for employees to wash their hands. The current waiting room is 10'X19.5" and has room for just three waiting chairs and one desk for an employee. There are no restrooms available to customers currently. Phase I — Current Upgrade Project Phase I includes the demolition and removal of the residential structure on the property. Asbestos abatement will be needed for this portion of the project. Once the structure is removed, that portion of the lot will be filled with dirt and gravel to prepare the site for future expansion of the business in Phase II. Phase I also includes adding two bathrooms into the waiting room of the business. This water improvement portion of the project will include plumbing all new water and sewer lines into the shop. The new bathrooms will be ADA accessible for all customers and staff. These bathrooms will also ensure that we can provide the best access to soap and water to increase sanitation and good hygiene practices and reduce the spread of germs like the novel coronavirus. It facilitates a safer environment, so staff and customers do not have to exit the building in potentially icy or slippery conditions to access the restroom. The last portion of Phase I is a structural improvement that will expand the waiting room and create an employee and staff office. We will remove one of the existing bays to create space for the waiting room, bathrooms, and office. Three energy efficient windows will be installed creating a more attractive and welcoming customer experience. Energy efficient LED lighting will be installed. Phase II — FUTURE EXPANSION Phase II, not included in this application, will be to demolish the oldest two bays of the shop and construct a new addition consisting of 7 automotive work bays. This will increase the number of bays in the shop by a net total of 5 bays. Adding increased capacity to the shop will allow us to serve more members of the community, increase the tax revenue for the TIF district, and employ more people in our community. Phase II will also create a more welcoming and appealing exterior to the shop that better reflects the charming and vibrant city that is Laurel, MT. Project Timeline Phase I will be completed in 2021, dependent on contractor availability. Phase II is targeted for completion by 2025, dependent on funding. Phase I Relevance to the Goals of the Laurel Urban Renewal Plan and Laurel Gateway Plan Encourage an economically and culturally vibrant downtown This project will promote economic development within the TIF District by removing the uninhabitable residence and blight on the property. By demolishing the blighted structure on the lot, we can make room for an expansion to the business that will allow us to serve more members of the community. This will also create a more welcoming and inviting environment in the city by improving the visual attractiveness of our community. Once phase II is completed, we will have a net addition of 5 bays to the automotive business. This will lead to increased business revenue and therefore tax revenue for the community. It will also facilitate increased employment for members of the Laurel Community at Laurel Auto Clinic as we will have to hire 2 more mechanics and an office manager to keep up with increased workload. Create a vibrant and cohesive extension of the core downtown Laurel area By improving the fayade and attractiveness of the business, we hope to extend the charm of Downtown Laurel to the edges of the downtown district. Right now, it feels as if Laurel Auto Clinic is an industrial setting right in the middle of two vibrant food businesses. This expansion and facade improvement will create a better sense of culture and cohesiveness to this area of town that is more welcoming to visitors. Have state of the art utilities and infrastructure This renovation of the waiting room will bring the water and sewer systems up to code for this property. We will be able to offer sanitation facilities to our staff and guests that are state of the art and will encourage good hygiene practices to mitigate the spread of potentially harmful viruses and bacteria. It also creates a more welcoming experience for our customers and guests. Improvements to the waiting room including LED lighting and three new insulated and energy efficient windows. A new and energy efficient front door that is welcoming and attractive will also be installed. This will decrease utility costs for the business, increase natural lighting in the waiting room, and increase overall attractiveness of the business to community members. i" 1 I P 8 C IV 1 PHASEIPLAN PRED GN CGLLABGRATIVE DESIGNNCINIECTS LAUREL AUTO CLINIC ,- COUA+ro.cwesu�+cs. m ss�mmczu;uz Residence Interior Residence Interior Residence Exterior 0 r All 7TW7, --� Current Bathroom Laurel Auto Clinic Front Exterior Laurel Auto Clinic Waiting Room and Current Bay 0' GO M
