We also made progress on formalizing designs on the Wayfinding project and kicked off the Crosswalk study. We also spent time completing foundational work supporting several initiatives prioritized for the upcoming year, including discussions regarding the Cottage strategy. Work continued on Small Business Saturday planning. The following meetings occurred between October 12-November 9, including:

P.O. BOX 381, Windsor, CO 80550 www.windsordda.com

Backlot – A milestone was completed this month in the closing on the Bertsch property. Thanks to Dan for attending the closing and padlocking the buildings. Staff have received approval of grant funds to complete asbestos and lead-based paint testing as a precursor to demolition of the structures. We have also completed the application materials for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a gravel parking lot to be built early in 2019 to accommodate the shift from the 400 Block. Note that this permit allowing a gravel lot is temporary and a permanent solution will need to be identified if the permit is approved by the Town. The current budget includes funding for demolition, and the Town has agreed to paying half of the demo costs. The case to resolve the Area of Unknown Ownership is progressing. In addition to the legal steps being handled by the Town, the DDA helped to facilitate a meeting between the Town, Xcel Energy and Brinkman to explore next steps in addressing utilities in the area. Specifically, we discussed the process for undergrounding the electrical and how to get a work order on Xcel’s list. The undergrounding of utilities has been a priority for the DDA since inception and this enhancement will remove the overhead utility poles which occupy space and limit the current function in the area for parking, trash, and circulation. Design of options for the 400 Block has been progressing. Brinkman received a variety of feedback on the initial concept and will be making some adjustments. One major change suggested by a community member was to retain the parking on the 400 Block and develop Bertsch commercially. The placement of parking on the Bertsch Lot provides several long-term advantages to the Downtown: 1) It is centrally located to serve a larger portion of the DDA, and 2) Based on the library feasibility study, it could be built into a small parking structure in the future. Brinkman is working on financial analysis of the project and looks to bring forward details soon. Work continues with the American Legion to explore their options. The Phase I report has been completed and a Phase II environmental is recommended to sample for contaminants, including asbestos and lead paint. A soil sample may also be taken to try to identify why the basement floor has buckled. Financial analysis on redevelopment of this block is also pending. Main Street – The Main Street Summit was held Nov 1-2 in Montrose. This training is a required session as part of our participation in the program. Costs are eligible for reimbursement under our Training Grant. The sessions were largely focused around grant and funding opportunities. We heard from representatives from the Colorado Tourism Office who have several technical assistance grants that may be of interest to the DDA and Town. Grants up to $15,000 can be secured for a variety of tourism marketing efforts. Last month, we also benefitted from the program’s Pickaxe Workshop on strategic messaging and branding. A destination brand for Historic Windsor was presented and future discussions should include how we want to use the information. Recommendations and observations are included in the summary report. A new Elf Hunt logo has been integrated into our promo materials. Additional action steps should be discussed. The Cottage planning discussion moved forward as well with a kickoff call to scope out the assistance Main Street will provide. We anticipate a facilitated discussion and workshop with summary action steps will be provided. We are also looking to

schedule a workshop on lodging and tourism facilitated by a Main Street contractor at no cost sometime in January. Façade Improvement Program The Colorado Main Street architect, Larry Lucas, was present at our Business Appreciation Event after having met with a building own to discuss design concepts. This model could work to provide design assistance as owners consider using the Façade Improvement Program in the future.

Parking / Crosswalk

Staff met Paul Mills to kick off the project on 11/7. We discussed the project scope and different elements of DDA work that could influence the project. During our site walk, we identified several opportunities, including one low cost solution of increasing the size of the stripes on the crosswalks to enhance visibility. Paul is connecting with our wayfinding consultant and the Town’s engineer as he looks into recommendations.

The Park Late program received a fair amount of interest at the Business Appreciation Event. Specific comments will be integrated into the materials to generate a next step of outreach directly to prospective property owners.

Wayfinding Project

Kristin Cypher has continued her efforts in gathering feedback on the wayfinding signage. We will receive an update on October 23 with initial design concepts being presented at the Business Appreciation Event. The anticipated schedule is as follows:

November 14 - Board Update November 27 – Evening Open House – 4:00PM – 7:00PM at Toast December 1 – Open House (Final Plan) - Windsor Wonderland December 19th – DDA Final Plan Review January – Final DDA Approval February – Town Approval

Small Business Saturday

Staff began working on the small business Saturday planning for November 24th. The Marketing Committee discussed several logistics, including printing of posters and window decals, boosting a geo-located facebook ad, and purchasing small toys to give away at Windsor Wonderland.

Marketing/Communications

We also have created 6 additional business promotion videos highlighting “What Windsor Wants” to post on Facebook. These will be provided to our soci al media manager and posted over the next several weeks. More videos will be created until we have completed the majority of retail businesses in the district.
