The CIP establishes a program of financial assistance to stimulate private sector investment in the rehabilitation and improvement of the designated Community Improvement Project Area. Program Objective and Details The objective of the FIP is to tie separate areas of the community together by improving the collective visual appeal of the downtown area. The program is designed to enhance the appearance of businesses along Kincardine's main street by building upon the Traditional theme of the original Business Improvement Area (BIA) streetscape. This will be accomplished through a coordinated effort to revert to the use of traditional heritage exterior colours and/or painting schemes that highlight specific architectural features. BACKGROUND: A number of buildings within the Program Area were built during the Victorian period (1850 to 1900). Many buildings have retained their original detailing, while some have been altered for various reasons, and others are contemporary infill building additions. The Kincardine Economic Development Committee (EDC) has an interest in improving the overall look and feel of downtown Kincardine. Stempski Kelly Associates Inc. were retained by the municipality to produce a fa<;:ade improvement guideline for the Municipality of Kincardine. The guideline illustrates how facades can be altered to satisfy the Committee's initiative to follow a Traditional Heritage theme. The Fac;:ade Improvement Guidelines are attached as Appendix 1. ELIGIBILITY & PROGRAM AREA: Eligibility Eligible properties are buildings used for commercial businesses within the Business Improvement Area, where the businesses are members of the BIA. Business owners may be an owner or tenant of the building within which their business operates. The business owner must have signed documentation from the landlord, approving and endorsing the project. The form required is attached as Appendix 2. Responsibility of Applicant The applicant is responsible for the quality and timeless manner of their project. The Kincardine EDC will not be responsible for work not completed according to the plan outlined in the application. e e e e Page 3 Kincardine BIA Community Improvement Plan By-law No. 2008 -025 Factors under Consideration . A complete fayade project is more favourable than just a sign or flower box. . The applicant must ensure communication has occurred with neighbouring businesses in order to ensure that neighbouring projects compliment one another. Documentation must be completed in the application. . Signage matching the building using overhead lighting. . The subcommittee prefers that an applicant use colours from the Heritage/Historical Paint Collection. . A detailed breakdown of the project is enclosed along with supporting documentation. Program Area The map below indicates the properties within the Business Improvement Area. FUNDING: Funding awarded to successful applicants will subsidize up to 50% of costs (to a maximum, depending on building frontage) associated with improving the exterior fayade of their place of business. Basic funding formula is 50% of total project costs (not including taxes). To determine the funding cap for the occupied building: 1. Measure the linear distance (in feet) along the sides of the building that face the main street(s). If more than one business resides in one building the frontage measurement should reflect only the portion of the building that the business occupies. e e e e Page 4 Kincardine BIA Community Improvement Plan By-law No. 2008 -025 2. For frontage measurements at or below 50 feet the funding cap is $2,00000 Applicants may undertake the work themselves, but cannot submit labour costs as part of the project. Only quotes obtained from local contractors are eligible for fund ing. The approved funding will be dispersed upon completion and final inspection of the project. In order to receive payment, the applicant must submit copies of all paid invoices to the Kincardine EDC. The Kincardine EDC only has a specific amount of funding available for this project. Once it is dispersed, the project will be ended. METHODOLOGY: The fa<;:ade improvements that are eligible for funding include: . Painting and/or cladding of buildings . Signage upgrades/replacement . Frontal illumination for signage . Masonry repair . Awnings, shutters, trim, glass repair, vinyl graphics, wood repair . Replacement of windows and doors returned to their original heritage look DELlVERABLES & GOVERNANCE: Application Form The Application Form is attached as Appendix 2. Deadlines Application Deadline Work Timeline Submission of Paid Invoices by: November 30, 2008 JulY' 11, 2009 November 20, 2010 November 30, 2007 Ma 30, 2008 November 30, 2008 November 15, 2008 June 30, 2009 November 15, 2009 Review, Evaluation & Approval Applications are evaluated by a subcommittee comprised of members from the Kincardine EDC, BIA and Heritage Kincardine immediately following the deadlines date(s). The subcommittee will review the applications and will either recommend approval or will request additional information This process is expected to take 2-3 weeks. If an application is declined, the applicant may submit again. If an application is approved, the applicant is only eligible for funding once. The subcommittee will notify the applicant that their application has been approved and the applicant will be required to sign a legal contract before the project is started. The applicant will be assigned a subcommittee contacUliaison, who can provide guidance and support for the duration of the project. Approval of the application does not include any approval for any necessary permits (e.g. Building, encroachment, etc.) that an applicant may need to complete a project. The applicant should contact the Municipal Office at (519) 396-3468 for information on by-laws, permits, etc. e e e e Page 5 Kincardine BIA Community Improvement Plan By-law No 2008 -025 Assistance Assistance with colour choices is available by contacting the local paint supply business.

Measure the linear distance (in ft) along the sides of the building that face the main street(s). If more than one business resides in one building the frontage measurement should refiect only the portion of the building that the business occupies. 2. For frontage measurements at or beiow 20ft the funding cap is $2500. 3. For frontage measurements at or beiow 130ft the funding cap is $5000. 4. For frontage measurements between 20ft and 130ft substitute the frontage measurement into the following formula. Funding Cap ($) = 15.625 x (measured frontage in ft) + 2187.5
