Statement of Proposed Use; Description of the Project

The project discussed in this Application includes the restoration of, relighting of, and addition of a security fence to the existing Grain Belt sign, located at 4 West Island Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota (the “Sign”). It is worth noting that no structural changes or repairs are planned or requested at this time, nor is there any demolition planned for the site. With respect to the porcelain Sign (exclusive of the lighting features on the Sign), no changes or other modifications are planned, with the exception of minor rust removal and/or prevention and removal of the empty billboard space located on the rear of the Sign. While not currently planned as part of the necessary restoration efforts, minor paint touch-ups (to match the existing colors) and graffiti removal, may be conducted, as is determined to be necessary by SML Electrical Inc., the contractor for the Project (“SML”). Regarding the lighting of the Sign, at present, the Sign contains largely non-functional incandescent lightbulbs, which originally spelled out the words “Grain Belt Beer,” as well as green, red and amber neon tubes comprising the border of the Sign, bottle cap details, and inner diamond, respectively. SML plans to replace the existing incandescent lightbulbs with energy- efficient LED lamps in warm white with color-changing capabilitie. This particular color mimics that of the original incandescent bulbs (both when off and on), and preserves the ability to light individual letters in a designated sequence (as the original lighting of the Sign allowed for the letters to spell out “Grain Belt” one letter at a time, with “Beer” flashing, all-lit at the end of the sequence). The original neon will be replaced with energy-efficient contour LED lights with color-changing capabilities. The LED lights are similarly sized to the original neon tubing and will be as closely color matched as possible. That said, August Schell Brewing Co. would like the ability to change the colors of the lights on the Sign for special occasions (e.g. Fourth of July, Aquatennial, etc.), thus the replacement lights will have this added capability. August Schell has considered the possibility of re-lighting the Sign with neon, but has found the same to be impractical, inefficient, significantly more prone to issues/problems (it is believed that replacement with neon would merely perpetuate the Sign’s past trend of “going dark” after restorative efforts, as the neon was consistently the culprit), and cost-prohibitive. For these reasons, replacement with neon is not an option that August Schell is willing to consider at this time. Installation costs alone would be a minimum of $150,000.00, and the overall cost for electricity to the neon is estimated to be 80% higher than the LED proposed, making it highly inefficient. Additional maintenance of the neon would also be cost-prohibitive. It is estimated that maintenance visits for neon-related issues cost $5,000.00 per service, and additionally, given that the neon is produced overseas, there would be a several-week lag time in replacing/repairing the neon each time it goes down. The LED technology August Schell is proposing will preserve the historical look of the Sign, be far more energy efficient, more reliable and will give the Sign a much better chance at being lit for years to come. At present, there is no security fence located around the Sign, which has allowed the Sign to become a magnet for graffiti and also a potential safety hazard. In order to protect both the relit Sign and the public, generally, SML will also install a new, metal mesh security fence wrapping the steel structure of the Sign, which fence will also include a horizontal base (made of the same fencing material) to deter climbers from entering the Sign structure from below, given that the fence will not touch the ground below the Sign at any point around the Sign’s base. The fence will be approximately 15 feet tall on three of the four sides; the river-facing portion of the

1

8265396v2 fence will conclude at or near the existing catwalk located on the front face of the Sign). The fence will be installed above the existing footings located at the base of the structural portion of the Sign at the highest elevation-point of the property located immediately below the Sign (see depiction for details). The fence will be attached to the exterior of the existing steel frame structure of the Sign using brackets; SML does not plan to drill additional holes into the structure unless absolutely necessary. The fence will be painted with a powder-coated black, to match the color of the existing structure and to minimize contrast, with a graffiti-resistant paint. The top of the fence will have an angled overhand, so as to deter climbing, and an access doorway through the fence will be located at the top of the hill upon which the Sign structure is situated. Finally, SML plans to remove and/or cut back 5 existing trees growing within or around the existing structural base of the Sign, as such trees/plants have been used by “urban explorers” to gain access to the Sign. Removal of this vegetation, however, will be as minimal as possible – SML is simply planning to remove what is necessary for safety reasons. Overall, precise care has been taken by SML to ensure that the new features (lights, and fencing) are largely consistent (or at a minimum, in line with) the original and existing Sign. SML performed the relighting and restoration work on the Sign back in the 1980s; they are intimately familiar with the original look and feel of the Sign, as well as it’s iterations and changes over the past several decades. Please see the enclosed mock-ups, site plan, photographs, etc. for additional details on the scope of the Project.

Written Statement

The Applicant has been advised by City Planning staff that a variance (steep slope) and Certificate of Appropriateness will be required in connection with this Project. Below are Applicant’s responses to the required findings necessary for a Certificate of Appropriateness:

1. The alteration is compatible with the designation of the landmark or historic district, including the period and criteria of significance. As more fully described above, the nature and character of the relighting of the Sign has been carefully considered to preserve the original integrity, look and feel of the Sign, while restoring the Sign’s functionality, visibility and appeal within the community. The porcelain Sign itself will remain largely untouched throughout the process described above, with the exception of minor rust removal and paint touch-ups relating thereto. The installation of new LED contour lighting and LED bulbs to replace the existing, neon and incandescent bulbs continues to preserve the character of the Sign, and will not noticeably alter the visual appeal or appearance of the sign (as sizing, color and channel inlays of the proposed lights are unobtrusive and largely similar to the existing neon and incandescent bulbs – which, it is worth noting, are largely un- original to the Sign, having been replaced in the late 1980s). In addition, the color-changing capabilities of the proposed LED lights will help connect the sign to the community in which it exists, allowing it to become an integral and important part of significant communal events, matters of cultural, historical, or social significance, and neighborhood festivities. Further, the restoration of functionality through these replacement lights serves to bolster the Sign’s communal and historical significance from its presently un-lit state to the original, 1950s lit iteration (as the Sign was unlit from 1975 to 1989, and again fell dark a few years later until present day). The proposed security fence, while not original to the Sign, is intended to preserve the historical elements and significance of the Sign by protecting the Sign from vandals and urban explorers; design and materials for the fence were selected largely for their abilities to blend in to the existing structural components of the Sign and enhance, rather than detract from, the overall appearance of the Sign. The Sign, through this preservation and relighting, will become more a part of the community than it already is.

2. The alteration will ensure the continued integrity of the landmark or historic district. While our response to this finding is largely described in Item 1, above, Applicant wishes to reiterate that the restoration and relighting of the Sign will not only preserve the existing significance of the Sign as an historical landmark, but will add to and enhance the visibility, appeal, community connection with, and integrity of the Sign as a whole, including the addition of the security fence (as also described above). Restorative efforts and added security features (the fencing) made or installed as part of the project will add to, preserve and hopefully ensure a longer lifetime for the Sign. The design aspects of the relighting are in-line with the existing lighting, with added functionality (for color-changing capabilities), which will also preserve and reconnect the Sign with the surrounding community. The restoration and relighting is not intended to detract from the current character of the Sign, but rather to enhance what already exists. The location of the Sign remains untouched from its location in 1950; the design of the Sign remains as it was when it was built in 1941 (with the exception of the additional Minneapolis logo, which was added at a later time); and the setting

1

8265396v2 will remain largely untouched (with the exception of the removal, for safety purposes, of existing trees/brush growing into the structural components of the Sign). While Applicant proposes to change the existing neon and incandescent lights to energy-efficient LED lights, the integrity of the design, color-scheme, and visual appearance will remain unaltered. SML, the contractor, conducted the preservation and relighting work on the Sign back in the 1980s; their existing knowledge and understanding of the Sign’s character and changes over the years is unparalleled in the community. Through careful preservation of the existing porcelain, installation of LED contour and bulb lights, preservation of the flash-sequencing of the lighting on the Sign, and overall protection of the Sign through the newly added security fence, the character of the Sign will hopefully be preserved for many years to come, while remaining the same iconic vision over the river that it has been for decades.

3. The alteration is consistent with the applicable design guidelines adopted by the commission. Yes, the proposed restoration and relighting is consistent with applicable design guidelines adopted by the HPC. The message of the Sign remains unchanged from its construction in the 1940s, as does the existing porcelain of the Sign itself (along with the incorporated lighting design, which will be unchanged through this project). The number and location of the Sign will be unchanged through this project, and the color of the Sign (both the porcelain and lights) will remain largely changed through this project, being matched as closely as possible to the existing hues. That said, August Schell Brewing Company, in an effort to preserve and re-connect the Sign to the community, proposes the ability to change the colors on the Sign for significant events (e.g. holidays, City celebrations, etc.). Applicant views this capability as an enhancement to the existing Sign as well as a way to preserve the longevity and connectivity of the Sign to the community for years to come. The Sign enhances its surroundings and the greater community, does not block the neighboring structures, and serves as a visual icon along the – visible from quite a distance.

4. The alteration is consistent with the applicable recommendations contained in The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. While the guidelines set forth in the referenced text are largely inapplicable to the project, as it does not involve the restoration, renovation, preservation, etc. of an existing building, and the materials used in the Sign fall largely outside the scope covered in the text, Applicant asserts that the proposed project will preserve and retain the historical character and nature of the Sign. Through minimal restoration and relighting, the Sign will be used and functional as it was originally. The text further suggests that replacement of wiring is often necessary to meet modern requirements; the current neon tubes and incandescent bulbs have lost much of their functionality. Replacement of such lights with LED lighting, with the ability to color-match as closely as possible to the original, will preserve the integrity and design of the Sign while following the same layout and similar sizing of materials. The proposed relighting and fence installation will be done in a way that is both physically and visually compatible with original (as modified through the years) Sign. As noted above, the lighting is of similar size, color, and design of that on the original Sign. The security fence was designed to be as unobtrusive and visually compatible with the existing steel frame structure of the Sign as possible; it will also be installed in the lease obtrusive manner through the use of brackets, rather than drilled holes, in the existing structure. All modifications and

2

8265396v2 restorative efforts will be documented by SML, the contractor – in a similar fashion to their prior restoration efforts done to the Sign back in the 1980s. All distinctive materials, features and designs on the Sign will be preserved through the project. The porcelain will remain largely untouched (with minor restorative efforts), and the logo and lighting design will remain unaltered. SML and Applicant have carefully evaluated this project to determine an appropriate level of intervention; materials have been chosen to match or mimic the original, and the patina of the Sign will be preserved.

5. The alteration is consistent with the spirit and intent of the preservation ordinance, the applicable policies of the comprehensive plan, and the applicable preservation policies in small area plans adopted by the city council. The purpose of the preservation ordinance, Minneapolis, Minnesota Code of Ordinances Chapter 599.30, is to “promote the recognition, preservation, protection and reuse of landmarks, historic districts, conservation districts, and historic resources; to promote the economic growth and general welfare of the city; to further educational and cultural enrichment; to implement the policies of the comprehensive plan, and to provide for the administration of this title including the powers and duties of officials and bodies charged with such administration, the standards for required approvals and the procedures for its enforcement.” Similarly, the Minneapolis Comprehensive Plan notes that its purpose is to “promote the sustainable practice of protecting and reusing our culturally significant built and natural environment, including buildings, districts, landscapes, and historic resources, while advancing growth through preservation policies.” Finally, the Nicollet Island-East Bank Neighborhood small area plan states a given purpose of “enliven[ing] the neighborhood with art and entertainment at key locations,” and states major strategic goals of “adapt[ing] to contemporary use the historical character, [and] unique architecture” and “act[ing] as stewards of the environment, valuing sustainability, energy conservation, minimal surface water run-off, and re-use/reduce/recycle economies.” This blend of historical preservation with a forward-looking, long-term, environmentally sustainable, community enlivening modern adaptation is precisely what the current Sign project aims to do. There are few historical landmarks in the Minneapolis area (especially in the area of the Mississippi waterway) that are as immediately recognizable as the Grain Belt Sign. The Sign has remained dark and unlit for far too long. That said, Applicant’s approach of using slightly modernized materials helps to achieve this two-prong result indicated in all of the above plans and policies – preserving the historical significance while also looking toward the future. The materials chosen and design (of the new fence) were selected wholly for these reasons; they represent an ideal blend of achieving and preserving the original feel, look and integrity of the Sign while also presenting a more environmentally-friendly, durable, long term option for the Sign in the decades to come.

Good afternoon,

This message is being sent by our office on behalf of August Schell Brewing Company (“August Schell”), the owner of 4 West Island Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401, and the Grain Belt Beer sign, as required by the Heritage Preservation Commission (the “HPC”).

As you are likely well aware, August Schell plans to preserve and relight the Grain Belt Beer sign. In order to do so, August Schell is required to obtain (1) a variance for the steep slope present at the property and (2) a Certificate of Appropriateness from the HPC. In connection with its application for a Certificate of Appropriateness, August Schell is required to reach out to all applicable neighborhood associations as well as the applicable City councilmember to describe the project and provide relevant contact information, should you want to reach out for further information.

Please see below and feel free to reach out with any questions, comments or concerns:

The Grain Belt sign project will include the restoration of, relighting of, and addition of a security fence to the existing Grain Belt sign; no structural changes or repairs are planned or requested at this time, nor is there any demolition planned for the site.

With respect to the porcelain Sign (exclusive of the lighting features on the Sign), no changes or other modifications are planned, with the exception of minor rust removal and/or prevention with accompanying minor paint touch-ups and graffiti removal, as is determined to be necessary by SML Electrical Inc., the contractor for the Project (“SML”).

Regarding the lighting of the Sign, at present, the Sign contains largely non-functional incandescent lightbulbs, which originally spelled out the words “Grain Belt Beer,” as well as neon tubes comprising the border of the Sign, bottle cap details and Minneapolis City logo, and inner diamond. SML plans to replace the existing incandescent lightbulbs with energy-efficient LED lamps in warm white, which color mimics that of the original incandescent bulbs, and preserves the ability to light individual letters in a designated sequence (as the original lighting of the Sign allowed for the letters to spell out “Grain Belt” one letter at a time, with “Beer” flashing, all-lit at the end of the sequence). The original neon will be replaced with energy-efficient contour LED lights with color-changing capabilities. The LED lights are similarly sized to the original neon tubing and will be as closely color matched as possible. That said, August Schell would like the ability to change the colors of the lights on the Sign for special occasions (e.g. Fourth of July, Aquatennial, etc.), thus the replacement lights will have this added capability.

In order to protect both the relit Sign and the public, generally, SML will also install a new, approximately 15 foot tall metal mesh security fence wrapping the base of the structural components of the Sign. At present, there is no security fence located around the Sign, which has allowed the Sign to become a magnet for graffiti and also a potential safety hazard. The fence will be painted black, to match the color of the existing structure and to minimize contrast, with a graffiti-resistant paint. The sharp face of the mesh will be facing the exterior and the top of the fence will have an angled overhand, so as to deter climbing.

1 Finally, SML plans to remove and/or cut back some of existing trees and brush growing within or around the existing structural base of the Sign, as such trees/plants have been used by “urban explorers” to gain access to the Sign. Removal of this vegetation, however, will be as minimal as possible – SML is simply planning to remove what is necessary for safety reasons.

Personnel with SML performed the relighting and restoration work on the Sign back in the 1980s; they are intimately familiar with the original look and feel of the Sign, as well as its iterations and changes over the past several decades. Precise care has been taken by August Schell and SML to ensure that the new features (lights, and fencing) are largely consistent (or at a minimum, in line with) the original and existing Sign.

RE: Grain Belt sign restoration – 4 West Island Avenue

Dear Nic:

Justin Weinberg from Briggs and Morgan and Kyle Marti from August Schell Brewing Company met with the DMNA Land Use Committee on May 2, and presented a Certificate of Appropriateness application for the Grain Belt sign restoration project.

Weinberg and Marti explained that the Grain Belt sign restoration project will include the relighting of the sign; the addition of a security fence; and the removal or cut-back of some of the existing trees and brush growing within or around the existing structural base of the sign. They noted that the removal of the vegetation, will be as minimal as possible, and is for safety purposes. They stated that no structural changes or repairs to the sign are planned or requested at this time, nor is there any demolition planned for the site.

After hearing the presentation and asking a few questions, the Land Use Committee recommended support for August Schell Companies Certificate of Appropriateness application for the Grain Belt sign restoration project.
