I would like top see another restaurant option in the location of the old fire house - something with a view, outdoor dining...maybe a burgers and brew type restaurant with vegetarian options, and something that would not block the view of the lake. The NT Arts building is cute and has an "Old Tahoe" feel and could just be updated.
if the two other buildings other than the firehouse, could be relocated, that would have value, since they do exhibit some historical charm. Extremely expensive to do but could maintain some character for our town. The Firehouse has no character. This property has no parking and is not the best place for any commercial use. Open plaza with art is best use.
Keep the community!! Anything that brings the community together. Play Ground, Art space, Meeting space and Live performance space.
I would love to see this property benefit the entire community by incorporating multiple facilities including North Tahoe Arts, an upstairs bar/restaurant and a recreation facility.
Outdoor art gallery for sculpture to compliment the indoor art gallery space.
Demolish all buildings and rebuild so as to serve LOCAL needs with music, art, drama, and especially INDOOR recreation. Take care of our local kids for once instead of tourists!
It'd be great if this could be another theater of sorts with a stage so the community isn't limited to the small space in the Tahoe Art Haus. Also I would love it if the building could be turned into a recreation center of sorts with a pool which our community would utilize.
Don't touch the Arts Center. The fire house is not attractive, but perhaps could be made so with some clever design. The high ceilings of the old garage area lend itself to some great restaurant/pub opportunities.
The fire house does not need to be destroyed, just repurposed. It already has a great open space plan that can be easily and creatively modified for use and season. Having access to temporary commercial frontage space can be a great asset to Tahoe City. Pop up frontage allows for more diversity in our downtown and gives perspective entrepreneurs a chance to spread wings. The exterior of the building can also benefit greatly from public mural/art which would compliment the art gallery next door. WE do not need any more 'open space' downtown. We already have a poorly visited golf course that takes up over 90% of downtown.
This property would not work; but we need a state of the art swimming pool in or near Tahoe City.
