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.

Preserve old buildings. Gives the town character.

An friend was talking about a maker-space, I think that would be a cool space for it. Could use the exiting buildings, no need to tear down. Although it needs work it would be a shame to see the community center torn down.

People need more access to the lake. Less buildings please. We have a great opportunity here to make our most valuable resource more accessible and visible to the public

A view of the lake should be re-opened, whether through glass windows or by moving/adjusting height of the buildings. It should be a space to welcome visitors to the lake, and also support and promote local buisnesses.

Remodeling to reflect Old Tahoe. Fire Dept history, Tahoe history. Not a museum, but a great place for gatherings - charity fundraisers, weddings, etc. It could be come a way for the building to pay for itself through rentals and event planning.

If you want to compete with Truckee and the villages, get progressive and create vibrant small business space below, with options to include food/bev and build workforce housing above. Tahoe City needs to get some action going for younger residents, visitors and families. Think creatively and build the community and future economy into everything you consider. No more plazas, storage, vacant space and subsidy of non-profits led by people who don't live or work here in Placer County.

Leave the historical building, leave the character and rustic charm alone ! Do not build an ugly thing like the "transit center". Get some backbone and let us have some remaining character to our town ! Leave the firestation site as a little park......native plants etc.....pocket skating rink ?

Take existing buildings down to become aware of site attributes and then proceed with opportunity discussions

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 is nice to have something for the tourists, but they are only here for half of the year. Please remember the locals who could use the building year round. You will also need to do something more for parking so if that sort of thing is possible, remember that too. And I think it would be ideal to have part of that space for Placer County use. Like for conferences and training since the small offices further in town does not allow for much more than 20 people at a time. And parking there is tight too.

Our town needs place for preschool. This building would be a great space plus indoor play area. First 5 and Placer County could possibly partner?!

Childcare and community building space

What ever happens to the buildings please make sure the money that it generates ( if any ) stays in Tahoe City. We send enough money down the hill.

I like the charm of restoring/renovating old buildings vs. building new. Keep Tahoe City charming and vintage!

whether or not to demolish or refurbish would depend on costs analysis and final concept for building. I do like the idea of an amphitheater since we currently use a portable stage for music in the park; if that is the final then it only makes sense to use the buildings to support entertainment like concessions with spaces available to local food and beverage establishments.

Open the vista by removing the buildings. I can't think a better way to greet visitors to Lake Tahoe then a panoramic vista as you enter Tahoe City.

They two very unique and separate building types. The historic building is worth saving and the firehouse building is ugly but very substantial. It would need to be clad to make the exterior more fitting to the location. Tearing it all down is always an option but based on the glacial pace projects approved and built, I wouldn't recommend that!

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.

That old fire station definitely blocks the sightline from the town to the lake. The other buildings don't seem as bad.

We need to retain the buildings and use the space to revitalize town. There is no lake view if there buildings were to be torn down. We need vision and creativity to help with economic redevelopment. .

Our society is changing. No longer is there a need for a lot of "commercial" properties because of the internet. Tearing down the fire station and building a premises that could house a coffee shop, gym/climbing facility on the lower floor, and apts. on the upper floors would be the best use of these structures. One must think of the future and the changing aspects of our society.

I've co-chaired the Commons Beach Strategic Plan Committee back in 1999 and participated in all subsequent Fire House planning sessions. One theme has been consistent with those most involved through this process. And that is that this old firehouse MUST BE REMOVED. And the old Community Center building preserved for historical reasons, even if it must be moved to a new location. I will trust that the county will consider this strongly in their final decision making process. And please do not forget, Commons Beach (including the area with the Community Center and Fire House was deeded to The People of Tahoe City. The county does not own this property, they are simply the caretakers of this property. The best outcome would be to continue to have the TC PUD be given the responsibility to be the stewards of this property and be given a certain and reasonable budget to oversee it. This way the people of Tahoe City have local control of what rightfully belongs to them. Thank you.

Workforce housing needs to be a priority in our community! Employers are keeping shorter hours because our employees are loosing housing & therefore leaving town. Some of us want to build employee housing on our properties, but don't ha e the coverage to be allowed to do so. We need Placer County' to lighten building restrictions and lower permit costs so that full time residents can stay here. Places like Martis Camp will not help our community. Thank you.

We need better pedistrian and bike access to the lake. These buildings block prime views as well. I've been at the stop light at the Y and had people roll down their windows and ask me where the lake is. Not good for a tourist-based economy. With the re-routing of 89 and the Fanny Bridge project, seems like open space for walking/biking would be an excellent choice to me.

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.

Please do something about the pedestrian traffic in tahoe City, they need to control the crosswalks with times access. This free fovalk of people crossing every few seconds is causing gridlock at both ends! Thai problem could be solved so easily, much bigger issue than everything else you propose on spend th money and build prdestrian bridges. Please, please address this issue first.

remodel existing building. provide roof top business with great view, turn lower floor into small restaurant offering, possible bar and grill

The Downtown Assoc has proposed in a long-term vision document to remove as many buildings as possible along the lake waterfront to open up that side of the road to pedestrians and bike riders. Why not take this opportunity to start with these buildings? I've sat at the Y at the light and had people roll down their windows to ask where the lake is. Kinda sad for a tourist-based economy - a clear line of sight to the lake seems pretty simple.

The older smaller buildings should stay, The fire station is large, ugly and blocks what would be an amazing view.

I hope we come up with the perfect plan that most are in agreement on, seems to be difficult these days for that to happen. I am trying to think of what TC needs most and haven't come up with it yet but will continue to think and submit ideas. In some ways I would love to see open space with a view of the lake from that spot but on the other hand a well thought out and good use of the community center would be great as well. Think the fire station should come down, it's not an attractive building and blocks the view.
