Discussion Staff members Ginny Gaynor and Nick Carver presented the 2015 Demolition Report at the January 14, 2016 HPC meeting. A copy of the report is attached (Attachment 1). Commissioner Currie asked staff to follow-up to see whether there was also a demolition permit for a garage at the corner of Roselawn and Lee. There are no permits recorded for 663 Roselawn. There was a moving permit for 675 Roselawn to move a garage to the site. There was no demolition permit. Most owners would seek a demolition permit because if they do not,the demolished structure would continue to be taxed on the structure.

One of the potential goals is designating a historic site. Discussion As a Certified Local Government the city is required to designate historic sites locally or on the National Registerof Historic Places.There is one National Register site in Maplewood – the Ramsey County Poor House Barn.And there is one locally designated site – the Bruentrup Heritage Farm. In 2015, the HPC developed procedures, abrochure, and anapplication form for a local designation program. Commissioner Currie has requested that the Commission discuss designating Gladstone Savannaas a historic site.He provided staff with a packet of materials regarding the Savanna. It included: 1) November 3, 2011 memo to the Commission regarding the site master plan, 2) October 3, 2012 memo to the Commission regarding historic investigation at the site, 3) a draft of what looks to be the Gladstone walking tour, and 4) the local designation nomination form with a some blanks filled in for the Savanna site. At the January 2016 HPC meeting, commissionersdiscussed designating a site as a 2016 goal but did not determine a site. The HPC has had past discussions on sites to designate, including both private sites and city-owned sites. TheHPC should discuss what site to designate, whether it should be designated locally or on the National Register, and who will help complete the application form. What Site to Designate.In 2015, the HPC updated its list of places that may be historically significant. It included bothcity-owned sites and sites in private ownership. Designating a city- owned site will eliminate the step of working witha private owner. In addition, because the HPC has not yet done a designation, doing acity-owned site would be a good test of our procedures. If the HPC would like to designate a private site, it would want to review the list of sites and talk to property owners to determine which site to designate. If the commissiondecidesto designate a city-owned site, the two most often mentioned candidates have beenGladstone Savanna and Fish CreekNatural Area.There has been discussion about designating thefire stations atpast HPC meetings, but the only station over 50 years old owned by the city is the Londin Lane station and the CityCouncil made a decision to sell that site. Page 12 F2 Gladstone Savanna is a 26-acre preserve located at the corner of Frost Avenue and English Street. The site is significant historically because it was center of early industry in Maplewood, as the location of the Gladstone Shops of theSt. Paul and Duluth Railroad. A roundhouse and repair shops were built in 1887-1888. The railroad activities ceased on the site by 1915. All buildings were removed from the siteby 1979so there are no historic structures on the site. There is extensive documented history on this site, including archeological reports on some of theunderground foundations. The City’s Fish Creek Natural Area is a 70-acre preserve at the corner of Carver Avenue and Henry Lane. It ishistorically significant due to the Native American artifacts from the Late Woodland period (700-1100 A.D.)that have beenunearthedat the site. The archeological area is on both city-owned land and county-owned land. Reports prepared by archeologists summarize the findingsand are available at http://www.maplewoodmn.gov/1514/Fish-Creek- Archeology. Both the Gladstone Savanna and Fish Creek are good candidates for local designation. Both sites are slated for future improvements, and concept plans to celebrate the site history and require protection of artifacts or foundations. The Fish Creek site has the added complication of having a second land owner – Ramsey County. Local vs. National Designation.The second question the commission needs to consider is whether the site should be designated locally or nominated for the National Register of Historic Places. The HPC developed itslocal designation program in 2015 and the brochure explaining that program and the National Register program is attached (Attachment 1).More information on the National Register is available at: http://www.nps.gov/nr/. The HPC should consider several points when determining whether to designate a site locally or nominate it for theNational Register. 1.Designating a sitelocally wouldbe a good test of our local designation form and procedures. 2.The City and MAHS have enough historic information currently to be able to complete the application for local designationof Gladstone Savanna or Fish Creek. 3.Nominations to the National Registerrequire completion by a professional. The city would need to apply for a grant to hire a consultant to prepare the nomination. 4.Nominations to the National Register must meet very high standards ofhistoric significance. It is not clear whether thesesites would be successful in theirnomination. 5.Sites may be designated at boththe local and National level.Thus doing one now does not preclude the HPC from doing the other in the future. In 2015, the HPC approved the following proceduresfor local designation. 1.Owner submits the application form. Staff or HPC members can bring forward an application for a city property. 2.Staff and one commissioner review application for completeness. If it is complete and meets most requirements, staff brings it to HPC. 3.HPC reviews the application and approves or denies it. 4.If approved by HPC, staff schedules apublic hearing and publishes notice of the public hearing in the Lillie Review. Landowners within 500’ of the site will receive written notification of the meeting. 5.Council conducts public hearing. Page 13 F2 6.City council approves or denies designation. 7.State Historic Preservation Office reviews designation. Preparingthe Application.As mentioned, if HPC wishes to nominate a site to the National Register wewill need to hire a professional to complete the application. The application for local designation, however, can be prepared by city staff and HPC members. City staff and MAHS canprovide historic information on Gladstone Savanna or the Fish Creek Natural Area. Ideally one or two commissioners would volunteerto write the narratives required forthe local designation form. A copy of the application form is attached(Attachment 2) to help commissioners understand the scope of work involved. Recommendation Staff recommends the HPC discusses determines what site to designate. Staff further recommends the HPC determines whether to designate the site locally or to nominate it to the National Register. Staff further recommends that the HPC appoint one or two commissionersto help write the narratives needed for local designation.

(Text from www.nps.gov/nr/publications/bulletins/nrb15/nrb15_8.htm) 1.Locationis the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred. The relationship between the property and its location is often important to understanding why the property was created or why something happened. The actual location of a historic property, complemented by its setting, is particularly important in recapturing the sense of historic events and persons. Except in rare cases, the relationship between a property and its historic associations is destroyed if the property is moved. (See Criteria Consideration B in Part VII:How to Apply the Criteria Considerations, for the conditions under which a moved property can be eligible.) 2.Designis the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property. It results from conscious decisions made during the original conception and planning of a property (or its significant alteration) and applies to activities as diverse as community planning, engineering, architecture, and landscape architecture. Design includes such elements as organization of space, proportion, scale, technology, ornamentation, and materials. A property's design reflects historic functions and technologies as well as aesthetics. It includes such considerations as the structural system; massing; arrangement of spaces; pattern of fenestration; textures and colors of surface materials; type, amount, and style of ornamental detailing; and arrangement and type of plantings in a designed landscape. Design can also apply to districts, whether they are important primarily for historic association, architectural value, information potential, or a combination thereof. For districts significant primarily for historic association or architectural value, design concerns more than just the individual buildings or structures located within the boundaries. It also applies to the way in which buildings, sites, or structures are related: for example, spatial relationships between major features; visual rhythms in a streetscape or landscape plantings; the layout and materials of walkways and roads; and the relationship of other features, such as statues, water fountains, and archeological sites. s the physical environment of a historic property.Whereas location refers to the specific 3.Settingi place where a property was built or an event occurred, setting refers to the character of the place in which the property played its historical role. It involves how, not just where, the property is situated and its relationship to surrounding features and open space. Setting often reflects the basic physical conditions under which a property was built and the functions it was intended to serve. In addition, the way in which a property is positioned in its environment can reflect the designer's concept of nature and aesthetic preferences. The physical features that constitute the setting of a historic property can be either natural or manmade, including such elements as: Topographic features (a gorge or the crest of a hill); Vegetation; Simple manmade features (paths or fences); and Relationships between buildings and other features or open space. These features and their relationships should be examined not only within the exact boundaries of the property, but also between the property and its surroundings. This is particularly important for districts. Page 20 F2, Attachment #2 ialsare the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period 4.Mater of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property.The choice and combination of materials reveal the preferences of those who created the property and indicate the availability of particular types of materials and technologies. Indigenous materials are often the focus of regional building traditions and thereby help define an area's sense of time and place. perty must retain the key exterior materials dating from the period of its historic significance. If A pro the property has been rehabilitated, the historic materials and significant features must have been preserved. The property must also be an actual historic resource, not a recreation; a recent structure fabricated to look historic is not eligible. Likewise, a property whose historic features and materials have been lost and then reconstructed is usually not eligible. (See Criteria Consideration E in Part VII : How to Apply the Criteria Considerations for the conditions under which a reconstructed property can be eligible.) nshipis the physical evidence of the crafts ofa particular culture or people during any 5.Workma given period in history or prehistory. It is the evidence of artisans' labor and skill in constructing or altering a building, structure, object, or site. Workmanship can apply to the property as a whole or to its individual components. It can be expressed in vernacular methods of construction and plain finishes or in highly sophisticated configurations and ornamental detailing. It can be based on common traditions or innovative period techniques. Workmanship is important because it can furnish evidence of the technology of a craft, illustrate the aesthetic principles of a historic or prehistoric period, and reveal individual, local, regional, or national applications of both technological practices and aesthetic principles. Examples of workmanship in historic buildings include tooling, carving, painting, graining, turning, and joinery. Examples of workmanship in prehistoric contexts include Paleo-Indian clovis projectile points; Archaic period beveled adzes; Hopewellian birdstone pipes; copper earspools and worked bone pendants; and Iroquoian effigy pipes. 6.Feelingis a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. It results from the presence of physical features that, taken together, convey the property's historic character. For example, a rural historic district retaining original design, materials, workmanship, and setting will relate the feeling of agricultural life in the 19th century. A grouping of prehistoric petroglyphs, unmarred by graffiti and intrusions and located on its original isolated bluff, can evoke a sense of tribal spiritual life. 7.Associationis the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property.A property retains association if it is the place where the event or activity occurred and is sufficiently intact to convey that relationship to an observer. Like feeling, association requires the presence of physical features that convey a property's historic character. For example, a Revolutionary War battlefield whose natural and manmade elements have remained intact since the 18th century will retain its quality of association with the battle. Because feeling and association depend on individual perceptions, their retention aloneis never sufficient to support eligibility of a property for the National Register. Page 21 F3 MEMORANDUM TO:Heritage Preservation Commission FROM:Ginny Gaynor, Natural Resources Coordinator/HPC Liaison th DATE:Thursday, February 11, 2016 RE:2016Commission Goals INTRODUCTION Each year the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) sets goals for the coming year. DISCUSSION At the January 14, 2016 meeting, the HPC began discussing 2016 goals.The preservation planning process is often divided into four phases: 1) Research, 2) Survey, 3)Designation, and 4) Educationas shown in the attached chart (Attachment 1). The HPC completed the Historic Context Study in 2014, which gives us a good basis for the other phases. The commission should carefully consider what types of activitiesare most important to the HPC at this stage, and should prioritize goals and activities accordingly. During the HPC’s January 2016 discussion, the potential goals listed below came to the forefront. GoalPeople/Process 1.Continue 60 stories project. Committee: Gilbertson, Rudberg, Boulay 2.Plan Trivia Contest and any associated 60th anniversary Committee: Gilbertson, activities. Rudberg, Boulay 3.Make recommendation for 2016 Maplewood Heritage Award. Whole commission 4.Designate one site. 5.Review Century Homes and outline procedures for this program. 6.Identify the top 10 or 20 most important sites to protect. Determine if need to begin protection efforts on any of these in 2016 and if yes, begin those actions. 7.Write grant and RFP to conduct survey of non-residential properties. 8.Create sign for Lookout Park. Page 22 F3 Commissioners willcontinue the goals discussion at the February HPC meeting. The HPC should consider: 1.Are there any goals we should work onthat are not on the list? 2.Are you willing to work outside of commission meetings on any of these goals? Is yes, on which goals would you work? There is no requirement for commissioners to work on a goal outside the commission meetings. However, to accomplish manyof the above goals this year, we will need one or two commissionersto take a leadership role and help prepare materials outside the meetings. TheLocal Designation brochure developed in 2015 includes information on the Century Homes Program. A copy of the brochure is included in the Local Designation memo in this packet. We cannot publish the brochure until the HPC makes some decisions on the Century Homes Program. This is goal #5 above. This goal would entail: 1) determining whether this should an on-going program that people can apply for and/or whether HPCshould periodically approach those with older homes, 2) developing procedures and application form, 3) finding a way to list all homes with their ages.
