Washington Street, at which time it discussed and prioritized its activities and projects for the 2004 calendar year. The following members were present: Richard Carlson, Jim Enloe, Michael Gunn, Michael Maharry, Mark McCallum, Jim Porto, Amy Smothers, and Tim Weitzel. Helen Burford, Executive Director of Friends of Historic Preservation was also present. Each year the Commission holds a planning session to review its progress in implementing the goals and objectives of the Historic Preservation Plan, and to set objectives for the upcoming year. This report details the results of that planning session, and is intended to serve as a guide for the Commission's activities for the upcoming calendar year. Projects for 2004 The Commission plans to continue with the nomination of historic and conservation districts in the Northside neighborhood and downtown. The Commission has also identified the need to step-up their efforts in the areas of public awareness and education, and to explore establishing financial incentives for historic preservation, particularly to address financial hardship. Working with staff, the Commission plans to propose adding an economic hardship ordinance and other changes to the Unified Development Code that address historic preservation. Also identified was the desire for more collaboration with Friends of Historic Preservation. Regulations and Programs Schedule Subcommittee Historic Preservation Ordinance Staff is undertaking the rewriting of the Unified Development Code. The Staff ? Commission will continue to work with staff on the portions of the ordinance related to historic preservation and archeology. Economic Hardship and Demolition -by -Neglect The Commission will explore and consider adding an economic hardship and demolition -by -neglect ordinance to the Unified Development Code. The economic hardship ordinance would be intended to allow relief from the historic preservation regulations for owner -occupied homes where financial hardship is proven. The demolition -by -neglect ordinance is intended to prevent the purposeful and severe neglect of historic landmarks and contributing properties in historic and conservation districts. Financial Incentives The Commission will consider and explore establishing and using financial incentives for historic preservation. Potential financial incentives programs are: • Promote use of existing funding programs such as TARP and State of Iowa Historical Property Tax Exemption Program. • Establish urban revitalization area for the purpose of rehabilitating historic properties. • Partner with private organizations, such as Friends of Historic Preservation and local banks, to establish a grant program. • Establish a modest revolving loan fund for historic preservation. District and Landmark Designation Downtown Historic District (National Register and local) Date Subcommittee The Survey and Evaluation of the Central Business District was completed in 2001 and the Commission intends to proceed with the nomination of a local historic district as recommended in the evaluation. Concurrently, a self- supporting municipal improvement district (SSMID) is being formed in downtown. The Commission plans to work with the property and business owners that support the SSMID to designate a downtown historic district. The Commission decided to proceed with writing design guidelines and provide examples of fa4ade designs that would be appropriate to a historic district. The Commission may apply again for a CLG grant to prepare the NRHP nomination for this district. Northside Historic Districts (National Register and local) Date Marlys Svendsen is currently preparing the National Register of Historic Places Proceed w/ local nomination for the Jefferson Street, Gilbert -Linn Street and Ronalds Street designation in Historic Districts. These nominations should be reviewed by the State in June May or June 2004. If there is adequate public support, the Commission intends to proceed with the local designation of these districts. Goosetown Conservation District Date The Historic Preservation Commission has received a petition from residents in Neighborhood the Goosetown neighborhood requesting the designation of the neighborhood meetings and as a historic or conservation district. Architectural historian Marlys Svendsen preliminary previously determined that there is not sufficient integrity in this area for it to report in be eligible for nomination to the NRHP. The Commission plans to proceed February with neighborhood meetings to determine if there is sufficient public support to rezone this area to Conservation District Overlay Zone. Education/Public Awareness BrochurelWebsite Date The Commission has been working on preparing brochures on historic Iowa Mock-up by May City properties and neighborhoods. The Commission has determined that they do not have the resources or expertise to prepare this publication in-house with staff assistance.

Notification Letters Date The Commission plans to continue their efforts to notify contractors, property Ongoing owners, and realtors of the location of historic and conservation districts, and the applicable regulations. Historic Preservation Week Celebration Date Friends of Historic Preservation and the Historic Preservation Commission will May host their 215L Historic Preservation Recognition.
