The house has been classified noncontributing because a second floor dormer addition greatly detracts from the house and the house was covered in aluminum siding. The house is a Craftsman bungalow likely constructed circa 1920. The aluminum siding and addition were likely added to the house in the 1960s. Last spring, the siding was damaged by hail and the owner has reached a settlement with his insurance company for replacement siding. The house was originally stuccoed, but it appears that the stucco was significantly damaged when the aluminum was applied and would require removal regardless of the type of replacement siding used. The applicant is proposing to remove the existing aluminum siding and reside it with fiber cement clapboard. 4.0 IOWA CITY GUIDELINES FOR ALTERATIONS 4.3 Wood Recommended: Historic wood · Repairing historic wood elements rather than replacing them. · Using epoxy products, such as Wood Epox and Liquid Wood by Abatron, to consolidate deteriorated wood components, and fill or reconstruct missing wood. · Duplicating and replacing historic wood elements when they cannot be repaired. · Replacing damaged wood components with new or salvaged wood components that match the historic ones. · Monitoring wood surfaces for signs of excessive water damage, rot, or pest infestation. Keeping all surfaces primed, painted and appropriately caulked in order to prevent wood deterioration. · Eliminating excessive moisture problems such as leaky roofs, gutters, and downspouts. The improper venting of baths, kitchens, basements, and dryers may cause moisture problems. Wood substitutes · Substituting a material in place of wood only if the substitute material retains the appearance and function of the original wood. The substitute material must be durable, accept paint, and be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. For many applications, fiber cement board is an approved substitute for wood. Disallowed: Historic wood · Covering original wood siding, soffits and eave boards with another material such as vinyl or aluminum siding. · Removal of historic wood elements such as trim, porches, cornices, and decorative elements. Wood substitutes · Substituting a material in place of wood that does not retain the appearance, function, and paintability of the original wood. 4.5 Sidina Recommended: Historic sidinq · Repairing historic wood siding and trim. · Replacing deteriorated sections of wood siding with new or salvaged wood siding that matches the historic wood siding. · Removing synthetic siding and repairing historic wood siding and trim. Wood substitutes · Substituting a material in place of wood siding only if the substitute material retains the appearance and function of the original wood.

Il'"''1 f,r-X;!:").' . h ð/j Staff Report Historic Review for 8 Bella Vista District: Brown Street Historic District Classification: Contributing This is a brick and stucco house that has both Prairie School and Classical Revival influences. The applicant is proposing a number of changes to the house, which are outlined on the application. All changes will occur to the front elevation. These included removing brick infill and replacing with door and sidelights, removal of existing porch structure and canopy, removal of front basement windows, construction of new porch structure with brick wall surround, and new steps and decorative railing. The architect does not believe that existing canopy and stoop are original to the house. He and the owner have identified a similar house in Cedar Rapids and are basing the new canopy on the entry canopy of this house. Originally there were doors, mostly likely French doors, on the front elevation of the house, which were later removed and filled with brick. This feature will be restored. 5.0 IOWA CITY GUIDELINES FOR ADDITIONS 5.1 Expansion of Buildina Footprint Desian · Designing an addition so that it does not diminish the character of the historic structure. · Distinguishing between the historic structure and the new addition. · Matching key horizontal "lines" on the existing building, such as water table, eave height, window head height and band boards, in order to provide continuity between the addition and the historic structure. · Placing building additions at the rear of a property, if possible. Foundations · Constructing an addition foundation that appears similar to the historic foundation in color, texture, unit size, and joint profile. Doors · Installing doors in additions that match the material of historic doors, and have a similar style and appearance as the historic doors in the existing building. · Installing French doors, or doors of a similar type, in additions where a large opening is desired. · Following the guidelines for new doors in section 4.8 Doors. New porches · Constructing new porches that are consistent with the historic building or similar to porches of the same architectural style. 5.2 Decks and Ramps Decks · Locating a new deck on the back of a primary building, opposite the street-facing facade and set in from the side walls at least 8 inches. SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR'S STANDARDS 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. Staff Comments: Staff concurs that it is likely that the existing entry porch and canopy are likely not original to the house. This style of house is not common to Iowa City. Therefore, its features are not specifically addressed in the guidelines. The typical wood porch, baluster and skirting, as described in the guidelines, are not appropriate for this house nor should the proposed structure be classified as a deck. The Commission should refer to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards to determine if this proposal is appropriate. In staff's opinion, this proposal complies with the guidelines and standards. Iowa Historic Preservation Commission 2005 Work Plan The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission held its annual planning session Thursday, November 18, 2004. at 7:00 p.m. in the lobby conference room at 410 E. Washington Street, at which time it discussed and prioritized its activities and projects for the 2005 calendar year. The following members were present: Michael Maharry, Chair; Michael Gunn; Mark McCallum; Jim Ponto; Amy Smothers; and Tim Weitzel, Vice-chair. 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 2005 The Commission plans to focus on establishing financial incentives to encourage the rehabilitation of historic homes and commercial buildings, and preservation awareness and education. Having completed most of the suvey and designation recommendation from the 1992 Historic Preservation Plan, the Commission also identified the need to update the Preservation Plan to provide guidance for the next 10 years. Historic Preservation Planning Historic Preservation Plan Apply for HRDP or CLG grant to update the 1992 Historic Preservation Plan. Historic Preservation Ordinance Continue to review and comment on the rewrite of the Uniform Development Code. Financial Incentives The Commission will pursue the establishment of local financial incentives for historic preservation. Potential financial incentives programs identified are: · Establish local tax abatement program for the improvement and rehabilitation of historic properties. · Promote use of existing funding programs such as T ARP and State of Iowa Historical Property Tax Exemption Program. . · Partner with private organizations, such as Friends of Historic Preservation and local banks, to establish a grant program. · Establish a revolving loan fund for historic preservation. · Establish conservation easement program to reduce property taxes for historic buildings. The Commission will consider applying for either a CLG or HRDP grant to hire a consultant to assist with establishing incentive programs. Urban Revitalization Work with the City and downtown property owners to encourage façade improvements through the use of the Central Business District Urban Revitalization Plan. Provide specific design guidelines and assistance for façade improvements that would support the downtown character. Education/Public Awareness Neighborhood Brochures For 2005. the Commission intends to make education and public awareness one of two primary goals. As such, more focused efforts will be made to complete the design and publication of new neighborhood brochures, which has been on on-going project of the Commission. Website Create a more comprehensive and user-friendly historic preservation website. Provide information regarding historic preservation regulations, technical assistance, National Register nomination and survey documents, historic neighborhood and landmark information, and useful links and publications. Notification Letters The Commission plans to continue their efforts to notify contractors, property owners, and realtors of the location of historic and conservation districts, and the applicable regulations. District Signs Install signs demarcating existing conservation districts and new local and National Register historic districts. Historic Preservation Week Celebration Friends of Historic Preservation and the Historic Preservation Commission will host their 21 sl Historic Preservation Recognition. Local historic property owners and contractors who have completed historically sensitive painting, rehabilitating and maintenance will be recognized. The Commission and Friends are also planning to potentially expand the Historic Preservation Week festivities. District and landmark Designation Downtown Historic District The Survey and Evaluation of the Central Business District was completed in 2001 and it was determined that a portion of the downtown is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. At this time, the Commission does not intend to nominate a downtown historic district, but will work with the downtown community if they decide to pursue historic designation. Goosetown Conservation District The Historic Preservation Commission has received a petition from residents in the Goosetown neighborhood requesting the designation of the neighborhood as a historic or conservation district. Based on one neighborhood meeting, it does not appear that at this time there is sufficient support to designate a conservation district. MINUTES HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION NOVEMBER 10,2004 -7:00 P.M. EMMA HARV AT HALL - CIVIC CENTER Draft MEMBERS PRESENT: Michael Gunn, Michael Maharry, Mark McCallum, Jim Ponto, Amy Smothers, Tim Weitzel MEMBERS ABSENT: James Enloe, Jann Weismiller STAFF PRESENT: Shelley McCafferty OTHERS PRESENT: Mike Brennan, Terry Stumpf CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Maharry called the meeting to order at 7:03 p.m. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA: There was none. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION: Certificate of Appropriateness: 721 N. Van Buren Street. McCafferty said the Commission approved a previous application for stoop work and a hand railing on this property. She said the owners of this house have a three-foot high limestone retaining wall along the alley. McCafferty said the owners would like to create a parking space there by removing a portion of the existing limestone wall and constructing a six-foot retaining wall using concrete keystone blocks. She said the wall should be high enough so that the parking space would not be easily visible from the street. McCafferty said the owners want to excavate a six foot section of the basement wall and install a service door to the basement. McCafferty said the foundation wall above grade has decorative brick veneer, but below grade it is clay tile. She said the applicant is proposing to stucco the clay tile with concrete plaster. McCafferty recommended that the stucco be of a similar color as the brick. McCafferty showed examples of similar situations at houses on Washington Street, Jefferson Street, and Oakland Avenue. Stumpf said that the door will be 36 inches with glass. He said the only place to park currently is inside the garage. McCallum asked if the keystone wall requires a building permit. McCafferty stated that a retaining wall over four feet high requires a permit. Stumpf added that the door would be centered under the window. McCafferty said this property is located in the Brown Street Historic District. MOTION: Ponto moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for a project at 721 North Van Buren Street subject to having a 36 inch door with a half light, a keystone retaining wall, and back plastering painted or stained a dark color similar to the color of the foundation brick. Gunn seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0. Minutes: September 23.2004. MOTION: Weitzel moved to approve the September 23, 2004 minutes of the Historic Preservation Commission, as written. McCallum seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0. October 14. 2004. MOTION: Weitzel moved to approve the October 14, 2004 minutes of the Historic Preservation Commission, as written. McCallum seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0. DISCUSSION: Insurance Claims: McCafferty said there are two cases pending from the spring hailstorm. She stated that one owner is using the damage to her advantage, in that the insurance company has agreed to pay for fiber cement board, because the aluminum siding that was on the house will be very difficult to find and to match with the rest of the siding. McCafferty said the other case involves a house that the owner would like to make the noncontributing house look better, but it is less clear what the insurance company will pay for and how much the insurance will cover once the existing siding is removed. She said that it is her opinion that if the owner makes a good faith effort to obtain an insurance claim that provides for compliance with the preservation regulations, that the commission should allow for some flexibility if there are unanticipated expenses once the siding is removed. Smothers stated that underinsurance of a property is not the Commission's problem, and there is still the burden of proof with regard to property damage. McCafferty said that insurance generally covers replacement value. She stated that if the owner wants to restore the house but doesn't know what is under the siding, then the cost cannot be estimated, and so the owner does not know if he can afford the restoration until the siding is removed. Weitzel said that if there is damage under the siding that may have come from years ago, it would be unrelated to any storm damage, and the owner of the property would be responsible for paying for any structural damage in such a case. He said the Commission can't accommodate allowing the cheapest thing to be used if the issue is to fix structural damage that would not be covered by insurance anyway. Smothers said these issues may have to be considered on a case by case basis. Weitzel said the Commission would not want to be in the position of allowing whatever the insurance company wants to pay for. The Commission agreed this will require addition discussion once an application is received. Northside Historic Districts. Maharry said that the City Council will hold its first public hearing on the Ronalds Street extension of the Brown Street District on Tuesday and will set a public hearing for the Gilbert/Linn Street Historic District. Maharry referred to Karin Franklin's note to the City Council summarizing the history and authority of the Historic Preservation Commission. McCafferty said this came about because there have been a changes in membership on the City Council, and they requested review of the Commission's purview. 2005 Annual PlanninQ Meetina. The Commission's annual planning meeting was rescheduled to 7 p.m. on Thursday, November 18th. OTHER: McCafferty stated that Justin Pardekooper has been appointed the newest member of the Commission. McCafferty said that Pardekooper is a contractor with experience in preservation work.

RESTRICTIONS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE t<ULES Purpose of REAP/HRDP The Resource Enhancement and ProtectionlHistorical Resource Development Program (REAP/HRDP) is funded by the Resource Enhancement and Protection Act (REAP), passed by the Iowa General Assembly in 1989. Through REAP, local government units, various organizations, and private individuals can receive funding for eligible projects. All programs are directly aimed at preserving and enhancing Iowa's natural and cultural resources. Collaboration is encouraged at various levels of county and municipal government. The purpose of the REAP/Historical Resource Development Program (REAP/HRDP) is to provide reimbursable grants to preserve, conserve, interpret, and educate the public about historical resources. The emphasis ofREAP/HRDP is the resource, not the applicant. Policies and procedures focus on saving resources and utilizing the abilities of recipients, program staff, and others to preserve those resources. Deadlines and Project Dates REAP/HRDP grant applications are due January 15th of each year. When January 15th falls on a weekend or holiday, applications are due the next business day. In 2005, January 15th falls on a Saturday. The following Monday is the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday; therefore, the grant deadline is Tuesday, January 18th, 2005. If applications are sent through the U.S. mail, they must be postmarked no later than the grant deadline date. Private delivery services, such as FedEx, UPS, or Airborne Express, must clearly show a posting date no later than the grant deadline date. Metered mail is not accepted, as it is http://www .iowahistory .org/ grants/ shsi _grants/hrdp/purpose.html 12/6/2004 State Historical Society of Iowa impossible to verify the posting date. If you plan to hand-deliver your application, it must arrive in the State Historical Society's grants office by 4:30 p.m. on the day of the deadline. Applications sent by fax or email will not be considered. Applications due in January 2005 will be funded with FY06 grant monies. The amount of funds available in FY06 will not be determined until late spring, after the Legislature adjourns and the Governor signs the FY06 budget bill. Applications received in January 2005 will be reviewed during the spring. Grant awards will be made after July 1,2005. July 1,2005 is the beginning date of FY06. Projects must be completed within 30 months after the signing of a grant contract. Applicants that submit a proposal in January 2005 should plan for a project to be initiated after July 1,2005, and to be completed by approximately December 31, 2007. Restrictions & Administrative Rules The REAP/HRDP Administrative Rules stipulate: o No more than $100,000 or 20 percent of the annual HRDP allocation, whichever is more, shall be awarded in any grant cycle to grantees within a single county. o An applicant or co-applicant may not submit more than one application in any single category in any grant cycle. o An applicant may not submit the same application in more than one category. o An applicant may submit three different applications in the three different categories (documentary collections, museum, and historic preservation). Applicants may receive only two grants in two different categories per grant cycle, however. o If an applicant has been awarded grants for two consecutive years in one category, the applicant must refrain from applying in that category for one grant cycle. o No more than $100,000 or 10 percent of the annual HRDP allocation, whichever is more, shall be awarded in any single fiscal year to a single grantee. o Applicants cannot use REAP/HRDP grant funds as match for regranting. o All projects must involve Iowa's historical resources. Non- residents may apply if the project resource is located in Iowa. http://www .iowahistory .org/ grants/ shsi _grantslhrdp/purpose.html Page 2 of3 12/6/2004 State Historical Society of Iowa o Acquisition of an Iowa historical resource is an eligible activity.

Non- residents may apply if the project resource is located in Iowa. o Acquisition of an Iowa historical resource is an eligible activity. o All projects involving personal property must, upon request, document a legal relationship to the property and/or owner agreement to the project. o Be sure to read the "Restrictions and Administrative Rules" Section. Categories There are three REAPIHRDP Categories: Documentary Collections, Historic Preservation, and Museums. Applicants must choose the category that best fits their project. Each category has specific requirements. Carefully review the requirements that pertain to your project category. Documentary Collections Category: The Iowa Historical Records Advisory Board (IHRAB) serves as the REAP/HRDP Documentary Collections Review Panel. IHRAB gives highest priority to unique and significant historical resources http://www.iowahistory.org/grants/shsi_grants/hrdp/eligibility.htm 12/612004 State Historical Society of Iowa (documents and records) consisting of various formats and types which have not previously been known, preserved, interpreted, or made available to the public. The Iowa Historical Records Advisory Board generally regards REAPIHRDP projects to preserve and to provide basic access to significant endangered historical materials (e.g., to arrange and describe the materials) as higher priorities than proj ects to convert materials and existing finding aids to electronic form or projects whose main purpose is to make digitized materials available via the Internet. Digitization is a valuable access tool, but according to current archival standards, microfilming is still the best permanent preservation technique when reformatting materials. The following are examples of RESOURCE FORMATS: albums, atlases, blueprints, broadsides, diaries, drawings, electronic records, films, ledgers, letters, maps, memoirs, minutes, newspapers, newsletters, oral histories, pamphlets, post cards, plats, photographs, photographic negatives, programs, reports, videotapes, and visuals, among others. The following are examples of RESOURCE TYPES: documentary collections in libraries, museums, historical societies, colleges, churches, not-for-profit organizations; records held in county and municipal government offices; privately held collections; and records held in business, ethnic, fraternal, medical, and corporate offices. Highest priority will be given to collections that are open to the public. THE FOLLOWING EMPHASES ARE RANKED IN PRIORITY ORDER. This priority ranking is a general statement, and does not bind the review panel to awarding grants in this order. The review panel may, for example, rank a compelling grant application to interpret a resource (a Priority III item) above an uninspired application to microfilm materials (a Priority I item). PRIORITY I: Preservation/Conservation of the Resource o Educational development and training, for example: o Workshops on proper archival techniques and standards including such topics as deacidification, encapsulation, UV filtering, and storage. o Formatting alternatives such as digital, paper, http://www.iowahistory.org!grants/shsi_grantslhrdp/eligibility.htm Page 2 of6 12/612004 State Historical Society of Iowa microfilm, fiche, electronic, etc., and preparation of materials for re-formatting. o Professional consultant o Microfilming documents and records, with the proper preparation of material and adherence to professional microfilming standards o Processing collections - organizing, sorting, cataloging, arranging/describing, producing indexes, lists, inventories, and finding aids, etc. o Purchasing archival supplies such as acid-free folders, boxes, envelopes, Mylar and tape for encapsulation, UV filters, etc. PRIORITY II: Collection Development/Acquisition o Educational development and training Workshops and training in such areas as: o What to collect (collection management) o What to save (records management) o How to save (conservation and preservation techniques) o Disaster Preparedness o Professional consultants o Surveys of resources not already in repositories o Development of special collections such as: o Documentation strategies . 0 Oral and video histories o Special emphasis collections o Acquisition by purchase PRIORITY III: Interpretation of and Increased Access to the Resource o Exhibits of documents and records o Educational outreach programs o Preparation of bibliographies, books, brochures, dramatic scripts, manuscripts, etc. o Preparation of film and video documentaries o Purchase of already preserved material for increased public access o Preparation of materials and finding aids for electronic distribution PRIORITY IV: Physical Environment and Access Tools for the Resource o Equipment http://www.iowahistory.org!grants/shsi_grants/hrdp/eligibility.htm Page 3 of6 12/612004 State Historical Society of Iowa Page 4 of6 o Reader/printers, computers, etc. o Shelving, cabinets, etc. for storage of the resource Only on rare occasions has IHRAB recommended funding for equipment purchases. Standards All documentary collections projects must incorporate professional standards and best practices. For guidance on specific resource types, see www.iowahistory.org/archives/advisory_services/ihrab/ihrab.html#brochures In addition, the administrative rules that govern the REAP/HRDP program set forth specific standards for documentary collections projects [Iowa Administrative Code 223-49.3(2)(c)]. In these rules "AIIM" means "Association for Information and Image Management" and "ANSI" means "American National Standards Institute." The administrative rules state: (1) All project applications under this category shall demonstrate the commitment and ability of the applicant to provide care for their collections on a long-term basis. All project applications under this category shall demonstrate to the panel knowledge of and intention to adhere to national standards, where they apply, or otherwise follow technical guidelines generally accepted by the library, archives, and conservation communities. (2) All microfilming project applications under this category shall produce first and second generation masters on silver halide film meeting ANSI PH 1.41 (preferred) or ANSI PH 1.28. Production procedures are to be guided by ANSI/ AIIM MS 23 or other relevant standards, such as ANSI! AIIM MS 5 for microfiche. Storage for first generation camera masters must be in accordance with ANSI PH 1.43. Film enclosures must adhere to ANSI PH 1.53. The microfilming standards are very specific. If you are proposing a microfilming project, contact Delpha.Musgrave@iowa.gov. She will assist you with any technical questions you may have. Historic Preservation Category: Historic Preservation category projects are used to: http://www.iowahistory.org/grants/shsi_grantslhrdp/eligibility.htm 12/612004 State Historical Society of Iowa Page 5 of6 o Acquire, develop, or preserve real property listed on the National Register of Historic Places o Survey historic and prehistoric sites o Nominate properties to the National Register of Historic Places o Interpret historic properties and sites o Educate the public; train staff; hire consultants who are experts on historic preservation o Purchase equipment to rehabilitate historic properties If an applicant proposes work on real property, and is submitting the application in the historic preservation category, then the property must already be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. To find out more about the National Register of Historic Places, go to: www.iowahistory.org/preservation/national_register/national_register.html If a city or county government proposes work on real property that it owns, and is applying in the historic preservation category, then the government must be a Certified Local Government (CLG). Certified Local Governments have established historic preservation programs that have been certified by the National Park Service. The State of Iowa leads the nation in the number ofCLG's. To find out if your city or county is a CLG, go to www.iowahistory.org/preservation/clg_program/clg.htmI. Standards Projects in the historic preservation category must demonstrate knowledge of, intention to, and ability to, adhere to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. Copies of these standards and guidelines can be found at www.cr.nps.gov/linklaws.htm.

What is a Cultural District? A Cultural District is a well-recognized, labeled, mixed-use, compact area of a city in which a high concentration of cultural facilities serves as the anchor and is not larger than one (1) square mile in area. Cultural Districts can be found in small rural communities or in large urban areas with the potential for more than one cultural and enterta.ù:unent district. They are established to encourage city and county governments to partner with a local community nonprofit or for profit organization, businesses, and individuals to enhance the quality of life for citizens of this state. Cultural Districts also emich local economies through developing and sustaining cultural facilities in a synergetic fashion. Múre than 90 cities in the United States have planned or implemented a Cultural District- positioning the ,arts and culture as the center of revitalization efforts. The impact of Cultural Districts is measurable. The arts and areas withhistorkStructures attract residents and tourists who also support adjacent businesses such as r~staur:mh,; lodging, retail and entertainment. The presence of the arts and cultural opportunities enhances property values, the profitability of surrounding businesses and the tax base of the region. These districts attract a diverse and well- educated workforce-a key incentive for new and relocating businesses. And these districts contribute to the creativity and innovation of a community. . Benefits of a Cultural District The benefits offered to certified districts could iÌ1clude historic tax credits for rehabilitation of historic structures or other incentives which cre~te liv~;~ork space for cultural workers, space for cultural and entertainment enterprises and àccess #ní3,llcial assistance programs from state agencies and other funding partners. ."'.

It highlights the efforts of the President and Mrs. Bush to preserve our national heritage. It has several components, one of which is the designation of PRESERVE AMERICA Communities. PRESERVE AMERICA Community designation will be granted to communities that meet three general criteria: · The community has recently supported a historic or cultural preservation project that promotes heritage tourism or otherwise fosters economic vitality, and involves a public-private partnership between government entities and at least one civic association, nonprofit, and/or business enterprise. · The governing body of the community has adopted a resolution indicating its commitment to the preservation of its heritage assets. · The community meets at least five criteria specified in three broad categories: discovering heritage through historic places, protecting historic resources, and promoting historic assets. APPLICATION PROCESS Copies of the application form, a list of deadlines, and links to information on some previously designated communities can be found at www.PreserveAmerica.gov/communities.html. Requests for information or forms can also be made by calling the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation at (202) 606-8503, or bye-mailing PAcommunities@achp.gov. Applications are received and reviewed by ACHP staff for completeness. Complete applications are shared with the National Park Service (NPS), and sometimes other agencies, for their independent review. Communities with incomplete or unclear applications may be contacted by ACHP staff for additional information or clarification. When an application is judged complete by the ACHP and the NPS, the name of the community is added to a list pending the next announcement of designated communities. Announcement of designated PRESERVE AMERICA Communities will take place several times a year and may be made at a public event or by press release. Designated communities will be informed in advance of the pending announcement so that they can arrange for appropriate publicity and local notification. Attached to your application, please provide the name and title of the head of your local Convention & Visitors Bureau and of your State Tourism Office, as well as both mailing addresses. If your community is designated as a PRESERVE AMERICA Community, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation will formally notify them of your designation.

Items 3 & 7: The application must be signed and submitted by the chief elected governing official of the jurisdiction. In most cases, this will mean a mayor, county executive, or tribal chainnan. If someone else is designated to do this, there should be a clear authorization for this delegation included in the submission package. Item 4A: The project you select to featw'e needs to be one that has been supported by the community within the last three years. Make sure the project description includes infonnation on the public and private partners involved and their roles, and clearly documents how the specific project has promoted heritage tourism or economic vitality in the community. Any data you can share on the economic or other impacts of the project is desirable. Please note that a history of the community or a list of projects supported over the years does not meet this criterion. However, such infonnation is welcome as supplementary material. Item 4B: Resolutions of the local government should be recent and specific to the PRESERVE AMERICA initiative, or should be comprehensive and current enough (within the last five years) to show the community's present commitment to the preservation of its heritage assets and the goals of the program. Model resolution language is available at www.PreserveAmerica.gov/communities.html. Item 4C: Communities should carefully read through the additional criteria for designation and ensure that they adequately document how they meet at least five of the criteria, including at least one from each of the three categories (discovering heritage through historic places, protecting historic resources, and promoting historic assets). If there is any question about how'well the community meets one of the five selected criteria, then the community should provide infonnation on more than five. Communities should feel free to contact ACHP staff if they have a question about how they fulfill and document specific criteria. Item 4C(S): The "local governmental body, such as a board or commission, charged with leading historic preservation activities within the community" should be specifically authorized or established by the local government to carry out its duties. Non-profit or quasi-governmental organizations with ex-officio membership of a governmental representative do not meet this requirement unless they have a recognized role under governmental charter or ordinance.

Listing in the National Register provides the following benefits: · Consideration in the planning for Federal, federally licensed, and federally assisted projects. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires Federal agencies allow the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an opportunity to comment on projects affecting historic properties listed in the National Register. For further information please refer to 36 CFR 800. · Eligibility for Federal tax benefits. If a property is listed in the National Register, certain Federal tax provisions may apply. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 revises the historic preservation tax incentives authorized by Congress in the Tax Reform Act of 1976, the Revenue Act of 1978, the Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980, the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, and Tax Reform Act of 1984, and as of January 1, 1987, provides for a 20 percent investment tax credit with a full adjustment to basis for rehabilitating historic commercial, industrial,. and rental residential buildings. The former 15 percent and 20 percent investment Tax Credits (ITCs) for rehabilitations of older commercial buildings are combined into a single 10 percent ITC for commercial or industrial buildings built before 1936. The Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980 provides Federal tax .dedu<;ti()ns for charitable contributions for conservation purposes of partial interests in historically important land areas or structures. For further information please refer to 36 CFR67 and Treasury Regulation Sections 1.48-12 (ITCs) and 1.170A-14 (charitable contributions). · Consideration of historic values in the decision to issue a surface coal mining permit where coal is located, in accord with the Surface Mining and Control Act of 1977. For further information, please refer to 30 CFR 700 et seq. · Qualification for Federal and State grants for historic preservation when funds are available. · Eligibility for State Tax Credits for rehabilitation. Properties listed on the National Register, eligible for listing on the National Register or Barns constructed before 1937 are eligible to apply for a 25 percent state tax credit for rehabilitation. The cost of a 24-month qualified rehabilitation project would exceed either $25,000 or 25 percent of the fair market value for a residential property or barn less the land before rehabilitation. For commercial properties, the rehabilitation project would exceed 50 percent of the assessed value of the property less the land before rehabilitation - whichever is less. The State Historic Preservation office must approve the rehabilitation work before 600 EAST LOCUST STREET, DES MOINES, IA 50319-0290 P: (515) 281-5111 an amount of tax credits will be reserved for your project. There are limited credits available each year, so let us know if you want the application infonnation.
