Mr. Lynn advised that the tanker had been a lot longer getting repaired than anticipated. The tanker is in the shop now to be gone over mechanically, however, there are many other priority items and lack of manpower at the present time.

Elson, Mayor City of Kenai Kenai, AK 99611 Dear Mr. Mayor, 4 This is to register my disapproval of proposed Ordinance No. 276-75, placing all financial burden of sewer problems on Kenai homeowners. Equitably, only repairs required between the residence and the property boundary at city -maintained streets should be the responsibility of the property owner. Repairs involving street work require a licensed, bonded ; contractor unless performed by the city. That places undue financial burden on the property owner. As a governing body, the City Council should promote legislation in the best interests of Kenai citizens. Ordinance No. 276-75 is not in the best interest of homeowners of Kenai. I urge you and the City Council to reject the ordinande. Sincerely yours, Donald J.

Mrs. Meeks presented the Council with s petition signed by over 60 persons in the community objecting to the sale or lease of subject property to a private commercial business and asking the Council to set this property aside as a park or a green strip. Mayor Elson stated that at the last meeting of the Council, Administration had been directed to make proper determinations as to the use of the property by the lease applicant, verify zoning and uses thereof and process the application in the proper manner starting with recommendations from the Planning & Zoning Commission. Mr. Lynn advised the Council that the application for lease of this property had been sent to the Planning & Zoning Commission and it was the Commission's recommendation that the City would have to make determination and request a variance on zoning. i City Attorney, Janis Williams, reported to the Council the restrictions, etc. set forth when the property was deeded over to the City. Also, the officers of the Board of the Kenai Community Library signed over all of its interest in the property to the City on June 10th. Mrs. Meeks stated that the President of the Library Board had signed over the interest i but the Board members had not been advised of this action. Mayor Elson stated he felt this was another area which justified investigation. Councilman Thomas suggested that the Legal Department look into "quieting" the title so that ownership can be determined once and for all. Mrs. Ruby Coyle stated that the Library had been built by the community with much volunteer labor, fund raising activities, etc. and that the building on the property does have much historical value as well as a pride value for the citizens of the community. A portion of the land in question had been designated as a downtown park area in the Comprehensive Plan of the City.

Mrs. Coyle had talked with the Fire Chief and had been advised that the truck was not ready yet. Mrs. Coyle requested that Council see to it that i something is done as soon as possible. Mr. Lynn advised that the tanker had been a lot longer getting repaired than anticipated. The tanker is in the shop now to be gone over mechanically, however, there are many other priority items and lack of manpower at the present time. Councilman Steiner stated that the City was letting people outside the downtown area down and this project to complete the tanker truck should have highest priority. Councilman Ambarian stated the size of the tanker truck was not large enough and agreed with Mrs. Coyle. Councilman Thomas inquired if the truck could not be taken elsewhere for the mechanical work to be done. Mrs. Coyle stated that she had been informed by the Fire Chief that the Tanker Truck after being worked on won't be in good enough mechanical condition to respond in time to the outlying areas and Mrs. Coyle was also advised that the tanker truck was insufficient in size to hold the necessary required amount of water. f Councilman Steiner recommended that the Public Works Director bring the employee in from vacation to work on the tanker. Councilman Hudson stated that in his opinion the Council should direct Administration to make this project top priority and use their own discretion how the project was to be accomplished. Mayor Elson so directed Administration to declare the completion of the tanker truck as a top priority project to be finalized as soon as possible.

Councilman Ambarian stated that if the City should wish to lease that propery for a non- conforming use, the City should request a zoning variance. . Councilman Hudson stated he objected to the use of the building and property as requested in the lease application.

Mayor Elson asked for a definition of connections and extensions. City Attorney Jan Williams read the definition per the Code of the City of Kenai . Phillip Aber, Public Works Director, reported that this Ordinance would alleviate a situation that would be on-going and costly to the City and a City the size of Kenai cannot afford to offer this service to the public. Councilman Thomas stressed the point that an Ordinance such as the one presented may possibly create a situation wherein the property owners did repair and maintenance themselves and cause additional problems for the City. Mr. Aber suggested that another Ordinance be prepared stating that only bonded contractors, etc. could be used in the repair and maintenance work. Mayor Elson stated he felt the code should stay the same except in the event the customer abuses the situation and at that time, the consumer would be responsible for all costs incurred. MOTION: Councilman Hudson moved, seconded by Councilman Morgan, for introduction of Ordinance No. 276-75. Mayor Elson stated that the matter should be given some really serious consideration.

Lynn, City Manager DATE: September 9, 1975 SUBJECT: WATER STUB EXTENSIONS ALONG FOREST DRIVE & REDOUBT BLVD. r • As you may recall, Phil Aber mentioned the necessity of extending • twenty -tour water stubs before the paving of Forest Drive and Redoubt Boulevard by the Highway Department next spring. It is estimated that the twenty-four stubs would require a total of 1,200 feet of 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch water main with a cost of approximately $27 per foot. This would amount to $32,400 to do the required work. Because of the expense, we have decided that we will not ... . , ..end extending the stubs at this time but rather on an as needed basis. It will cost more in the long run because of the © necessity of cutting pavement each time a stub Is extended. How- ever, the additional cost will be spread over a long period of time and as the extensions are required due to development. I If the Council would prefer to see extensions made now, the money would have to be transferred from the bond funds for road develop- ment or from the local service road projects fund. j 1 0-1 RDL: sp 1 4 - j - s w -- /P, — K NAI POLICE DEPARTt" IT g3lT.gLY MpOPT AUGUST, 1975 During the month of August, 1975, Kenai Police Officers issued 58 Uniform Traffic Citations and 301 verbal warnings.

AP IJTTLITV T7►ATPP PIZ.MG The ALASKA PUBLIC UTILITIES COM14ISSION hereby gives notice that PENINSULA SANITATION CO., a garbage and refuse collection and disposal utility, has filed a tariff revision (TA2-209) consisting of proposed increases in monthly rates for residential, commercial and unscheduled pickups. As proposed, the residential and commercial rates would increase by approximately 278 and the rates for un- scheduled work would increase by approximately 588. Ex- amples of the proposed monthly rate increases are as fol- lows; the rate for residential service within two miles of the post office in Soldotna would increase from $4.75 at present to $6.00; in Kenai, within two miles of the post office, from $4.50 to $5.70; for areas outside the two-mile limit (from the post office) in Kenai the monthly rate would increase from $4.75 to $6.00; and in other rural areas the rate would increase from $5.50 to $7.00. Increases in commercial charges would vary, the 1 pickup per week charge being increased from $21.00 at present to $26.50; 2 pickups per week from $28.00 to $48.00; 3 per week from $52.00.to $66.00; and 4 per week from $66.00 to $84.00.

C. 20006 (202J 633-5200 J A GUIDE TO THE PRESERVA':ION SURVEY Introduction :'his brief guide is directed to those who are answering for themselves the question "why preserve?" and who need sone suggestions on the sheer logistics of a preservation survey, a basic step in creating a realistic corn mmity preservation program. A preservation survey identif les, documents and evaluates a community 's physical resources, not only'indivIdual buildings and groups of buildings, but entire districts and neighborhoods, landscapinu and open spaces, street pat- terns focaloints views and vistas, and anenitins such as street furniture. p , It establishes priorities for the preservation of properties deserving recogni- tion and deterciaes how valuable structures and areas can be taken into account i in the overall planning process. Such a survey is as important in comr-mitt' • planning end development as the pore connon housing, traffic, employnent and market suLveys routinely conducted by local goverammts. uhile it is desirable for the public planninZ aeency to undertake and main- tain a comprehensive preservation survey as part of its total responsibility, experience has shave that the encouraZenent and assistance of the private sector oftea can initiate such a comunity or re,,fonal effort. For example, in Charles- ton, 5.C., Annapolis, Hd., and Tiethersfield, Conn., the local survey was begun under corsunity leadership. Publicity generated by such private efforts has increased public awareness and thus resulted in the enactment of legal mechan- isms by local government to foster preservation within the com wnity. T raes of Surveys" There are several types of surveys. The broad survey of neighborhoods or areas, especially those threatened by deterioration or demolition, or of particul �+ building types, such as commercial or industrial structures, night encompass entire co=unities. Frequently, this type of survey reveals the necessity for ~� a concentrated survey of core linited scope; for example, a few blocks within a neighborhood or certain individual structures might be selected for more thorough 'P study. The Historic American Buildings Survey (11A S) represents an even more specific type which docunents selected individual buildings with photography, ' measured drawings and a detailed historical and architectural analysis. i t_J No matter which type of survey is undertaken, professional guidance will -- be helpful in training and evaluation sessions and wi11 help insure the accuracy and completeness of the data gathered. Also, the participation of professionals =! officials to recognizewill lend prestige to the survey and aid In persuading _. -- its seriousness and validity. i I I _I I - — i FF -160C III I The Survev Process -2- An outline of suggested locistics for a preservation survey is sketched below, to be modified and improved to suit individual situations. 1. uoais and objectives. The organization responsible for the survey should develop a statement of its eoals, expressing thoughts on the question "vhy preserve?" ";die state of community aesthetics and the visual elements of value to the community should be tat.en into consideration as well. An architec- tural survey might be proposed as a contribution toward meeting these goals, 4 and its objectives could include: a. definition of areas to be designated historic districts or conser- i vation areas, identification of individual buildings to be designated historic landmarks and recommendations for historic district and historic landmark ordi- nances, as well as other regulatory measures for the protection of dealntated areas and structures; b.. production of data useful to the local plannimet staff, capital improvements department, higimay department,, etc..; c. creation of the basis of community action prograns for housing and/or commercial rehabilitation and neighborhood inproveryant through private or public revolving funds, public bond issues or other techniques; d. analysis of the results of the survey to find specific design characteristics of areas or streets to provide the basis for design criteria and a design review procedure. Such criteria and procedures help insure that all property owners within a desi..Wted area Trill be; treated uniformly and fairly whey they request permits to change building exteriors or to enzage In �wv construction, and help make change harmonious. with, its surroundingsv*. e;0 stimulation of public education and increased public awareness of -the man -wade environment; f. Identification of properties to be nominated to the Vational Miter of Matoric Places. The Rational %—,aster is the nation's list of buildings, structures, districts, sites and objects significant in American architecture, archeology, history or culture. It rias expanded under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 to include properties of local and state -Ade aignificance, as well as those of national importance. Properties listed.in the national Register are afforded a degree of protection by a procedure of the federal Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, which revietrs and comments -on proposals involving federal funds or licenses that may threaten.or encroach upon Hational,Uegister properties. Listed properties may also be eligible for patching funds for preservation work. ,Weil -defined goals and objectives t -All enable surveyors to understana'their emnitment to the project, and will strengthen your position in dealings ulth public officials and in seeking funds. 2. Survey Area Definition.. The area surveyed Twill be deternined by and large by the objectives of the survey. Some groups may decide to survey all parcels shown on the local tax maps. In this case, a program should be devised In several sta^ry:, uiti inters- dendlines, berinrinp, v4_0 areae that are threatened by renewal, deterioration or environnental encroachment (by a pro- posed freetyay, for exarsple).

Survey Pones. The data collected in a survey is usually recorded on a standardized fore. The contents may, and W-ely trill need to bp, nodified as local conditions require. .A forn should be completed for each parcel in the survey area, evgn if the parcel is a vacant lot or hasiburger stand, to ninir-dze confusion ("DO anybody check out parcel number 4G')a'?").

The standard nomination form indicate the rind of data a good survey forte should contain, as the National register's publication "11 -Mi to Complete stational P.epister 'Porn" explains. Also, you should find out tshether the regional plan- ning a;envy has a standard survey fors+ which wi^,ht be appropriate for use in your project. In some cases it right be useful to include some further data in the sturvey form, such as the size of the lot; the assessed value of the property at pro -sent, five years earlier and ten years earlier (if possible); current zorip.;! status; zoniug status of adjacent property; uses of adjacent property; block mired-er and/or lot number of the .property. City or cotmty planning: or assessment neaps taay no4 er each blocs; or lot appearing on the nap.

A valuable source of information on survey nethodolou and technit;nes is Harley J. Ncree's Pecordin; t.istoric Buildinpa. This is a basic reference, and i participants in survey activities will find it indispensable. Another excellent � reference Work is the Canadian Inventory of historic tuilainrs: Trainim Stanual; j of especial interest to surveyors are its diagrams of architectural elements. 1 Finally, once the survey form has tteen devised, it will be necessary to test its efficiency. If in actual use it proves wg-,yard, too specific or not specific enough, it's better to discover this and revise the form before retch " field cork has been done. Survey nmrvanization. Phether the survey is done by a public or private entity, the follouing points are north noting. -A broad bast; of community sup- port and participation will help fulfill the community education objective anti j Increase the chances of public acceptance of proprammms tfeich W.11 Srtxr out of. the survey. Some volunteer help will provably be needed, and special interest grours such as the Junior laas ue, Jaycees and others tray be able to supply this. ! Early and constant publicity helps attract volunteers, and you trill need enough surveyors to insure that no one has an unreassonnkle trortcload. { Types of committees and assignments will vary, but tasks ni;;ht be aiiocatno. this Way: a. P rector. A director and assistant trill supervise other comittees and coordinate the overall effort. Specific responsibilities include Y.eepinl; _ the survey in line idth goals and objectives; rellefinin;•, the, survey area as necessary; schednlinr; the survev in or0er of priorities; mairstaining liaison with responsible a,,-Pncies and officials; choosing a hew squarters; ohtainim! survey iorns and soaps for the Fiapt,in,; stage; devIluil,7 and settirn up a Mir.- oyster; iiia.oyster; plottinp a tiuetal+le *r*th ir_terLt deadlines; dravin,• un a budnet and •forkiRt •41.0 the funding- co+:r+i.ttee; securinf the services of professionals, and schedulinf, their participation; ata or„anizir.:; trainin^ 3Pssions. b. CoorAination. Coordinators are neede,l to select survevors to par- ticipate in trainiup sessions, make comtittee assi,mments, irteprate new volun- teers by assifMing there to more ex--perienced surveyors, and assign for as and. deadlines to each surveyor. c. C,r. A cmowp will he needed to transfer street ad0resses and tax assessorsf nunber3 from tax naps to survey forms, attach photo-rarhs to forts, assign survey fours to surveyors according to priority areas, maintain a written record of assignments, and Igen ahead of the surveyors' pace so that more forms are always ready for the surveyor vitt: more time. d. Photo-ravttX. The subject property of each survey fort.► shottM he photopxaphed. each negative must be coded to match the correct survey fora, placed In an acid -free sleeve for protection, and filed crith the st•rvey fore or in a special file. Surveyors can be trained to do their atm pbotoptraphy, but tits quality of the photographs will be less consistent. lilac:--anti-irhite, 31 rm. contact prints are adequate. For long -tern record-keeping purposes the negatives must be of the hi,,^,I P.st. quality. e. Aral History. A (roup night N formed to meet with local people tAto can supply background information about buildings and nelphhorhoods. Shia con dttee would neat at regularly scheduled intervals edth selected men1wrs of the corsamity to discuss parts of the survey area as the survey formes for these parts are conpleted. Sessions should be tape-recorded so that written de3crip- tiono could be transcribed and noted on individual survey forms as the Inforra- tion is corroborated. Local college history or oral history pro; -rams rsiftht be of sone assistance in this aspect of the survey project. The American lessocia- tion for State and Local history has propared two helpful publications oil this topic, ":ape recording Local Vistory” and Oral 'History for the Local r+storlcal Socia The Oral 1.istory Association, Box ?.n, Dutler Library, rolunt,ia 11niver- alty, Bew York, Itev York 10f?27, is a good source of information on oral history teclusiques. Its publications include a quarterly nevaletter, proceedings of its annual colloauia, and reprints of papers and articles of interest. It has also published Bibliorraphv on Aral Mstorv,. f. Documentary P.esearch. For a general, broadbrush survey detailed scholarly research is usually unnecessary, but if some people prefer to do this, start then on clearly sigmificant areas which are 111-ely to be more intensively studied in a later survey. Such research could be the basis of possible national Rerister nominations. Special training sessions for this group are discussed in the section on trainLip, which follows. g. Quality Control. Periodic spot checks on tits quality of conpleted survey forma, including a special check on all surveyors' first stebnitted fonts, are essential. Those responsihle for this should also naintain the files. 11rii mill h. T•r:•licity. p cora:ittee shoule vorl, with the coordf-nators in attracting recruits, puulicize the survey durinn, its developr•ent and at its completion, and be responsible for anv public relations events. Min corviitteP may Irish to refer to the !%tioral Trust's "A. Gati<'.e to Prnrarin!- 'setter Press Releases" and the Pserican Association for tate and Local Mntory's "Peachin. Your Public Through the ::euspaper" and "".eacl:inZ Your Public Through Television." i. Funding. A budget for Vie entire snr•rey project must be drMm up so that funds can be found for the various er+enses that can be anticipated. Professional fees, Including the photographer's, office space, equipment ami furniture rental as crell as utilities charras :•rill prol►ably be ar-wnf the bighest costs. The cost of stationery, postale, and Printing of survey forms, naps, photographs, and public relations materials nhoulO also be accounted for. PiO.- lication of survey results would incur additional expenses. Generally, funding for most projects rust corse from sources irithin the covnmity, not from national foundations or organizations. ro:lever, private funds raised locally can possibly be used as hatch ng funds for the too major public programs that assist surve7inp. If the survey is to be part of the statewide survey and plan, funding, may be atrai:able through the ?rational Renfro - ter progran, as note' Previously. The U.S. Tenrrtriont of (sousing and Urr-ban Ueveloprusnt, under the Cor;prehensive P fanning,, Assistance program, proviaes up to tiro -thirds of the cost for surveys of architectural and historic resources and the preparation of historic preservation plana. Other activities eliSible for fuudin; under this program include the develo:pnent of criteria for the evaluation of historic and architectural resources as identified in tl•e survey, evaluation of the rpAources Uentified, and preparation of historic district legislation and other preservation controls. This Pro?rare has been restructured sovwO at by the 1974 Housing and Comumity Mvelopme"t Act, which proviries block grants to comom ities to carry out an accertal•le corcwnity developrent plar_. The Act states that historic preservation is an aprrooriate objective of such a plan. For further information contact your town or coiraty plannin, anency or your area office of the Departrent of Ilousin;! and Urian Developrie::t. The address can be obtained from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Develop- nent, Washington, D.C. 2.1410, if it is not listed in your telephone directory. slational 'thrust fact sheets titled ":ec'.uiical Assistance Funds and Services" ane' "sources of rroject Implementation runds" as cell as the Trust publication, A Guide to Federal Prawns: Prorrauss and Activities Plated to Platoric Preser- vation, indicate other possible sources of outside aid. In raising funds locally you night successfully npproach bashing institu- tions, public utilities corporations, paint companies, building supply firns and other business concerns which would benefit from public interest and invest- ment in community enhancerent. Also, special events such as festivals and house tours can be profitable. Itany varied possibilities exist for fundraising; be creative and innovative. 6. Training. Surveyors deserve the best training tbay can ger.; the a+ic- cess of the survey depends largely on thee. Training should incluse sessions on the architectural history of the survey area, photography and historical research. It should also stress the responsibilities of leadership and coor.?i- nation. Throughout the body of this fact sheet, various pertinent publications have been mentioned. It may be useful to dram, up a reacting list for persons t - - -- _- :�`:� � �- �..I. _ - _.�. - -' ■lull IIII '! �� i �'u'::r�rw�-=-- ,_.e_. , - ._�_.., .- �., . - .. �.. -7- training for various roles in the survey. All surveyors should read Marcus Uhiffen's Aver±can Architecture :ince 17^q: A CuVe to the styles, "ttov to ramlete F.ational Register Parrs," Farley J. 70'ee's Rnrtteur's Guide to Terns Commonly 11se4 in nescrlllinQ Historic Uuildinrn, and npcnrAInP Fistoric Build- iM4, also by 'MCI P_P..

The New York State 3oar4l for historic Preservation's 7istoric Pesources Survey `Manual and the Canadia» Invertory of riistoric i:uildin^.s: Trainin;' 'Manual m► contain etch helpful advice and naillustrations relevant to surveying in reueral. Sone good references on aretitectttre in your region and, if possible, your comramity should be on the readinf; list. A knowled;;e of the indigenous architecture, specifically that of the survey area, still enahle surveyors to complete survey forms adequately for professional evaluation. Troinin, sessions in local architectural history shnald be con- ducted by an architectural historian or an architect with a bach,-round in archi- tectural history. Slides of typical architecture and other visual elerzats within the survey area should he conniled "ith the advice of architects, his- torians and others faniliar with the area. It is important to include random examples of average buildinJs of uncertain style; awst huildinf;s are hybrids - rather than pure stylistic types, and may defy si:tple classification. t7alkir.F tours with the instructor are essential in fleshing out slide presentations and discussions with firsthand experience. If DLBny buildings to be. surveyed are located in deteriorating neifhborhoods, surveyors should be trained to evaluate general exterior structural conditions by the local building inspector or soneone else frith engineering or buildinV maintenance expertise. If no simle individual or group will be doinp all the photography, train- ing in photot►.raphic technique will be required. Photo,!raphy classes in local colleges and camera clubs may be able to offer assistance. A doewientary research group will need trainin;+, in historical nethodology, local historical resources, compilation of data, information retrieval and information analysis. They must i0entify primary and secondary sources, includ- ing city and county records such as census tracts, deeds and wills, tax assess- ment recores, court records,Mrater records and fire insurance maps anO records; nettspaper articles and advertisements; travel accounts; institutional histories; diaries, rmwirs and letters; photographs; special library and private collec- tions; old canal, railroad and road rasps; builders' catalogs and nanttals; archeolopi.cal reports; etc. Information should be recorded on uniform cartes; wbat to record and how to record it should he planned in advance. The publications of the American Association for State and Local history, 1315 A.ighth Avenue South, Nashville, Tema. 37203, might be useful in various training programs. A publications list is available upon request from that organization. 7, Survey Techniques. a. Dividing up the work. For city-wide or other ambitious surveys the total territory might be divided into areas of manapeable size vith one surveyor to serve as captain of each. Additional surveyors t+ould be asstpned Y.� y ii i` lh1 l �IIII li Ilf : I MOMrrW+�ii...—.r..,...,.. ,.... r e to each captain as they join tg-,e project. in consultation with the coordinators, captains assign survey formas prepared by the coding --roup to each surveyor, help set interim deadlines and see that these deadlines are ret. Each captain may also Wish to hake sure that surveyors mag+ their survey fineing;s and file their forts. Pne-traa.F ntarvannra to wore: at their vino convenience; flexibility may attract pore participants. Frequent, rezul:tr det�,:lines for scheduled tasks are easier to meet, and sr+all areas for which each surveyor can be.. responsible make the project seen less open-ended. b. Happy. The local or r¢wional planning department should be af-le to provide the series of maps needed for plotting the data and sugnest a useful scale. Again, maps should be of a size and scale cocipatitAe vrith standard city neaps so that they can be used as overlays. Since the p'.anninf agency trill pain up -to -crate land use and building condition maps Vaich also indicate architec- tural style and historical simiificance as a result of the survey, perhaps they would be trilling to absorb base nap duplicating costs. Consistency in mappiug and filing is important. Survey maps might be con- sidered rough drafts for a professional to convert later to more sophisticated maps in order to present the survey findings host advantageously. For each area currently being surveyed at least four maps and colored felt- tip pens sNould he ready for use. Paid, and every parcel should be codec! on :11 maps. On one map current land use should be indicated by the standard planting color code: yellai...... sinple-fa*illy residence br4xm....... nultinle-family resirience oraa£e......office use red.........retail use purple...... industrial use blue........ institutional, educational, religious, i cultural use i green.......open space or outdoor -recreation use i Other categories may be added to reflect prevalent local building; types such as duplexes or hig;hrise apartr>ents. A map showing; former land use may b appro- priate for a certain area, such as a neighborhood of single-family horw now divided into apartments. A second rsap should plot architectural periods. 'Else key to the mar, indica- tive of the range of local design eharacteristice, should he devised by tin archi- tectural historian and should include a brief sumary of each category m that surveyors) can hatch design elements to categories and =4:e a color code udMent for each parcel. Again, each parcel should be coded, even if the categ;oty is clearly modern, universal, standard design, as for modern gas stations and chair. stores. This swap servos to provice a general Inpression of groups of des.p.te elements. The third :gasp trill indicate historical significance based on inforvution gathered by the oral history group, historical researchers or area capte~rs. Once historical infomation includinu oral contributions has been transcribed, corroborated and noted on appropriate fords, it should be plotted. For this only tao colors may be reeled, one for parcels of sone local historical sirnifl- cance and another for those lacY.iu; suc'c sirnV7icanoe; additional colors could Indicate regional, state or national historical si3nificance. A fourth nap should shoo structural conditimi, cooed to reflect thn cate- r y e_... j'..:t. cvc J. parcel; inti-!ef- a rninr for V40--ai:t VLit3if t1tW4�i U�t bllfC uiiiVe sVL.�. v.,,, lots. If the survey is county -ride or incorporates rural territory, consider using the naps availa'sle from the U.S. Geological Survey for the entire area. Recording information on U.S. Geological Survey (11.S.G.C.) Maps according; to grid coordinates, latitude and longitude assures a nore permanently accurate record. Aerial photographs pawl aloo be very useful. c. Timetable. You should plan to conduct a pilot survey to help i establish how much can be accamplis`'ed in uhat lenrth of time and to fartil iarize participants with procedures. The extent of the pilot survey irill vary Frith the size of the total survey area. Quality controllers should review the first feet forms completed by each surveyor to help with any initial difficulties. On the basis of the pilot survey and projections of area deadlines, a master timetable should be drarm up; include interim dea0lines, perio0ic appoint- ments with people versed in local history, and evaluation sensions. Dependinr.. on the size of the survey territory, evaluation sessions Might be schechiled at w the end of the survey or at intori..t dates %lien enough forms have been cormleteo. 8. Evaluations. Evaluation of survey findings should identify major ,noun - Ings of noteworthy buildings, res:14ential neighborhoods, corarercial districts and significant isolated building moritine preservation and protection, and order priorities among the cot=uritgts preservation needs. Sore corrunities prefer those ;Yho have been actively involved with: the survey project to evaluate its findings; others, the pore objective approach of inforned outsiders. A select -roup of architectural historians, architects, planners, historical connission members, and individuals with a back round! or specialty in the field of preservation from t4ithin anti outside your cor-mmnity might be salted to participate in the evaluation process. Local government could be represented by the director of community planning, planning connissioners amt others in related offices. Involving comaunity developnent officials in this process can help pave the ivay for official accertance of the survey finein„s ant' resultt" recommendations. trhile some experienced local preservationists may be al -le to donate their services for this very Important phase, contractitte with outside experts ray be necessary. You should be prepared to offer to pay at least travel and out -of - Pod -At e:cpenses. It is essential to invite participants dell in advance; the timetable allow you to do so. For factors to be considered in evaluatinn potential landmarlts ante historic areas helpful sources are Ralph 1.1. loner's Conservation of ftstoric and Cultural R"ources; criteria used by the national Pegister of historic Places, as described in -the National Part: Service brochure "Rational Register of i'.istorle Places" and explained by your state historic preservation office; and criterir. from the MS program as described in the national Tarr Service brochure t';'is- toric American Buildiags Survey" and Recording Historic Buildinps, by Harley J. 9 ..1f)- MY".. -no. ccr, teriaau vested are. by no neans absolute; your otm evaluation criteria will reflect those cl-aracteristics crhich tial -e your cormunity distinc- tive. ,,. lu L.Je .t{,.c renultc; tSey shnt.14 recoe— LevaluaLorli Sitviicu :.trtY+: Lti >rai.cu�£ .±.r.J., «-_v ., nize that aesthetic and historic resrourcrs represent a continuun, and they should not distort their evaluation by unduly emphasizing first, last, oldest, biggest, only, most curious or other superlatives.

M Prepared by the Departrmt of Field Services February 1975 -I I i j f 11 National Trust for Historic preservation ?WDIY IMM5014 nAce, X. W. WMMOTox. A C. AISTOFZC DISH= 001'MCZS--IA1VfAZ«5 CO E'IS51011 OIM!?&'=S Basically, there are thio types of historic preservation ordinances: 'historic district" ordinances and "laadmeks conrdssion" ordinances. An historic district ordinance controls- an area in -attic': :1aay or nost of the buildin?s are :historic or architecturally si!�nificant. Matoric district coradasionc generally have control over all buildin,,s within the district, i.e., 'historic or architecturally si-,nificant buildings, as dell as non -historic or moa -architecturally siftnificant buildings. Some historic district ordinances t4ve the historic district coradssion authority to permanently bar the iznolitton or exterior alteration of historic or architecturally significant buildings within the district. A landmarks conuission ordinance, on the other hand, covers the entire city or couaty or t-Aitever area. The buildinfo a landinar::s cormassion protects are sprihuled at random throughout its jurisdiction. Generally, landmarks commission ordinances do not provide for control of areas adjacent to historic or architecturally slemificant buildings. L=dma*cs comadesions, as far as I kaou (with the exception of iglus York City under special circumstances), cannot bar demolition or alteration of historic or architecturally significant buildings; they can only irVose a stay of demolition or exterior alteration. Although landmarks commission ordinances can and do cover historic districts, landmarks com"sion ordinances as presently dragon do not provide as stroage, protection for historic districts as historic district ordinances do. M Bistoric District Commission Ordinances Although historic district ordinances vary in particulars, they all contain the following basic provisions: 1. An historic district commission is created with i jurisdiction over the district. f _ -- - �resernatran ts''�°ra�re�cs s�h1i►,uian�r►Y�o'�94.'�'"�t3 'E f t i - 1 `i __W_ -2- 2. Buildings within the historic district cannot be demolished or the exteriors altered without %'r :missirct CA, the tsiiGtolL4 abLrict commission. 3. procedures are set forth for appealing the denial of an application to demolish or alter. k. 11here an ordinance does not prohibit the demolition or alteration of the exterior of architecturally or historically significant buildings within an historic district, stays of demolition or alter- ation are provided, during which time modification of the proposed action is sought or a purchaser for the building is sought. The historic district ordinances for Alexandria, Virginia; Charleston, $out% Carolina; Mntucket, Massachusetts; and the Vieux Carte Historic District, 13ew Orleans, Louisiana, are among the strongest In the country. gistoric district commissions acting under these ordinances can prohibit the demolition or alteration of the exterior of architecturally or historically siazificant buildin;rs within an historic district. Other historic district ordinances only provide for a stay of demolition or alteration. Note that under these historic district ordinances no specific buildings are designated as architecturally or historically sigAificant. All the buildings within tate historic district are subject to the control of the historic district commission. This blanket control allous the ss comliion to control the erection of new buildings whose architectural style, mass or materials would be incompatible with the character of the district. Likewise, control is exercised over alterations to buildings that are not architecturally or historically significant but which alterations, if not compatible with the character of the district, would Intrude on the character of the district. Although the Charleston ordinance is primarily aimed for the historic district, the ordinance also covers individual historic buildings located outside the historic district and within the city limits of Charleston. See Section 51-29(4). However, the protection afforded historic buildings outside the historic district is substantially less than protection inside the historic district, i.e., demolition of historic buildings within the historic district can be absolutely barred while demolition of historic buildings outside the historic district can only be delayed. Although the Alexandria historic district ordinance is strong in teras of prohibiting demolition of historic buildings, there are two provisions which are having an adverse effect an the district. No building constructed after 1846 is protected. There are buildinss constructed after that date which merit protection. Secondly, the -3 - ordinance requires that new buildin-s, residential and coarirrcial, be constructed in a pre -1546 architectural style. 'thus good contemporary architecture designed to harmonize- vith the c:-mracter and scale of the district is barred. 'there an ordinance does not provide for pemanently barring demolition or exterior alteration, a stronger alternative thaw just a al-ple stay is found in the Alexandria historic district ordinance. Althou h devolition and exterior alteration of historic buildings can be barred under this ordinance, the ordinance also provides that where ar. owner has been denied a permit to decrolish an historic buildinr, the owner can offer the building for sale to the public at fair mar'..et value and if no bw•yer corms forward who mill agree to preserve the building, the building xray be demolished. Under this option the building, rust be offered for sale for at least three months for a building priced less than $25,000 to as long as twelve months for a building with an offering price of $90,000 or nore. Alexan- dria Code Secs. 42-96.2 and 42-96.3. 11 Landmarks Commission Ordinances Landnarks co+ ssion ordinances differ substantially from historic district ordinances. Landmarks cocmiseions have jurisdiction over an entire city; historic district coarnissions only control the area of an historic district. however, landmarks comissious nay also be riven authority over historic districts--7here historic district coar.dssions do not exist. U- storic district ordinances establish historic districts. On the other hand, ordinances creatim landmarks commissions do not designate buildings as land- marks or areas as districts. 'father the landmarks cormmiss;ion is directed to conduct an architectural survey and to nominate to the city council the buildings or areas the corniasion finds worthy of designation. The rmt marked and important difference beoreen landmaeks commissions and historic district comrmissions is the posers of the commissions. Cenerally landmarks commissions do not have the breadth of powers of historic district cormissions --although there are a few exceptions, such as Maw York City. Ptequently landmarks commissions are only advisory while historic district comdesions can exercise actual power. Specifically --many or cost landmarks comrissions do not have the power to deny ,m application to demolish or alter the exterior of historic buildinps; they can only recommend to the city council that an application be denied. Historic district comissions on the other hand usually can deny an application--althouf,h frequently this is only for a set period of time. Landmarks ordinances and historic district ordinances may also differ as to the lenal protections for historic districts established under each type of prdinance. Cenerally under landmarks ordinances, ruildinps in an historic distr et which are not desiowted as historic or architecturally simificant are not subject to any control by the len0marks commission. This differs from the treatment provided under historic districts t7here all buildings within the district are subject to the control of the historic district eomission. Thus, new construction or exterior alteration to non-desi-rated buildings which would be incompatible with the historic district's character is not controlled. Section 1.4002(1) of ene Clevel.=d ordi.unce defin_c ''Landmark District"` so ouce--pwrLn.- :ere,-?djecssur to an wir:,W-7 &--: .stet VIA,& vay hoe rEsgulated for the ben2f-'t of t:* hLitorlc 41:4sict. The ordinance establishing the Yaw York City Lan&atka Preservation Commission has the unique provision that a building desi j;satad a landmark or an area desimnated an historic district cannot be demolished oe altarut If the builJiag and site are capable of earning a reasonable return, defined (Section 207•-1.0(q))as a net return of six percent of the assessed valuation of the building, and its site. In conjuiction with this, the Landwtks Commission with the approval of the Board of Estimate ray grant a partial or cocplete tar essewtion or the remission of tar. to bring thne net return up to six pares nt. A ,opod account of the Fru York City Laad- ma*s Preservation CormiLssion is contained in the p4mPhlot, Laadmnei Prese:vaticu by J&.n S. Pyle, Jr. These ordinances mould only be taken as exx*Aes of what other cities !nave done, given their particular state lays and, Rost importantly, the attitude of local puwlic officials tos:ards historic sreserration. If preservation is viewed as a way of 'rotectin- the character of a neighbor u hood and enhaucing desirable qualities of a coxrianity'sli{a., then L 0 pavers of an historic district co=dssiun or landrsari:3 co=lsaion will be drawn broadly and atrongiy, e.C., the cc=As.sion can pruhibit to demalition of landmarks. If, on " ower hand, histohic preservation is vies+med es a threat to the unrerulated dovel.opmnt of p:i frM. property, then Isiatorie preservation ordinances till not ba very atroaf, e.,. Via coardsaica c.zn only stay the iamolition of biatcric Wildiags for snort lengths of time or not at ail. III Constitutionality and Legality of historic Preservation Controls Tiere is considecable belief that historic preservation ordinances are nncoastitutional. The rewoaia,c is that since historic preaervatiou y ordinances restrict omens of :tistoric bui'_diapA from dainsn with then as v.3y please there is a takin- of private proptrty •:!V:.cut cm flenie»tian. T! thane is a "tahin ' of ?rivets proterty As a result of an historic } preservation ordinance t:ia V.3. Constitution requires that just corpen- � sation be paid. however, it is also equally !Dell established in coastita tional law that private property may be "regulated" to promote the public welfare. The test of the constitutionality of a control is tftther the control is reasonably related to the promotion of a lesitimats publ±c purpose. In V.S. v. C4ttvsburq Electric M. Co., 160 Ila 663 (1800), t!na _ ) - United States Supreme Court held that historic preservation was a public purpose. To the same effect see Placconio V. ;layor and Citv Council of = -= Baltimore, 71 Aid 12 (1)50). In Trtstess of Sailors Suu,:sRarbor v. Platt, 288 715 2d 314 (1968), the IL Yor"r. Suprem Court, t�±+ellate Divi.•.ion, i held Chats i He deem certain of the basic questions raised to be no longer arguable. in this category is the richt, u thins preper ii:wtations, of Use stafe to place restrictions on the use to be shade by an osmor of his own property for the cultural and azathetic benefit of the cossstmity. The leading case on the constitutionality of historic preservation controls is Maher v. City of Yfecl Orleans, 371 F. Supp. 653 (1974). The United states District Court upheld the constitutionality of a denial by the Vieux,. Carre historic District Commission of an application to damolissh an historic building In the historic district --the faved French Quarter. tfaher applied for a permit to demolish a one story historic building, wed as a residence and to construct Us In its place a seven unit apartmento her argued that not permitting him to erect the apartment in place of the residence was a tAing of his property because he was being forced to forego the pxeater income that would be yener acted by an apartment building. 1.1te court responded Chats A zoning ordinance, as an exercise of the police power, 'hill almost always reduce- the value of ri,;jsts of sono individuala,'but that doeb, not snake it unconstitutional. reef v. City of S»rinofieid, 300 111. 275, 232, 43 1U. 24 947, 951 (1942). such a law becomes confiscatory and thus unconstitutional only schen it 'pose so far as to preclude the use of the property for any purpose for which it is reasonably adapted.' Sunwrs V. City of Dian Cove, 17 MY. 2d 307, 217 S.E. 2d 563 Ct. App. (1966) . Reber also argued that his building was not of outstanding historic or architectural significance. The; court raids The protection of the 'quaint and distinctive character of the Vieux Carre' depends on more than the preservation of those buildings agreed to have great individual autistic or historic worth. Just as ismportant`is the preservation and protection of the setting or seem in which those comparatively fern gams are situated. Other cases wader the Vieux Carre Historic District have involved the restriction of ire size of signs within the district. The ordinance was attacked as a taking, without duo process of Iasi. The ordinance was uphold on the ground that the historic buildings creates a tout ensemble which has '!coal ccial value . . . because it attracts tourists and conventions to the city", City of Uaw Orleans v. Peressment, 198 La 352, 5'So2d 129, 131 (1941). See also City of itew Orleans v. 1 astato, 198 La 206, 3 Sold 559 (1941); and City of Rev Orleans v. Levy, 123 La 14, 64 A.2d 798 (1953), 253 La 844, 98 Sold 210 (1957). in Bohannon v. City of loan Marv, 30 Cah. 3d 416, 106 Cal. Rptr. 333 (1973). The court upheld the decision of the San Dieno architectural control board denying an application to erect an outdoor adver- tising sign in the Old Town Historic District, which the board found did not conform to the character of the district. In Opinion of the Justices to the Senate, 128 ME'2d 557, 128 M, 2d 563 (1955) the 11409achusetts Supreme Court in comenting upon the conatitu- tionality of bills pending before the legislature to establish the :Nantucket i i 1 7 Historic District and the Deacon !ill historic Mctrict hold that the bills were for the 'prorotion of the public welfara and that the restrictions on demolition and exterior alteratims of buil4laos af.tlsln the districts were not takings of property without due process. Tho. court noted that the precil tion of the characterof the historle dUtricts w;il babe a beoef..tefAl impact on the economies of the co= -,unities. In ?.come v. Citv of Revinefield •.:: 111. app. 2d 43a, 250 .!"2d 292 (1969) the court held that the Sarin -field 'tiatoric district ordirarce that controlled the height, denolition and ext-riar alteretioa of touilj:nfs ti the district was not an unconstitutional taMnn of property without due process of law. On the general question of whether property controls constitute a regulation not requiring compensation or a tskin- requiriar that comwasstion be paid the owner see The Takinip issue. it traces the meaning and history of the regulation of private property versus the taking of property. The recent tread of cases indicates that many courts are holil stron*, control of the development of property to be re?ulations not requiring, compensation rather tban takings requirin;, compensation. State enablina act versus o=erxI zoning vower. About half of the states have enacted statutes authorizing local-overnr+eatal bodies to enact historic preservation ordinances. Cities in a majority of the half of the states not having enabling acts have enacted historic district ordinances under the general zoniag power. Such states are California, Colorado, Ohio ! and New Jersey. There is only one reported case deslins with the leoality of historic preservation controls enacted under a nunicioality's general losing power. in Citv of Santa re v. Garh2e4hooro T.nc,. 73 M! 410, 200 72d j 13 (1964) the flew HavAco supreme court held that an ordinance of Santa pe establishing the Santa Pe historic District, which was not enacted under an historic district enabling act, was legal because the city zoning Dauer regulated the erection, construction, alteration or repair of buildines. in City of Dallas v. Crownrich the Court of Civil Appeals of Texas on February 21, 1974 (opinion not yet reported) upheld the suspension of Issuance of building -permits along Swiss Avenue pending, the completion of an t architectural survey and the Imminent establishment of. the Swiss Avenue Ristorie District. Even though the moral rule is that a1 building permit must be issued if all requirements are net, the court held that "a city under the authority of its police power can naintain the status quo of an area when there is a zoning plan under consideration or pending at the tice a 4 party applies for a building permit.' See 2 Aathkopf, The Law of Zenin4, 3d ed., Ch. 57, Sec. 14, administrative delay in processing application to prevent acquisition of vested rights. In City of Annapolis v. Anne Arundel Countv 316 A2d 807 (1974) the Court of Appeals of Haryland distinguished historic preservation zoning from traditional "use" Zoning. The court held that an historic building owned by a county in the city's historic district was subject to the city's historic -- - district ordinance.

It has become increasingly apparent that these -resources could be protected mare effectively through the development of comprehensive historic preservation plans at the local, county and state levels. It is the intent of this short paper to give the reader a better understandin.'of what a historic preserva- tion plan is, and what are its uses. Information is also provided on the hiring; of a consultant, -funds available for survey and planning work, a bib- liography of historic preservation plans, educational opportunities and further information in the field. A historic preservation plan generally identifies structures and areas of architectural and historical significance worthy of preservation, outlines policies and goals for achieving their preservation and reco2mnends methods for accomplishing; these objectives. The plan provides's means for integrat- ing the preservation of historic resources with'the processes of growth and change by indicating hou and where now development can tai:e place so it is compatible with the historic character of the area. Although there is a wide variation in the content of these plans, corwon elements can be noted. For example, many plans include a history of the-grouth and development of the area under study as well as an analysis of architectural styles repre- sented. Generally, a description of the area is given including population, land use and building condition characteristics. A key element in the plan is the survey of all structures of architectural and historical significance. In more recent plans, the survey also includes those elements that enhance the surrounding eavironment, for elle, landscape features and man -nate objects of interest such as lighting, fixtures, fire hydrants and other street furniture. Euildings'are selected for inclusion in the survey based on neet- ing pre-establis�jiad criteria such as that used by the Hational Register of Historic Placeu. The buildings in the survey are then evaluated taking; Into account some or all of the following factors: (1) the architectural and historical strAlficanee of the building, (2) the extent to which the build- ing's land ww is compatible with other structures in the area, (3) the-In- portance of the structure to its neighborhood, (k) -building condition, and (S) presence of envi.ronnsntal qualities. lThe,National Register of Historic Places is a list maintained by the ?7ational Park Service, U.S.'Department of the Interior, of buildings, sites, objects and districts Inportatits in American history, architecture, archeol- ogy and culture. � r( 11 111 MM I II I I�i .,i � i I � � . n I�liii?�� �. . ,�, . . .. . _, _ _ _ _-�.�`'>=.•.rs•^'• _ ___ — _ —2— The buildings are then grouped according to their level of importance and priority of historic preservation treatment. For exaaple, the highest Z"tvp would contain structures of outstanding, architectural and historical significance to be preserved at all coat. Buildups included in the lotlest catenary would not merit preservation and could be replaced by new construc- tion compatible with the area's historic character. This information is then recorded on a nap which indicates the location anti concentration of significant structures as well as rates vhero future development may take place without destroying the historic integrity of the area. The historic preservation plan also contains recommendations for the future preservation of the.historic and2c4ltural renources.based on infor- nation derived from.the;;suryey as well as other sources. Such recommenda- tions rd;Ont include the _foli"r,:- (i)'q statement of historic preservation philosophy and goals, (2) the establishment of lc, -,al controls in the form of 8 historic district and . landrrari: ord1naucc, ,easement prograsr and si;,►tt ordi- nance, (3) proposals for.; revisioa of the. existlar, master plan, zonins; ordi- gance, -4ulldinR and housing codas, .and -(4) planning recommendations such as inprovenents.# ,parking and.traffic circulation systems and land..use patterns.

There are several sources of funding available for survey and plannin, programs which would enable your or-anizaticm to have these services per-- forcaell by professional experts. Vie i:ational Register program, sponsored by the t1atieaal Part: Service, provides matching grants-in-aid for historic preservation plans and surveys in participating states. To be eligible, your state must adopt a statewide preservation plan approved by the national Part: Service. A fact sheet on the Hational Register is available upon p re- quest from the Trust's Department of Field Services. For further inforna- � tion, you should contact the State Historic Preservation Officer (chose + name appears on page 6) responsible for administering; the program in your state. The Department of blousing and Urban Developrtent, under the Com- prehensive Planning Assistance program, also provides up to Ito -thirds of - - the cost for surveys of architectural and historic resources and the prepara- tion of historic preservation pians. Other activities eligible for funding under this program include: (1) establishment of criteria for the evalua- tion of historic and architectural resources as identified in the survey, (2) evaluation of the resources identified, and (3) preparation of historic district legislation and other preservation controls. For further infoma- tion on this program, you should contact your town or county planning agency. The fhational. Trust also operates a Consultant Service Grant progran which i provides matching grants to hire professional consultants to advise on preservation. An application for this grant pro.aram can be obtained by writing to the Departr•►ent of Field Services. To develop a historic preservation plan for your com-mity, we suggest that you ermine a broad range of plans and select elements that are relevant to the planning needs of your clo=xAty. A short bibliography of preserva- tion plans you may wish to refer to is attached. Some of these are available from the Trust bookstore. If you are interested in learning wre about the field, one-weel;'courses In historic preservation planning are offered by both Cornell University and the University of hlorth Carolina in the sumer. The Preservation Institute: Nantucket offers summier proprans at the pre -professional and professional levels in historic preservation. Information about these programs as well as rdaeographed information on schools offering career training in historic Preservation can be obtained from the Truat's Department of Education. In addition, the tuo national organizations of planners, the American Institute of Plano rs (AIP) and the American Society of Planning; Officials (ASPO), occasionally offer historic preservation sessions at their annual meetings and publish relevant materials.

Box 1115 Kenai, Alaska 99611 Dear Mrs. Fillip: Robertson Collins and 1 very much enjoyed the opportunity to visit Kenai in early August and to see those areas of the community where older and historic buildings survive. He would both encourage the city govern- ment and private groups and individuals to pursue a course of preservation programing and development in the older part of the community. I think we both felt Kenai had a fine collection of older buildings, although in aany cases covered over or altered by later "improvements." So far, recent development appears to have avoided the older part of the city, in general, and so much does survive. Now would be the time to begin serious planning for its future care. Today, historic preservation is viewed as a comiwnity development process. Increasingly, it is less a role of preserving a few structures to be converted to museum uses and it becomes a part of the whole planning process. As such, we would suggest that development of preservation programming would be a proper function of the Kenai Planning Commission, In concert with the Bicentennial Committee, the historical society and others. Preservation should be viewed as urban conservation --the protec- tion and enhancement of the best of your man-made environment which distinguishes Kenai from other. communities. Preservation of older buildings and the general physical character of the older part of town should be viewed as a process of rehabilitation and maintenance for continuing or adaptive uses, as residences, offices and businesses. Only In rare instances should it be viewed as a house museum process. We think an important initial step should be to undertake a detailed survey of Kenai to determine as precisely as possible what your stock of older buildings is. I am enclosing a brief fact sheet we have developed on volunteer preservation surveys. Once buildings have been identified and researched, and they have been located on maps, one can begin to visualize where collections of older buildings exist, where preservation priorities should be placed, and where the community may have potential historic districts. Also, such a survey may often be a means of dis- covering important older buildings where changes have been made which obscure the original fabric. In our brief drive through Kenai, I noticed H"AMrurs 016tt: 740-740 JsAwn Plus, N.W.. Washingun, D. C. 20009 (202) )02-))04 119 W"t 0"S 1000 Sa"h Prsirit Arewb MUSH, I inab 90919 (112) 942-0170 R.. Mrs. Beverly Fiilio -2- September 3, 1975 a number of buildings which had been re -sided, had roofs or windows changed, etc., but appeared by roof shape, dimension and form to be much older structures than they looked like on the surface. Once the survey has been completed, the planning commission can begin in ernest to develop action programs to preserve and enhance Kenai's older neighborhoods. Possible sources of survey funding: National Historic Preservation Program - It could be possible, under the provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 to develop a survey of Kenai utilizing matching funds available through the National Park Service. In Alaska, this program is administered through Mr. Russ Cahill, Director, Division of Parks, 323 East Fourth Avenue, Anchorage 99501. In several instances in other states, National Register funds have been used for survey and planning work within given communities. 701 Comprehensive Planning Funds - Through the 701 Comprehensive Planning Program of the Department of Housing and Urban Development it would be possible to use planning funds for survey and inventory work on historic resources as a part of an overall comprehensive planning program. Information on the applicability of this program would be available from Alaska's state planning agency. I assume that would be either the Alaska State Housing Authority or the Alaska Department of Community Development. National Endowment for the Arts - Through the Architecture and Environmental Arts Program of the National Endowment for the Arts, planning funds may be available on a 50:50 matching basis under the national theme awards program. The theme for this year is "City Scale" and the objective is to determine what elements define the human scale of a community and to develop appropriate plans for their perpetuation and enhancement. Conceivably, survey and planning work in old Kenai, with the objective to developing active programs for the preservation of this area, might relate to the City Scale theme. The application deadline is (November 3, 1975, and further information and application forms would be available through Mr. William Lacy, AIA, Director, Architecture and Environmental Arts Program, National Endowment for the Arts, Washington, D.C. 20506. National Trust for Historic Preservation - The National Trust is able to make small grants for consultant services to its member organizations, on a competitive basis, for specific aspects of an historic preservation program. Grants have ranged from $200 -to more than $7500. Information on this program is enclosed. Alaska Department of Community Development - This state agency has, on at least one instance in the past, provided financial assistance to a com- munity to undertake historic preservation survey work. Grants, as I under- stand it of up to $5000, may be available for community planning work. In addition, this agency may be able to provide some technical planning assistance. The address is Pouch B, Juneau, Alaska 99801. I F,' i J I F,' i a I 1 Mrs. Beverly Fillio -3- September 3, 1975 The enclosed fact sheet helps to indicate the uses of a preservation survey. Once the survey is completed, it becomes a tool for preservation activity. For example, you may find that the city does indeed have several solid concentrations of historic buildings and you may determine that a local historic district or landmarks ordinance is justified. It may be that some revisions in existing zoning, designed to recognize the historic significance of these areas will be warranted. As has been the case in several communities, the survey may provide a basis for utilizing comamnity development funds for a housing rehabilitation program. We would encourage you to look at such a project not simply as a survey but as a basis for developing some urban design standards and guide- lines within old Kenai. Factors such as materials used, how buildings are sited on their lots, form and dimension, roof shapes, setbacks from the streets, etc., may be factors in determining the cohesiveness of these older neighborhoods as much as historic importance. It may also be that such common elements should be a basis for establishing certain standards for new construction in the area. Rob Collins and I both feel that old Kenai appears, superficially, to have sufficient merit to warrant a careful investigation of its stock of older buildings. We hope that such research might be the basis for active preservation planning and programming. He both enjoyed our visit. We hope that the enclosed materials will be helpful to you. And we both would like you to know that we're around to help if we can in the future. 414tegional e .

Robertson Collins, Trustee, Jacksonville, are. 97530. LOCAL ESCORT was Frances Meeks, accompanied by Mary Ford and joined in the afternoon by Mary '.fillets. Morning: Toured area around Orthodox church and shrine. Got out, examined buildings. Noon: Luncheon attended by Frisbee, Collins, Meeks, Ford, tdillets and James Hornaday, Lee Myrick, Peggy Arness, Beverly Fillio,at Harbor View. Afternoon: Crossed new bridge to view Birch Island and sanctuary area. Returned to Fort Kenay and old Russian cemetery. GENERAL IMPRESSI0N.S: Frisbee and Collins said that Kenai -has the largest Yroup of old buildings all in one area and related to the Russian influence than any city they had visited in Alaska. Many more than in Sitka, for instance, where one might expect thein. They hoped the area could be preserved. CENLRAL SUGGESTIONS: - The city government should establish a policy of preservation in order to provide an atmosphere wherein the private sector can act. Frisbee said, "the local government is the logical place to start." - Apply for 11701" funds which could provide a planner to develop guidelines for preservation. - Make a survey of all old buildings and locate them on a map. - Try to preserve buildings on their original sites. - If an old building is to be demolished ask the fire department or appropriate persons to let preservation group first take logs and other materials from condemned building in order to replace rotted parts of other buildings which are to be preserved. - Remove lichen from shrine and other buildings. Clean out cracks. Brush liberally with Penta preservative. Lichen encourages soil buildup on logs along with attendant a.;ents of decay. more - Keep the Orthodox church in good repair. Since it is on the National Register it is eligible for matching, funds. Labor and _. materials can count for local funds. voted that cross was missing. - See that highway signs direct the public to the Orthodox church as a rational Landmark. There are funds for this.

CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE RON MALSTON, CHAIRMAN ITEM 1: RdLL CALL Present: Chairman Ron Malston, Beverly Fillio, Nels Kjelstad, Betty Glick, Cliff Heus, and Harry Gaines". Absent: Roland Raymond Ex -Officio Member Present: Councilman Ed Ambarian ITEM 2: ITEM 3: PUBLIC HEARING was moved up to ITEM 2: The Public Works Director gave the report from the Administration concerning the request for Variance 3.- to allow double -wide mobile homes with a minimum width of 16 feet in Northgate Estates Subdivision - situated in the NW'A Section 31 T6N R11W, S.M. City of Kenai, Alaska. Carol and Don Bailey who are now in the process of purchasing Northgate Sub- division represented Mr. $ Mrs. Medema. They stated that they also felt as Mr. $ Mrs. Medema that there was a need in the Kenai area for lower priced homes and expressed their wish to develop this 91h acres of land for less expensive homes. The request for Variance letter was then read aloud by Chairman - Ron Malston. H.A. Poore representing Ifoodland Development spoke In opposition and felt in order to get a Variance you need to demonstrate a need and didn't feel that the need was demonstrated here. Wade Lundstrom of Woodland spoke in opposition be- cause he can't see need that would warrant a Variance I and didn't feel they would improve the area. Carol Bailey spoke in favor of by clarifying that the property would be deeded land as in any other subdivision. That it would not be a.trailer park `-( and would have public water and sewer. Don Bailey spoke in favor of stating that the homes wouldn't be cheap, around $38000.00, and are really not trailers. Beverly Fillio asked Mr. F Mrs. Bailey if someone wanted to build a frame house would they be allowed to do so, they saidyes. ' Wade Lundstrom speaking in opposition asked basically what would price be developed as they would be i developed for sale. Mr. Bailey quoted 604 a ft. up to 80¢-8S4 a foot. Would be around $45,000:00 home =- by the time it was put up. KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING, AUGUST 27, 1975 PAGE 2 ITEM 2: Public Hearing- continued Mr. Lundstrom felt it would take greater income to purchase a trailer home than a home of greater magnitude because the loan period is shorter for trailers. Carol Bailey speaking in favor of said the alter- native to this is "modulars" which run in the category of $30,000.00 and no Variance is needed for "modulars". Wade Lundstrom asked how many lots are in this proposed Subdivision. Mr. Bailey answered, roughly 208. Vivian Raymond spoke in opposition and asked what the minimum length would be, she understood there was a minimum width. She felt the developer would be as well off putting in small homes. Don Driskell spoke in opposition of indicating that a lot owner could put in a 10 ft. wide trailer with lean-to and have a 16 foot width structure on solid foundation, but still you would have lean-to and trailer and didn't think this was good idea. Arlene Arisawa asked why the intent to put trailer homes on lots that are regular building lot size if the purpose was for instant housing. Mr. Bailey said it is to allow trailer homes if they want. Wade Lundstrom asked if they would be building toundations or just slabs. Mr. & Mrs. Bailey couldn't really give an answer at this point. Ron Malston stated there are homes being built in Kenai right now that are selling for $45,000.00- $48,000.00 and personally doesn't see the justifi- cation for the Variance. Wade Lundstrom said homes can be built on"this type subdivision pretty rapidly. H.A. Poore said if need is there, homes can be built much more rapidly than they are being built. Beverly Fillio asked Mr. $ Mrs. Bailey if they had looked into the possibility of developing and building frame homes. Mr. Bailey said they hadn't had opportunity to really research since they just purchased subdivision. Ron'Malston felt that a person with a stick home would probably object to a double -wide trailer being in the neighborhood. H.A. Poore felt Woodland property would be downgraded it a development such as this was built across the street. __ - - — ___ --i"W-1 1 KENAI PLANNING $ ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING, AUGUST 27, 1975 PAGE 3 MOTION ITEM 2: Pablic Hearing- continued Ron Malston asked for closing of the Hearing if there were no more comments from the audiance.He then asked for wishes of the Commission. Councilman Ambarian commented that other Variances have been asked for in the past and were turned down. He felt Woodland residents had a good argument and he personally recommended against the issuance of the Variance. Beverly Fillio pointed out the need for some kind of place for trailers and felt it was something the Commission should take a long look at. Ron Malston spoke in favor of there being a need for the homes and the property could be developed for regular stick homes as well as double-wides. Nels Kjelstad felt that trailers should no longer be unser the zoning code set up for them. Felt Ordiance 269-7S was unconstitutional as you can build trailers on one side of town and not the other. Beverly Fillio asked Mr. Bryon Smith the difference between a Mobil Home -and Modular Home. He stated that a Mobil Home was anything moved on wheels and a Modular Home was a pre -fab home which is moved on wheelsthen put on foundation. A Modular Home is made of wood and a Mobil Home is usually made of mostly metal material. A Modular Home could increase in value if taken care•of and on a foundation. A double -wide would cost from $250000.00 - $42,000.00. Chairman Malston asked for wishes of the Commission. Councilman Ed Ambarian commented that Commission had already turned down one other party and didn't feel Bailey's request should be accepted. Beverly_Fillio moved to grant Variance as requested on Northgate Estate Subdivision, Kenai. Motion was seconded by Cliff Heus.

Mr. Bryon Smith of Penney Mobil Homes made a pre- sentation of his plan to Kenai Planning 4 Zoning Commission. What he wanted to know was if he can use a Mobil Home or put up a pre -fab for a office. He stated there would be no sewer or water hook-up, - -- _" :sem__.-�s..-x-- �'"s.:.3: --:. F.".•-�. c �t KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 27, 1975 PAGE S Item 4. New Business- continued would just have use of electricity. Phil Aber spoke in favor of Mr. Smith's proposal. Councilman Ed Ambarian spoke in opposition because of how it was stated in Ordinance. Howard Hackney stated when Ordinance was drawn up this was never discussed as to the use of trailers for office purposes. Ron Malston spoke in favor because he felt that a mobile home moved in on the lot would be better than what has been on it. Beverly Fillio asked Mr. Smith how long a period of time would he be renting and when did he anticipate moving. Mr. Smith answered lh year he would be on this lot. Mrs. Fillio felt Mr. Smith was doing every- thing in a nice orderly way but didn't feel Commission should seta precedent when Ordinance says no. Nels Kjelstad stated permission cannot be granted without a request for Variance and this calls for a Public Hearing. The Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission decided all they could do was advise him or set up a Public Hearing which was explained to him. Chairman Malston said he personally would like to see Penney Mbbil Homes ask for a Public Hearing. Phil Aber told Mr. Smith he would have to have a written re- quest from him before setting up a Public bearing date. Nels Kjelstad informed Mr. Smith that he had (3) alternatives: (1) He ask for a Variance, in this case we would have to have a Public Hearing. (2) He could build permanent structure. (3) He can apply to City for a Building Permit for a temporary structure.
