If This House Could Talk… What would it say? Every house has a history – from the humble workingman’s home to a castle on the hill, the stories of the people who lived there are the stories of the house – owners and renters, parents and kids, students, teachers, doctors and day-laborers – everyone. Sometimes the story is about HOW the house was built – from bricks made on the site, posts or beams in the basement from trees on the lot – or how it has changed over time.

The story begins when the house was built and it continues to the present day with you and your family. The Historic Preservation Commission is happy that you have decided to participate in our first round of recognizing our homes with a history. We are hoping that your neighbors will be walking in the neighborhood and learn a little more about your house. Here are the Guidelines for the signs: Decide what information you want on your sign – your history in the house, interesting things you

found in working on your house, history before you lived in the house – you have a space 8½” tall by 19” wide. (Instructions for researching your house history are available from the preservation coordinator at the phone and email below)

The sign should be readable by people who are walking on the public sidewalk, so don’t worry if people driving by will be able to read what you have written.

The story may be hand written or printed (typewriter or computer) o Handwritten information may be right on the sign with the Sharpie we have supplied – If

you use additional markers of your own, be sure they are permanent and not water soluble. o Printed sheets should probably be put inside a plastic page protector – It is bound to rain at

least once while the sign is up. And tape the open end closed. Please have the sign ready to put up in your yard by May 1st to help us celebrate Preservation

Month. Take it down on June 1st and save it for next year or call and the coordinator will pick it up! While it is entirely possible that ill-behave people will take the sign, let’s give everyone the benefit

of the doubt and put the sign where pedestrians can easily read it. You could take it in every night and put it back in the morning.

Don’t put personal information – like the names of your minor children, or your pets – on the sign. Photos are fine, but should probably be in the plastic page protectors. The sign can be attached to your porch rail or a fence, but we want pedestrians to be able to read it

without coming on your property. For more information – or if you have questions – please contact the historic preservation coordinator, Sharon Ferraro at 269-337-8804 or email at [email protected] Please fill out the attached page and leave it with the neighborhood association or city employee.

Historic Preservation Commission ITEM B


INSIDE WASHINGTON: Pork trumps preserving history By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press Posted: 03/31/2011 12:16:14 AM PDT WASHINGTON—One of the first victims of Washington's new tough-on-spending culture is a historic preservation program that saved the flag that inspired "The Star- Spangled Banner" and preserved thousands of other fragile national treasures. A pet cause of then-first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, "Save America's Treasures" began in 1998 as a way to safeguard historical documents, films and artifacts such as the Montgomery, Ala., bus in which civil rights icon Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat for a white passenger. The program died this month, the victim of raids by lawmakers who hijacked it to fund their own pet projects. Capitol Hill's powerful appropriations committees had taken over half of its budget to rejuvenate back-home movie theaters, old courthouses, schools and lighthouses in a process that rewards political muscle, not historical merit. President Barack Obama proposed terminating it last month and Congress obliged five weeks later. "While there have been many high-quality projects, at least half of ... projects are annually earmarked by Congress," the White House complained in Obama's budget proposal for next year. GOP Sens. Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts of Kansas, for instance, won $500,000 in 2009 to help restore an old theatre as a way to help revitalize downtown Pittsburg, Kan.

That same year, Michigan Democratic Sens. Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin obtained $100,000 to replace a sea wall to protect a lighthouse on Lake Michigan. And Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., obtained $171,000 to help restore a county courthouse. The preservation program was killed off when Obama signed the most recent GOP- drafted stopgap government funding bill into law, which cut $6 billion from the budget in exchange for keeping the government open through April 8. The program's demise came just six weeks after the administration had proudly announced 61 preservation grants totaling $14.3 million through a merit-based evaluation process undertaken by several agencies, including the National Park Service. Those grants included $150,000 for the John F. Kennedy Library to preserve Jacqueline Kennedy's White House scrapbooks, $75,000 to transfer the New York City Ballet's videotape archives to digital media,

$26,032 to save three fragile Confederate battle flags, and $170,000 to conserve and make digital copies of 30 African-American scrapbooks owned by Emory University in Atlanta. The grants, said first lady Michelle Obama, "will preserve the physical fabric of our history and the rich diversity of America's story, as told by its artists, scholars and other notable figures." But with newly empowered Republicans renouncing earmarks and Obama threatening to veto any bill containing them, the program became an easy target. In killing it, Republicans noted that it was started in 1998 as a two-year initiative to prepare for America's celebration of the 2000 millennium, but had continued in part because it found powerful advocates in Hillary Clinton and first lady Laura Bush. Save America's Treasures was also helped in no small measure by the desire of lawmakers in both parties to use it to earmark taxpayer money for their home districts and states. Of program grants totaling $300 million over the past decade to almost 1,300 different sites, half have been earmarks. In many cases the earmarks represented just a small contribution toward a more expensive project, leading some to wonder whether the federal largess was needed or justified. For example, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D- Conn., obtained $150,000 toward an opera house renovation in Derby that's expected to cost more than $10 million. Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y., a member of the appropriations panel that funds Save

America's Treasures, won $150,000 in 2009 to help the town of Owego renovate a building housing its police department and town court, which he said would "spare Owego taxpayers from the full cost associated with this much-needed project." Among the upgrades was helping the town comply with rules concerning access for the disabled. Hinchey was back again last year and won initial approval of $700,000 for renovations of Binghamton's Forum Theater, a fully functioning facility that advertises itself as the "area's premiere facility for performing arts events." Too bad for the Forum, however: The earmark died in December when an omnibus spending bill was shelved. Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., won $150,000 to install a sprinkler system and other safety improvements at a community center for Czech and Slovak immigrants in St. Paul. The merit-based awards announced in February were more in keeping with the program's original mission to prevent fragile buildings, films, photographs and recordings

from being lost. For instance, there's $25,735 to help a Schenectady, N.Y., museum use optical scanners to discover the contents of an 1878 recording by Thomas Edison that can't be safely played. Another $57,425 is going to preserve a collection by war photographers Robert and Cornell Capa that includes a recently discovered trove of Spanish Civil War photographs. And $700,000 will complete an 18-year project to restore the only remaining Victory Class World War II cargo ship, while $222,128 is going to restore a Jim Crow railroad car at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington. Critics of the program say that in an era of stark budget choices, even the merit-based awards are wasteful. In many instances they're going to well-established and well- funded institutions like the Kennedy Library. "That's the question. In some of these cases, are we just substituting federal money for private money?" said Steve Ellis, vice president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a Washington-based budget watchdog group. "You can't tell me the John F. Kennedy Library can't raise money." Neither the Interior Department, whose National Park Service oversaw the program, not the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which helps applicants meet the requirements for receiving grants, would comment on the program's demise. ——— Online:

S~th Thomas Clock 00 BloCH, East Michigan "venue

(her i~ more than 130 years, this clock has appeared in at least five different locations \\ithin Kalamazoo's central business district.

th Thomas began making clocks for Eli Ie ."s company about 1807, after completing his carpenter's apprenticeship. Over his

eer, his work became legendary. Thomas died in 1859, and by the time Kalamazoo's 'eth Thomas clock was manufactured, his ':005 were operating the company.

\\hen Kalamazoo's clock arrived about 1868, it was installed in the 200 block of what is now East p,,1icrugan Avenue. About 1890, retailer :am Folz bought it and moved it a short distance o the front of his store, on the southeast orner of East Michigan Avenue and Portage freet. In 1924, jeweler Miron D. Ellis bought

it and is believed to have moved it twiceonce to a site one-half block west, between what was then First National and American \ational Banks, and then again in 1934, to the front of his own store in the 200 block of West \Uchigan Avenue.

n1956. Jeweler Miron Ellis stands next to the Seth Thomas clock, outside his jewelry store in the 200 block of West Michigan Avenue.

------------~~ KHUHOO: LOST & FOUND

The timekeeper moved again to the 200 block of the South Kalamazoo Mall in 1969, about the same time it was donated to the City of Kalamazoo. It stayed until the street reconstruction began on the mall in 1998. The clock turned up a year later in the City Yards, laying on its side, exposed to the elements and partially covered \vith snow.

The City, with encouragement from its Historic Preservation Commission, promised to resurrect the Seth Thomas clock. In 2000, Kalamazoo Custom Metal Works completed its restoration and the City reinstalled the clock that September near its original home, in the 200 block of East Michigan Avenue.

April 12, 2011 meeting Page 1 of 14

Historic Preservation Commission Minutes March 8, 2011 Page 2 of 14 Mr. Jung advised that there are plans to make Public Safety Station #1 (North Burdick Street) into a parking lot. The article he read seemed to indicate that the Family Health Center either intends to construct a 3,600 square foot building in the new location, demolish the old building and use the land for parking, or they’re going to expand the existing building. Mr. Aardema confirmed that the Family Health Center intends to expand their existing building. They want to acquire the public safety station, and some parcels east of the public safety station. They also have plans to vacate the street in that area and combine the parcels to create one campus. The public safety building is from the early 1960’s; it was on the market for a couple of years. The general consensus was that the public safety building was not necessarily worth saving. Conversation followed with regard to fire stations that might be worth saving. Mr. Aardema commented that the fire station on Charlotte is most at risk. Ms. Ferraro disagreed and added that the owner recently invested $80,000 in the building. The fire station on Charlotte is in a renaissance zone; it is the headquarters for the company that owns the M-89 Cinema. Mr. Aardema advised that he spoke with someone regarding the Loaves and Fishes project and issues in the Edison Neighborhood. Several buildings are being removed along Portage Street. The Grape Vine buildings were removed and there is now an empty corner at Portage and Vine. The Loaves and Fishes buildings on Jackson and Portage are slated for removal shortly. There are plans to construct a new building in its place; the new building will be set back further from the road behind a parking lot. Also, there are plans to demolish the Kalamazoo Creamery building with NSP (Neighborhood Stabilization Program) funds. The buildings on the main street of the Edison Neighborhood are at risk. Mr. Aardema referred to the new houses proposed for the Market Place project at Washington Square. It is good to see some reinvestment in that area, but it is also disheartening that the proposed houses don’t necessarily fit the context of the neighborhood. The new houses are designed for low-income families. Ms. Ferraro advised that the houses are being built for middle income buyers but they will be priced to sell to low/moderate income buyers. Mr. Aardema stated that it will cost up to $200,000 to build each of the houses but they will be listed for $85,000. The proposal is for 24 new houses at a total cost of 4.1 million dollars to build; $600,000 for infrastructure and another $500,000 to $600,000 for the land purchase. That’s over five million dollars for 24 new houses in a neighborhood that needs funds to renovate historic homes. The new houses will have attached garages and vinyl siding. Ms. Ferraro advised that due to the constraints of the NSP funds, the funds cannot go directly to property owners. Mr. Aardema commented that the funds are being spent on houses that are owned by the city, the county or the land bank. There are a lot of older homes in that neighborhood and some of them are being demolished with NSP funds. Ms. Ferraro stated that the land bank is trying to buy clusters of houses rather than single ones. Mr. Aardema mentioned that the land bank can purchase the land from the developers after the city has invested in the infrastructure. He expressed concern that the



Historic Preservation Commission Minutes March 8, 2011 Page 3 of 14 developer did nothing with the property. Ms. Ferraro advised that the developer tried to proceed with the project, but was unable to at the time. Mr. Aardema inquired if the land bank or another entity could buy houses that are listed on the market in a similar fashion. Ms. Ferraro advised that could only occur if the houses are listed at a low enough price. There are a lot of criteria that must be met. They can buy at market value but what they generally have done is acquire properties through tax foreclosure. Mr. Aardema commented that not everything has to be owned by the Land Bank, they can also acquire properties. Ms. Ferraro responded in the affirmative but advised that the Land Bank has not chosen to do that very often; they have only acquired a few houses through tax foreclosure or donations. Mr. Aardema commented that the Land Bank can acquire land to build houses. In theory, they could acquire houses in need of renovation that are actively listed. Ms. Ferraro advised that the land bank cannot directly aid the current property owners who are having difficulties. The Market Place project wasn’t foreclosed but it meets the eligibility requirements, as does the proposed demolition of the Tuberculosis Sanitarium. It is a sound building and a great space, but there are problems with the property that most developers wouldn’t tackle, such as asbestos. Mr. Aardema stated that the asbestos abatement would need to be done even if the building is torn down. Ms. Ferraro commented that it was unfortunate that the abatement couldn’t be done, followed by marketing of the building for redevelopment. If there were no buyers for the building, then the demolition could proceed. Legally, that may not be possible. Mr. Aardema inquired if Ms. Ferraro had input when the funds are distributed. Ms. Ferraro advised that she has been involved with the process from the beginning. She mentioned that there are houses, side by side, on Egleston that are being rehabilitated. The interiors will be reconfigured, but the outside will remain pretty much the same. There is a house on Gilbert that is shingle-sided. The existing siding will be stripped off and new cedar shingle siding will be put on. They are doing the rehab the best way possible and reconfiguring the insides. Ms. Ferraro has been involved with the rehab from the beginning; the team is open to her input. Mr. Aardema inquired if Ms. Ferraro is involved in the design of the Washington Square Market Place houses. Ms. Ferraro advised that the Market Place is a new construction site; she was only involved with regard to providing advice about the old foundations on that site. The Homebuilders Association is working on this project and there are two or three builders involved with it. She confirmed that the Market Place plat is not in a flood plane. Mr. Carroll introduced Jeff Palmer to provide his presentation. Mr. Palmer stated that he works in the Kalamazoo College Communications office. He has been involved with the Angell Field rezoning issue. Jim VanSweden from Kalamazoo College attended the February HPC meeting, and a representative from the



Historic Preservation Commission Minutes March 8, 2011 Page 4 of 14 West Main Hill Neighborhood, Jim Hopfensperger was also present at that meeting. Mr. Palmer advised that he heard that other neighborhood groups have been approached about this issue. Mr. Palmer contacted Mr. Carroll who advised that this issue would probably be discussed again at the March HPC meeting. Mr. Palmer provided handouts, which included information from the West Main Hill Neighborhood; they voted in support of the college’s request for a variance. Mr. Palmer advised that there is a Memorandum of Agreement to be signed tomorrow morning by Kalamazoo College President, Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran and Bob Stauffer, Vice President of the West Main Hill Neighborhood Association. Mr. Stauffer is a retired Kalamazoo College Professor who is representing the West Main Hill Neighborhood. Mr. Stauffer worked with the neighbors and with the college on this memorandum. Mr. Palmer read the memorandum into the record, which states as follows: “Pursuant to a meeting on March 2, 2011 of Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran, President of Kalamazoo College and representatives of the West Main Hill Neighborhood Association Board of Directors and other representatives of the West Main Hill Neighborhood, Kalamazoo College commits to an agreement with the West Main Hill Neighborhood Association on the following matters pertaining to the renovation of Angell Field: #1. The college will apply for stadium lighting for the socker and football field only through the Institutional Campus (IC) rezoning process. #2. Prior to submitting an IC application, the college will provide an opportunity for neighborhood residents to view, within a 75-mile radius of Kalamazoo, comparable stadium lighting adjacent to a residential neighborhood. #3. Prior to submitting an IC application, the college will underwrite an impact study, by qualified experts of stadium lighting, on adjacent residential properties with the West Main Hill Neighborhood included in the selection process of the qualified experts. #4. In that part of the preparation for submitting an IC application that involves the development of the campus master plan, the college will include in the Campus Master Plan Development Committee, a resident of the neighborhood who is not an employee of the college. #5. The college and the neighbors support, as part of the IC process, a conversation on usage (number of nights stadium lights would be used, how late into the night they would be used) that makes every effort to develop guidelines that meet the needs of the college and address the concerns of the neighbors. #6. In the event the stadium lighting for the soccer and football fields is approved in the IC process, and installed, the college will not permit night time use and/or rental of Angell Field by non-Kalamazoo College parties. #7. In the event the stadium lighting for the soccer and football fields is approved in the IC process, the college will defer installation or use of such lighting on the football field for at least two years subsequent to such approval. Mr. Palmer advised that the last point refers to phasing in the use of the lights on the soccer field and the football field. The soccer field is farthest away from the neighbors. The soccer field lights would be turned on first, and the impact on the neighbors would be assessed for two years before lights for the football stadium are turned on.



Historic Preservation Commission Minutes March 8, 2011 Page 5 of 14 Mr. Palmer stated that he could not provide the HPC with a copy of the letter since it has not been signed yet. Kalamazoo College has reached out to the neighbors and the neighbors have responded. The representatives of the college will be at the ZBA meeting Thursday night, March 10th to present their request for a variance. It is legal and proper for the college to seek a variance through the ZBA at present, but it is counter to the IC process. Mr. Palmer advised that he understood the HPC is precluded from taking a stand in this matter. He stated that he hasn’t read the letter from the HPC, but expressed concern that some might misconstrue it as taking sides. Mr. Carroll read the letter into the record as follows (the letter is directed to Jim VanSweden at Kalamazoo College): “At the February 8th Historic Preservation Commission meeting, Jim Hopfensperger made a presentation to this commission representing the West Main Hill Neighborhood Association as a member of an ad hoc committee appointed by the Board of Directors in May of 2010 to review the proposed redevelopment plans for Angell Field. After a long presentation and discussion, the following motion was made and passed: “Mr. Brose, supported by Mr. Carroll, moved to draft a letter encouraging Kalamazoo College to produce a campus plan as an institutional campus, to follow the Master Plan, and rezone according to the ordinance, rather than pursuing zoning variances. The motion carried four votes in favor, one vote against, and one abstention. The Kalamazoo Historic Preservation Commission would like to encourage Kalamazoo College in moving forward by taking appropriate steps and implementing a new Master Plan and official rezoning as an Institutional Campus.” Ms. Ferraro confirmed that the HPC cannot take sides in this matter; this is a process issue. The HPC would like to have their feelings known, but they can’t take sides. Mr. Palmer advised that Kalamazoo College has taken the first steps in the IC Master Plan process. The college has appointed a committee of people from the college, and they are getting ready to reach out to the neighborhood. Discussions have been ongoing with the city; the college has never gone through this process before. Representatives from the college have spoken with engineers about the plan, but the college needs an RFP (Request for Proposals). Mr. Palmer stated that the Hicks Student Center was built in 2007. At that time, the college went to the ZBA for a variance and a pledge was made by the college to proceed with the institutional campus (IC) process. The economy has been an issue. The college received an estimate that there would be a cost of approximately $400,000 to complete the IC process. After the field project, there is another project that needs to be done regarding the Stryker Center. If the IC process had been completed in 2005/2006, the college would probably have had to ask for a variance from the master plan process, due to a recent unexpected donation of $5,000,000 to Kalamazoo College. The donation is for the construction of a new building, which was not anticipated in 2005/2006. Mr. Palmer advised that if the ZBA does not approve the variance request for the athletic field, that doesn’t bode well for the variance for the Stryker Center. The college is close



Historic Preservation Commission Minutes March 8, 2011 Page 6 of 14 to having a deal to move the house that is currently being used as the Stryker Center. There is concern that if the house is moved and then a variance is requested for a new building on that site, the college will be penalized for moving the house off site. Conversations regarding this matter are ongoing with the City of Kalamazoo. Mr. Aardema inquired if the HPC could help with that issue. Ms. Ferraro stated that this issue has been discussed among members of her department. The department is amendable to it, but it may be an impediment in the zoning process. Legally, there may be impediments to moving the house, but emotionally the move would be good. She suggested including the house move as part of the variance request. Mr. Carroll commented that people have been watching what Kalamazoo College has done in the past. This would be a change from past behavior. The college is now reaching out to do what they can to help with this important structure. Kalamazoo College would earn good will by saving the house. It isn’t what Kalamazoo College says, it’s what they do that people respond to. Ms. Milne commented that the Letter of Agreement from Kalamazoo College is a huge step. Ms. Milne expressed concerns at the last meeting that the college makes promises but does not follow through. The Letter of Agreement provides a written assurance that Angell Field will not be rented out. Ms. Ferraro stated that it is a positive step to have someone from the neighborhood, who is not part of Kalamazoo College, as part of the IC team. Mr. Carroll commented that Kalamazoo College and the neighborhood need to be successful; they need to grow and be prosperous. The Hoben House (Stryker Center) could provide an opportunity for good public relations for the college. Ms. Ferraro advised that there are many details to be worked out before the house can be moved. She expressed an interest in taking pictures when/if the move takes place. VI. FINANCIAL REPORT a. City (Jacobs) (Item A)

Ms. Ferraro advised that Ms. Jacobs provided the report showing the funds still remaining. A handout was provided showing the information in the report.

Mr. Carroll inquired about the MHPN conference. Ms. Ferraro advised that there are funds available to send people to the conference, which will be held in Saugatuck during the third week in May. Mr. Carroll stated that he would like to attend the conference; he would like reimbursement for the scholarship. He would attend as a participant not a vendor this time. Mr. Holewinski also expressed interest in attending the conference. Ms. Ferraro requested that anyone interested in attending the MHPN conference send and e-mail to her.



Historic Preservation Commission Minutes March 8, 2011 Page 7 of 14

Ms. Ferraro advised that she didn’t include the whole financial report. The general consensus was that the abbreviated report assembled by Katie Jacobs was preferred.

b. O’Connor Fund (Quarterly report) (no report) No report c. Kalamazoo: Lost and Found book project (O’Connor) (no report) No report VII. ACTION AND DISCUSSION ITEMS a. Work Plan Reports from Team Leaders i. Designation (D) – Jacobs

Mr. Carroll requested that Ms. Jacob’s name be removed from designation.

ii. Preservation Month (PM) – Holewinski 1. (If This House Could Talk, May 9 HOUSE HISTORIES at the Library)

Ms. Ferraro advised that the new historic district newsletter is out and copies are available. There has been positive feedback regarding the proposed program, “If This House Could Talk.” Ms. Ferraro offered to print out histories for some of the houses.

Mr. Carroll inquired if the program would focus on a concentrated area each week. Mr. Holewinski was agreeable with that idea. He inquired as to who would be getting the signs. Mr. Carroll advised that Mr. Holewinski would need to do a request for funding for the signs.

Ms. Ferraro suggested getting kids involved with this project. The signs would stay with the houses and every year the owners would put them out during Preservation Month. On May 9th, the library will provide a program about house histories. Information regarding, “If This House Could Talk” will be distributed at the library. It might be possible to get a Good Neighbor Grant from the Kalamazoo Foundation to help cover the expenses for this program. Ms. Milne inquired if the signs could be used for buildings other than houses. Ms. Ferraro advised that it will be only for houses this year, but it




may be expanded next year to include other buildings. She suggested the possibility of having a few signs in a different color that state, “If this building could talk” and placing the signs in front of buildings in the downtown area. Ms. Milne stated that she would like to have one of the signs for her school. Ms. Stevens questioned why the signs don’t say, “If these walls could talk.” Discussion followed with regard to the television show by the same name and the possibility of trademark infringement. Ms. Ferraro advised that titles are not typically trademarked.

Mr. Carroll advised that funding is needed for the signs. Discussion followed with regard to the size of the signs. They are bigger than a political sign and they will be on a wire frame. Someone will need to buy Sharpie markers to write on the signs.

Ms. Milne inquired if the signs would violate the city’s sign ordinance. Ms. Ferraro advised that they will not, as long as they are not up for more than three months. She suggested that the signs should not be placed too close to the street in order to deter people from taking them.

Mr. Carroll advised that there is no minimum pricing; the printer can do one batch at a time. Ms. Ferraro suggesting ordering 50 signs for now; she will keep them in her office. She will ask people to fill out a form so she knows who has the signs. She will also provide an instruction sheet to advise what should be stated on the signs. The signs can be displayed starting May 1st and then removed by May 31st. If people don’t want to keep the signs, they can be returned to Ms. Ferraro. The signs will cost $4.50 to $5.00 each with the wire. She suggested authorizing up to 50 signs for now, with the possibility of revisiting this issue at the next HPC meeting. The newsletters will be going out Friday.

Mr. Willson, supported by Ms. Milne, moved to authorize funding for up to 50 signs for the, “If This House Could Talk” program for Preservation Month 2011. With a roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Ferraro inquired if funding for the Sharpie markers could be included in the motion.

Mr. Willson, supported by Ms. Milne, amended the motion to authorize funding for up to 50 permanent Sharpie markers to be distributed with the “If This House Could Talk” signs. With a roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.




Mr. Carroll inquired as to the color for printing on the signs. Ms. Ferraro suggested any color but green, which would blend in with the foliage. The background will be white; the signs might have a black edge. The format should be simple, and the signs should not look like political signs. She suggested having Sign Art choose the color that will be most visible.

2. Preservation Awards (Edison, Chenery Interior & Friends of Chenery, 924 S. Westnedge) (Items B, C, D & E)

Ms. Ferraro advised that there are only four nominees for the preservation awards this year; normally there are five or six nominees. The deadline for nominations was February 28th. There have never been more than six awards given in any one year.

Discussion followed with regard to the Edison renovation. Ms. Ferraro stated that the only change to the front façade was the windows. This is a three-story apartment building next to the color lab; it was damaged by fire. The new owner did a good job maintaining the streetscape and making decent quality apartments. If this building receives a preservation award, that might provide encouragement to the neighborhood association who nominated it to pursue more preservation projects.

Mr. Aardema advised that he went through there was nothing urban about it. It has all vinyl windows. Nothing was done to the exterior on the front, except the vinyl windows. The material selection was weak. The building may have been torn down, but it would not be advisable to advocate for a renovation like this.

Ms. Stevens inquired if there was an extenuating circumstances award (honorable mention). Ms. Ferraro advised that there is not, but this project is a step in the right direction, which should be encouraged. It is outside of the historic district and it may provide an opportunity for public outreach if people start asking questions about the project. This building had one over one windows, rather than the multi-pane windows that were installed. It would have been preferable to have wood rather than vinyl windows. There wasn’t much that could have been saved. Mr. Aardema advised that a new staircase was installed; it was moved to the side off the alley.

Ms. Ferraro inquired if the committee would like to meet and look at the nominees. The HPC needs to decide if the two groups need to get together; there are judges from the HDC also. Ms. Ferraro can’t meet with the subcommittees on the 19th. Mr. Wright suggested that the subcommittee meetings should be separate. Ms. Ferraro advised that the decision should be made by the first week in April. Also, a decision needs to be made about the date for the awards ceremony.



Historic Preservation Commission Minutes March 8, 2011 Page 10 of 14 iii. Iannelli Fountain (IF) – Brose (absent)

Mr. Jung advised that he and Mr. Brose are trying to schedule a meeting with the John Shaganappi of the Gun Lake Band.

iv. Designation – (D) - Willson No report

Discussion followed with regard to a venue/date for the Preservation Awards ceremony, which is normally held on a Wednesday or Thursday evening. Mr. Holewinski suggested Thursday, May 26th with an alternate date of May 25th. Ms. Ferraro requested that suggestions for the awards ceremony location be e-mailed to Mr. Holewinski.

Mr. Carroll suggested that that the sub-committee should determine a place for the awards ceremony. The following suggestions were made as possible locations for the awards ceremony: Kalamazoo College – lobby of Fine Arts Building, St. Lukes, the Fairmont Neighborhood offices in the old fire station, Sexton’s Lodge, NACD (Northside Association for Community Development) office. The subcommittee further discuss this topic.

v. Sustainability (S) – Stevens No report VIII. OLD/NEW BUSINESS a. Consideration of application of Curt Aardema to fill the vacant position when Peter Carroll’s term expires on March 31, 2011 (Item F).

Ms. Milne, supported by Mr. Willson, moved to recommend to the City Commission that Curt Aardema be appointed to the HPC seat to be vacated by Peter Carroll. With a voice vote, the motion carried unanimously.

Discussion followed with regard to time limits for public speakers. Mr. Carroll mentioned that the City Commission allows five minutes for public speakers. Ms. Ferraro advised that the presentation from Mr. Palmer was an agenda item, therefore, he could speak as long as he wanted. Mr. Willson suggested adding this topic as an agenda item for next month’s meeting. Ms. Ferraro suggested putting presenters at the beginning of the agenda if they want to speak; if they want to speak longer, they can speak at the end of the agenda.



Historic Preservation Commission Minutes March 8, 2011 Page 11 of 14 IX. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: February 8, 2011 (Item G) There were no changes to the minutes. Mr. Holewinski, supported by Ms. Milne, moved approval of the February 8, 2011 HPC minutes as submitted. With a voice vote, the motion carried unanimously. X. CORRESPONDENCE None XI. COORDINATOR’S REPORTS a. Site Watch and Issues (Item H)

Ms. Ferraro advised that the HDC applications are way down compared to last year. She referred to Mr. Brose’s letter from Western Michigan University regarding East Campus. Ms. Ferraro was asked to be on the team that will be looking at proposals for the East Campus property.

Mr. Aardema mentioned an article about Corporation Hall. Ms. Ferraro advised that the Soup Kettle was located in that building, which used to be city hall. It will have retail space on the first floor with apartments above. Engineers are trying to determine the structural limits of the building. Tower Pinkster was hired to do a proposal for that project. The stone panel façade will be removed. Ms. Ferraro sent pictures to the architect that show what the façade used to look like when it was built in the 1860’s and in the 1930’s Art Deco era. It is not in the historic district but the Downtown Design Committee will be involved.

Ms. Ferraro advised that she will meet with Jay Bonsignore, Chris Roussi and the Vine Neighborhood board, which has had a turn over on its Board of Directors. The new board doesn’t understand how the historic district works. Ms. Ferraro has prepared a briefing for them. She would like to set up a meeting during Preservation Month for everyone in the neighborhood, and provide a presentation called “Kudos and Comments: A Listening Session About the Historic District and How it Works.” All of owner-occupied addresses in the Vine Neighborhood would receive an invitation. She noted that younger people have been attracted to the neighborhood recently and they may not know how the historic district works. Ms. Ferraro would like the HPC to donate funds to purchase food for this event. Mr. Willson suggested putting this information on next month’s agenda.

Ms. Ferraro provided copies of the final program for the Old House Expo. At the request of the State Historic Preservation Office, Ms. Ferraro went to Lansing last Friday. When she first learned how to do Section 106 reviews in the early 1990’s




as an intern at the state preservation office, the attitude of the SHPO was to declare as many properties as possible to be national register eligible, because that limits what can be done with public funds. The attitude of SHPO has changed and Ms. Ferraro advised that she has been too strict in terms of interpreting potential study areas. Based on the city-wide survey, there are two types of buildings that were identified outside of existing historic districts. One is a potential study area, which is a potential historic district and includes the Balch/ Emerson area, the Clinton/Eggleston area in Edison, the North Stuart area near the Stuart Historic District, the Fairmont Neighborhood, etc. There were 19 potential historic districts but there now there are 17. West Main Hill is now a historic district so that is off the list. The Bryant Mill has been demolished and that has been removed from the list. Ms. Ferraro identified 1,500 to 2,000 individual properties that are not in a potential study area, but they meet the criteria of having good historic integrity. The State Historic Preservation Office has said that if Ms. Ferraro cannot make the case through history, historic integrity, or other elements that would make the building eligible for an individual nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, then the property should not be declared national register eligible. This means there will be a few properties removed from the list of potential nominees to the national register. However, this will make the defense of potential study areas that much stronger. Ms. Ferraro provided a handout which shows the addresses of the properties in the study area that are protected by the Section 106 review process in Kalamazoo; the commercial buildings still need to be added to the list. Parkwyn Village is one of the potential study areas. Each property is identified as to whether it is a potential study area, already national register listed, already local historic district listed or both. There are seven to ten buildings outside of the potential study areas and outside of historic districts that could be eligible for a thematic nomination. This will result in a change to the number of properties reviewed in the 106 reports. She cautioned against trying to protect too many properties as this could result in the loss of the CLG (certified local government) status, which would remove local involvement and leave the decisions at the state level.

Ms. Ferraro stated that some of the houses that are being rehabbed the historically appropriate way with NSP funds, might have been demolished or reconfigured differently. Architect Mike Blied has been doing a good job keeping the historic features of the houses that are being rehabbed with NSP funds. Due to the changes, about 1,500 individual houses that were national register eligible have dropped off the list. When Ms. Ferraro did the survey, she looked at Edison and Washington Square as potential districts. The area by Clinton and Eggleston is a strong potential district. It includes everything from Lake to Washington. The larger area is listed in the handout. Bryant and Alcott Streets are not included. There are not 75% of intact buildings remaining in that area, which would be necessary for a potential district. In the Milwood Neighborhood, Homecrest,




Southern and Vassar are eligible. Ms. Ferraro hopes to have a proposal ready for the 2012 budget. She may enlist people to help gather data for a reconnaissance survey and have Ms. O’Connor analyze the data. Everything up to 1957 was included in the last survey.

Mr. Aardema stated that the list Ms. Ferraro provided doesn’t include his address of 1451 W. Maple Street. Ms. Ferraro advised that is an error; Mr. Aardema’s house is eligible. She added that students may be enlisted to help with the re-survey; the new survey may be done by a professional. She further stated that the city has given her permission to apply for a grant. If she can get $15,000 to $18,000 from the city, it should be possible to get almost $20,000 from the state. These funds would be used to help with the cost of doing the survey.

Mr. Aardema inquired if the Oakwood Neighborhood would be eligible. Ms. Ferraro advised that there is not a high enough concentration of eligible houses in that neighborhood. Historic properties are also too sparse on the east side for that area to be included. Burke Acres would be worth re-surveying since those properties are almost old enough to be eligible.

Ms. Milne inquired as to 116 Thompson; she thought this property was owned by the college. Ms. Ferraro advised that may be an error; 106 is the bed and breakfast.

Ms. Ferraro referred to the new issue of Preservation Magazine. The keynote speaker for the upcoming conference is featured in the magazine. His house in Ann Arbor has a geothermal system. Ms. Ferraro tried to contact the individuals who are involved with the geothermal system, but she hasn’t had any luck so far. There are three vendor tables still available for the conference.

Ms. Ferraro requested input via e-mail regarding corrections to the list, which will be a reference regarding historic issues so it needs to be correct.

XII. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS Ms. Milne advised that she met with Bob McGraw. He advised that the school restoration will be done with a construction manager rather than a general contractor. Miller Davis, Skanska or CSM are under consideration for the job; they are all local. Ms. Ferraro advised that Skanska is not local but they may have a local office. Mr. Aardema mentioned that he works for a local construction manager (AVB) who might like to bid on the project. Ms. Milne advised that these companies will be scheduled to make presentations during the last week of March. She suggested contacting the school rather than Kingscott with regard to scheduling time for a presentation. The board thanked Mr. Carroll and Ms. Milne for their years of service on the HPC. Mr. Carroll has been appointed to the Historic District Commission. Ms. Milne is term-limited and will be leaving the HPC after serving two terms.

TIER 2 APPROACH: Substantial Repair/Replacement

Treatments in this tier require more extensive repair and, in some cases, replacement of historic elements with in-kind or closely matching materials. Proposals for substantial replacement will be based upon existing conditions and analysis of cost estimates for alternative treatments.

BUILDING EXTERIOR

Primary Walls: Substantial repairs, repainting or replacement of materials, such as wooden siding, should closely match the historic configuration. Based upon the level of deterioration of the historic siding, it may be appropriate to install some types of synthetic siding on an historic property. The installation of these substitute materials shall be undertaken when: 1) the use of replacement historic siding is not technically or economically feasible; 2) appropriate measures have been taken to identify and correct existing moisture problems and appropriate vapor barriers are installed along with the siding; 3) the substitute materials match the width, texture, and configuration of the historic wood siding; and 4) decorative wood features such as window and door surrounds, cornices, brackets, and entablatures are maintained to the extent feasible (see the National Park Service’s Preservation Brief 3: Conserving Energy in Historic Buildings and Preservation Brief 8: Aluminum and Vinyl Siding on Historic Buildings: The Appropriateness of Substitute Materials for Resurfacing Historic Wood Frame Buildings). The installation of vinyl or aluminum siding is not appropriate at this tier.

03-09-2011 From this date forward the primary considerations for NRE status will be a property’s location in a local historic district, a National Register historic district or in a Potential Study Area (potential local historic district).

Page 1 of 2

3/23/2011

Hello all: The first batch of 2010 census numbers came out yesterday, and I wanted to share some of them with you. First off, the 2010 population for the city of Kalamazoo is 74,262. As compared to 2000, this is a drop of 4% from 77,145. Though this is initially disappointing, there is a silver lining. Since 2006, the Census Bureau has been giving us population estimates annually. I've attached a graph that shows those estimates.

You can see the 2000 census number, and the first estimate in 2006, and where we ended up in the 2010 census. This shows that, while we are down 4% from 2000, we are trending in the right direction. Additionally, the Census Bureau released the racial composition of the residents of the city, which is represented below in the graph. The numbers are within a percentage point or two of the racial composition of the city in 2000.

Historic Preservation Commission ITEM I


Another number that people have been waiting to see is the percentage of residents of Hispanic/Latino origin (which is counted separately, because people can be both of Hispanic/Latino origin, and be considered white or Black/African American). It was expected that the Hispanic/Latino population in the city would increase, and it did. The percentage of residents in the city of Kalamazoo that are of Hispanic/Latino origin was 4.3% in 2000, and it increased to 6.4% in 2010. The other notable information that came out yesterday was the total housing units, and the number occupied and vacant. There were a total of 32,433 housing units in 2010. 29,141 of them were occupied (90%) and 3,292 were vacant (10%). 31,798 housing units in 2000, of which 92.5% were occupied and 7.5% were vacant. Unsurprisingly, this shows that we have a higher vacancy rate than we did 10 years ago, though as compared to many other cities in the state, we are doing fairly well. Though the population and housing vacancy numbers aren't as good as we would hope, I still feel like Kalamazoo is holding its own in a very tough environment. A lot of that has to do with the hard work that everyone here does on a daily basis to make sure that the city is safe, the housing stock is sound, and the quality of life is the best it can be. There will be quite a bit more information coming over the next year, and I'll pass it along as it becomes available.

Commission A genda Report C i t y of K a l a m a z o o

TO: Mayor Hopewell, Vice Mayor McKinney, and City Commissioners FROM: Kenneth P. Collard, City Manager, ICMA-CM, P.E. Reviewed By: Jeff Chamberlain, Director, Community Planning & Development Prepared By: Sharon Ferraro, Historic Preservation Coordinator SUBJECT: FY 2011 Proposed Kalamazoo Historic Preservation Commission Budget DATE: October 21, 2010 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Kalamazoo Historic Preservation Commission Budget for 2011. BACKGROUND In 2001, the Historic Preservation Commission published a book, Kalamazoo: Lost and Found on the history of Kalamazoo. There was a dual purpose – to raise awareness of the city’s history and architectural heritage and to provide funding for future preservation projects. The plan was to use the proceeds from the book to fund small local initiatives directly or to leverage grants for preservation and community stewardship projects. Thus the Historic Preservation Commission budget is entirely funded by book sales. In 2005, a second printing of an additional 5000 copies of the book was completed. All of the projects proposed for funding in the budget are in fulfillment of the mission of the commission. “It is the mission of the Kalamazoo Historic Preservation Commission to work towards the preservation of Kalamazoo’s historic resources through advocacy of effective preservation practices; public education; and research, compilation, publication and maintenance of historic resource inventories.” COMMUNITY RESOURCES CONSULTED The Kalamazoo Historic Preservation Commission consulted local preservation organizations, including the Kalamazoo County Preservation Alliance and the Old House Network as well as historic neighborhood associations.

The proposed budget will have no impact on the General Fund budget, since the commission is entirely self-funded. ALTERNATIVES The City Commission may elect to not to approve the 2011 budget for the Kalamazoo Historic Preservation Commission. In that event, the commission would be unable to spend the proceeds from their book in 2011. This is not recommended.
