HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MINU`PES
APRIL 6, 1989
The meeting was opened at 7:f�fd p.m. in the City Hall conference
room by Chairman Tom Ensley. Present were Chuck Randolph, Art
Honey and Sylvia Robison.
The principal agenda item was a report on the status of the
historic preservation grant project. A decision has been made,
based on the proposed hourly rate submitted by two consultants,
to engage Elizabeth Egleston of Salt Lake City to complete the
survey of approximately 24 selected properties in the target area
(northeasterly of the railroad to the River to the base of Canyon
Hill to N. Illinois to I-84 to Franklin and 21st and back to the �
railroad). The scope of the project is as follows: The
consultant will do a reconnaissance site firm for each property,
provide black and white photographs, determine if any of these
properties merit intensive level research and possible nomination
to the National Historic Register, write that nomination and
prepare maps and files to identify and cross-reference the
properties. She will then submit three copies of the final
report and products. One complete set will go to the Idaho State
Historic Preservation office, one will be placed with the
Caldwell Public Library and the other will be located in the
Engineering and Planning office. This information will be made
available to the public. '
Elizabeth has indicated she will start the project on April llth.
A meeting is to be held with Kathleen Watt, State Architectural
Historian, prior to commencement.
John Hoehne was present and informed the Commission that he and �
the Economic Development committee were working on the downtown.
He said that Main Street revitalization is not the #1 priority at
the present time since there are a few other projects being I
investigated, but he assured Commission members that he has a �
great interest in historic preservation. Hoehne also stated that �
he has been in contact with UPRR regarding the depot and is '
working on ideas for funding. There have been renewed
discussions about moving it to another location to increase the
potential uses for the building, as the railroad company has
imposed very severe restrictions for the use of the depot at its
present site because of liability.
Further discussion on the survey ensued, after which Chuck
Randolph made a motion to include properties on Arthur, Blaine
and Cleveland in the project if there is any excess time or money
available after completion of Phase 1.
Meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
