'The first itEm on the agenda involved the consideration of a
v�riety of sites for nomin�tion to the Nation�l Historir. Regi�ter
in connection with the 1932 grant application. Eight candidates,
all of which were subjects of an intensive historic site survey,
were given c:onsideration. Reaearch materials and photographs
were distributed among the Commission members. 1lfter
considerable discussion and deliberation, it was decided that
three final candidates would be selected and forwarded to State
Historian, Elizabeth Egleston, for additional input. The conGern
of the Commission was that the final selection should be the aite
most likely to be included on the National �iistoric Re_qister and
that the State Historian would be the appropriate source for such
an evaluation. T'he three final sites were selectPd as follows:
a) 1�23 Cleveland Blvd. -
b) 1304 Cleveland Hlvd.
c) 1615 Cleveland Blvd.
llennis Crooks indicated he would pass the information along to
Elizabeth Egleston and request her attendance �nd recommendation
at either the Commission's November or December meeting.
Next, the Commission reviewed sazne of the recommendations
contained in the IZ/UDA'I' study. Chairman Randolph commented that
the study confirmed the prestige of the are�s already being
studied by the Historic Preservation Commission. Furthermore,
the �tudy suggested that the Commission begin looking into the
possibility of forming local historic districts. 'There was
extensive di�cussion regarding the concept of local historic
districts. Dennis Crooks reminded the Commissi�n that th� Idaho
State Code requires some form of design review in connection with
the formation of a local historic district and that the
Commission should prepare itself to move into such a role.
Dennis further indicatpd that the prevalEnt philosophy of the
community and of the Commission concerning design rEVi�w appears
to be one of achieving harmony and campatibility of deaign r�ther
than mandating a replication of periad architecture. �11so, it
was stated that p�rhaps the Commission's enabling ordinance .
should be reviewed and possibly revised in order that this
pur�po�e and objective can be more cl�arly stated. Denni�

Boise city staff for possible input and assistance.
'I'he next item on the agenda was the presentation of the land use
survey involving th� area generally between Clevelanci Boulevard,
Oregon Stre`et, College �venue and Thirteenth Avenue. 1'his area
contains a number of significant and historic residences. �
Furthermore, the land use survey revealed that this area has an
established development pattern that is 959b single family
residential. It was the consensus of the Commission that such
data supports the consideration of an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan and eventual zone change.
