The October 28, 1993 meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission was called to order in
the City Council Conference Room at 7:05 p.m.
The Minutes of the meetings of August 26 and September 23, 1993 were approved as submitted.
The first item on the agenda was a follow-up discussion on the Nampa "Town Hall" meeting.
the group reviewed the City Council Resolution which authorized the Commission to investigate
the role of a possible historic district in downtown revitalization. There was discussion on a
report, fmdings and recommendations to the City Council. A basic outline or format was agreed
upon which included the following principal items: purpose of investigation, sununary of
presentations, findings in the areas of leadership, interest, the need for a downtown plan, basic
infrastructure improvements, the role of Business Tmprovement Districts, and recnutment of funds
from a variety of sources. It was further agreed that Dennis and Bill would initially develop and
prepare a draft report and present the draft to the Commission at the next meeting.
The next item discussed involved sidewalk installation within historic neighborhoods. Bill cited
a couple of instances where the park strip sidewalk concept had been abandoned and the sidewalk
had been installed next to the curb. The Commission agreed that the park strip sidewalk concept
was an essential feature of the Caldwell historic streetscape and that random placement of
sidewalks in these areas would adversely affect the streetscape appearance and dramatically
change the character of these neighborhoods. A motion was adopted by the Commission
directing Bill to prepaze a resolution for submittal to the Engineering Department to contain
spec�c standards to honor and maintain the park strip concept when replacing or reconstructing
sidewalks in these older residential neighborhoods.
The next item on the agenda was the 1994 grant application involving an historic survey of the
Arlington Addition area of Caldwell. A date and tirne was set for a group neighborhood field
trip (Saturday, November 13 at 10.00 a.m.). The Commission will meet at City Hall and then
proceed to the azea in one or two vehicles and begin the process of selecting survey candidates.
It was also suggested to do a press release about the Commission's efforts and intent to perform
historic survey work in this azea.
