MEMORANDUM
TO: Housing and Redevelopment Authority
FROM: Stephen Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator
S�Z
DATE: September 24, 2001
SUBJECT: Request for Proposal (RFP) for Historic Study of Downtown Area
Attached to this memo is a RFP to conduct the following historical research in the
downtown area:
• ➢ Context Study-The context study will identify the historical themes significant to
the heritage and development of Elk River. This study,which is city wide,acts as a
framework that will be used to help determine the historic significance of particular
buildings and places within the city.
➢ Phase 1 Historic Survey - The RFP includes conducting a Phase 1 survey of the
entire Downtown Redevelopment Study Area. This is a fairly quick survey that will
place the structures downtown into one of two categories, non-significant or
potentially significant. The basis used to determine the significance of the buildings
include: the historic contexts identified in the context study,the eight criteria for
rezoning property to"Heritage Preservation Overlay Zoning District"found in the
city's Ordinance and the four criteria for determining eligibility for the National
Register.
Buildings that are less than fifty years old or that have not retained their original
integrity are immediately placed on the "non-significant" list. The remaining
buildings will require a more in depth evaluation to determine if they should be
deemed significant to Elk River's history.
➢ Phase 2 Evaluation-The RFP requests a budget and scope of work to conduct a
Phase 2 evaluation for up to ten buildings. This is the more in depth evaluation
pointed out in the previous paragraph. Details like who built the building,when was
it built and for what purpose was it built are thoroughly researched during a Phase 2
evaluation.
If a redevelopment project requires a federal permit,a State Historical Preservation
Office(SHPO) review is triggered. SHPO will require a Phase 2 evaluation of the
buildings identified as potentially significant during the Phase 1,before they can be
razed. The HPC feels confident that the context study and Phase 1 survey can be
conducted for the$12,000 estimate. If it turns out that a great number of buildings
downtown do require a Phase 2 evaluation,it might be that a decision on which ones
to do at this time will have to be made to stay within the budget.
The HPC does not anticipate numerous buildings in the downtown area requiring a
Phase 2 evaluation because they are either less than fifty years old or they have been
altered to an extent that their original integrity can not be restored. They do,
however, eligible anticipate some buildings being for Nation Register status.
The following exhibits are included with the RFP:
➢ Exhibit A-A map of the Downtown Study Area,which will be used to identify the
boundaries for the Phase 1 survey.
➢ Exhibit B - The eight criteria that are considered during a rezoning to "Heritage
Preservation Overlay Zoning District".
➢ Exhibit C - A timeframe for conducting the context study, Phase 1 survey and
• Phase 2 evaluation. This timeframe is ambitious, but the Heritage Preservation
Commission is trying to complete the studies as timely as possible.
Attached to this memo is a fairly comprehensive list of qualified local firms that that have
done similar studies for other municipalities. All those on this list will be sent a RFP.
The last attachment to this memo is a letter from Michael Koop of the State Historic
Preservation Office. In his letter,Mr.Koop talks about financial incentives for rehabilitating
income-producing historic buildings, the regulations associated with the demolition of
properties with National Register potential and other related issues.

Dear Steve,
It was good to talk to you last week about the potential loss of the historic commercial
buildings in downtown Elk River. I hope that my comments below will help you
articulate to the city council and other interested parties justification for retaining these
important cultural resources,
• I'm encouraged that the city is about to become a Certified Local Government(CLG)
with a qualified Heritage Preservation Commission(HPC), This will allow Elk River to
integrate historic preservation into local planning. Preservation planning is a process that
organizes preservation activities (identification, evaluation,registration and treatment of
historic properties) in a logical sequence.Decisions about the identification, evaluation,
registration and treatment of historic properties are most reliably made when the
relationship of individual properties to other similar properties is understood. Information
about historic properties representing aspects of history and architecture must be
collected and organized to define these relationships. This organizational framework is
called a"historic context."The historic context organizes information based on a cultural
theme and its geographical and chronological limits. Contexts describe the significant
broad patterns of development in an area that may be represented by historic properties.
Twenty of Minnesota's thirty Certified Local Governments have completed historic
context studies.We strongly encourage cities to prepare context studies because they
form the foundation for decisions about identification, evaluation,registration and
treatment of historic properties.
We spoke about the need to do an intensive level survey of the two-block area of
downtown in order to properly assess the potential significance of these buildings. An
intensive survey is most useful when it is necessary to know precisely what historic
properties exist in a given area or when information sufficient for later evaluation and
treatment decisions is needed on individual historic properties.

Depending on the potential significance and physical integrity of the downtown
buildings, it may be possible to designate some or all of them either locally through the
city's historic preservation ordinance,or by entering them on the National Register of
Historic Places. One of the benefits available to the owners of designated properties is a
20%tax credit for the certified rehabilitation of an income-producing historic building. In
addition,the city of Elk River may be able to use funds from the Small Cities
Development Program to rehabilitate commercial buildings in the downtown area. If the
buildings are historically significant the State Historic Preservation Office would need to
review plans for improvements to the buildings,
Under federal regulations,the State Historic Preservation Office examines proposed
federally assisted undertakings in the state to determine whether any properties listed on
or eligible for the National Register may be harmed by those projects. If potential
damaging effects are identified,the federal agency involved is required to explore
alternatives that avoid or mitigate harm.In addition,the Minnesota Environmental
Quality Board requires that an Environmental Assessment Worksheet be completed for
destruction of a National Register property in cases where the demolition requires a
federal, state or local action, such as issuance of demolition permits.While this does not
prohibit destruction, it does provide a mechanism for public review and possible
• intervention before destruction of a property occurs.
Buildings such as those in the two-block area of downtown Elk River contribute to the
community's history and to a sense of place, a special quality that sometimes is not fully
appreciated until it is too late. With the enactment of the city's recent historic
preservation ordinance,it seems ironic that some of the last remaining vestiges of the
city's commercial history are at risk, I urge you and the city council to take the time to
conduct a survey and historic context of these downtown buildings and explore all the
alternatives. If we can be of further assistance,please do not hesitate to contact us.
