Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes November 21, 2016 Page 19 of 20 9. Public outreach to keep people apprised of the progress made through public presentations and information on the City website. 10. Outreach deliverables such as time lapse images showing how Louisville grew. 11. Walking tour brochures. Outcomes: 1. Specific property types and correspond with different time periods or geographic areas within the city. 2. List of priorities for documentation, either general priorities or very specific building structure priorities. 3. Guidance for evaluating significance. For this particular architectural style, these are the qualities to look for. 4. Recommendations for treatment whether it is preservation or alteration. Understand which pieces are key to keep and which, if changed, will change the style and significance. 5. Provide some priorities for landmark outreach. If one or two properties are so indicative of one particular time period or story, but they haven't been landmarked and are in danger, it might be high priority to do some outreach to the owners to see if they are interested in landmarking. 6. Stand-alone executive summaries to be used as an outreach tool. March 2017, Lauren will come back with a progress report on what we have found so far. June 2017, we plan to get you a draft of residential context. Fall 2016, look for comments from Staff and Boards, make changes and give a final version. It will be getting information and sorting it as opposed to focusing on one context or another. January 2018, we plan to have the final product for you. Team is myself, Ben Hammer (GIS and graphics), and Jim Steely (architectural historian). Chuck Thomas says I am interested in the lost architectural context of things that no longer exist but for what they were such as buildings and mines. Your notion of putting together an interactive display of where buildings were and where they were moved to could be augmented to include those structures that no longer exist. Schwendler says public outreach part is not part of this specific context. Hopefully, that will be the next step at the end. Certainly, we can look and see if we have documentation to include those things that have been lost in the context that we are putting together. Staff has asked us to look from 1878 up to present. Fahey says what can we do, not as outreach, but as Commission members trying to convince someone to landmark a home. Trice says it has been discussed to create a priority list. Staff can do this. It is difficult because we are a voluntary program. Fahey says Bridget Bacon has collected oral histories over the years. If you want more social history on a lot of the houses and businesses, there are interesting stories. Trice says Staff is working on an online platform as part of this project to offer an opportunity to share stories online and include photos. Committee Reports: None.
