2009 Work Plan <br />The HPC work plan for 2009 is a continuation of these programs and will center on <br />implementation of the new Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) programs. Specific work <br />for 2009 includes: <br />Page 2 <br />o Demolition review can be triggered by a referral from the Planning <br />Department when it is part of a PUD or SRU process; <br />o Creation of an opportunity for a building owner to come speak to the <br />Commission about the historic significance of a site in preparation for a <br />remodel or demolition without having to pull a demolition permit and <br />without compromising the subcommittee review process. Basically, this <br />would be a "historic review" of a property to give guidance but would <br />not be linked to the demolition review. <br />Met with representative of Downtown Colorado, Inc. regarding the Main Street <br />Program. <br />Gave input on both the Comprehensive Plan Update and the Cemetery <br />Master Plan. <br />Designed plaques for local landmarks. <br />Created "Why Preserve" and "Build Green" pamphlets (attached). <br />Presented the 2008 Preservation Awards. <br />Held a joint meeting with Historic Boulder. <br />Participated in the City's Historic Preservation /Economic Development Forum. <br />Continued work on a possible Mine Marker program. <br />Began work on programming of Historic Preservation Fund. <br />Hosted the 2009 Boulder County Preservation Forum (February 7) <br />o Implementation of programs for the HPF: <br />o Submission of State Historic Fund grant application to begin work on <br />complete historic surveying of Old Town and the downtown <br />commercial area. This information will be the basis of landmark/historic <br />district applications and demolition reviews; <br />o Creation of a grant program for HPF funds for both commercial and <br />residential properties; <br />o Creation of a low- interest loan program for HPF funds for both <br />commercial and residential properties; <br />o Public outreach about the HPF incentives; <br />o Determine how conservation easements will work in the HPF; <br />o Public outreach to encourage residential owners to landmark or create <br />historic districts; <br />o Public outreach to commercial property owners to encourage <br />landmarking; <br />o Continuing HPC training and developing relationships with other <br />preservation organizations. <br />o Continuation of demolition reviews as required. <br />
