activity (small or large)that facilitated historic preservation in your community.
a. Historic preservation planning. Examples include the development or revision of
an preservation plan, development of a work plan for your commission, etc. (use
additional pages if needed) The HPC is revising the Historical Preservation
Ordinance and Guidelines, and anticipates that the revision will be completed in
2009.
b. Provided technical assistance on historic preservation issues or projects.
Examples include working with individual homeowners, business owners,
institutions to identify appropriate treatments and find appropriate materials,
research advice, etc. (use additional pages if needed) Yes. The HPC
provided assistance and guidance to multiple property owners within the Highland
Historic District who were proposing changes to the exterior of their house, or
new construction such as garages, and granting these applicants a Certificate of
Appropriateness. The dates of those meetings were February 20, April 15,
August 19, September 16 and September 30. Additional information for these
meetings can be found in the packet of information that is provided. Commission
members also commented on a Memorandum of Agreement, giving suggestions
and recommendations to EarthTech Engineering Services, as well as IDOT on
how to preserve two eligible homes that are proposed to be removed as a part of
the Highway 63 expansion project. HPC members noted they would prefer to see
the two houses moved, noting there are numerous empty lots in the neighborhood.
At their August 19 meeting, the HPC reviewed the National Register Nomination
for the Rath Administration Building, and provided comments on the provided
report.
c. Undertook educational programming in historic preservation. Examples include
training sessions offered to the public, walking tours, open houses, lectures,
Preservation Month activities, etc. (use additional pages if needed) An annual
awards ceremony was on May 296, and five property owners were recognized for
their effort and work they have done in preserving the historical character of their
2
home or business. In August, some HPC members teamed up with the Grout
Museum and assisted with the "Old Homes Tour".
6. If the city or county amended its historic preservation ordinance or resolution or passed
additional ordinances or resolutions that impact historic properties, please attach copies
of the amendments and new ordinances or resolutions.
7. If new or revised design standards and/or guidelines were developed and adopted
during 2008,please attach a copy.
8. Are there any particular issues, challenges, and/or successes your preservation
commission has encountered or accomplished this year? The year of 2008 has been a
very exciting and very busy year for the Historical Preservation Commission. On May
29th,the HPC held their 4th Annual Awards Ceremony at the Snowden House in the
Grout Museum District. The HPC awarded five recipients , which consisted of two
homeowners, one business owner and two historical societies for their continued work in
preserving the historic fabric and character of Waterloo. One of the biggest successes of
2008 was getting the former Rath Administration Building nominated to the National
Register of Historic Places. Currently at this time, asbestos is being removed from
building, and restoration of the building is set to begin in late spring or early summer of
2009. As noted in last year's annual report, the City of Waterloo entered into a
development agreement with Bruce DeBolt of MAKO Waterloo Corp. to restore the
former office building. It should also be noted that Mr. DeBolt is currently restoring the
Badgerow Building in Sioux City as well, an plans to market the two buildings together.
Preserving Waterloo's past is still a top priority of the HPC, and it is anticipated that
2009 will be another successful year in historic preservation for Waterloo.
