IV. Public Comment: NONE

V. Decision Items: A. Museums Invitation Letter for a Work Session: Staff provided a draft email of the letter last week

for the HPB’s review. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor from the Pioneer Museum will be arriving back in Town late March. Andre Redstone recommends having a daytime meeting to accommodate the Museum’s staff. The Board has a general consensus to possibly have the meeting on 04/07 with a default date of 04/14. Andre Redstone would like to include a section on collaboration between the museum entities. Lindsey Smith would like the change the word work session throughout the letter to meeting. Andre Redstone would like staff to find out if Norma Harman is able to travel to Town Hall for this meeting. She could also be accommodated through a phone call or video call. The Board supports having the meeting start at 12noon and would like staff to provide snacks and beverages. Andre Redstone would like staff to include snack will be available at this meeting. Andre Redstone motions to approve the museum invitation letter as presented with the amendments outlined and the prescribed meeting date as outlined. Chrissy Karas seconds. Unanimously approved.

B. HPB Open Alternate Member Seat: Judy James is wanting to step down to an alternate member

which would open a regular seat for Larry Garcia. Alternate members can participate in every way a regular member can, but cannot make motions or vote on issues. Andre Redstone would like to



Wednesday, March 22, 2017 - Regular Scheduled Meeting maybe see some more flowery language to make the advertisement more interesting and expand

upon the mission statement. Andre Redstone suggests possibly writing an article in the future to describe what and how the district was formed. Chrissy Karas motions that the Board use the staff drafted article for the SUN unless there are any other comments on the draft by tomorrow afternoon at 3:00PM. Andre Redstone seconds. Unanimously approved. Andre Redstone motions

C. Overlook Deck Recommendation to Town Council: The HPB had a special meeting on 03/01/17 to

specifically discuss this item. Andre Redstone says that the HPB is referencing the 2006 Comp Plan, the Downtown Master Plan, the LUDC, and the Secretary of the Interior Standards to form a recommendation to Town Council. The design was not given an east, west, or River corridor representation of the final sketches to give a representation of the impact on views. The design was also not given a visual representation of how the Overlook deck would look if a pedestrian was standing on the Riverwalk directly next to the new installation. Larry Garcia has concerns of night viewing obstructions with the current proposed design. The site could be argued that it is a historic resource because it allows people to view other historic resources. This project is directly on the border of the Historic District and it is typically an expectation that a Historic Board weigh in on the decision and utilize the resource in which a Council has appointed. The current Overlook has removable shade sails that are installed in the summertime, but even these could obstruct views. Peggy Bergon says that the biggest issue is that the new design will be its own focal point. This project has been a 5-year undertaking and there had been previous discussions on the overall design of the Overlook deck and parking lot development. The HPB has considered that the current design perhaps a bit too premature without considering the true potential of the site and what story the Town wants to tell through the design. Peggy Bergon says that this proposal of the design feels a bit out of place as the Comprehensive Plan Update is underway and could have been an outcome of this new Plan. Andre Redstone suggests the Board crafting a letter highlighting the point discussed tonight. The Board agrees that transparency is of the utmost importance and it’s critical to maintain the public’s confidence and trust. Andre Redstone motions that the HPB make a written formal recommendation to Town Council about the Overlook deck to include the line items discussed tonight and to recommend incorporating at least one public input session to allow the community to provide their comments on the design. The letter will be crafted, with the final draft to staff by 3:00PM on 03/16, to be included in Town Council’s packet for their 03/23 meeting. Chrissy Karas seconds. Unanimously approved.

A. HPB Membership: Judy James has decided to move to an alternate position with the HPB and the Board has decided to move Larry Garcia to a regular member. The Board has discussed about possibly having 7 regular members over 5 regular members and 2 alternates. Peggy Bergon feels that there is not enough Town member interest to join the Board and this should be possibly discussed when there are more interested people.

B. Historic Preservation Month: Lindsey Smith brought a small list together for the Board’s

consideration. May 6th at 11:00AM, First Methodist Church, the Genealogical Society would like the HPB to formally introduce themselves at this meeting. Staff can provide a brief overview over the Board and direct them to the HPB’s website. There is a potential for a large unveiling and celebration of the new mural installation, which should hopefully be installed on Labor Day. Andre Redstone suggests a meet and greet with the community. He would also like to advocate for having a better representation of first nation people and suggests a possible presentation. Andre Redstone says that this is a good opportunity for potentially having Southern Ute elders speak to what the word “Pagosa” means. This could help to tell a more factual and true story of Pagosa. The meet and greet and presentation could take place on 05/06 in the evening. Staff recommends a weekly article throughout the month of May.

C. Museums Discussion: The HPB decided that this item was discussed enough earlier.

D. Waterworks Facility: Staff and several HPB members met with the new SHF representative Mike

Owens and met with him at the Waterworks Site. Andre Redstone wants to ensure that the scope of work is very clearly defined in the soon to be RFP.

E. Rumbaugh Creek Bridge: Staff and several HPB members met with the new SHF representative

Mike Owens and met with him at the Waterworks Site. Andre Redstone’s personal visual assessment is that the Bridge on the southern side has seen significantly eroded. The Bridge is hanging and is basically unsupported. Mike Owens agrees that a reinforcement structure needs to be put in place as soon as possible. Andre Redstone suggest an RFP just for a stabilization structure to get something in place. The bottom line, the Board would like an answer ASAP as to how to get a stabilization structure under the Bridge immediately.

F. SHF Grant Update: Staff has sent the new Waterworks grant contracts to SHF and are currently

waiting for the next steps. Mike Owens met with staff and several HPB members on 03/06/17 to discuss how he can assist in grant and RFP draft review.

G. Fort Lewis Cemetery: Peggy Bergon and Ruth Lambert have met to discuss this topic. Lindsey Smith

and Peggy Bergon sat down with the Genealogical Society to discuss potential resources for records. Lindsey Smith says that she can assemble an SHF grant for this project. Andre Redstone



Wednesday, March 22, 2017 - Regular Scheduled Meeting suggests holding a public meeting to get some feedback from the community on who could

potentially be buried at this location.

VII. Reports and Updates: A. Planning Director Report: Associate Planner Rachel Novak provides an update to the HPB.

Andre Redstone would like to have a public meeting for Historic Preservation. The Archuleta County Fair will be a discussion item on the next agenda.

B. Opportunity for HPB members to briefly present ideas and suggestions as well as potential future agenda items for the HPB’s consideration: NONE

V. Decision Items: A. HPB Recommendation to Town Council to Appoint Larry Garcia to a Regular Member

V. Decision Items: B. HPB to Pursue a Non-Competitive SHF Grant for Surveying the Fort Lewis Cemetery

V. Decision Items: C. HPB to Advertise to the General Public on Any Information Pertaining to the Fort Lewis Cemetery

Regular member Judy James has decided to move her position with the Board to an alternate status and this would allow alternate member Larry Garcia to become a regular member.

Possible Decisions for Consideration: (Madam Chair, I motion that the Historic Preservation Board….)

1. Approve a recommendation to Town Council to appoint Larry Garcia to regular Historic Preservation Board member status.

The HPB has been discussing possibly pursuing SHF grant funds for surveying the Fort Lewis Cemetery. A non-competitive grant would be the best option as there is no set deadline for applications and the most the Board could ask for is $10,000 with the potential to go up to $15,000 for a specialist.


1. Approve a recommendation to Town Council to allow the Historic Preservation Board to pursue a non-competitive SHF Grant this year.

With intentions to survey the Fort Lewis Cemetery and relatively little information is known about the site, it has been suggested to possibly create an advertisement for the public to see if anyone has information about the cemetery. This endeavor could also help make the SHF grant application more competitive as it shows a real initiative to search for information.


1. Approve the writing of advertisements to solicit information from the general public for information pertaining to the Fort Lewis Cemetery.




V. Decision Items: D. 466 Pagosa Street Certificate of Alteration for ADA Compliance

The applicant, Terri House, is moving the Pagosa Springs SUN business from 466 Pagosa Street to 457 Lewis Street. The 466 Pagosa Street location will be converted into another use and the applicant would like to improve the ramped entrance of this building to meet ADA standards, along with remodeling the interior bathroom to meet ADA standards as well. The alterations will include a new poured concrete ramp leading to the front entrance, removing the short walls, and installing a simple railing. LUDC Article 8.5.3 A Certificate of Alteration may be issued by the Historic Preservation Board only if the Board can determine the following: A. The proposed work will not detrimentally alter, destroy or adversely affect any architectural or landscape feature that contributes to the original Historic designation. B. The proposed work will conform to adopted design criteria and guidelines. C. The proposed work will conform to the United States Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and the Treatment of Historic Properties. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation 1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. The planned exterior alterations do not appear to have any significant architectural historic features that would be inconsistent with the character of the existing structure or area. The proposed construction appears to be consistent with the historic district.




Historic Business District and Local Landmark Design Guidelines Service Areas Service areas for uses such as trash, recycling and loading facilities should be visually unobtrusive and should be integrated with the design of the site and the building. 6.6 Loading, unloading and service access should occur in the alleys. Trash dumpsters shall be screened and located on the site as to not impede parking areas. Trash dumpsters should be shared between multiple tenants, when feasible. 6.7 Outdoor storage is prohibited. 6.8 Screening devices and materials must complement the architectural character and materials palette of the structure. Screened areas should blend with the abutting architecture


1. Approve the application for exterior alterations at 466 Pagosa Street, finding that the proposed alterations are in substantial compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and the relevant sections of the Town’s LUDC and Historic Business District and Local Landmark Design Guidelines.

2. Approve the application for exterior alterations at 466 Pagosa Street, finding the proposed alterations are in substantial compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and the relevant sections of the Town’s LUDC and Historic Business District and Local Landmark Design Guidelines, with the following changes and/or additions “_______________________.”

3. Deny the application for exterior alterations 466 Pagosa Street as it does not meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation or the relevant sections of the Town’s LUDC and Historic Business District and Local Landmark Design Guidelines

The Pagosa Springs SUN intends to relocate its offices to the Lewis Street location to allow for additional retail

SPaCe On Pagosa Street. wi have a bookstore that plans to rent our current space on pagosa street once renova-

tions have been finalized. The store will also fおture retail consignment for new products.

In order to rent the front ofour building’We are remOdeling the inside to in。ude an ADA bathroom and chang-

ing the entrance to allow for better accessibility, but it will not be completely to ADA standards as there is a lack

Of space to give the proper width for ADA accessibifty

The change is faidy simple and is much like the entrance to JR Fordf竜uilding at 452 Pagosa Street, Which is

Iocated just a few doors down from The SUN.

We will need to remove the two short walls at the entrance to allow for wider accessibility and will pour a con-

Crete ramP in this entry. We will put in a simple rail with no spindles.

The rail wi11 be similar to the 452 Pagosa Street railing in construction’but no spindles or decorative pieces. Pho-

tos of that rail are included in this packet.

Please note that this building was built in approximately 1973. The front was reconstructed in the 1980s when

the driver ofa Lincoln Continental chose to drive through the front ofthe building・皿e facade was updated in

approximately 2003 when I purchased the building.

The architect is: Courtney King Architecture, PO Box 5823’Pagosa Springs, CoIorado 81 147. 970-946-9410.

V. Decision Items: E. Overlook Deck and Letter to Town Council

The Town Council meeting where this item was to be heard on 03/23/17 has bumped the Overlook Deck from the agenda due to several TC members not going to be in attendance. This has given the HPB an opportunity to further revise the letter to Town Council.


1. Approve the letter to Town Council as written. 2. Approve the letter to Town Council as written, including the following changes “________________.”




TOWN OF PAGOSA SPRINGS

HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD

March 16, 2017

Honorable Town Council Members,

The Town of Pagosa Springs’ Historic Preservation Board has thoroughly discussed the proposed Overlook

Deck design and unanimously agree that a project at such a highly visible site should ensure compatibility

with the goals and guidance outlined in the previously Town Council adopted Downtown Master Plan,

Comprehensive Plan, and Land Use Development Code.

Recognizing the need to replace the current structure, the Historic Preservation Board recommends that Town

Council consider the following recommendations to ensure that the Town maintains its historic richness and

unique character of the downtown, all while providing modern amenities and resources.

1) There is a tremendous opportunity to make this a community based project with locally sourced

materials and public contributions. Pagosa Springs is surrounded by plentiful resources that could

help make this project feel connected to the beauty in which we live, the people whom live here, and

the history of our community.

2) Consider the future of the overall site and not only the deck area. The Overlook Deck and the nearby

parking lot is a site with endless potential. Have considerations to future development on that site

been thought of? What will that site look like in ten years? Will there still be a parking lot or will it be

developed into something else entirely?

3) The Overlook Deck is just a small piece of an even larger opportunity for the downtown as a whole.

Public input on this project could prove very beneficial in many ways. This could help identify as

many ideas as possible on the entire overlook parking area, obtain community buy-in, and foster the

support of public confidence.

4) Consider the visual implications of the structure from all perspectives, including views from the

Riverwalk below, across the river, and both approaches east and west along Pagosa Street.

5) This site has spectacular views and the structure should not only complement these views, but

enhance them as well.



Wednesday, March 22, 2017 - Regular Scheduled Meeting The Historic Preservation Board has researched through the numerous plans that the Town has adopted over

the years and would like to highlight the following sections for the Town Council’s consideration:

• Land Use Development Code Article 8: Section 8.1.2.D, G, H, Page 8-1

we also understand and see the intrinsic value in further consideration of such a monumental project in the

middle of our downtown.

Respectfully,

Lindsey Smith, Board Chair

VI. Discussion Items: A. Historic Preservation Month


B. Archuleta County Fair


C. Museums Discussion


D. Waterworks Facility


E. Rumbaugh Creek Bridge

Historic Preservation month 2017 is fast approaching and staff would like guidance on what activities the HPB would like to consider.

Jeff Laydon of the Archuleta County Fair Board has asked the HPB if they would be interested in participating in the 2017 fair as they did in the 2016 fair. They would specifically like to have the Board sponsor the Chuck Wagon Dinner with the same country western band, would like to have the Spanish dancers that were unavailable last year, and would also consider having the HPB have a booth inside the chuck wagon tent.

This has been decided upon by the HPB to be a regular discussion item.

This has been decided upon by the HPB to be a regular discussion item. The Town Council officially accepted the SHF grant funds for the Waterworks tanks and building on 02/23/17 and staff has signed and returned the hard copies of the contracts to History Colorado. Staff is currently waiting for a response upon receiving the documents for the next steps.





VI. Discussion Items: F. SHF Grant Update


G. Fort Lewis Cemetery


H. HPB Bylaws


This has been decided upon by the HPB to be a regular discussion item. HPB member Peggy Bergon has been working to collaborate and coordinate this endeavor.

It has been discussed to possibly have more in-depth bylaws that outline the Board’s role, staff’s role, and how the Board interacts with Town Council.




VII. Reports and Updates: D. Planning Department Report

PLANNING COMMISSION (PC) UPDATE The next PC meeting is scheduled for March 14, 2017 at 5:30PM. In 2017, the Planning Commission will be discussing and considering recommendations for Town Council at upcoming PC meetings regarding: ~ Accessory Dwelling Units in the R-6, R-A and R-T residential districts. ~ Residential district design criteria regulations. ~ Rezoning considerations for portions of currently zoned R-12 districts to R-18 (R-22 if approved) districts. ~ Zoning Map amendment considerations for areas that seem zoned incorrectly.

~ Micro-cell wireless communication facility installation regulations. ORDINANCE 853, SMALLER LOT SIZES The Town Council heard the second reading of Ordinance 853 on 02/23/17. The Town Council voted to approve the second reading. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE The 13-member Comprehensive Plan Update Steering Committee members have met three times and will continue meeting on the first Thursday of each month through June. In addition, staff has or will conduct topic specific public input meetings, outside the consultant’s scope of work, the results of which will be incorporated into the update process. Public input meetings currently scheduled include:

~ Town to Pagosa Lakes Trail Master Plan Meeting on Wednesday, April 5th in the Community Center ~ Public Open House 2 Tuesday, April 18th in the Community Center

~ Additional meetings and topics will be considered for future public input meetings Since the hope is to incorporate the findings from the Housing Needs Study and Smart Growth America analysis, the final plan will be postponed 30-60 days to ensure incorporation of finding of both reports. Staff will be providing monthly updates to the Planning Commission and Town Council through the department’s monthly reports on the progress and direction the project is taking. WATER WORKS FACILITY SHF has confirmed that they have received our contract documents and staff is currently waiting to received our copy of the documents and to arrange our meeting to discuss the details of the contract. PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS Pedestrian Crossing Safety frequently comes up and with traffic volumes increasing along the Highway, safety issue rise. At the time the Town installed the current Pedestrian Crossing push button improvements at the Courthouse, Mid-Block Overlook parking lot and Second Street, it was suggested that we monitor to performance of the upgrades and later determine if additional improvements would be needed. Some of the additional improvements the Planning Director presented at that time included; A Pedestrian Flag Program, Center Lane Signs, Upgraded Perimeter Flashing LED Signs, Pedestrian Interpretative Signage at Crossings and Permanent Vehicle Speed Reader Signs.

PAWSD FIRST STREET WATER FILLING STATION AT the Planning Departments request, PAWSD is moving forward with plans to relocate the first Street water filling station to the County Fair Grounds, that will be accessed off of Mill Creek road. The relocation should occur in late

spring - early summer 2017. This will free up some interior space at the Water Works Facility and will eliminate water filling traffic from First Street and the First and Second Street intersections. The new location will provide a much safer filling station area especially during winter months. 2017 LPEA 3-PHASE LINE AND POLE REPLACEMENT LPEA is planning a 3-phase line and pole replacement project on Put Hill in 2017. This line is the main feeder to the Mill Creek Road substation from the west. The proposed project would replace poles and lines between Pike Drive east to 10th Street. The current line was originally installed many years ago, and currently exists under a prescriptive easement, however, the current line alignment encroaches into the developable portion of a number of properties along this route, as the alignment is not within the typical boundary line utility easement areas that new utilities are placed within.

This is an opportunity for individual HPB members to bring up ideas and potential future agenda topics. Future agenda topics should be consented to by a majority of the board. Please keep your presentations brief and on topic.
