Program Description In the spaces provided below, clearly and concisely describe the proposed project. Please answer all questions within each section. 1. PROGRAM AREA • Will any survey or evaluation activities occur during the grant period? If yes,explain. Yes. See Aksarben Neighgorhood Reconnaissance Survery request(Appendix'B) Infill Revelopment Guidelines for Historic Residential Neighborhoods request(Appendix'C') • Does this project include National Register or local landmark designation? If yes, explain. Attach maps,photos,and brief statement of significance for all proposed properties or districts. Me , , • Does this project include tax credit certification? If yes,explain. No • Is preservation planning a specific component of this project? If yes,explain. Yes. From our new website, preservation planning material from the City's preservation archives combined with an interactive GIS component has been made publicly accessible facilitating preservation planning efforts of both the public and private sector. (See Appendix'A') The proposed Aksarben reconnaissance survey is a continuing phase of a planning strategy aimed at identifying, by specified areas,the premier preservation stock within the City. The resulting document is utilized in preservation planning efforts. (See Appendix'B') The Infill Redevelopment Guidelines for Historic Residential Neighborhoods will apply the spirit of the "Secretary of Interior Standard's"to Omaha's particular residential building types when the City reviews project within designated historic districts. The existing Cathedral-West Central and the Bemis Park local historic districts have never had standards"calibrated"to their more specific house types. (See Appendix'C') • • • The National Alliance of Preservation Commissions'training program will cover a variety of educational topics related to preservation planning. (See Appendix LP.&. & 5 'GI) • Other than general public involvement that is required of all CLG activities,does this project involve any special public involvement activities? If yes,explain. Yes The website development continuation project will include an interactive,public GIS component. Public input will be sought and monitored to fine tune the interactive aspect of the preservation website and for solicitation of public,education preservation material. and The proposed Aksarben reconnaissance surveytthe Infill Development Guidelines and t`c 24th a-.O._ are strategies aimed at identifying, by specific areas, the premier preservation stock and specific design standards with public meetings or involvement anticipated for each activity. 2. NEED • What local historic preservation needs does the proposed project address? Website Development Project: This project realizes the preservation need to digitize and archive historic information and data gathered over the years and to provide public access to an interactive GIS map related to local landmarks and national registrations.This project will help usher in a new era of digitized public access information related to all that is historic preservation related to Omaha CLG and other historic entities in the area. This project will also ensure the protection and digitization of material that has been amassed over the years and is available now and may not be accessible in the future. It is extremely important to preserve and protect not only the physical buildings, but the images and records as well. Aksarben Reconnaissance Survey Project: This project will add to an expanding list of reconnaissance surveys of Omaha's local inventory of historic places and neighborhoods. The Aksarben area is rife with many potential historic resources of all eras and types of businesses,commercial,offices,housing and ecclesiastic. Providing this reconnaissance level survey fulfills one of the needs of Omaha's preservation plan by identifying significant structures and properties that have potential eligibility as a National Register designation or local landmark property. The Infill Redevelopment Guidelines for Historic Residential Neighborhoods will provide preservation standards in dedicated historic neighborhoods where specific standards have not been calibrated. The NAPC training program similarly provide an opportunity 6 for an exchange and education of policies and practices related to preservation,CLG training,etc. • How does the proposed project relate to the local government's preservation plan? Website Development Project: This project is intended to preserve, protect,enhance and perpetuate those archives and images which reflect significant elements of the city's heritage,fostering civic pride in the beauty and accomplishments of the past. The Aksarben Reconnaissance Survey Project: This study is intended to designate, preserve, protect, enhance and perpetuate those structures and districts which reflect significant elements of the city's heritage and to foster civic pride in the beauty and accomplishments of the past. The Infill Redevelopment Guidelines for Historic Residential Neighborhood Project: This project is seen as a continuation of the goal of Omaha's preservation program to identify, protect and promote the city's important historic properties and areas. It represents some new ways of thinking on how to accomplish these goals. of the past. The NAPC Conference are all intended to foster preservation education of commission members,City staff and public. • Why is the proposed project a priority? Website Development Project: This project is a continuation of two years previous work. It is highly important to maintain the momentum from the previous year's work. While the website will always be a work in progress,it is anticipated that with funding from next year's grant,we should be able to accomplish most of the goals we originally set out to do and to provide funds for unrealized projects. We also anticipate acquiring some website training,which will allow internal maintenance and management of the site. Aksarben Reconnaissance Survey Project: This project is seen as a way to build on the momentum and preservation benefits that have been realized in other reconnaissance studies and fulfills one of Omaha's identified CLGpreservation responsibilities. Infill Redevelopment Guidelines for Historic Residential Neighborhoods: This project provides a much needed platform from which to assess the appropriateness of infill redevelopment occuring within the inner city. With the increase in interest by the public to live within the inner city and within historic neighborhoods,the importance of establishing these guidelines is essential to the preservation 7 planning of these neighborhoods. National Register Nomin tioa#ootIthS p4a.St C^mroocr7 • The4hxee.conferences identified in this grant request are all extremely important venues for continued education and training of staff and commission members. • How will the proposed project benefit the community? Website Development Project: This project will result in a public access, interactive website with a GIS component allowing the community complete and quick access to all of our local landmark files and national register nomination files and most, if not all,of the historic preservation images and data that have constituted the bulk of our preservation archives. Aksarben Reconnaissance Survey: This project will assist the community in identifying outstanding examples of existing historic preservation properties and foster civic pride in the beauty and accomplishments of the past and help to stabilize or improve the aesthetic and economic vitality and values of the area. Infill Redevelopment Guidelines for Historic Residential Neighborhoods Project: It is anticipated that these guidelines will help protect the physical characteristics of some of Omaha's historic neighborhoods. The guidelines should increase the public's knowledege of these areas and it is hoped will foster a greater appreciation of them. This has certainly been the experience with the property owners in the Vinton Street area where redevelopment guidelines have been implemented. • The conferences will benefit the community through a better informed and educated commission and City staff,which will pay present and future dividends in promoting community preservation planning and processes. • How does the project relate to the Statewide Historic Preservation Plan? Website Development Project: Expands knowledge of the state's cultural resources for the purpose of 8 better planning and decision making(Goal 2). To work with educators and the public to foster a shared community value in the preservation of our historic places(Outreach and Education-Goal 4). Digitize survey data for cultural resource management purposes(Action 2-Strategy 2). Use electronic media to create preservation networks (Action 4-Strategy 3 Outreach&Education). Expand online resources for teachers and students(Action 4 Strategy 4 Outreach and Education). Enlist Certified Local Governments to develop materials and expand their efforts in both classroom and broader public education Action 2 Strategy 5 Outreach and Education). Infill Redevelopment Guidelines for Historic Residential Neighborhoods Project.The project furthers aspects of Goal 1 by funding guidelines that will be diseminated to the public and encouraging neighborhood development strategies.The guidelines furthers Goal 2 because it expands knowledge of the state's cultural resources for the purpose of better neighborhood planning and decision making. This project is consistant with the portion of Goal 3 that outlines the securing of private funding for historic preservation.Two similar examples of this happened in the Vinton Street project. Funding by Omaha by Design and the Omaha chamber's façade rehabilitation program. The project achieves the intent of Goal 4 in that both the survey and subsequent work with property owners include outreach and education. • Community Dcvclo.mae4 t Goals ctrategies Q. Action ltcm ).

Attendees will make their own travel and lodging arrangements to attend their specific conferences. Two City staff members would be attending the Main Streets Conference. An attendee to the NAPS training will be selected from either staff or commission members. • Who will be responsible for doing what? How does the proposed project remedy the identified preservation needs? Website Development-Continuation: The City of Omaha will re-enter into new,smaller contracts with the existing website developer(Sean Craig)and website development consultant(Lynn Meyer)to conduct the remaining work and to facilitate the development and training and maintence of the new LHPC website. The City Preservation Administrator(Mike Leonard)will administrate new contracts and oversee the project. City planning department staff and a local planning consultant will advise,confer with and review the primary website contractor's work at key stages in the project. Funding is also being requested to staff an intern on a part-time basis to continue to scan and digitize preservation material and assist in general activities related to the website development.The proposed project will remedy identified preservation needs,as stated in the above questions regarding Statewide Historic Preservation Plan, by providing a new, robust, fully digitized, public accessible website with a GIS component. Aksarben Reconnaissance Survey: The City of Omaha will contract with a firm of qualified architectural preservation historians to conduct the survey for the area know as the Aksarben neighborhood. The City Preservation Administrator(Mike Leonard)will administrate the new contract and provide overall project management. The City Preservation Administrator will advise,confer with and review the survey contractor's work at key stages in the project.

Explain. Yes. All of the above projects have been assessed against current staffing levels and carefully considered in terms of cost effectiveness for achieving the most desired impact on our preservation program.Our history of working with cafefully selected independent contractors in a partnership has proven to be quite effective. The level of expertise and availability of private sector contractors,working in tandem with City staff, has contributed significantly to our preservation resources. With regard to conferences,we have rotated sending various commission members and City staff over the years to various national and local conferences with great success. As a result,we have a better informed and educated staff and Landmarks Commission in the area of CLG commission responsibilites, historic preservation and preservation planning. The conferences have yielded great results. 4. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT • How will the public be involved in the project? Website Development Project: The new website is being developed as a public accessible, interactive, GIS based website. The public will be able to access all of the preservation related resources, including information on National Register nomination and Local Designation properties,that was once only available in the City's archives. In addition,the public will be able to interact with a new GIS based map complete with property ownership,addresses, photos, links to architect information,nomination files, information on architectural styles,etc. Aksarben Reconaissance Survey Project: Early on in the survey process a public meeting will be scheduled to inform the public about the survey project.

Appendix'B' FY2014 CLG Grant Request Omaha Historic Buildings RECONNAISSANCE SURVEY Aksarben Neighborhood Omaha,Nebraska General: We request the consideration of providing funding($18,000)to conduct a Nebraska Historic Building Survey(NeHBS)of the Aksarben neighborhood(see attached map)in the City of Omaha as a part of our ongoing reconnaissance survey efforts. This survey would complete the last piece in a large contiguous quilt work of previously surveyed areas east of 72nd St. Study Area: The most recent reconnaissance survey work of the City of Omaha certified local government dealt with the significance of post World War II construction. The areas surveyed were, on the whole, built out during the now middle part of the automobile era, which began in 1920, but mainly 1945-1970. These areas are significantly different in their physical appearance,individual structures,complexes,and street planning than before WWI. The City of Omaha CLG grant this year will continue this theme and will seek its impact on the Aksarben area neighborhood. In the late 1940's and early 1950's there were many potential resources of this era constructed in this era as the more suburban parts of town were just beginning and became dominate. The Aksarben Neighborhood is approximately 0.82 square miles and contains an estimated 847 properties, based on GIS information from the City of Omaha and Douglas County Assessor. This area has many potential historic resources of all eras and types including business, commercial, offices, housing and ecclesiastic.—see MAP`D'.

With increased redevelopment activity occurring throughout most of east Omaha, issues related to the general form and design, compatibility and architectural style of residential architecture in existing neighborhoods is emerging as a critical topic.The current available guidance provided by the Omaha master plan is very general and lacking the necessary detail for adequate use and application. Developing a more detailed set of criteria for residential infill redevelopment will also aid the ongoing development of Neighborhood Conservation/Enhancement(NCE) Districts intended to use "form based zoning"to impart preservation standards to existing neighborhoods.The City of Omaha currently has very well defined standards for new commercial buildings and uses for existing neighborhoods but there is minimal guidance for new residential buildings. The preparation of infill redevelopment guidelines for existing residential neighbor hoods will serve as guidance and or regulation depending on how it is applied.They can be used for a variety of applications including: 1. Applicable as established standards for existing local districts 2. Applicable as general guidelines for federal districts. 3. Applicable as zoning code via the NCE model 4. Applicable as standards for tax increment finance projects The guidelines will be developed through a community engagement process and will include the following: 1. Formation of a stakeholder committee including preservation and neighborhood advocates. 2. Review of existing infill guidance provided by the Omaha master plan. 3. Review of state,federal and other local or national criteria related to infill redevelopment. 4. Perform a survey of building types related to single family and multi-family building forms and uses within existing neighborhoods. 5. The creation of generalized form based standards for residential uses. 6. The creation of a methodology for determining specific architectural standards as an added degree of guidance to the form based standards.

The results inevitably were derived from a careful consideration of the philosophy of the client,traditions,the requirements of the program,and the characteristics of the site-the results always striving towards eloquent design with redeeming visual value and creating and preserving beautiful surroundings which nourish the human spirit. As City Planner I worked closely on the City of Omaha Master Plan,prepared area development plans, reviewed commercial plans for zoning and landscape compliance. Additionally, I functioned as the Urban Design Review Board Administrator and for the last 3 years have been the City's Preservation Administrator for the Landmarks Heritage Preservation Commission (LHPC)facilitating and administrating all that is preservation related for the City including the administration of the City's annual federal CLG grant funding program. Most recently I have been working on creating a new website with consultants for the LHPC. As City Architect I worked closely with architects,engineers,and end users to ensure public facility projects remained feasible, the public realm remained first class,and the City received the highest return on its investment. Fluent in the language of architects and responsive to the City's bottom line, I was able to stimulate the architect's best work while simultaneously meeting City goals. 1972-1977: Part-time and full time jobs with various architectural firms in Omaha/Lincoln area. 1979-1992: Full-time work as an architectural designer, project architect and design-build for various architectural firms in the Omaha area. Received both local and national design awards for excellence in design work. 1992-Present: Full time work in the City of Omaha Planning Department as City Planner in Urban Design and in the Department of Administrative Services as City Architect. My design philosophy is premised on the belief that design,whether it is architectural or urban design,should place an emphasis on beauty,aesthetics, human comfort, and creating a sense of place. I believe in special placement of civic uses and sites within the community. I believe in human scale architecture, preservation,the continuity of aesthetic and cultural values and beautiful surroundings which nourish the human spirit in a manner intended to elevate us emotionally, physically, and spiritually El iogw4. From an early age on, our sensibilities are imprinted with an architectural and urban design code. The pleasure of materials, the virtues of familiar forms, the vitality of a market place, the serenity of a quiet spot in the park,to see and understand the values of a"sense of place,"these are all elements of this code that nourish, freshen, and inspire our human spirit. Our sensibilities strive to re-indulge in these middle class pastoral urges-to conjure up the good old days and return to traditional, feel good architectural,town and neighborhood principles-a return to hearth and home, a commitment to environmentalism, a more coherent,kinder,gentler sense of place.
