York
Preservation Committee Meeting Minutes
November 12 2006 4-5:30 p.m
Attended: Anne and Barbara
Discussed plans to move forward with National Historic District certification.
Discussed : Boundaries and identifying
houses which would be considered "contributing to historic areathat is
houses which have retained their original
and architectural integrity. Question of how large an area. Possibilities:
smaller area, bounded Lakeway south, Fraser, North, Iron alley East and Ellis
West. Or broader area to include Triangle area.
Ideas:
1. Develop a
York Neighborhood Web site, patterned after National Historic district: "Nettletons Addition Spokane, WA". Check out their great web site:
http://www.historicspokane.org/NettletonsAddition/Nettletons_homepage.htm
Get a WWU student
to develop web site.
2. Collect
oral histories and photos from
folks who lived in neighborhood 50 or more years ago. Barbara will contact
Irene Baker.
3. Encourage individuals to research their
own homes and block.
Action Items:
Anne will write up job description for WWU
students for web site and oral histories and send to Kristi.
Anne
will contact Kathy J, to see if shešs willing to help determine which structures
are contributing and which are not based on photos.
Barbara contacted Kathy Newell regarding
York Neighborhood map with construction dates based on County Assessor Records.
Kate doesnšt know how construction data were
originally derived.
Data only
available for residential structures, not commercial. We could have
map within a week.
Check with Planning Academy to see if we
could use those funds to pay for map.
Charge to produce this would be about $30.
Probably best idea is to have it on disc.
Barbara checked with Toni regarding entering
data into state data base. Museum will probably get a work source person to enter information and
digital
images onto the State's Inventory database.
Toni will email Anne a map.
