SUBJECT: HRDP Grant -- Phase VI Historic /Architectural Survey and Evaluation
DATE: April 30, 2012
Introduction
This memo transmits a grant application by the City of Dubuque to the State Historic
Preservation Office for Historic Resource Development Program (HRDP) grant funds for the
Phase VI Historic /Architectural Survey and Evaluation.
Discussion
The project goal is to complete an intensive historic /architectural survey and evaluation of
neighborhoods adjacent to the downtown. The project represents Phase VI in an ongoing
architectural survey and evaluation of the community. Nearly 5,000 structures have been
surveyed to date. Phase VI will include an inventory, evaluation and data entry on the
properties within the project area, which encompasses three sub -areas 950 structures and
271 acres. Maps of the project area and three sub -areas are enclosed.
The Phase VI area was selected based on: 1) The 1977 Kriviskey survey and the 2000
Community Assessment both identified potentially significant properties in the project area;
and 2) Federally- mandated Section 106 reviews often are required for properties in this
area for the City's housing programs for residential rehabilitation and lead -based paint
abatement. The survey /evaluation will reduce the time and effort of Section 106 reviews.
Budget Impact
The estimated project cost is $33,766.27. The City is requesting $15,000 in HRDP funding
and contributing a $15,000 local cash match from a new FY2013 CIP #102 -2432, Historic/
Architectural Surveys and Evaluations, that provides City funds to leverage state grants.
The local in -kind match of $3,766.27 will be staff time from Planning Services Department.
Requested Action
I request that the City Council approve the enclosed resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign
the HRDP grant application for the Phase VI Historic /Architectural Survey and Evaluation.

Project Description
Specifically identify the historical resource and state its significance.*
The Phase VI Intensive Architectural Survey and Evaluation will inventory three historic neighborhoods totaling 950
structures and 271 acres adjacent to the downtown. The survey is the latest phase in Dubuque's ongoing efforts to
identify, evaluate, preserve and enhance its historic and cultural resources. Map #1 is attached which depicts all
previous survey areas as well as Phase VI neighborhoods.
The neighborhoods are generally described as the north end of White, Central, Jackson, Elm and Pinard
Neighborhood (Map #2); the W. 17th, W. Locust, and Montrose Terrace Neighborhood (Map #3); and the Bissell,
Bluff and Locust Street Neighborhood (Map #4). The survey will identify a range of buildings including small single -
family vernacular homes to large multi - family structures, neighborhood commercial buildings, and grand institutional
buildings.
The significance of the neighborhoods lies in its context and architecture. The surrounding neighborhoods represent
residential and commercial development from the mid 19th to early 20th Century. The areas hold an important part of
Dubuque's history and it is a history worth documenting. There has been reinvestment of late in these
neighborhoods. Preliminary evaluations of these properties indicate they have maintained their architectural integrity
and would contribute to a National Register of Historic Places District. The 1977 Kriviskey Survey and the 2000
community assessment both identified significant properties in the survey area.
Neighborhood #1 is an extension of the Couler Valley and Phase I Survey area. The area was predominately settled
by Germans in the post -Civil War years. Swiss and Luxembourg emigrants also intermixed with the Germans.
Anchoring the neighborhood is the Holy Ghost Catholic Historic District listed on the NRHP in 2011. Also located in
the neighborhood is the Dubuque Brewing and Malting Company Buildings. Dispersed throughout the neighborhood
are excellent examples of predominantly late 19th Century and early 20th Century vernacular design.
Neighborhood #2 was developed on the top of the Bluff between Loras College and the North Main Neighborhood.
The neighborhood contains primarily residential buildings which also date from the mid 19th Century to the early 20th
Century. Clarke Drive in particular has a broad range of 19th Century styles, including Vernacular, Colonial Revival,
Second Empire, and Italianate.
Neighborhood #3 is a small block south of the Cathedral Historic Preservation District. The neighborhood has
suffered losses from highway construction; however, it is one of the last, if not the last, surviving locations in the
originally and continuously inhabited areas in Dubuque since American settlement began on June 1, 1833. The first
habitation by a family (the Weigels) and several individual men was at the current intersection of Dodge (Highway 20)
and Locust Streets. The first generation of structures in this area consisted of lean -tos, cabins, and shacks. They
were replaced in the period after the Civil War with more substantial brick, stone, and wooden structures. The very
last structure that stood since prior to the Civil War was razed in the 1990s. Remaining structures are intact examples
of predominantly late 19th Century brick Italianate buildings and brick and clapboard gable -front vernacular buildings.
The area contributes to the contextual history of Dubuque.

The City of Dubuque will complete the following activities:
1. Secure the services of Jim Jacobsen, History Pays! who has expertise in the field of archival survey
and documentation. Mr. Jacobsen meets the NPS Professional Qualification Standards for History
and Architectural History.
2. The consultant will undertake in -depth archival research and field work and develop an Inventory for
the properties that will be used for preservation planning, property management and preservation.
Sufficient information will be gathered to recommend proposed significance or non - significance of the
properties and develop a historic context in terms listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Inventory will illustrate the historic character of properties and document their integrity.
3. The Inventory will be used to document the significance of the properties, develop one or more
historic contexts and describe them in a final report that will be prepared to the level of a Multiple
Property Document in detail and scope.
The following products will be developed as part of the survey and evaluation:
1. Two (2) set of typed Iowa Site Inventory Forms for buildings, structures, objects or sites in the survey
area.
2. Eleven (11) copies of the final project report, to include one unbound, print -ready master property.
3. The final report and Iowa Site Inventory Forms in their original electronic format.

How will the proposed actions assist the historical resource ?*
The Phase VI Intensive Architectural Survey and Evaluation will preserve and enhance the historical
resources. The survey and evaluation will provide research and evaluations that are greatly needed for
properties in the survey areas.
The neighborhoods in the survey areas have seen re- investment in recent years. Much of the investment in
the neighborhoods has been done with the assistance of federal funding. The survey and evaluation will
provide much needed information to help facilitate Section 106 review and help City and State officials
determine appropriate treatments in the rehabilitation of those historic properties.
The City of Dubuque Historic Preservation Commission reviews demolition permit requests in portions of
the survey area, based largely in part on the property's historical or architectural significance to the
community. A property Inventory would evaluate the level of significance of a property and help the
Commission make substantiated decisions.
The survey and evaluation will also assist the City of Dubuque in its preservation planning efforts. The
survey and evaluation will provide the City of Dubuque Historic Preservation Commission with the
information it needs to evaluate expansion of local historic and conservation districts.
3000 characters or less
How will the project have an impact on the local community?'
The project will have a positive impact on the community. Dubuque is a community that values its history
and historic resources. Historic buildings contribute immensely to the City's character, sense of place, pride,
and economy. The City has embraced historic preservation as a cornerstone of its sustainability and
redevelopment efforts.
Dubuque has always gone to great lengths to research and promote historic places and properties. The
Phase VI Intensive Architectural Survey and Evaluation will be an extension of those efforts. The survey
and evaluation will educate the public on the historical importance and contributions properties and
historical figures have made within the survey areas and how this information fits within the context of the
City at large. This information will heighten the public's appreciation for not only the neighborhoods in the
survey area, but also the entire City.

EDUCATION:
M.A., Urban and Regional Planning, University of Iowa, May 1982.
Graduate Studies, University of Northern Iowa and University of Iowa, 1973 -74. Completed 24 semester
hours.
B.A., cum laude, Secondary Education, History /Sociology, University of Northern Iowa, May 1972.
Employment History, 1982-present:
Private Consultant, History Pays! Historic Preservation Consulting Firm, 1995 to the
present.
History Pays! is a sole proprietorship offering historic property redevelopment technical assistance, the
preparation of community, neighborhood and community histories, historic preservation planning and survey
services, assistance with the preparation of National Register of Historic Places nominations, and the
development and publication of historical materials. The company has completed projects in five Midwest
states. Every one of over 125 projects has been delivered on time and every client has been pleased with the
results. Not surprisingly, the same clients have utilized the company's historic preservation services repeatedly.
(refer to attached company history). Over time the company projects have increased in size and complexity. A
commitment to exhaustive historical research on the local level and an extensive use of in -text maps and
historical images sets the company's products apart. All products are delivered to clients in both hard copy and
CD -Rom format. Draft and final report copies are always broadly distributed and final products are commonly
mass - produced and successfully sold at a profit to the client.
Position: Historic Preservation Planning Coordinator, State Historical Society of Iowa,
Department of Cultural Affairs, November 1993 to November 2, 1994.
1 was responsible for preparing inter - agency agreements, working with other key planning agencies,
including Soil Conservation Service, Iowa National Guard, Army Ammunition Plant, the Iowa Department of
Economic Development (HUD), the Federal Emergency Management Division, the Iowa Department of
Transportation, the Department of the Army, the Corps of Engineers, and the Economic Development
Administration.
Position: Bureau Chief, Historic Preservation Bureau, State Historical Society of Iowa,
Department of Cultural Affairs, March 1987 to November 19, 1993. I served as Deputy
State Historic Preservation Officer during this same period of time.
1 administered a 12- person bureau with an annual budget of $700,000, representing a combination of
state and National Park Service funding. Bureau encompassed full range of historic preservation programs
(National Register of Historic Places, historical and archeological survey, and the review of Federal
undertakings involving historic properties, preservation incentives, and the Certified Local Government
programs). I redirected the bureau mission focus to that of inter- agency cooperation and partnering with a
primarily local program emphasis.
As Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer, I utilized regional and national preservation conferences
to secure useful program models for use in Iowa and developed a positive national reputation for the Iowa
historic preservation program. This reputation was the strongest in the areas of local historic commission
programming and in state preservation planning.
Special skills include the following: grant writing, inter - agency programmatic agreement negotiation and
development; planning program promotion, crisis intervention and resolution; program coordination with local
communities; and disaster response planning. I wrote and received Federal approval of the first Iowa
comprehensive historic preservation plan, planned and implemented a cultural resource workshop track for the
1992 Midwest Geographic Information System Conference in Kansas City). I advocated for cultural agency
involvement in state disaster planning and tracked lessons learned from the several recent national disasters.
I developed and implemented the "Preservation Partnership Program" (a year -long focused state /local
cooperative program development effort) and organized "Community Cultural Service Providers," an informal
forum for state agencies (its goal is to better coordinate the many community outreach programs through
mission refinement, cross- referral and inter- agency cooperation).
Position: Lead Worker, Bureau Chief, Historic Preservation Bureau, State Historical Society of
Iowa, May 1986 to March 1987.
I served as lead worker under bureau chief in addition to coordinating the National Register of Historic
Places Program. Extra functions included bookkeeping and budget, and project planning.
Position: National Register of Historic Places Coordinator, Historic Preservation Office, State
Historical Department, September 1982 to May 1986.
As the first full -time incumbent, I had the opportunity to reorganize the Iowa National Register program.
This effort involved an affirmative action effort to revitalize the State Nominations Review Committee, an
improvement of nomination quality, and an improvement of program publicity and promotion. The review
meetings were taken out into various districts in the state for the first time. During my tenure, the number of
listings in the state tripled.
Other Activities:
I presented a popular historic walking/bus or trolley tours in Highland Park, Des Moines, each August
for five years. The Iowa Chapter of American Institute of Architects employed my services for four years to
conduct teacher education residential model home walking or bus tours. I also am serving as a member of the
Main Street Iowa Advisory Commission (since 1994).
