Introduction
This memorandum transmits an amendment to the Historic Preservation Ordinance for
the establishment of 565 Fenelon Place as an Individually Designated Historic Property
for consideration at the January 15, 2007 City Council meeting.
Discussion
The City of Dubuque has amended its Historic Preservation Ordinance to provide for an
individual historic designation process. "Individually designated historic properties" are
defined as properties determined to have prehistoric, historic, architectural,
archeological and cukural significance and which are not of a landmark status or located
within a historic district.
Individually designated historic properties are subject to design review by the City's
Historic Preservation Commission as outlined in the Historic Preservation Ordinance.
Historic Preservation Funding has also been extended to Individually Designated
Historic Properties.
At the November 6, 2006 City Council meeting, a public hearing was held and City
Council approved the Individual Historic Designation of 565 Fenelon Place. At that
time, an amendment to the Historic Preservation Ordinance was not provided reflecting
City Council's approval of 565 Fenelon Place.
Recommendation
The attached ordinance has been provided to identify 565 Fenelon Place as an
Individually Designated Historic Property. I recommend that City Council approve the
attached ordinance
