Invocation and Pledge of Allegiance. 20 21 Rhonda Pilcher offered the Invocation. Sheila Spencer led the Pledge of Allegiance. 22 23 2. Approval of the March 14,2019, Meeting Minutes. 24 25 Mel Spencer moved to approve the minutes of the March 14, 2019 meeting, as written. Ross Jones 26 seconded the motion. Vote on motion: Andrea Hales-Aye; Ross Jones-Aye; Arlene Parry-Aye; 27 Rhonda Pilcher-Aye; Mel Spencer-Aye; Sheila Spencer-Aye; Mark Hales-Aye. The motion passed 28 unanimously. Kory Luker and John Roberts were not present for the vote. 29 30 Discussion Items 31 32 3. Discussion of Potential Project to Obtain a Display Case for Historic Artifacts. 33 34 Chair Hales reiterated that the goal was to obtain a display case to place somewhere in City Hall to 35 display items of historic value to Bluffdale. 36 37 In response to Mel Spencer’s question as to whether there are items already under consideration to place 38 in the display case, Senior Planner, Caitlyn Miller stated that the decision would ultimately be up to the 39 Historic Preservation Commission. Currently, there is a four-foot section of an irrigation water pipe that 40 is made of wood and wrapped in wire. Chair Hales added that old photographs of historic buildings 1  DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY BLUFFDALE CITY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Thursday, April 11, 2019 1 could also go into the display case. He suggested the water pipe go in its own box to alleviate further 2 deterioration since it is falling apart. 3 4 Ms. Miller stated that the Commission had to option of allocating a portion of its $500 annual budget 5 toward the acquisition of a display case. She would move forward with that task if desired by the 6 Commission. 7 8 Mel Spencer added that a room might be needed for bigger display items, such as old farm equipment. 9 He suggested a program be established to take pictures of old homes and buildings before they are torn 10 down to make room for new development. He noted that 60 to 70 years ago, there were only about 120 11 houses in Bluffdale. Now about 100 of those homes are gone. 12 13 Commissioner Jones stated that many old homes have artifacts attached to them. People with metal 14 detectors conducted a search of his property and they found some very interesting items such as a bullet 15 casing from around 1890 and a double-barreled pistol. He would like to see those types of items in the 16 display case. 17 18 Chair Hales clarified that the issue under consideration is whether the Commission wishes to move 19 forward with the acquisition of a display case. The City Council would decide what goes in the case, 20 upon the recommendation of the Commission. Commissioner Jones opined that $500 would not be 21 adequate for the purchase of a nice display case. Chair Hales noted that citizens could also donate, or it 22 could be part of an Eagle Scout service project. Discussion ensued on the size and type of case that 23 would be needed. 24 25 Commissioner Parry observed that there is an old home at 1446 West 14600 South that is made of 26 adobe. She suggested trying to get some of the adobe bricks before the home is demolished. 27 28 Ross Jones moved to use the Commission budget, as best determined, to obtain a display case and 29 to direct Ms. Miller to work with the City to identify a potential display case, means of acquiring 30 said item, and a possible location for placement of the display case at City Hall. Rhonda Pilcher 31 seconded the motion. Vote on motion: Andrea Hales-Aye; Ross Jones-Aye; Arlene Parry-Aye; 2  DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY BLUFFDALE CITY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Thursday, April 11, 2019 1 Rhonda Pilcher-Aye; Mel Spencer-Aye; Sheila Spencer-Aye; Mark Hales-Aye. The motion passed 2 unanimously. Kory Luker and John Roberts were not present for the vote. 3 4 4. Discussion of Commissioners’ Status Updates on Historic Sites. 5 6 Sheila Spencer stated that Mel Spencer had the Harley Allred house at 14288 South 2200 West and the 7 granary and she had the Heber Jones home at 14460 South 2200 West and the Will Parry home at 14505 8 South 2200 West. They were still standing and are occupied. Mel Spencer noted that the Allred home 9 was built in the 1930s. The original home was brick but it has been altered substantially, so it looks 10 entirely different from the original home. The granary that is attached to the lot is likely not the original. 11 12 With regard to the Allred home at 14288 South 2200 West, Chair Hales asked if it was still eligible 13 because of the changes made and if it can be moved from “Eligible Contributing” to “Eligible, 14 Significant.” Ms. Miller explained that there are three levels of designation: the Local level, the State 15 level, and the Federal level. The Local level is typically the first level in recognizing a structure. Once 16 Local level designation occurs, the property can be presented to the State Historic Preservation Office 17 for consideration of designation at the State level. If a building or site has a history of national 18 significance, it may be eligible for designation on the National Registry. Ms. Miller stated that listing a 19 historical site locally is up to the Commission; however, the Commission would have to determine the 20 level of authenticity of the building to its original form. An example of such a determination would be a 21 home that had been made of brick in the 1930s, but had subsequently been covered with vinyl siding. 22 23 Discussion continued on the homes on 14400 South and 2200 West that were assigned to the 24 Commissioners for review. Chair Hales stated that the focus of the discussion was whether the structure 25 was still standing and should be included on the historic list. The stories behind the structures were to be 26 submitted in writing so that they would be available to the public. Chair Hales noted that if there are 27 other structures that needed to be added to the list, they could be considered. 28 29 Commissioner Roberts stated that none of the properties assigned to him had changed. He noted that he 30 had looked at Blain Parry’s house on 14400 South before it was torn down but he could not find any 31 signatures on the wall. It was noted that the home had been moved from a different location. 32 3  DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY BLUFFDALE CITY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Thursday, April 11, 2019 1 There was discussion about what constitutes “eligible significant” as opposed to “eligible contributing.” 2 Ms. Miller stated that the plan that was agreed upon was for the Commissioners to check out the sites 3 assigned to them to determine whether the structure is still standing, in good repair, and something the 4 Commission would like to include on the Historic Sites List or propose for the City’s Landmarks 5 Register. Ms. Miller noted that the properties on 13906 South Redwood Road and 16351 South Camp 6 Williams Road are located on properties that have either been rezoned to facilitate new development or 7 vested under a new Project Plan. 8 9 Consequently, the mechanical building on South Camp Williams Road is located in the new Bringhurst 10 Station Project. The property on South Redwood Road, which is just north of the new Maverik site, has 11 been rezoned from Residential to Commercial. Ms. Miller stated that it was highly unlikely those 12 structures would be standing for much longer, so documentation would need to take place soon. Chair 13 Hales emphasized that time was of the essence. Discussion ensued on who would be responsible for 14 gathering documentation for those pieces of property. 15 16 Commissioner Pilcher stated that the home on 13906 South Redwood Road was on her list. It was built 17 in the late 1960s or early 1970s. She did not consider it to be historically significant. Commissioner 18 Parry observed that the Lester Green home to the north was older. Commissioner Roberts noted that the 19 home had been moved from its original location on 2700 West. 20 21 Chair Hales next asked Commissioner Pilcher to report on the other properties assigned to her. She 22 stated that 14012 South Redwood Road is still standing. She had a picture and could email it to 23 Ms. Miller. The remaining three homes were older and had not been altered much from their original 24 form. In response to Chair Hales’ question as to whether there were other properties that should be 25 added, Commissioner Pilcher suggested that 14126 South Redwood Road be added to the list. 26 27 Chair Hales stated that 13906 South Redwood Road should be stricken from the list because it is too 28 new and is going to be torn down. He then indicated that 14126 South Redwood Road would be added 29 to the list. 30 4  DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY BLUFFDALE CITY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Thursday, April 11, 2019 1 Commissioner Roberts commented that he had more research to do on the properties assigned to him. 2 Chair Hales deferred review of those properties to the next meeting. 3 4 Mel Spencer confirmed that the properties assigned to him and Sheila Spencer are still standing. In 5 response to Chair Hales’ question as to whether the properties should still be on the list, Commissioner 6 Spencer stated that he had a difficult time looking at the word “historical” and deeming as historical 7 something that is younger than he is. Chair Hales clarified that the Bluffdale City Ordinance had defines 8 “historical” as something that is at least 50 years old, still exists, and has undergone minimal changes. 9 10 Given the parameters enumerated, Mel Spencer opined that the appearance of the Allred home is nothing 11 like it originally was; therefore, it might not qualify for the list. Chair Hales asked Commissioner 12 Spencer to conduct further review of the property. 13 14 Chair Hales reported that he received an email from Commissioner Thraen, confirming that the 15 properties assigned to her are still standing and are significant. 16 17 Commissioner Hales commented that she sent four pictures by email. All four structures on her list are 18 still standing. She stated that the home at 1630 West 14600 South is now covered in stucco but was 19 originally constructed of beige adobe. Commissioner Hales stated that because of the changes that had 20 taken place, it no longer looked historic and should be removed from the list. The other Commissioners 21 concurred. It was determined that the other homes assigned to Commissioner Hales should remain on 22 the list. 23 24 Chair Hales next discussed the properties on 1300 West, 14800 South, and 15500 South, which were 25 assigned to him. He did not find much out. In fact, he had challenges finding one of the properties 26 because 14800 South had the number 14720 South on the gate. Ms. Miller agreed to make the change. 27 It was noted that the home is one of the oldest original homes in Bluffdale, so it should remain on the 28 list. Chair Hales stated that 15500 South should be removed from the list because it was on the property 29 where the school is being built, and it is no longer there. 30 31 Discussion ensued on miscellaneous properties, particularly a home built in 1961, located at 1359 West 32 14600 South. Chair Hales observed that it meets the 50-year requirement, but the Commission needed 5  DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY BLUFFDALE CITY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Thursday, April 11, 2019 1 to determine whether to have the home on the list as a Potential Eligible. The consensus was that there 2 was nothing historical about the property, so it should not be on the list. Another home was built in 3 1956; however, it still did not belong on the list. 4 5 Commissioner Jones reported that his home was built between 1880 and 1886 and is definitely historic. 6 The lot also contains an agricultural outbuilding, which is a spring house from which he gets his water. 7 There is also a two-seater outhouse on the property. As for the homes on his list, Commissioner Jones 8 confirmed that they were significant. He noted that preserving the places would be difficult because the 9 houses are worth nothing compared to the value of the land for a developer. Chair Hales remarked that 10 preservation could be accomplished through photographs. Commissioner Jones thought the homes 11 assigned to him were significant. He observed that the old adobe building at 1436 West 14600 South is 12 dilapidated and suggested it be removed from the list. Chair Hales suggested that a picture be taken of 13 the home before it is demolished so that it could be included in a display. 14 15 Commissioner Luker indicated that he would plan to review his homes at the next meeting. 16 17 Without verbally specifying the address, Commissioner Parry identified a home with siding and an 18 addition. She felt it was still significant because it was the old Hyde McFarland house. She then 19 discussed the Reynolds home, which has had a lot of changes made to it. She stated that the house at 20 13836 South 2200 West was moved on to the property and opined that it should be removed from the 21 list. The last home she discussed was at 13845 South 2200 West. She commented that it does not look 22 historic and should not be on the list. 23 24 Chair Hales stated that Commissioner Thraen emailed her feedback on the houses assigned to her. She 25 indicated that they looked significant and should remain on the list. 26 27 Chair Hales commented that the remaining homes, which were assigned to Commissioners Roberts and 28 Luker, would be discussed at the next meeting. 29 30 5. Discussion of Historic Preservation Commission Ordinance. 31 32 Commissioner Hales moved to table discussion on the ordinance since Commissioner Thraen was not in 33 attendance. Commissioner Hales indicated that she never received any email edits from Commissioner 6  DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY BLUFFDALE CITY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Thursday, April 11, 2019 1 Thraen. Commissioner Hales added that she had seen some grammatical changes and redundancies that 2 needed to be revised. Mel Spencer stated that he and Sheila Spencer had yet not seen a copy of the 3 ordinance yet. Ms. Miller agreed to provide them with paper copies. 4 5 Discussion on the above item was tabled to the next meeting. 6 7 6. Historic Preservation Commission Business (Planning Session for Upcoming Items, Follow- 8 up, etc.). 9 10 Ms. Miller discussed the scheduling of the next meeting and stated that she would be out of town the 11 first and second Thursdays of May. The next meeting was scheduled for Thursday, May 16, at 6:30 p.m. 12 13 Commissioner Hales reported that she will need to resign from serving on the Commission because it is 14 too much to have both her and her husband serving. Chair Hales stated that she could come as often as 15 possible, without resigning. Commissioner Roberts “rejected” Commissioner Hales’ resignation. 16 Commissioner Hales rescinded her resignation. 17 18 Chair Hales invited the Commissioners to add other homes to the list as they see fit. 19 20 Ms. Miller would be prepared at the next meeting to report on her investigation of possible display 21 cases, as earlier discussed. She invited the Commissioners to send her other agenda items. 22 23 Discussion ensued on how stories might be recorded for the historical record. Sheila Spencer noted that 24 a book, which is now out of print, contained a compilation of stories from early settlers. Chair Hales 25 asked about the owner of the copyright of the book if it was to be reprinted. Sheila Spencer stated that it 26 was produced by the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers (DUP). Chair Hales suggested that the DUP could 27 give the City the right to scan the book and preserve it. Chair Hales clarified that the copyright is owned 28 by the Bluffdale Chapter of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. Sheila Spencer noted that Arlene Parry 29 is currently the president of the Bluffdale Chapter. Discussion ensued on how the book could be 30 scanned and/or republished. Chair Hales suggested they be digitized and included on the City’s website. 31 32 Commissioner Luker noted that there are historical buildings that are going to be demolished soon, so he 33 wanted to know of the feasibility of exploring the soil before it is scooped up and removed from the site. 34 Ms. Miller offered to check with the property owners to see if they would grant permission for 7  DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY BLUFFDALE CITY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Thursday, April 11, 2019 1 Commissioner Members to go on-site and explore the buildings and soil with metal detectors. 2 Commissioner Roberts noted that he already had permission to look at the mechanical building on Camp 3 Williams Road. Chair Hales asked Ms. Miller to check into the other permissions by the next meeting. 4 Commissioner Luker, who is also a member of the Planning Commission, stated that the dirt was to be 5 moved soon. 6 7 Ms. Miller reported that after the meeting, she would like to conduct the Oath of Office for the 8 Commissioners who were unable to attend the last meeting. There were four Commissioners who still 9 needed to do that. Ms. Miller took care of that business after Chair Hales adjourned the meeting. 10 11 7. Adjournment. 12 13 The Historic Preservation Commission Meeting adjourned at 8:07 p.m. 14 15 16 17 __________________________________ 18 Caitlyn Miller 19 Senior Planner 20 21 Approved: _________________________ 8 Commissioner Address Structure Type Status SHPO ID# 14747 South 1690 West Home; Crosswing Eligible Contributing 57913 1630 West 14600 South Home; Hall-Parlor Eligible Contributing 58070 Andrea Hales 1635 West 14600 South Home; Bungalow Eligible Significant 57590 1660 West 14600 South Home; Crosswing Eligible Contributing 61003 1329 West 14600 South Home; Bungalow Eligible Significant 57591 Mark Hales 14800 South 1300 West Home; Hall-Parlor Eligible Significant 57687 15500 South 1300 West Home; WWII-Era Cottage Eligible Significant 61154 1342 West 14550 South Agricultural Outbuilding Eligible Significant 79942 1342 West 14550 South Home; Hall-Parlor Eligible Significant 57851 Ross Jones 1386 West 14600 South Home; Period Revival English Cottage Eligible Significant 65825 1400 West 14600 South Home; Crosswing Eligible Significant 57505 1436 West 14600 South Home; Hall-Parlor Eligible Significant 63274 1835 West 13800 South Home; WWII-Era Cottage Eligible Contributing 129102 1965 West 13800 South Home; Ranch with Carport Eligible Contributing 129105 Kory Luker 1981 West 13800 South Home; Ranch with Carport Eligible Contributing 129106 2001 West 13800 South Home; Cape Cod Eligible Contributing 129107 13836 South 2200 West Home; WWII-Era Cottage Eligible Contributing 60020 13845 South 2200 West Home; Split Entry with Garage Eligible Contributing 129110 Arlene Parry 13876 South 2200 West Home; Bungalow Eligible Contributing 57852 14036 South 2200 West Home; Early 20th Century, Other Eligible Significant 62449 (!) 13906 South Redwood Road Home; Ranch Eligible Contributing 41643 14024 South Redwood Road Home; Early 20th Century, Other Eligible Contributing 61156 Rhonda Pilcher 14166 South Redwood Road Home; Bungalow Eligible Contributing 59752 14012 South Redwood Road Home; Victorian Eclectic/Victorian Gothic Eligible Significant 60258 (!) 16351 South Camp Williams Road Mechanical Building Eligible Contributing 23578 14160 South 3600 West Home; Bungalow Eligible Contributing 58046 John Roberts 14424 South 2200 West Home; Bungalow Eligible Significant 61399 14424 South 2200 West Garage; Early 20th Century Eligible Significant 59785 14288 South 2200 West Granary; Victorian, Other Eligible Significant 118883 Mel Spencer 14288 South 2200 West Home; Period Revival English Cottage Eligible Significant 63425 14460 South 2200 West Home; Bungalow Eligible Contributing 61398 Sheila Spencer 14505 South 2200 West Home; Bungalow Eligible Contributing 57592 14402 South 1690 West/1700 West Commercial; Temple Front - Grocery Store Eligible Contributing 119565 Robin Thraen 14381 South 1700 West Home; Period Revival English Tudor Eligible Significant 82943 14570 South 1700 West Home; Crosswing, Victorian Queen Anne Eligible Significant 58714  Chapter 2 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION 2-2-1: PURPOSE: 2-2-2: COMMISSION ESTABLISHED; MEMBERSHIP: 2-2-3: COMMISSION DUTIES: 2-2-4: HISTORIC SITES LIST: 2-2-5: HISTORIC LANDMARK REGISTER: 2-2-6: STANDARDS FOR REHABILITATION: 2-2-1: PURPOSE: The city recognizes that the historical heritage of the community is among its most valued and important assets.
