B. PRE-DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS Pre-development is the historical,architectural, and/or archaeological research necessary to properly document the historical significance and existing physical condition of a historic structure or site performed prior to the commencement of development.The report that is produced is a planning document for the preservation of an individual property. Pre-development activities include the preparation of a historic structure report or re-use study for a vacant,threatened,and/or under-used historic property. The property for which funds are being requested must be listed on or have been officially determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places by SHPO. Properties that have not been evaluated are not eligible for funding. 1. HISTORIC STRUCTURE REPORTS A Historic Structure Report(HSR)can be a valuable tool that can save time and money and minimize mistakes in preservation projects. HSRs are used to analyze a historic or archeological property,to establish preservation objectives for the property, and to schedule their accomplishment. The recommended format for a HSR can be found in Appendix II. The following information should be included in the application narratives: 1. Physical description of the property including construction date, type of structure, original and present function, and type of construction. 2. Discussion of current ownership and the source of financial resources for the property's use and continued preservation. 3. Discussion of the current and likely long-range use of the structure. 4. References to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties sufficient to demonstrate that the project will conform to these standards. 5. Discussion of how the report will be used and how the recommendations will be implemented. 6. Discussion of how the project relates to the state's comprehensive planning process and the statewide preservation plan released in the winter of 2011.The plan is available at: http://www.mnhs.org/shpo/planning/docs pdfs/preservationplan 2012-2017.pdf. Simply citing the part of the plan to which the project relates is not sufficient. 3
