• <br /> LANDSCAPE RESEARCH <br /> 1466 Hythe Street <br /> St Paul, Minnesota 55108 <br /> (651) 641 -1230 <br /> February 20,2002 <br /> TO: <br /> Steven Rohlf <br /> Building and Zoning Administrator <br /> FROM: <br /> Carole Zell <br /> RE: <br /> Progress on Contexts Study <br /> To date we have made good progress on the Elk River historic context study and the <br /> • Phase I and II evaluation of buildings within the downtown district.Following the <br /> meeting with the HPC and HRA on January 17,the following has been completed: <br /> Context Study <br /> Review of historic maps,photographs,and inventory records and secondary sources. <br /> Most of this has been accomplished at MHS and the SHPO office and a visit to <br /> Sherburne County Historical Society is pending. <br /> Organization of the historic contexts,and a very preliminary first draft in progress. <br /> Phase I and II Projects <br /> Creation of inventory forms for individual properties,photography of all properties and <br /> description of exteriors. <br /> Research on properties (in progress). <br /> Next steps include significance statements and evaluation of properties. <br /> We will be ready to present the findings of the Phase I and II study in early April,as <br /> planned. Before any "official" meeting I would like to meet with you and Michelle from <br /> Planning to review my recommendations. Although many of the buildings have a <br /> current loss of historic integrity because of facade modernizations,there may be a good <br /> deal of historic fabric lurking behind. Although none of the buildings appear to be <br /> NRHP eligible,new development should address rehabilitation potential. Equally <br /> important is the conservation of the features of the historic townsite plan,including the <br /> pedestrian-scaled street grid,the once-park,now parking lot, and Main Street's <br /> relationship to the river and riverbanks. The mill sites are incorporated into an urban <br /> riverfront setting of both ecological and historical significance. <br /> • <br />
