Local Historic District Designation Process Flow Chart EXHIBITS 1. Planning Director’s Report 2. Property Owner Notice 3. Application Exhibit 1 Planning Director’s Report PROPOSED UPPER YALE LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT General information: Is there a current historic survey? Yes – A Reconnaissance Level Survey (RLS) was completed in 2005 and is still valid. The survey shows that of the 24 principal structures, 19 are rated as contributing (79%), with a total of 5 noncontributing structures. On June 8th, 2023, State Historic Preservation Office staff, along with Planning Staff, evaluated the proposed local historic district and confirmed that the 19 structures listed in the 2005 RLS retain their contributing status. It was also found by the State Historic Preservation Office staff that along with the other structures that retain their contributing status, 3 structures that were not previously listed as contributing to the historic character of the neighborhood would now be considered contributing. The historic survey associated with the subject properties will be reviewed as part of the designation process and will be included for consideration as part of the City Council’s final action on the proposed designation. Are there adequate funds and staffing to process the application and administer the new district if it is adopted? There are sufficient funds at this time to process the application. Depending on the number of new properties designated in local districts, the Planning Division and Building Services Division may request (in the future) additional funding and staff resources to process new applications and review and inspect physical changes to properties within local historic districts. Petition Processing: The approximate cost of processing the proposed local historic district applications includes costs relating to personnel costs, supplies, and mailing notices. The estimated cost for eight previously proposed local historic districts in Yalecrest is approximately $39,842.00 (for 526 total parcels). Proposed District Boundaries Approximately 1800 East to 1900 East Yale Avenue. Total Properties 24 principal structures are included in the designation. 24 total parcels. Zoning All residential zoned (R-1/7,000) Support Forms 17 of 24 property owners signed in support of submitting the application for designation (70%) – includes the majority representing each parcel that signed. The minimum signature threshold is 33%. National Historic District? All properties are located in the Yalecrest National Historic District There is a pending application for Laird Heights and the Planning Division estimates the cost of processing that petition will be approximately $5,150.00 for 68 parcels or $75.74 per parcel. There is also a pending application for Princeton Heights; the Planning Division estimates the cost of processing that petition will be approximately $3,408.00 for 45 parcels. The Planning Division estimates the cost of processing the Upper Yale petition will be approximately $1,817.76 for 24 parcels. To date, the Planning Division has spent the following amount of money from its existing budget to process the 11 applications for the proposed districts: Supplies – The average cost of supplies spent on previous local historic district applications in Yalecrest was approximately $288.00. The supply costs include posters, copies of the application, sign-in sheets, comment forms, website cards, and copies of the Economic Impact of Historic Preservation Report. Noticing – The noticing requirements included (1) initial notification of potential local historic district application, (2) notice of application submittal, (3) notices to property owners for the neighborhood meeting, (4) notices to tenants and owners within 300 feet of the proposed district for the Historic Landmark Commission, (5) notices to tenants and owners within 300 feet of the proposed district for the Planning Commission, (6) balloting notices to property owners, (7) reminder notice to property owners to vote, (8) certified letters to property owners disclosing the balloting results. Prior to publication of the Planning Director’s Report, staff also mailed an initial letter, map and a two-page list of “Pros and Cons” to all property owners within the proposed district. The estimated noticing cost for the Upper Yale petition is approximately $291.06. This year the City Council allocated approximately $18,000 to the Planning Division for public engagement costs. This money is in addition to general noticing costs the Division receives. This money is used for public engagement relating to master plans and other large long range types of projects. In the future, the Division may request additional public engagement funds to help pay for these types of applications. Administering the Historic Preservation Program Of the 24 staff planners within the Planning Division, 11 staff planners are skilled to work on historic preservation projects. Since the beginning of 2014, there have been 178 properties designated within various local historic districts in Yalecrest. If the City Council adopts all pending local historic districts, which include Laird and Princeton Heights, the number of designated properties in the H Historic Preservation Overlay District in Salt Lake City would increase by 133 properties (or 2.6%) to 5,078 properties. On an annual basis, historic preservation applications consist of approximately 34% of all applications the Division receives, 367 preservation related applications and 701 all other applications. Most of the preservation applications are for simple changes and 89% of them are administratively approved. In other words, they do not require a lot of staff time to complete, probably between 1-5 hours of staff time per administrative application. Typically, 50% of all HLC applications are approved over the counter. The applications that are forwarded to the Historic Landmark Commission consist of demolitions, new construction, enforcement cases and more complex proposals. In addition, the building activity in the Yalecrest neighborhood is relatively high compared to the activity of existing local historic districts. Between 2019 and 2022, 1,676 building permits were issued for the area within the Yalecrest National Historic District. Since 2019, the number of building permits issued for the entire City was 59,215. The building activity in the Yalecrest neighborhood accounted for approximately 3% of the building permits issued. The Yalecrest neighborhood is an active building area. In addition to the level of building activity, residents have also been highly active, involved, and inquisitive regarding the current proposed designation processes. We anticipate building activity will remain high and the residents will remain active. The Yalecrest neighborhood also experiences a higher number of complaints to the Building Services Division than other areas in the city. In the case that this Upper Yale application is designated, we do not expect a remarkable increase in the number of historic preservation applications, inspections or complaints. Therefore, it isn’t anticipated that the Planning Division and Building Services Divisions will need additional staff resources to handle any increase in work. Is the Designation Consistent with other plans and adopted planning documents? Yes- The Community Preservation Plan assigns a High Priority to considering stronger protections within the Yalecrest neighborhood to control demolitions and teardowns through the adoption of one or more of the identified community preservation tools, such as local historic district designation. The East Bench Community Master Plan (April 1987 – Page 14) states, “The older Harvard-Yale area contains many buildings of architectural and historical significance. Conditions may warrant creating a conservation or historic district in this area where the city would review all new buildings, additions, or alterations for compatibility with established neighborhood character.” Additionally, Plan Salt Lake (2015) states, “Salt Lake City’s Historic Preservation Program aims to preserve the best examples of the City’s historic architecture, buildings, landmarks, and landscapes. Our historic preservation tools and resources protect assets that are uniquely historic and best represent the story of the City’s past. As a City, we value neighborhood character and the defining elements that make up our neighborhoods and City. The historic development patterns, including building, composition and landscaping, details and elements all play important roles in defining the character of our places.” Plan Salt Lake continues to provide initiatives to further both the preservation and sustainable growth. Is the proposed designation generally in the public interest? Yes- Salt Lake City has identified historic preservation as being important to the public interest since the City Commission first adopted historic preservation regulations and policies in 1976. Historic Preservation policies can be implemented by many tools. Local Designation is one tool to accomplish this goal. This petition was initiated by property owners in the area, which indicates this portion of the public is interested in local regulation for this area. Property owners are required to get a minimum of 33% of property owners signatures to move forward with submitting a designation application. In this case, 17 of 24 property owners signed in support of submitting the application for designation (70%) Property owners have shown a consistent interest in the preservation of the historic character of their homes in recent years, witnessed by the number of successful tax credit applications, only available for the sensitive rehabilitation of contributing properties. Since 2007, when the area was designated as a National Register Historic District, 185 properties have earned state historic tax credits, representing a total investment in excess of $19.1 million for the whole Yalecrest National Historic District. Is the proposed designation generally consistent with the criteria for designation? Yes- Pending a more thorough analysis that will occur prior to the Historic Landmark Commission and Planning Commission public hearings, generally, this application appears to be consistent with the criteria for local historic district designation. Exhibit 2 Property Owner Notice August 11, 2023 Dear Property Owner, The Salt Lake City Planning Division has received a petition from a property owner on your street to designate a new local historic district in the city (see enclosed map). The proposed district includes your property, which is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The intent of this letter is to notify the affected property owners of the next steps. The petitioner has gathered signatures from more than 33% of property owners of lots or parcels within the proposed boundaries who are in support of the petition which meets the ordinance threshold requirements to move forward with the application process. What Happens Next? The following list details the process of designating a new local historic district. 1. Director’s Report: City Planning Staff will prepare a report that identifies initial information about the request and present it to City Council for their acceptance. Acceptance of the report begins the city outreach process and public hearings to determine if a local historic district meets the zoning ordinance standards for designation. 2. Property Owner Meeting: The city will hold a “property owner” meeting in your neighborhood to explain the proposal and answer any questions. 3. Public Open House: Next, the city will hold a public “virtual open house” where anyone can visit the public house webpage to learn more about the proposal and ask questions. 4. Public Hearings: Then, the Historic Landmark Commission, and the Planning Commission, will each conduct a “public hearing” at City Hall where property owners, residents, and members of the public are encouraged to comment on the proposal. Both Commissions will make a positive or negative recommendation to the City Council concerning the proposed local historic district. 5. Opinion Ballot: The city will then mail a ballot to every property owner within the proposed district to gauge the level of support for the proposal. Property owners will have 30 days to cast their ballot. The City Recorder will not publish the response of individual ballots—only the final tally of ballots received will be published. 6. City Council: The Planning Division will then transmit to the City Council a copy of 1) all public comments received, 2) the recommendations from both Commissions, and 3) the ballot results. The City Council will review the petition, hold a public hearing, and make the final decision. 7. Designation: If the proposed district is approved by the Salt Lake City Council, your property would be in the “Upper Yale” local historic district. For More Information The Planning Division has enclosed a “Pros and Cons of a Local Historic District” for your review. Additional information on historic preservation in Salt Lake City is available online at the following website: • www.slcgov.com/historicpreservation You may also call or email me at any time. Sincerely, Nan Larsen, Senior Planner (801) 535-7645 nannette.larsen@slcgov.com Salt Lake City Local Historic District Pros and Cons What does designation as a Local Historic District mean? Local Historic Districts protect neighborhood character by limiting building demolitions and preventing out-of-character alterations. To achieve this, all proposed demolitions, new construction, and exterior alterations are reviewed using adopted standards and design guidelines. Property owners would need to go through a review process. What type of work is reviewed if my property is in a local historic district? The City must approve all work on the exterior of a property prior to beginning construction. However, repainting and performing routine maintenance, such as replacing the glass in a broken window, does not require approval. If you are unsure, e-mail the Planning Counter at zoning@slcgov.com or call 801-535-7700. You can also visit the Planning Counter in Room 215 of the City and County Building, at 451 S. State Street in downtown Salt Lake City. No appointment is necessary. Typically, most applications are reviewed and approved at the Planning Counter. However, depending upon the type and extensity of the alteration there may be added review time. Is work on the interior of a building reviewed for historic preservation? No. Historic preservation standards only apply to the exterior of a property. However, if the interior work affects the exterior of a building, such as filling in a window opening or moving a doorway, property owners will need to obtain approval before doing the work. Do changes to yard or landscape features need historic preservation approval? Yes. In some circumstances, landscaping features contribute to the established character of a neighborhood; work such as changes to grades, walkways, steps, and fences require historic preservation approval. How do I get approval to make changes to my property? Before Building Services can issue a Building Permit, the Planning Division must approve the plans to ensure it meets historic preservation standards. Once approved, the Planning Division issues a “Certificate of Appropriateness” for the change. To receive a Certificate of Appropriateness, an applicant submits a petition with required documentation to the Planning Counter. The Planning Division reviews the petition to ensure that it meets adopted historic preservation standards. The Planning Staff may approve minor alterations to a building or site, like repairing a roof or building a fence. The Historic Landmark Commission is required to hear and decide all complex issues, like major alterations or new construction. How long does it take to get approval to do work on my property if it is in a local historic district? On average, the Planning Division administratively approves ninety percent (90%) of all applications. 50% of those applications the same day they are received, while the other 50% may be approved within 2-10 days depending on complexity. The Historic Landmark Commission reviews approximately 10% of all applications received, including 1) new construction of principal buildings, 2) demolitions of historic structures, and 3) major alterations. If a project requires approval of the Historic Landmark Commission, it usually takes about six weeks from the time a complete application is submitted to receive a decision. Can I put an addition on my house? Locating an addition at the front of a historic building is usually inappropriate. As a general rule, additions should be sensitive to the historic building and it is preferable that an addition be to the rear if possible. The adopted Residential Design Guidelines offer further advice and guidance on additions. Additions have been consistently approved in local historic districts as residents needed more space. Can I change my windows to make my home more energy efficient? Windows are a character-defining feature of most historic structures, especially windows on the front of a building. Generally, property owners should maintain or repair original windows whenever possible, and consider replacement only if a window exhibits significant deterioration. Windows that are in disrepair or not original nor readily visible from the street, like the rear of a structure, are generally easier to replace than original windows on the front of a structure. Replacing original windows for energy efficiency is the last priority to consider. Do I need approval to paint the exterior of my house? No – as long as the structure had been previously painted. The design guidelines view paint as a temporary application that is appropriate for wood surfaces. There are no design guidelines relating to changing colors. Brick, stone or masonry facades that have never been painted should not be painted because it will trap moisture and cause extensive damage over time. Brick has a protective finish or “glazing” that is very important to its physical integrity. Unpainted brick will need to remain unpainted, as well as unpainted stone foundations. Can I use new types of materials on my home? The Historic Landmark Commission periodically analyzes new construction materials and determines where they are appropriate for use in historic districts. In the past, the Commission has found that fiberglass columns and composite decking materials may be appropriate for porch renovations, and cement board siding may be appropriate for new additions. Using traditional materials is typically approved and some new types of materials on a historic building may be denied. What types of materials are not allowed in a local historic district? Aluminum and vinyl siding are not allowed in local historic districts when applied over or in place of historic materials because it changes the historic integrity of the building. These materials, when applied over original materials, traps moisture, which leads to physical deterioration and failure of building materials over time.

Written Description of the Proposal Significance of Area in Local, Regional or State History In the mid 1800’s, Salt Lake City was platted and developed with public buildings in the center of Salt Lake City surrounded by residential lots and farmland to the south and west. The Big Field Survey in 1848 divided the land to the south of the Salt Lake City settlement (900 South today) into five and ten acre plots to be used for farming for the “mechanics and artisans” of the city.1 The Yalecrest survey area is located on the northeastern section of land that was initially set apart as Five-Acre Plat “C” of the Big Field Survey1 The land was divided into 100-acre blocks, each of which was again divided into 20 lots of 5 acres each. Yalecrest occupies Blocks 28, 29, and 30. The original blocks are bordered by the major north-south streets of the survey area: 1300, 1500, 1700 and 1900 East and the east-west streets of 900 and 1300 South. (The Utah Historic Sites Database). The area north of 2100 South was a Five-Acre Plat “A” and the area south was a Ten-Acre Plat. The majority of Yalecrest with the exception of strips along the north and west sides are part of Five Acre Plat “C”.1 Property within the area was distributed by the LDS church authorities, by lot, for use in raising crops and farming.1 Dividing the plots for land speculation was discouraged: 1875 maps of Salt Lake City show no development in the southeast section of the city beyond 1000 East or 900 South. The earliest identified residents in the Yalecrest area begin to appear in the 1870s1. Yalecrest boundaries are represented by 840 South (Sunnyside Ave) to 1300 South and 1300 East to 1900 East. Alice Felkner owned the land that was platted as Upper Yale Addition (Feb 1926, Lot 6, Block 28, 58 parcels) and Upper Yale 2nd Addition (Apr 1927 Pt Lot 7, 30 Parcels) and Upper Yale 3rd addition (current proposed Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD, in July 1928, Lot 17, Block 28, 24 parcels). Alice Felkner was prominent in Utah mining and industrial pursuits. She was born in 1854 in Indiana and moved to Idaho with her brother, William H. Felkner, in 1886 to engage in stock, mercantile and mining businesses. The siblings moved to Salt Lake City in 1909 and lived on 270 East South Temple Street. At the time of her death in 1937 she was a director of the Consolidated Music Company, a large stockholder of the Silver King Coalition Mines Company, and director of several large mining companies. The Upper Yale Additions extend along the north and south sides of Yale and Herbert Avenues from 1700 East to 1800 East. Houses were constructed in the late 1920s and 1930s. IN the proposed Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD, Philip Biesinger and Herbert Biesinger, two well-known and admired Yalecrest Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD Page 4 of 34 builders built 11/24 houses. Six subdivisions were platted in the 1930s. A number of factors contributed to the Yalecrest development in the early twentieth century; 1) the population of Salt Lake City almost doubling from 1900 to 1910, 2) air pollution in the valley from coal burning furnaces led residents to seek higher elevations East of 1300 East for cleaner air to breathe for their residences recently developed by in-state and out-of-state land developers. Transportation options made the Yalecrest area easily accessible to the downtown area. The primary means of transportation in the early part of this era was the streetcar line along 1500 East.1 The streetcars serving the Yalecrest area traveled from downtown to 1300 East in front of East High, traveling East along 900 South to 1500 East, then south on 1500 East to the State Prison located at 2100 S. The former State Prison on 2100 South is the current site of Sugar House Park. 1960’s and Beyond (1960-2005) The Yalecrest neighborhood, in general and Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD specifically, avoided the blight common in many urban residential neighborhoods during this era. There was no population pressure as the population of Salt Lake City slightly decreased during this time period.12 No major roads were built through the neighborhood although traffic increased on the border streets of 1300 South, 1300 East and Sunnyside Ave. Zoning ordinances restricted commercial building to a few spots on the major streets. Fifty-one duplexes are original to the Yalecrest neighborhood: there is one duplex in the proposed Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD, located at 1884-88 E Yale Ave on the corner of 1900 East. The attractive neighborhoods of Yalecrest have mature street trees, single-family owner-occupied, well-maintained houses with landscaped yards and continue to be a desirable residential area.1 The current practice of razing an existing small historic structure and replacing it with a residence 3-4 times the size of the original house in established neighborhoods galvanized some residents into action in the years 2000-2005. A zoning overlay ordinance was created called the Yalecrest Compatible Infill Overlay ordinance was passed by the Salt Lake City Council in 2005. The purpose of the ordinance is: to encourage compatibility between new construction, additions or alterations and the existing character and scale of the surrounding neighborhood. That infill overlay zoning regulated building height, minimum front yard size, and several aspects of garages or accessory structures. Due to liberal interpretation of the current City and State demolition ordinances, houses in Yalecrest continue to be demolished above ground (teardowns) or complete removal of an existing house above and below ground (demolition) and replaced with new construction of out-of-size, mass, scale and material incompatible housing (the often referred to described, “McMansion”). Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD Page 5 of 34 The currently proposed SLC “Affordable Housing Incentive” (AHI) City (2023) aims to increase multifamily housing citywide independent of proximity to transportation corridors. To erect multifamily housing in fully-established neighborhoods will require demolition of current housing. Demolition will be automatically approved over-the-counter approval of any existing house whether “historically contributing” or “historically contributing” in areas listed on the National Register of Historic Places, since that federal honor status provides no protection from local zoning codes. In contrast, local historic districts provide some local protection by limiting demolitions of historically contributing” houses, but not “historic noncontributing” houses. Nonetheless, any new construction in a local historic district must be reviewed and approved for compatibility in mass, scale and material by the Historic Landmarks Commission. Further complicating the potential destruction of the city’s historic neighborhoods is the proposed re-assessment of all structures for “historic noncontributing status” in the text- modification of Historic District Designation in city’s code (PLNPCM2023-00123 Overlay District : 21A.34.020 H Historic Preservation Overlay District). Depending on the criteria established for “historic noncontributing” assessment, previous historic neighborhoods designated as local historic districts and those listed on the National Register of Historic Places may lose their “historic” status if the percent of ‘historic contributing” houses fall below 75%. Without a reasonable period of time for homeowners to rehabilitate their houses to re-establish their “historic contributing” status, many current protected local historic neighborhoods and those listed on the National Register of Historic Places will be lost and not able to apply for a local historic district designation in the future. With the proposed over-the-counter demolition approval of “historic noncontributing” dwellings in currently established local historic districts or any house (historically contributing or not) on the National Register of Historic Places, Salt Lake City will lose all historic neighborhoods. Designation of a local historic district is the only current legal option to minimize demolition in historic single-family houses and insure if demolition does occur, that new construction must be reviewed and approved by the Historic Landmarks Commission in an established, mature and historic neighborhood. Yalecrest remains a desirable residential area with mature street trees and well- maintained historic houses and yards. It has a significant concentration of historic houses, fifty-nine percent of which are period revival cottages, built by prominent architects and developers in subdivisions from the 1910s through the 1940s with some infill and development in the 1950s. Its historic houses retain their historic integrity to a remarkable degree, ninety-one percent (91%) and contribute to the historic association and feeling of the area In the spring of 2007. The proposed Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights Local Historic District (LHD) is located on Block 30 and encompasses 24 of the following properties; 12 properties on the North side of the 1800 block of E Yale Ave (1802-1884/88 E) and 12 properties on the South side of 1800 block of E Yale Ave Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD Page 6 of 34 (1803-1885), (see APPENDIX A). Thus, 23 single- family houses and 1 two-family duplex (1884-1888 Yale Ave) are contained within the 24 property parcels of the proposed Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD. Physical Integrity of Houses in the Area There is a very high degree of retained historic integrity in the proposed Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD. Nineteen of the 24 dwellings or 79.1% are “historically contributing”. Seventeen of 24 (70.8%) were assessed as either /significant and eligible contributing (A), and 2 of 24 (8.3%) were considered eligible and contributing (B) for a total of 19/24 or 79.1% contributing houses. Five houses (20.8%) are nonhistorically contributing (C). The contributory status of other properties in Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD were partially reviewed by Planning before submitting the current LHD application, but some properties may have changed since the last assessment in 2005. The garages in the proposed Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD are primarily detached and located behind the houses. Houses that may no longer have contributory status are listed in APPENDIX C. An Architectural and Historic Reconnaissance Level Survey (RLS) of Yalecrest was conducted in 20051, by Beatrice Lufkin of the Utah State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for Salt Lake City in preparation for the National Register of Historic Places application for the Yalecrest neighborhood. Much of the information in this document comes from that reconnaissance level survey (RLS). The proposed Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD area contains houses constructed over the time period from 1928 (1802 and 1813 E Yale Ave) and extending through 1939 (1836 and 1850 E Yale Ave) in the historic era. The 1940 and 1950 Censuses list the professions of property owners which include physicians, business merchants, law (attorney), Insurance and investments. Commercial Properties There are no commercial properties in the proposed Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD. Developers, Builders and Architects The street Yale Ave is part of 5 different subdivisions in Yalecrest including 1 unincorporated subdivision area (1300-1400 E Yale Ave on the north side of the street plus 1300-1500 E Yale Ave on the south side). The Ashton-Jenkins Company, one of the largest real estate and mortgage banking companies in Utah, recorded three subdivisions in the survey area: Yale Park (1400-1500 E Yale Ave) in 1913, Yale Park Plat A in 1915 and Upper Yale Park (1500-1700 E Yale Ave), in 1924. Yale Park was heavily promoted in the newspapers and attracted prominent homeowners. Upper Yale Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD Page 7 of 34 2nd Addition (1700-1800) and the Upper Yale 3rd addition (1800-10900 E Yale Ave) were developed in 1927-28. Alice Felkner owned the land that was platted as Upper Yale Addition, Upper Yale 2nd Addition and Upper Yale 3rd addition in 1926, 1927, and 1928, respectively. Alice Felkner was prominent in Utah mining and industrial pursuits. She was born in 1854 in Indiana and moved to Idaho with her brother, William H. Felkner, in 1886 to engage in stock, mercantile and mining businesses. The siblings moved to Salt Lake City in 1909 and lived on 270 East South Temple Street.

The Upper Yale Additions extend along the north and south sides of Yale and Herbert Avenues from 1700 East to 1800 East. Houses were constructed in the late 1920s and 1930s, primarily by Philip Biesinger, another Yalecrest builder and developer. Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD contains 24 property parcels. A number of notable Salt Lake builders were responsible for building exceptional houses in the proposed Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD. Notable Builders in Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD Notable Builders TOTAL Phillip Biesinger 8 Herbert Biesinger 3 AE Jorgenson 1 The proposed boundaries of the Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD are outlined in red (APPENDIX A-1). It will join 6 other LHDs created in Yalecrest: Harvard Park, Princeton Park, Yale Plat A/Upper Harvard, Harvard Heights, Normandie Circle and Douglas Park- I, outlined in blue. It will join two additional LHDs currently being in the City process (Princeton Heights and Laird Heights) for historical district designation outlined in red. The proposed Upper Yale Heights LHD outlined in purple is the only street amongst the 1800-1900 blocks of Yalecrest with sufficient “historically contributing” status to be considered for an LHD. To date no other sections of Yale Ave are protected by LHDs. Further, it is the only street in the 1800-1900 blocks of Yalecrest that has not experienced the extensive demolition or original housing and replacement by new, larger “McMansion” replacement construction. A map of the 56 completed demolitions and 2 pending demolition permits approved in Yalecrest can be seen below. The red backhoe icons represent demolitions of “historically contributing” houses and replacement with new, incompatible construction. Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD Page 8 of 34 Demolition Map of “Historically Contributing” houses in Yalecrest Designating the Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights as a Local Historic District (LHD) zoning overlay would minimize the frequent teardowns and demolitions (57 permit filings over the past 27 years) that have plagued the Yalecrest neighborhood in recent years. The 1800 block of Yale Ave is one of the last remaining intact “historically contributing” streets in this area of Yalecrest. In addition, the recent Affordable Housing Overlay/Incentive (AHO) which allows demolition of historic houses for new multi-family housing installation within ¼ mile of high frequency bus transportation on 1300 East) has concerned this quiet street. Designation of Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD would maintain the historic character, mass and scale of the street face architecture by while providing homeowners and district residents the only legal method to minimize demolition and dismantling of intact historic structures that result in loss of neighborhood character. These services are not offered from Salt Lake City to the National Register of Historic Place designation, nor the local City Yalecrest Compatible Infill Overlay (YCIO) zoning ordinance.

It is interesting to note that Yalecrest in general, and Upper Yale 3rd Addition subdivision in particular, attracts home buyers that stay in residence for extended periods of time. Many have lived in these houses for over 20-30 years. This continuity lends consistency, character and stewardship to the area. The proposed Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD has a variety of trees planted in the park strip of the vast majority (19/24) of property parcels. Some property parcels park strips have 2 trees. Only 5 parcels have NO park strip trees. Tree genus species include a variety of Maples, London Plane, Black locust, and Japanese lilac tree. The largest diameter trees (>20”) and therefore the oldest trees, are primarily the original Norway Maples planted on the street. The majority of those trees have been replaced with smaller diameter and maximal height trees over the last 1-15 years. Tree-lined streets with streetlights provide shade, shelter and safety in the neighborhood.

Huron R Free owned the house from 1933-1949. Mr Free was vice-president of a refrigeration company, Hygeia in Sugarhouse, originally located west of Redman storage on 2100 S. Hygeia was the place Salt Lakers got their ice. Roy Free started the ice- making business, and his son, (Huron) Ray, delivered ice via a horse-drawn wagon at a time when refrigerators weren't common. Built in 1912 by J. Roy and Huron Free, the Hygeia Ice Company became a major producer of ice, with the nation’s largest storage locker facility. The name Hygeia stood for the ancient goddess of purity and cleanliness. At first known as Hygeia Ice and Coal, it was one of the first businesses on the block and was located on the north side of Parleys Creek where the hotel now stands. Four wells on the property provided water for Hygeia Ice Company and later for Carbo Chemical Company, which produced carbon dioxide for manufacturing dry ice. In 1948, Hygeia Iceland opened at 1208 E. 2100 South in Sugar House during the record-cold winter of 1948. It was a Utah favorite place. Hygeia Iceland and later addition Swimland relied on materials and compressors used in the ice business to become Utah's first ice rink and to create one of its first heated pools. For many years, the Olympic-size swimming pool, built in the late 1950s, was the only heated pool in the valley open for public use. Later, the family put a slick cement surface on the rink for summer roller-skating. At one point, there also was a miniature golf course on the site. As late as the 1950s, a 500-pound block of ice cost $2.50, and lasted weeks. The Hygeia Iceland became the place you just had to go. They put in a warming hut, with a fireplace. And they had lots of popcorn. Outdoor Skating was big, all across the nation. Baby boomers had many of their first booms on ice. It was the perfect place and parents would just come and drop off their kids. It eventually became a race against warm weather. Once the ice melted in the summer it became Hygeia Swimland. Later they enclosed it and hockey became standard fare. But today… it is still a parking lot on 1200 block of 21st Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD Page 17 of 34 South.

He lived at 452 S 800 E with his wife Bertha and daughter. He is credited as the foremost masonry contractor in the Mountain West and is responsible for the exquisite masonry associated with this house. He worked with stone as well, creating “This is the Place Monument and LDS temples in Los Angeles and Idaho Falls, He learned the masonry trade from his father, with whom he co-owned the masonry contracting business. Together they are cited as having done brick work in every Salt Lake City block (Hortense Child Smith his secretary, Mormonwik.com). He Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD Page 23 of 34 is also the creator of Gilgal Garden, a “visionary art environment” in Salt Lake City. “One of the most important artistic innovations in Gilgal Garden was Child’s use of an oxyacetylene torch, like those used to cut steel, for cutting stone. The heat of the torch removed the waste rock and fused the surface of the remaining stone, giving it a polished sheen. Child’s son-in-law and assistant, Bryant Higgs, was a skilled welder and pioneered this sculpting method. Higgs taught well- known Utah sculptor Maurice Brooks to sculpt with the torch. Following Child’s careful instructions, Brooks carved features on several of Child’s works, including The Sphinx, The Monument to the Trade, Daniel II, Malachi, and The Last Chapter of the Book of Ecclesiastes.” gilgalgarden.com). The garden contains twelve original sculptural arrangements and over 70 stones engraved with scriptures, poems, and philosophical texts. Child died in 1963. His neighbor Grant Fetzer bought the property and the Fetzer family maintained the garden for 35 years, opening it briefly on Sundays for tours. A non-profit group, Friends of Gilgal Garden, was formed in 1998 with Hortense Child Smith leading the effort to raise money and purchase the garden, which they did in 2000. Gilgal Park is a city park open to the public. Restoration of Child’s sculptures continue. (Mormonwiki.com) George William (Bill) Shipler, (1906-1956), owner George William (a.k.a. Bill) Shipler (1906-1956), wife Irene and daughter owned this house for 16 years (1940-56). George William (Bill) Shipler (1906-1956), was the father of William Hollis Shipler (1929-2010), son of Harry Shipler (1878-1961)/Jessie Smith and grandson of James William Shipler (1849-1937). All were involved in photography and father-son partners in a photographic supplies business over 3 generations. They were famous for their glass plate negative photography of areas throughout the developing intermountain west (Utah, Colorado, Nevada, and Wyoming in the early 20th century. The Shiplers were master photographers who practiced their craft with skill and style. The glass plate negative images in this collection, especially during the initial years when they used large negative format (mostly 8 x 10), are among the finest found anywhere. George William Shipler capture many photographs of Yalecrest as it developed in early 20th century. His photograph collection (100,000 photo negatives) is housed in the UU Marriot Library Digital Collections Section in the Utah State Historical Society repository (history.utah.gov). Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD Page 24 of 34 1884-1888 E Yale Ave: (1930 English Cottage,”A) This two-family residency (duplex) English Cottage architectural style house was built in 1930 by noted local Yalecrest builder Philiip Biesinger (1882-1937) with striated polychrome brick (a combination of gold green, dark brown, red brown bricks). Polychrome brick is highly admired and used in a number of fine houses in Yalecrest. The house is assessed as “historically contributing, A”. Carl E Lind was a film salesman who worked with a ‘moving picture” company lived in the 1888 side of the duplex in the 1940 census with his wife, Virginia, a daughter and a sister. This duplex has a continuous list of renters from 1930 to the current historic era. 5. Consistent Designation Of The Proposed LHD Designation With Adopted Planning City Policies and Master Plans Historic Preservation Overlay 21A.34.020.A (click here for a link to the Historic Preservation Overay zoning provisions) A. Purpose Statement: In order to contribute to the welfare, prosperity and education of the people of Salt Lake City, the purpose of the H historic preservation overlay district is to: 1. Provide the means to protect and preserve areas of the city and individual structures and sites having historic, architectural or cultural significance; 2. Encourage new development, redevelopment and the subdivision of lots in historic districts that is compatible with the character of existing development of historic districts or individual landmarks; 3. Abate the destruction and demolition of historic structures; 4. Implement adopted plans of the city related to historic preservation; 5. Foster civic pride in the history of Salt Lake City; 6. Protect and enhance the attraction of the city's historic landmarks and districts for tourists and visitors; 7. Foster economic development consistent with historic preservation; and 8. Encourage social, economic and environmental sustainability. Adopted Master Plans and City Policies Community Preservation Plan: The City Council adopted the Community Preservation Plan in October 2012. The Plan is the key strategic document that will guide Salt Lake Guthrie Bicycle store located at 333 South Main Street in Salt Lake City. SHIPLER COLLECTION, UTAH STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD Page 25 of 34 City’s preservation efforts into the future. The purpose of the plan is to address the important goals of historic preservation and community character preservation to ensure the continued preservation of the City’s neighborhoods. The Plan provides vision and established policies that will help preserve those areas of the City that are uniquely historic and tell the story of the City’s historic past. (Click this link to view the Community Preservation Plan) Relevant Community Preservation Plan Policies Policy 3.1a: Identify historic resources in the City through the use of surveys that are consistent with the adopted State Historic Preservation Office survey criteria. Policy 3.2a: Local designation of historic resources should occur where the primary purpose is to protect the historic resources for the public interest and not where the primary purpose is something other than that such as to stabilize a neighborhood or preserve neighborhood character. Policy 3.2b: The pursuance of new locally designated historic resources should focus on protecting the best examples of an element of the City’s history, development patterns and architecture. Local historic districts should have logical boundaries based on subdivision plats, physical and / or cultural features and significant character defining features where possible. Policy 3.2c: Protect exemplary groupings of historic properties as local historic districts. Policy 3.2d: Local designation should only occur after the City has an understanding of the degree of property owner and public support for the proposed designation. Policy 3.2e: Local designation of historic properties should only occur, after the City expends resources to inform property owners of the reasons for the proposed designation and what regulations will be included and the incentives offered for local designation. Policy 3.2h: Prior to local designation, national designation should be pursued to ensure financial incentives are in place for those historic resources that are regulated locally. Policy 3.2i: Professional reconnaissance level survey work should be completed prior to designating a local historic district because it identifies the number and type of historic resources in an area and provides the information needed when determining the appropriateness for change to a specific historic resource. Other Adopted City Policy documents addressing the role of Historic Preservation East Bench Community Master Plan (2017): (click this link to view the East Bench Master Plan) The proposed Yalecrest –Upper Yale Heights Local Historic District is located within the area covered by the East Bench Community Master Plan. A stated goal of the Urban Design section of the plan is to “enhance the visual and aesthetic qualities and create a sense of visual unity within the community.” The Plan identifies the following elements which detract from the residential character: - Building remodeling or additions that are not compatible with the design of the original structure or neighboring homes, and Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD Page 26 of 34 - New structures that are not compatible with the design of surrounding homes. In the1987 East Bench Master Plan, the Yalecrest neighborhood is specifically identified for preservation. “The older Harvard-Yale area contains many buildings of architectural and historic significance. Conditions may warrant creating a conservation or historic district in this area where the city would review all new buildings, additions, or alterations for compatibility with established neighborhood character. The city is in the process of conducting a survey of the community to document sites of architectural and historic significance and to evaluate the potential for establishing a historic district.” In the 2017 version of the East Bench Master Plan, Yalecrest is noted for being the oldest historically contributing neighborhood on the East Bench and encourages residents to find a common voice to preserve it using either Local Historic Districts or Conservation Districts. Urban Design Element (1990): The Urban Design Element includes statements that emphasize preserving the City’s image, neighborhood character and maintaining livability while being sensitive to social and economic realities. The Plan includes the following concepts: -Allow individual districts to develop in response to their unique characteristics within the overall urban design scheme for the City. - Ensure that land uses make a positive contribution to neighborhood improvements and stability. - Ensure that building restoration and new construction enhance district character. - Require private development efforts to be compatible with urban design policies of the city, regardless of whether city financial assistance is provided. - Treat building height, scale and character as significant features of a district’s image. - Ensure that features of building design such as color, detail, materials and scale are responsive to district character, neighboring buildings and the pedestrian. Salt Lake City Community Housing Plan (2000): Provide historic preservation education to developers and property owners, including information on technical and financial assistance and incentives. City Vision and Strategic Plan (1993) - Restore and adaptively reuse historic resources. - Develop programs to enhance and preserve the City’s cultural history and character as expressed in the built environment. - Offer strong economic incentives to stop housing unit deterioration. Together: Final Report of the Salt Lake City Futures Commission (1998) - Enforce preservation strategies for buildings and neighborhoods. - Rehabilitate historic buildings for cultural uses wherever possible. The proposed Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD is currently zoned under the Yalecrest Compatible Infill Overlay (YCIO) zoning ordinance adopted by the City in 20073. The purpose of the ordinance is to “encourage compatibility between new construction, Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD Page 27 of 34 additions or alterations and the existing character and scale of the surrounding neighborhood”. The YCIO regulates building height, minimum front yard size, and several aspects of garages or accessory structures, but does not protect against demolitions or out-of-mass, scale and architecture character of additions or new structures. The City's Preservation Policy was adopted in 20114. The Salt Lake City Community Preservation Plan was adopted Oct. 23, 2012. Yalecrest was suggested for protection in both plans. The proposed boundaries of Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD (Appendix A) represents the 1800 block of Yale Ave located in the north/south midsection between Sunnyside Ave and 1300 S and the Eastern most boundary (1900 East) of the Yalecrest, neighborhood, also known as the Upper Yale-3rd Addition subdivision. Yalecrest was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. Recognizing this resource and protecting it via a Local Historic District designation is consistent with the City's preservation goals. 2. Public Interest in the Proposed LHD Designation The Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD is the Upper Yale-3rd Addition subdivision. It is located in the midsection of Yalecrest neighborhood on the 1800-1900 block of Yale Ave. It contains 24 single-family property parcels with 1 duplex on Yale Ave at 1900 East Property parcels are zoned R1-7000. The attractive neighborhood of Yalecrest have mature street trees, single-family owner-occupied well-maintained houses with landscaped yards and continue to be a desirable residential area. No major roads have been built through the general Yalecrest neighborhood, although traffic has increased on the border streets of 1300 South, 1300 East and Sunnyside Ave (840 S). 6. Public interest in Proposed LHD Designation To date, 17/24 or 70.8% of the single-family and duplex home owners within the proposed area of Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD have signed an application petition in support of opening the process to create a Local History District. The overall support on the application is 70.8%, which greatly exceeds the minimum support of 33% required by the LHD designation ordinance guidelines. Property Owner Petition Signature to Open the Local Historic District Designation in Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD Street # Property Parcels # Petition Signaturesa % Support 1800-1900 E Yale Ave 24a 17 70.8% aone signature was collected on the application signature form for property parcels that have Joint tenants (JT) and the appropriate trustee signature for Trusts on associated property parcels. Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD Page 28 of 34 Designating the Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights as a Local Historic District (LHD) zoning overlay would minimize the frequent teardowns and demolitions (57 permit filings over the past 27 years) that have plagued the Yalecrest neighborhood in recent years. The 1800 block of Yale Ave is one of the last remaining intact “historically contributing” streets in this area of Yalecrest. The red backhoe icons represent demolitions of “historically contributing” houses and replacement with new, incompatible construction. Demolition Map of “Historically Contributing” houses in Yalecrest In addition, the recent Affordable Housing Overlay/Incentive (AHO) which allows demolition of historic houses for new multi-family housing installation within ¼ mile of high frequency bus transportation on 1300 East) has concerned this quiet street. Designation of Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD would maintain the historic character, mass and scale of the street face architecture by while providing homeowners and district residents the only legal method to minimize demolition and dismantling of intact historic structures that result in loss of neighborhood character. These services are not offered from Salt Lake City to the National Register of Historic Place designation, nor the local City Yalecrest Compatible Infill Overlay (YCIO) zoning ordinance. A Yalecrest-Upper Yale Heights LHD designation will also provide the citizens of Salt Lake City and the state of Utah with an additional protected heritage resource for future generations from which to learn and appreciate the cultural and City History of notable residents and fine, well-maintained, diverse architectural examples of English Cottage, English Tudor, English Tudor/Jacobethan Revival, Colonial Revival, Neoclassical, Dutch Colonial Revival and Minimal Traditional architectural styles. In addition, the area will teach future urban developers/builders the value and sustainability of smaller well-built homes with quality materials that have stood the test of time (85-95 yrs), the successful Keep Educating and Encouraging Preservation of Yalecrest Yalecrest National Historic District | Salt Lake City TEARDOWN MAP Teardowns, Pop-Tops and More This map tracks the rising trend of tear-downs and rebuilds in Yalecrest since 1998, and also includes some extreme or insensitive second- story additions (house icon) that raised the rooﬂine on the front facade and also may have removed privacy and sunlight from their neighbors, as well as destroyed the historic streetscape.

It will aid in the education of designing new successful neighborhoods that include such elements as sidewalks, green space, streetlights, mature shade trees and proximity to infrastructure necessities such as libraries, grocery stores, restaurants, schools, child care that encourage walkability and enhance safety from crime. These are the elements that have made Yalecrest a successful and highly desirable neighborhood. B.
