BUDGET IMPACT: None BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Issue Origin: This petition is a request that the City Council designate a new local historic district that includes 66 homes (68 properties) located on Laird Avenue from 1300 East to 1500 East including the homes on Laird Circle and Uintah Circle. The proposed Yalecrest – Laird Heights Local Historic District is located within the Yalecrest Neighborhood, which is generally located between 1300 East, and 1900 East, from 800 South/Sunnyside Avenue to 1300 South. The Yalecrest Neighborhood was designated as a National Register Historic District in 2007. rachel otto (Dec 6, 2023 09:48 MST)12/06/2023 12/06/2023 On February 1st, 2023, Kelly McAleer submitted a petition to designate a new local historic district within the Yalecrest neighborhood of the city. The application was submitted with approximately 66% of property owner’s signatures (representing a majority ownership interest in a given lot) in the proposed district, which exceeds the required 33% necessary to initiate a petition of this nature. As required by ordinance, a report regarding the proposed district was presented to the City Council on May 2, 2023, at which time the Council instructed Planning Staff to proceed with processing the request. Protection of Historic Resources: Although the homes within the proposed district have retained a high degree of architectural integrity, some property owners fear that the existing zoning and the National Register Designation of the Yalecrest Neighborhood do not provide sufficient protection of the historic architecture found in the proposed district. They are of the opinion that local historic district designation is the appropriate tool to ensure historic resource protection and management. In 2005, Salt Lake City created the Yalecrest Compatible Infill Overlay (YCI) district to establish standards for new construction, additions, and alterations of principal and accessory residential structures within the Yalecrest community. The goal is to encourage compatibility between new construction, additions, or alterations and the existing character and scale of the surrounding neighborhood. The standards allow for flexibility of design, while providing compatibility with existing development patterns within the Yalecrest community. Some property owners are concerned that the YCI does not include design standards that address appropriate exterior alterations in the context of maintaining the historic integrity or structures in the area. Adopted Policy: Several Salt Lake City policy documents generally support historic preservation efforts. The Community Preservation Plan (2012) and the East Bench Master Plan (2017) specifically address preservation and the protection of architectural and character defining features found in Yalecrest. The Community Preservation Plan (2012) places a high priority on providing additional regulations to control demolitions and teardowns within the Yalecrest neighborhood. Additionally, the East Bench Master Plan (2017) also acknowledges that the Yalecrest Neighborhood contains some of the oldest structures on the East Bench within Salt Lake City and encourages communities to pursue additional overlay zoning, if it is a desire of the community. Other adopted Salt Lake City documents contain policies that support historic preservation and can be found in: • Plan Salt Lake (2015) • Creating Tomorrow Together: Final Report of the Salt Lake City Futures Commission (1998) • City Vision and Strategic Plan (1993) • Salt Lake City Urban Design Element (1990) Updated Survey: In regards to the homes in the proposed Yalecrest – Laird Heights local historic district, the Yalecrest Reconnaissance Level Survey conducted in 2005, indicates that of the 66 structures, 63 are rated as contributing (95%). Planning Staff, along with State Historic Preservation Office Staff, re-evaluated the rating of all the homes in the proposed district. Since the last RLS was conducted in 2005, physical changes have occurred to several of the homes in the proposed district. Three properties changed from “contributing” to “noncontributing” as noted below. 1200 South 1500 East 2005 RLS Photo 2015 The Yalecrest 2005 Reconnaissance Level Survey rated this house as a “B”, contributing structure. The subject home has been significantly modified since 2005. Windows have been replaced and window openings have been modified on the front façade. Most significantly, the roof line has been altered with a large, highly visible, dormer on the south façade. This dormer meets the roof peak at its highest point as opposed to being constructed below the main roof line. Because of the changes, Planning, in consultation with SHPO Staff, recommends that this home receive a “C” rating, a non-contributing status. 1418 E. Laird Avenue 2005 RLS Photo 2015 The Yalecrest 2005 Reconnaissance Level Survey rated this house as a “B”, contributing structure. The subject home has been significantly modified since 2005 with the extension of the front porch roof across the entire front façade of the home. Because of the changes, Planning, in consultation with SHPO Staff, recommends that this home receive a “C” rating, a non- contributing status. 1451 E. Uintah Circle 2005 RLS Photo 2015 The original house at this address was demolished. While the new home is stylistically compatible with the neighborhood, it is in fact new construction and therefore is rated “Out of Period”, which is non-contributing. The H – Historic Preservation Overlay district that would be applied to the proposed district, if the local historic district were approved, would add an additional layer of regulation that requires design review for exterior alterations and imposes stringent regulations on demolition of contributing buildings. The Yalecrest neighborhood was designated to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. Being listed on the National Register is an honorary designation that provides property owners with the ability to seek state and/or federal tax credits for appropriate repairs or restoration work on contributing buildings. The National Register designation provides incentives for appropriate alterations but provides no protection from demolition or additions that may not be compatible with the historic character of the area. Commission Recommendations: The Historic Landmark Commission reviewed this application on September 7, 2023, and found that it meets the local historic district designation criteria, and voted unanimously to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council to designate Yalecrest – Laird Heights as a local historic district. The Planning Commission considered this application on September 13, 2023, and found that the proposed Zoning Map Amendment to add the Historic Preservation Overlay district to this area does not meet the general zoning amendment criteria, and therefore voted (5-4) to forward a negative recommendation to the City Council to designate Yalecrest – Laird Heights as a local historic district. The Planning Commission’s rationale for the negative recommendation were based on the findings that the proposed district did not meet the policies/goals found in the following adopted City documents: • Chapters 3-5 of Plan Salt Lake (2015) addressing Housing, Transportation & Mobility, and Air Quality. • Housing SLC • Thriving in Place Property Owner Opinion Ballot Results: On October 13, 2023, the Property Owners Opinion Ballot (Support Survey) was mailed to property owners within the proposed local historic district. Property owners were given thirty days to submit a ballot indicating whether they support or oppose the designation of the Yalecrest – Laird Heights Local Historic District. On November 20, 2023, the City Recorder issued the Official Canvass of the Property Owner Opinion Ballot, which contained the following results: Ballots in Support…………………………….…49 Ballots Opposed……………….………………...9 Did not Vote……………………………………..10 Undeliverable or Did Not Receive……………....0 Returned After Due Date………………………...0 Total Ballots Returned………………………......58 of 68 Since the Property Owner Opinion Ballots returned equals at least two-thirds (2/3) of the total number of returned property owner support ballots, and represents more than fifty percent (50%) of the parcels within the proposed local historic district, the City Council may designate a local historic district by a simple majority vote. It is noted that the City Council is not bound by the results of the Property Owner Opinion Ballot. PUBLIC PROCESS: • Initial Notification of Affected Property Owners: Section 21A.34.020(C)(4) requires Staff to notify affected property owners by sending a neutral informational pamphlet to each property affected by the potential application. The informational pamphlet was mailed to property owners within the proposed district on January 5, 2023. The informational pamphlet contained a description of the process to create a local historic district, as well as a list of the pros and cons of a local historic district. The pamphlet was mailed after the applicant submitted and finalized the proposed boundary for the Yalecrest – Laird Heights Local Historic District. • Application Notification to Affected Property Owners: The application was submitted on February 1, 2023, and the subsequent Notice of Designation Application Letter was mailed to affected property owners within the proposed Yalecrest – Laird Height Local Historic District on February 9, 2023. Property owners were sent the notice of application and “Local Historic District Pros and Cons” informational letter indicating that the Planning Division had received an application, including the required number of signatures to initiate the designation, of a new local historic district. • Planning Director Report to the City Council: Staff prepared and transmitted the Planning Director Report to the City Council. The Planning Director Report included the requirements found in 21A.32.020(C)(7)(A-F). The City Council adopted the Planning Director Report on May 2, 2023, instructing Planning Staff to move forward with the proposal. • Property Owner Meeting: On June 20, 2023, the Planning Division met with owners of property located within the proposed boundaries of the Yalecrest – Laird Heights Local Historic District. The purpose of the meeting was to inform the property owners about the designation process and to discuss how local historic district designation would impact the property owners. The meeting included discussions regarding the process for obtaining a Certificate of Appropriateness, the adopted historic preservation standards and design guidelines. There was also a discussion on common over-the-counter approvals and the process of applying for approval. Approximately 16 property owners attended this meeting. • Open House: On June 29, 2023, the Planning Division established an on-line Open House to solicit public comment regarding the proposed designation. All property owners and residents within 300 feet of the proposed local historic district, as well as those individuals on the Planning Division e-mail listserve were notified of the open house. An email was also sent out to the Yalecrest Neighborhood Council, East Liberty Park Community Organization, Wasatch Hollow Community Council, and KEEPYalecrest with notification of the on-line open house. • Historic Landmark Commission Meeting: On September 7, 2023, the Historic Landmark Commission held a public hearing regarding the proposed Yalecrest – Laird Heights Local Historic District. Following the public hearing, the Historic Landmark Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance to create the proposed local historic district. The agenda, minutes, and staff report of the September 7, 2023, Historic Landmark Commission meeting are bookmarked below for reference. • Planning Commission Meeting: On September 13, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed Zoning Map Amendment, which would add the H – Historic Preservation Overlay zoning district to the properties within the proposed local historic district. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted (5-4) to forward a negative recommendation to the City Council regarding the designation of the proposed local historic district. The agenda, minutes, and staff report of the September 13, 2023, Planning Commission meeting are bookmarked below for reference. • Property Owner Opinion Ballot: On October 13, 2023, the Property Owners Opinion Ballot (Support Survey) was mailed to property owners within the proposed local historic district. Property owners were given thirty days to submit a ballot indicating whether they support or oppose the designation of the Yalecrest – Laird Heights Local Historic District.

Project Description 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. The 1920s were a period of tremendous growth in Yalecrest with 22 subdivisions platted by a variety of developers from 1911 to 1938. The Bowers Investment Company, a branch of the Bowers Building Company, filed the subdivision papers for Normandie Heights in 1926 with 140 lots, and its houses were built primarily from 1926-35. It is distinctive because of its picturesque rolling topography with landscaped serpentine streets, regular promotions, prominent homeowners, deep setbacks, and large irregularly shaped lots. In August 1928, the Uintah Heights Addition located in Block 30 of the 5 - Acre Plat C of the Big Field Survey of 1848 and consists of 35 lots. The area was developed by Uintah Realty Co. and other builders and houses were constructed primarily in the late 1920s and early 1930s, many by Herrick Bros. and the Gaddis Investment Company. N.L. Herrick was a partner in the Gaddis Investment Co mpany as well as an individual builder. Herrick and Company provided both design and construction services. The Gaddis Investment Company was founded in 1922 to deal in real estate, investments and insurance. Both of its partners lived in Yalecrest; N.L. Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD Page 4 of 34 Herrick at 1603 Harvard Avenue and Thomas E. Gaddis at 1465 Laird Avenue in a French Norman house built in 1929. Thomas Gaddis was involved in real estate and investments in Salt Lake City from 1909 to his death in 1967. The initial street names of Princeton, Laird and Harvard Aves were Kelsey, Edith, and Hampton, respectively. View of Laird Ave 1933 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-Laird Heights LHD specifically, avoided the blight common in many urban residential neighborhoods during this era. Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD Page 5 of 34 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. While there are 51 original duplexes in the Yalecrest neighborhood, there are 4 in the proposed Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD. The original Uintah Elementary School located on 1300 S (outside the proposed Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD boundaries) was demolished and replaced by a new structure in 1993. 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 and replaced with out-of-size, mass and architectural incompatibility. The currently proposed SLC “Affordable Housing Incentive” (AHI) City (2022) aims to increase multifamily housing within ¼ mile of high frequency (every 15 minutes) transportation corridors. UTA has recently changed the frequency of bus route #220 on 1300 E to a 15-minute frequency. All 1300-1500 Blocks of Yalecrest are impacted by this zoning overlay. The AHI zoning overlay allows demolition of single -family housing to create this new multifamily hou sing construction thus making historic single-family houses in the proposed Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD endangered to demolition. The listing of Yalecrest on the National Register of Historic Places does not protect against this local zoning. This application seeking a Local Historic District designation is the only current legal option to minimize demolition of historic single -family houses in this established, mature and historic neighborhood. The proposed Yalecrest-Laird Heights Local Historic District (LHD) is located on Block 30 and encompasses the following properties; 6 properties on the west side of 1500 East (1174, 1180, 1184, 1188, 1194, and 1200 S 1500 East) between the proposed Princeton Heights LHD and the current proposed Laird Heights LHD as the East boundary, Four properties on the East side of 1300 East (1185-1227 S 1300 East) represent the West Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD Page 6 of 34 boundary and all Laird Ave properties on the north and south sides of Laird Ave street face from 1305-1480 E Laird as the North and South boundaries, respectively. Both the Laird Circle and Uintah Circles are located within the North side of Laird Ave. (see APPENDIX A). Thus, 61 single- family houses and 4 duplex houses are contained within the 65 property parcels proposed Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD. The name “Laird Ave first appears in 1908 in the Polk directory and is associated with development of Laird Ave near 900 and 1000 East by Edward Laird (1852 -1925), who migrated at the age of 4 into Utah as part of the infamous Willie Handcart Company of 1856. As an adult he homesteaded in Mountain Dell of Parley’s Canyon. After selling water rights to Salt Lake City in 1900, he relocated to Salt Lake City bought a lot of land and developed a number of lumber and real estate and development companies in Salt Lake City (see Significant persons in the area section below). Physical Integrity of Houses in the Area There is a very high degree of retained historic integrity in the proposed Yalecrest -Laird 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-Laird Heights LHD area contains houses constructed over the time period from 1923 (1480 E Laird Ave) and extending through 1950 (1185 S 1300 East) in the historic era. All of the houses in the proposed Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD were contributing in 2005 (100%), either /significant and eligible contributing (100.0%): 60.0% (39/65) were considered eligible and significant (A) and 40.0% (26/65) were considered eligible and contributing (B). Only one house, since 2005, has been demolished with new construction replacement, (1451 E Uintah Circle). The contributory status of other properties in Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD may have changed since the last assessment in 2005. Houses that may no longer have contributory status are listed in APPENDIX C. Commercial Properties There are no commercial properties in the proposed Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD. Developers, Builders and Architects The original name for Laird Ave was actually Edith Ave . “Laird Ave first appears in the 1908 Polk directory and is associated with development of that street later in Normandie Heights subdivision (see Significant persons in the area section below). Normandie Heights subdivision was platted for 140 properties in 1926 by the Bowers Investment Co. Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD Page 7 of 34 Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD contains 65 property parcels of the 140 platted parcels in the greater Normandie Height subdivision.

Significant Persons in the Area The Naming of Laird Ave The name “Laird Ave first appears in 1908 in the Polk directory and is associated with development of Laird Ave near 900 and 1000 East by Edward Laird (1852 -1925), who migrated at the age of 4 into Utah as part of the infamous Willie Handcart Company of 1856. As an adult he homesteaded in Mountain Dell of Parley’s Canyon. After selling water rights to Salt Lake City in 1900, he relocated to Salt Lake City bought a lot of land and developed a number of lumber and real estate and development companies in Salt Lake City. Originally, Laird Ave was listed as Edith Ave. Land records and personal history accounts lend credence to Edward Laird (1852 -1925) as the source of the current street name, Laird Avenue. According to the local paper, he was involved in a numb er of real estate transfers in 1907 and 1908 in a subdivision named, “Laird”. Those lots were located at what is Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD Page 9 of 34 now Laird Avenue between 9th and 10th East. All these land transfers occurred immediately before the street named "Laird Avenue" first appeared in the city directory in 1908. Therefore, there is credence that the street was named after Edward Laird. A relative, William Naylor, was likely also invested in that land, as the name of one of the dead-end courts that runs north off of 13th South just east of 9th East is named "Naylor Court." Edward Laird was born in Scotland in 1852 and died in Salt Lake in 1925. Edward was a child of four when his family immigrated as handcart pioneers in the infamous Willie Handcart Company of 1856 where more than a hundred of the pioneers perished in frigid Wyoming. Edward Laird's family however arrived unscathed. Living first in Spanish Fork, then Heber City, Edward grew up accustomed to hard work on his father's farm but never attended school. While camping in Park City, Edward found some silver ore. Edward and his brother had their camp ground assayed and sold their claim (which is now Silver King) for $1500. With this money, Edward purchased land in Parley’s Canyon (now Mountain Dell), began raising sheep and hauling silver ore from Park City to Salt Lake. A little farther down the canyon was the Hardy Station, a halfway house run by the Hardy family. It was in the Hardy home that Edward met Valeria Ann Flint. When grown, Laird homesteaded land in Parley's Canyon at Mountain Dell and became a successful sheep farmer. He owned water rights of Parley's Canyon Creek and sold some of them to Salt Lake City in 1900 during a severe water drought. Thereafter, he relocated to Salt Lake City and started buying real estate in Salt Lake City. He bought a property near 1st South and 5th West and eventually started Rio Grande Lumber Company there. He also had ownership in Sugarhouse Lumber Company, which was located on 21st South near 12th East. Later, he joined with Misters Ashton and Jenkins of the Ashton-Jenkins Company, who developed much of Yalecrest. He later became a vice-president of the Ashton- Jenkins Company. The family moved to 840 East Twelfth South (later becoming 840 East 2100 South), after selling their property in Mountain Dell in Parley’s Canyon. He and his wife, Valeria Ann Flint Laird had eight children, five daughters and three sons. The sons continued with the sheep farming part of the family business and moved to Dubois, Idaho. Edward also owned much of the block around his house and that's why there are other family members showing in the Polk directories living at the other addresses, 817 and 820 East Twelfth South.

Back row left is Fidella Laird Snelgrove, wife of Charles Rich Snelgrove Laird and Snelgrove Families Edward's youngest daughter, Fidella married Charles Rich Snelgrove, who in 1929 created Snelgrove's Ice Cream Company. After the deaths of Edward and Valeria in 1925 and 1930 respectively, Charles and Fidella lived in his parents’ house at 840 E. 1200 South (changed later to 840 E 2100 South) in Sugarhouse. The year before Valeria died, she allowed Charles and Fidella to open their ice cream business up the street at one of their properties at 1055 E. 2100 South. Eventually, sometime after 1940, the houses at 820 and 840 E. 2100 South were razed to make room for the Snelgrove factory and main store with the iconic giant spinning ice-cream cone sign at 850 E. 2100 South. The oldest son of Charles Rich Snelgrove (husband to Fidella Laird, the youngest daughter of Edward Laird) was Charles Laird Snelgrove. He worked with his father and later ultimately took over ownership and expanded the business throughout Salt Lake City (compiled by Kim Childs, KEEPYalecrest) Distinctive Characteristics of the Type/Period/Method Of Construction Houses within the proposed Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD are primarily English Cottages (50.8%) and English Tudors (14.4%) constructed mainly in brick; either striated (50.8%) or regular (30.8%) over the time period 1920-30. These houses contain unique exterior and interior architectural attributes built by notable City builders and serve as outstanding historical examples of great domiciles for future generations. Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD Page 11 of 34 Importance to Salt Lake City History Yalecrest and specifically the proposed Laird Heights LHD contains many fine example s of English Cottages and English Tudors (Historically, Yalecrest has been home to many professional residents who have shaped the city’s development and economic base. There has been a diversity of professional occupations amongst past and current property owners in Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD; business persons, lawyers, physicians, and builders. A number of notable professional people lived in Yalecrest-Laird Heights, who advanced the economic base of Salt Lake City. Those individuals are listed as a function of the street address at which they reside in the Notable Persons section below. 2. Physical Integrity The proposed Laird Height LHD is located on the southwest side of the greater Yalecrest neighborhood on a mature tree-line rolling hill. It contains notable examples of English Cottages English Tudors, Spanish Colonial Revival and Colonial Revival archite cture by many famous builders in 1920-30’s of Salt Lake City. Contributing Status of houses in Yalecrest-Laird Heights The proposed Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD retains a very high degree of historic and physical integrity. The vast majority of houses (%) are eligible/significant (39/65= 60%) and eligible contributing (26/65= 40%)1. There were no “C” nor D”’ structures in Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD boundaries listed in the 2005 Reconnaissance Level Survey. To our knowledge, 1 house in the Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD was demolished with new construction replacement, 1451 E Uintah Circle. Two other houses may have been altered sufficiently becoming noncontributing (1453 and 1455 E Uintah Circle). The number of contributing and noncontributing houses and their eligibility status on each street in the Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD is tabulated below.

Yalecrest -Laird Heights LHD contains 65 of those 104 parcels. The number of currently (2023) eligible significant (A) plus eligible contributing structures (B) may have changed due to remodeling projects that alter the street face including; windows, porches, dormers, stories, roofing materials and/or exterior materials. The number of contributing structures in 2023 remain to be verified by the City Planning Department / Preservation Office and Historic Landmarks Commission. It is interesting to note that Yalecrest in general, and Normandie Heights subdivision in particular, attracts home buyers that stay in residence for extended periods of time. Many property owners have lived in the same residence for more than 20 years. This continuity lends consistency, character and stewardship to the area. The mature (75 yr old) and Ash, Elm, Sycamore, Norwegian Maple and other newer specie tree-lined streets with streetlights provide shade, shelter and safety in the neighborhood. Driving access to major interstates I-15 and I-80, and walkability to integrated infrastructure necessary for successful residential living: commercial neighborhood zoning districts (grocery, pharmacy, restaurants, library and public parks and schools) and contributes to making Yalecrest in general, and Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD specifically, one of the safest neighborhoods and most sought real estate property in Salt Lake City. Houses are well-maintained, and appropriately updated for modern living, while maintaining their original architectural charm. Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD Page 13 of 34 Building dates Houses in the proposed Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD were built from 1919 through 1953 in the current historic era. The majority of single-family residences in Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD according to the Salt Lake County Assessor website were built in the late 1920’s (67.4%) and 1930’s (25.6%).

An Intensive Level Survey was completed of Yalecrest by Beatrice Lufkin, of the Utah State Historic Office (SHPO) in 2005. Exterior and interior photographs, a title search, genealogical and other information are on file at the Utah State Preservation Of fice. Notable Houses and Their Owners in Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD (from The State Historic Preservation Office files) 1227-1229 S 1300 East (16-09-483-003) This masonry/stucco Spanish Colonial Revival house built in 1930 is considered architecturally significant example of Spanish Colonial Revival style in the form of a duplex. It was originally owned by William O Carbis. William O Carbis was president of K & A Heating. After his death in 1938, his son Wayne inherited the property. I t is a 1 ½ story stucco house with a T-shaped form with a gable roof with a single ridge parallel to the street.

Half-timbering is repeated in the gable dormer directly above a shed dormer entry. 1328 E Laird Ave (16-09-354-001) This masonry English Cottage was built in 1926 for the first owned by Milton and Florence Beckman. Milton Beckman practiced with the law firm GH Backman & sons. The Backman’s resided here through 1936. After renting the house out in 1937, the Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD Page 17 of 34 Beckmans sold it later to Leslie Kidman, a county supervisor, who lived here through the end of the historic period. This “T-shaped” 1 ½ story house has a pent gable end to the street. The right side of the pent gable roof extends down and out to include the off- center door framed by a round brick area. A Palladian window pierces the upper wall surface of the pent gable. 1361 E Laird Ave (16-09-353-033) This French Norman house was designed and built on speculation by architect/builder J A Shaffer in 1927-8.

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: Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD Page 23 of 34 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 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 Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD Page 24 of 34 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 –Laird Height 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 - New structures that are not compatible with the design of surrounding homes. In the1987 East Bench Master Plan, Yalecrest 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 histo ric 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 Con servation Districts. Urban Design Element (1990): The Urban Design Element includes statements that emphasize preserving the City’s image, neighborhood character and mai ntaining 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 pol icies 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 scal e are responsive to district character, neighboring buildings and the pedestrian. Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD Page 25 of 34 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 where ver possible. The proposed Yalecrest-Laird 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, 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 2011 4. 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-Laird Heights LHD (Appendix A) represents the South East corner in Normandie Heights subdivision and the greater Yalecrest neighborhood that is nationally recognized for its historic value (National Register of Historic Places 2007). Recognizing this resource and protecting it via a Local Historic District designation i s consistent with the City's preservation goals. 6. Public Interest in the Proposed LHD Designation The Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD is part of the large Normandie subdivision. It is located in the South East corner of Yalecrest neighborhood. It contains 43 single-family property parcels generally 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). Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD Page 26 of 34 To date, 44/65 or 67.7% of the single-family and duplex home owners within the proposed area of Yalecrest-Laird 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 67.7%, which greatly exceeds the minimum support of 33% required by the LHD designation ordinance guidelines.

Designating the Yalecrest-Laird Heights as Local Historic District (LHD) zoning overlay would minimize the frequent teardowns and demolitions (56 permit filings over the past 27 years) that have plagued Yalecrest in recent years. 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-Laird 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-Laird 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, and French Norman, Spanish Colonial architectural styles. In addition, Yalecrest-Laird Heights LHD Page 27 of 34 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 (100 yrs), the successful layout design of new neighborhoods that include different housing options for singles, empty-nesters, couples and families that include both small and medium sized single family and multi-family duplexes at various prices. 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.

The original photographs were downloaded from the Salt Lake County Tax Assessor site. Current photographs were collected by the street property owners, residing on Laird Ave and Uintah Circle, using an iPhone camera. C. Research Material The Reconnaissance Level Survey was completed by Salt Lake City in 2005 in preparation for the Yalecrest National Register of Historic Places designation, which was awarded in 2007.

ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENT (RECEIVED AFTER STAFF REPORT PUBLICATION) From:Katharine Biele To:Traughber, Lex Subject:(EXTERNAL) Laird Heights Date:Tuesday, September 5, 2023 4:50:10 PM Caution: This is an external email. Please be cautious when clicking links or opening attachments. Mr. Traughber, I am writing to express total support for the Laird Heights local historic district. I currently reside in the Normandie Heights district, whose approval process was both exhaustive and instructive. We have been happy with the results, and continue to support LHDs. Salt Lake City's process is quite flexible and allows homeowners to renovate and upgrade their existing properties, while retaining the historic nature of the neighborhoods. If I may add to my support, I just received a notice of the proposed Yalecrest-Princeton Heights LHD. I am fully supportive and believe these approvals will help prevent further tear-downs of historic structures. Thank you for your time. -- Katharine Biele Planning Commission Laird Heights LHD September 13, 2023 Commissioners: The planning staff recommends that this Commission approve the Laird Heights Local Historic District. I also urge your approval. These homes – the majority from the 1920s and 30s -- have stood the test of �me and represent rare architectural styles. They are beau�ful, well-kept, with structural integrity and exquisite workmanship. Approval of the Laird Heights LHD applica�on will give future genera�ons an apprecia�on of Salt Lake’s cultural past. Sustainability is today’s new buzzword. Nothing speaks to that beter than the historic homes of Laird Heights. This LHD request comes with urgency. More demoli�ons have occurred in Yalecrest than any other established neighborhood in the state of Utah – 56 in the last 27 years. So much of our historical heritage is being lost. We need protec�ve measures. One last important point. This is truly a grass roots effort. The residents and homeowners in Laird Heights want to live in a local historic district. The applica�on was originally submited at the end of 2022 and had to go through an arduous 12-step process with: • pre-submital mee�ngs • a no�ce to property owners • the submission of a formal applica�on • a signature gathering threshold • a review by the planning division • another no�ce to property owners • property owner mee�ngs and open houses • Commission mee�ngs and approval • a final vote by residents and homeowners before it finally reaches the City Council. At every step along the way, homeowners have been suppor�ve. This is the essence of the democra�c process. I ask you to honor their opinions. Thank you.

From:Jonathan McGregor To:Traughber, Lex Subject:(EXTERNAL) Yalecrest-Laird Heights historical district proposal Date:Friday, September 8, 2023 7:43:27 AM Hello Lex, I hope this Email finds you well. I've been following the proposal to expand the Yalecrest since late June, and feel compelled to share my opinion. I believe expanding the historical district would ultimately do more harm than good to the wellbeing of Salt Lake City. Page 5 of the original proposal cites the recent "Affordable Housing Incentives" as one of the neighborhood's reasons for expanding the LHD. This proposal is what I believe to be more of a reactionary action than that of a preservative one. The AHI would only be beneficial, especially in the Yalecrest area. Providing more affordable housing in the area would not only have the obvious benefit of making more homes available to the members of our community who need it most, it would also bring greater wealth and opportunity to the neighborhood of 9th & 9th, which sits adjacent to Yalecrest. A larger LHD only serves to bar people of varied incomes from living in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods, and artificially protect or raise property values of Yalecrest residents. In a rapidly expanding city, it's unfair to reap the benefits of urban living while trying to deny those same benefits to those who need them most. While I cannot deny the importance of preserving historically significant buildings, I also cannot deny the importance of providing housing in greater quantities to those in need. Thank you for your time, Jonathan McGregor From:LYNN Pershing To:Planning Public Comments Subject:(EXTERNAL) Support for PLNHLC2023-00074 Laird Heights LHD Date:Tuesday, September 12, 2023 8:16:30 PM Caution: This is an external email.

Real estate agents refers to this area as “Lovely Laird” for good reason. Exquisite, well-maintained, historic contributing houses (95%) of unique architecture, amidst towering 80+ yr old street lined mature trees. There is remarkable support among the property owners of this area, 66%+ signed the initiation petition which only requires 33% Original Property owners included entertainment, politicians, builders, attorneys, and many other commercial businesses. They were the builders of our great City and influenced the broader economy of the Intermountain West I strongly support the designation of Laird Heights as a Local Historic District Lynn K Pershing Yalecrest 84108 Sent from my iPhone 6.
