Board of County Commissioners - Staff Report

Matters from Staff Agenda Item #

Meeting Date: December 19, 2017 Presenter: Keith Gingery Submitting Dept: Administration Subject: FY 2017 Certified Local Government Annual Report

Statement / Purpose: Review and approval of the Teton County Historic Preservation Board Annual Report for FY 2017.

Background / Description (Pros & Cons): The attached Certified Local Government (CLG) annual report meets the Teton County Historic Preservation Board’s (TCHPB) annual report requirement necessary to maintain our CLG status. A CLG is a city of county that is certified by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the National Park Service (NPS) as a community with historic preservation commitments. CLGs are eligible for matching grants to carry out preservation activities. The Teton County Historic Preservation Board is currently wrapping up a grant received through this program to document historic properties in Teton County. There are currently 24 CLGs in Wyoming, and close to 2,000 in the United States.

The CLG annual report is filed each year with the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office. The report meets the CLG annual reporting requirements stated in the Teton County Historic Preservation Board Resolution, Section 3(I), which states that, “an annual report of the actives of the Board shall be submitted to the Teton County Commissioners and the SHPO. Such reports shall include but are not limited to items such as: proposed National Register nominations, updated resumes of Board members, appointments to the Board, meeting attendance records, progress reports on survey activities, National Register nominations reviewed, and problem areas.”

The Wyoming SHPO supplies the CLG annual report form and requirements. The 2017 annual report includes an activities checklist, Board contact information, copies of meeting minutes, a copy of the CLG Annual Report (submitted separately via email), introductions to new board members, signatures from new board members stating their review of the CLG program guidelines and TCHPB bylaws, and a brief statement of the preservation boards greatest accomplishments and challenges of 2017.

Stakeholder Analysis & Involvement: NA

Fiscal Impact: There are no costs associated with this item, though filing the report is a requirement of the CLG program and makes us eligible for CLG grants.

Staff Impact: Filing the report will have no impact on staff resources.

Legal Review: K. Gingery attended the November TCHPB meeting and is aware that we are required to submit these reports to the State Historic Preservation Office annually. He has not reviewed this particular report.

Staff Input / Recommendation:

Attachments: See attached annual report.

Suggested Motion: I move to approve the CLG Annual Report for submission to the State Historic Preservation Office.

What was your commission’s greatest accomplishment during the fiscal year?

We had several notable accomplishments, including surveying fourteen more historic properties, recommending and being granted stays on two historic properties proposed for demolition, and increasing our local visibility. We’ve built stronger relationships with the Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum, met with Teton County Parks and Rec regarding the possibility of adaptive reuse of historic structures on parks and rec properties, and have begun collaborating with the local housing authority on how to incentivize the rehabilitation of historic outbuildings as accessory residential units. We hosted our biannual Plaques and Awards ceremony, recognizing five local citizens for their preservation efforts and presenting the Alpenhof Lodge and Hardeman Barns/Teton Raptor Center with bronze plaques. We have also met with several property owners who have rehabilitated historic properties to better understand the challenges they faced during the process and how the Teton County Historic Preservation Board can help address or alleviate some of these challenges. Finally, we participated as a consulting party in the successful development of the Bar BC MOA with Grand Teton National Park.

Last year we reported that our biggest challenge was getting in front of our local elected officials. This year, we feel our biggest accomplishment has been our improvements in this area and the results of increased visibility with our elected officials. Specifically, as a result of our efforts, the exploration of preservation incentives is now on the planning staffs agenda, and we have had many productive meetings with the planning staff on how to approach preservation incentives and how to mitigate and avoid zoning regulations that unintentionally may incentivize the demolition of our historic fabric. In addition, language has been included in the recently revamped zoning that allows non-conforming properties deemed historic by the Teton County Historic Preservation Board more lenience when meeting certain compliance requirements. We hope to continue to work closely with our town and county planning staff and elected officials in the upcoming year.

What was your commission’s biggest challenge during the fiscal year?

Our biggest challenge is the economy. Without preservation incentives or regulations in place to stop or slow demolition, we are seeing an increase in the demolition of historic properties. Thus far those demolitions have been mainly limited to residential properties with minimal community attachment, but we are concerned that we are going to start seeing the demolition of recognizable commercial properties with strong community attachment. We fear the demolition of properties like the Van Vleck House (Café Genevieve’s) or the Coe House (Sweetwater Restaurant) will occur before we have time to get incentives in place to help discourage their demolition.

We are also still working against many misconstrued impressions of historic designation. The misinformed view that historic designation—such as National Register nomination---restricts private property rights is perpetuated not only among Teton County citizens, but by town and county employees as well. We continue to work to correct this impression and assure people it is an honorary designation.

How can SHPO better serve your commission?

We would be best served by in-person visits for board training on topics from CLG basics to Section 106 responsibilities. While the webinar trainings are excellent, the benefits don’t rival what can be accomplished in-person. In-person visits also allow us to more deeply explore and explain our current projects, challenges and highlight newly nominated resources.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND MINUTES: The agenda was approved with modification, moved by Wonson and seconded by Zelnio. The September minutes were approved as presented, moved by Engle and seconded by Smith.

Members of the public, Terry and Claudia Winchell, were in attendance.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Terry Winchell spoke to the board regarding his demolition of garage and cabin at 15 E. Kelly St. and the subsequent reconfiguration of the structures using the original logs. Winchell also reported on his experience with permitting for historic preservation and the obstacles historic property owners face in terms of zoning and code when attempting to preserve, reconfigure, and move historic buildings.

Board discussion followed Winchell’s report. Zelnio commented that 15 E. Kelly could be used as a case study in an effort to document the issues faced by historic property owners for presentation to the Town/County. Wonson cited the 1980s town planning document that put forth ‘western guidelines’ for the preservation/rehabilitation of historic buildings. Dubbe offered technical assistance.

ADMIN REPORT: Admin informed the board that the Alpenhof Lodge was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Admin reported that Sandra Murphy from St. John’s Medical Center had contacted the Board regarding historic cabins currently used for patient recovery lodging. Murphy anticipates the demolition of these cabins as the hospital feels they can no longer serve the needs of patients. Admin thanked Murphy for reaching out and urged her to speak with the board to potentially find a solution for updating the cabins while preserving their historic integrity.

Admin informed the board that Patricia McCoy called to express her anxiety over Koral’s approach to asking permission to photograph her property. McCoy was also concerned about the validity of Koral’s information regarding the history of her property. Admin spoke with McCoy and assured her that the board would respect her wishes to have her property taken out of the survey.

Administration & Partnerships: Letter to Mayor/Town Council re: Workshop on Historic Preservation- Wonson informed the board that she had not heard back from the town regarding the letter. The goal is to get on the agendas for both the County and Town. Councilwoman Macker is receptive to historic preservation; this is an issue that the board should press during this election season.

4 MINUTES TETON COUNTY HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEETING TETON COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 200 S. WILLOW STREET IN JACKSON, WYOMING February 14, 2017

CALL TO ORDER Wonson called the meeting to order in the Commissioner’s Meeting Room of the Teton County Administration Building at 7:07 p.m.

PRESENT WERE: Katherine Wonson, President; Bob Zelnio, Vice President; Cheryl Katz, Treasurer; Betsy Engle, Secretary; Shawn Ankeny, board member; J.P. Schubert, Advisor; Erin Gibbs, Admin.

Members of the public, Ragan Jolly and Alex Freeburg of 125 W. Hansen, and Esther and Philip Judge, were in attendance.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND MINUTES: The agenda was approved as presented, moved by Zelnio and seconded by Engle. The January minutes were approved as presented, moved by Zelnio and seconded by Engle.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Ragan Jolly and Alex Freeburg were in attendance to offer comment regarding the 90-day demolition stay request for their structure at 125 W. Hansen, passed by the board during the board’s January meeting. Esther and Philip Judge, the party interested in moving the structure at 125 W. Hansen, were also in attendance to offer comment on the stay.

Wonson opened the public comment period by summarizing the events leading up to February meeting, including the passage of the 90 day stay request by the board that was submitted to the town for review and subsequently passed back to the board for comment after the town council meeting on February 6. Wonson stated that the original request was issued in order to give the Judges time to relocate the structures since a move date had not been set.

Ragan Jolly was the first to address the board. Jolly asked the board to lift the stay request immediately due to the fact that she and her husband have the same goals as the board for moving and preserving the building, and have no plans to demolish the structure before March 15, 2017. Jolly also spoke to the history of correspondence with the board, stating that the planning process for moving the building began in September of 2016 and that this process has been faithfully overseen by her and her husband since that time.

Esther Judge addressed the board to express her support for the private collaboration between herself and Ragan Jolly and Alex Freeburg. Judge stated that she is committed to moving the structure to her property and has supplied the necessary information to all parties who will be involved in the process. At the time of the meeting, the party hired to move the structure has not been able to provide a date for executing the move. Judge noted that she was working with the mover to establish a date in writing.

Alex Freeburg asked if he would be allowed to speak regarding the demolition stay request and was given the floor. Freeburg stated that he did not seek a compromise and that the 90-day stay

1 request should be lifted immediately. Freeburg specified that he is an attorney and presented four points as arguments against the 90-day stay request. The 90-day stay request should be withdrawn on the grounds that: 1. Freeburg and Jolly were told in an email by board member Engle in September of 2016 that if they worked with the preservation board, there would be no demolition stay request submitted; 2. The stay request itself was not issued properly as the municipal code states that the property must be historically significant, yet at the county meeting on February 6, board member Ankeny stated that the structure was ‘ubiquitous in Jackson,’ indicating it is not historically significant; 3. The reason for passing the demolition stay request was done based on the structure’s movability, which is not considered a legal term and he questioned how this aspect could be defined; 4. The structure is not listed on the county’s website as one of the structures listed as historically significant.

Freeburg told the board that his main issue with the stay was the encumbrance it posed to his property. Freeburg ended his comment stating that he believes it would have been better if he and Jolly had not worked with the preservation board.

Board president Wonson responded to Freeburg’s points one by one. Wonson stated that first, Engle was not speaking on a board decision during her private email correspondence with Jolly. Furthermore, as the correspondence did not take place within a public meeting, the email cannot be considered representative of official Teton County Historic Preservation Board policy; for such an agreement to be entered into, a vote during a public hearing would have to take place. Freeburg responded that this point could be addressed in court.

Wonson stated that second, the structure located at 125 W. Hansen was once ubiquitous as a building type in Jackson, but is now rare as there are few surviving examples. Wonson apologized if Ankeny was not clear at the town meeting February 6. Wonson further stated that the board includes multiple professional architectural historians and historical architects who used their expertise in these fields to determine that the structure is historically significant.

Wonson addressed Freeburg’s third point and stated that the board’s protocol for determining if a historic property is worth requesting a stay is based on several aspects, of which movability is one; the other aspects include things like significance and integrity.1 Because the building met several of the other criteria, the issue of movability is unsubstantial. Wonson also stated that while the board is unfamiliar with an official threshold for determining which structures are able to be moved, a 479 square-foot-building qualifies as movable, based on the board’s experiences with moving historic properties in Teton County.

Wonson spoke to Freeburg’s fourth point and stated that the list of historically significant properties listed on the county’s website is not exhaustive and is not meant to be exhaustive.

Wonson further explained that the board’s ability to recommend a 90-day demolition stay is the only regulatory tool at its disposal, granted to the board by the town of Jackson. Wonson stated that the board has the power to lift the stay at any time once a date for moving the cabin is established, suggesting the board would lift the stay the day before the move was to take place.

1 The full list of aspects that determine if a stay is warranted are Significance; Integrity; Condition; Age; Community Attachment; Movability; and Timing.

Discussion followed public comment. Freeburg stated that he did not believe that he and the board were going to come to an agreement, as a motion to lift the stay the day before a proposed move was not satisfactory. He stated his preference for a firm date.

The board acknowledged the owners’ efforts to work with the board early, suggesting that should the Judges’ efforts to move the cabin were to fall through, the board would not pursue additional movers given the time frame.

Discussion time was also dedicated to Preservation as a step in the planning process, similar to applying for a demolition permit. The board explained that compliance, including compliance vis a vis preservation, is part of property ownership. The board offered similar examples of complying with night skies requirements, wildlife ordinances, and certificates of occupancy.

After speaking with members of the public and deliberation, the board offered to propose a motion requesting a demolition stay until April 15, understanding the stay would be lifted one day prior to the move date, once established.

Freeburg and Jolly stepped out of the chambers to discuss.

Once returned, Freeburg and Jolly stated they would be comfortable with a motion requesting a demolition stay until April 1, after which time they would incur additional costs if the stay were to continue without a move date. They stated that they had spoken to their builder, and he concurred. The board notified Freeberg, Jolly, and the Judges that they would introduce the motion and vote during New Business.

ADMIN REPORT: Admin reported to the board the different mail, email and phone correspondence to the board. The most notable among these was a phone communication between Gibbs and a member of the public, Tecla, who was interested in listing her building. Gibbs notified the board that Tecla was not aware there was no town or county historic register and informed her that she could pursue listing her historic structure on the National Register of Historic Places. In the course of their conversation, Tecla told Gibbs that while speaking to Kelly Sluder from the town planning department, she was told that if she were to list her building, she would no longer have full rights to modify the structure. Gibbs explained that this was not the case, as the board does not have regulatory power over design. Gibbs suggested someone from the board contact Sluder to clarify the board’s mission and powers as well as contact Tecla to discuss options for her historic structure.

Admin also relayed a message from Matt Young regarding moving the Miller House.

The board was informed of upcoming events that included the APT Mountains to Mesa Conference (3.23-3.25), SHPO Webinars, and the Building Better Boards event (moved to 2.28).

Lastly, Gibbs went through the January Action Items for review.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Incentives Committee: Building Better Boards Wonson and Zelnio both attended the recent “Building Better Boards” workshop, and provided a summary and key take-aways. They both found the meeting helpful. Presentations were offered on how to run more effective meetings and the legal obligations and responsibilities of boards. They presented several key take-aways to implement at TCHPB meetings.

Incentives contract and meeting with Tyler Sinclair Engle stated that a draft of the incentives project scope of work had been circulated to the incentives committee for review. In the meantime, Wonson reported on her meeting with planning official Tyler Sinclair. Overall, the meeting was very positive. Tyler was supportive of the board hiring a contractor to assist with the background research and development of preservation incentives. After the meeting, Commissioner Mark Newcomb contacted Wonson to request a 3 page document summarizing preservation struggles and opportunities and benefits in order to propose to the Commission that preservation incentives be added to the planners work plan. The work plan will be set in the next few weeks. He encouraged the board to express their support for including preservation on the work plan through letters and attendance at the upcoming Commissioners meeting.

Meeting with Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum: Wonson and Engle reported on their meeting with JHHSM. JHHSM currently leases the property on Mercill from the county. The county recently renewed their lease for 2 years rather than the expected 5 years. The JHHSM is concerned about the buildings on the property once they vacate the lot. The meeting was mostly an informational and brainstorming meeting. Wonson, Engle, and Gibbs (also present at the JHHSM meeting) offered some possible solutions for the smaller outbuildings. They also encouraged the JHHSM to work closely with the Commissioners regarding inclusion of historic properties in any redevelopment plans, as there does not seem to be plans for the property in place at this time.

Preservation Ordinance Committee: 125 West Hansen Update Wonson provided an update on the effort to relocate the cottage off 125 West Hansen. While the building department has been understanding of the unique situation and has been flexible on some non-health and safety code issues, the couple moving the building is now facing a potential timing crisis with their bank which will push them right up against the April 1 deadline for the stay. Hopefully the current owners will honor their commitment stated in the March meeting to delaying demolition by a few days in order to see the cottage successfully moved.

The board then discussed the many lessons learned from this case. Particularly, the board feels that in the future all delays should be recommended for the full 90 days with the knowledge that a stay can be lifted at any time.

Grand Oversight Committee: Teton County Historic Properties Survey Report Engle reported that the final draft survey had been received from Korral and that Korral had requested payment. Because the board has only received drafts and not final surveys they agreed to pay 50% of the total invoice and will issue the remaining 50% once all deliverables have been received.

Engle thanked Zelnio, Smith, Johnson, and Katz for their assistance editing and reviewing the draft surveys.

Awards Program Committee: Ankeny, Johnson, and Engle from the awards sub-committee were present and reported that they had reviewed all nominations for the plaques and O’Connor awards. In total, 14 nominations were received for the plaque program and 13 were received for the Jesse O’Connor award.

NEW BUSINESS Awards Program The awards sub-committee reported that they had reviewed the nominations to ensure they met the goals of each program, and had subsequently eliminated a handful from each category. After discussion regarding some nominations with the board, the sub-committee recommended the following nominations be put forward for plaques: Alpenhof Lodge, Old School (150 E. Hansen), Hardeman Ranch, 185 East Hansen (Land Trust building), Corbet’s Cabin. The sub-committee also recommended the following be considered for the Jesse O’Connor Award: Terry and Claudia Winchell, Mack Mendenhall (220 Redmond St), “One Hundred Seven LLC” (155 West Pearl), Brad and Kate Mead (Mead Ranch), Robert Righter.

The sub-committee will review and research these nominations in more detail to ensure the board has the information necessary to proceed, and will begin notifying property owners once award recipients have been selected.

Wonson suggested that in the future we consider a third tier of acknowledgements to the plaques and awards program to distinguish awards between those who have contributed to preservation through their work and over their lives, and those who have completed single preservation projects to save and revitalize historic structures. This “beautification” recognition could also acknowledge the architects and contractors behind the projects.

Strategic Planning Retreat The board decided to table the retreat until after new board members begin their terms in July.

Upcoming Board Vacancies Terms are ending for Eastman, Johnson, and Katz. The board briefly discussed recruitment of new members.

ADJOURNEMENT The meeting was adjourned by unanimous vote at 8:55 p.m. MINUTES TETON COUNTY HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEETING TETON COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 200 S. WILLOW STREET IN JACKSON, WYOMING April 11, 2017

CALL TO ORDER Wonson called the meeting to order in the Commissioner’s Meeting Room of the Teton County Administration Building at 7:04 p.m.

PRESENT WERE: Katherine Wonson, President; Bob Zelnio, Vice President; Betsy Engle, Secretary, Shawn Ankeny, board member; and Kurt Dubbe, board member; Erin Gibbs, administrative assistant.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND MINUTES: The agenda was approved with modification, moved by Ankeny and seconded by Zelnio. The March minutes were approved as presented, moved by Wonson and seconded by Ankeny.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Thekla VonHagke was present to discuss her historic cabin in Kelly. She explained the challenges associated with current building code that would stipulate her to fir walls that would be a part of an interior remodel. She also explained that the Planning Department continues to tell her that restrictions will be placed on her property if she seeks formal recognition for her cabin’s historical significance. The board offered to help with speaking to the county regarding code variances in order to protect historic fabric. VonHagke will be sending a letter to the board with a short history of the cabin. The board will then present this to the county Planning Department who is willing to grant a code variance as long as it has TCHPB’s input.

STAFF REPORT: Admin reported on correspondence during late March and early April. The board received a letter from WYDOT requesting input for a project that would improve on US 89 between Thayne and Etna. Since this area does not fall within Teton County, the board decided to ignore the request.

Admin delivered the CDs of digital copies of the Intensive Level Surveys to the board, sent by Koral.

Admin informed the board that Shelly from the county budget office called with questions regarding the FY2018 budget meeting with County Commissioners on April 28th between 10:45-11 am. This information had been relayed to Katz, who would not be able to attend the budget meeting. Zelnio offered to attend.

Lastly, admin reported she had received a call from realtor Ryan Block who had a question regarding whether historic preservation plaques conferred any property restrictions. Admin called Mr. Block back and left a message stating that a plaque does not create any property restrictions.

REVIEW OF MARCH ACTION ITEMS The board quickly went through the list of action items for the past month. Outstanding items included the following: • Wonson sending contact information for Sandy’s replacement • Wonson contacting Kate Mead re: School Board interest in historic cabins, Mead preservation accomplishments • Wonson emailing April Norton re: Housing and JHHSM • (Possibly) Katz emailing response to EBI consulting thanking them for including us in the 106 process and that the board has no objections to the proposed cell tower project.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Incentives Committee: Report: Council meeting 03/20 Wonson and Zelnio reported that the issue of including TCHPB in the work plan had been moved to the next meeting, where they suspected it was approved. No one spoke against including historic preservation on the council’s agenda.

School Board interest in historic cabins – No Update

Glenwood and Kelly Property A property owner contacted the board regarding their 1940s log cabin near the Center for the Arts. The owner is having issues with required setbacks and is seeking a formal recognition for their property’s historical significance from the board to assist with obtaining a code variance. The board agreed to help with speaking to the planning department. Engle drafted a short history of the property that needs to be sent to the homeowner and to Tyler Sinclair. Engle brought up the possibility of using the next round of state grants for a MPD covering residential housing in Jackson.

Town of Jackson Parks and Rec Meeting: Zelnio reported that the meeting with Jackson Parks and Rec went well. The division listed different historic properties in order of priority vis a vis feasibility of preservation. They were enthusiastic about creating a ‘pioneer village’ property but were concerned with keeping strict restriction surrounding how many buildings to allow in order to avoid squatters/vandalism, and to ensure that any plan would be well crafted and would stipulate adequate and regular maintenance. Engle brought up the issue that the board needed to decide on an official statement regarding moving buildings. Engle raised the issue of having to decide between accidentally creating a false sense of history versus moving a building in order to save it. The board voted to add this issue for the strategic planning retreat, moved by Engle and seconded by Dubbe.

Preservation Ordinance Committee: 525 E. Cache Creek Drive The board determined that the property is less than 50 years old and the demo permit allowed to pass.

550 E. Cache Creek Drive The board determined that the property is less than 50 years old and the demo permit allowed to pass.

The board then discussed how they would like to handle future demo permits. The board decided that the committee will meet, even for those properties that aren’t deemed historic so they can still issue a decision.

Grand Oversight Committee: Teton County Historic Properties Survey Report The board received copies of final surveys, and the final payment is due to Koral. Next steps for the survey will be reported on more fully next month but are briefly discussed in New Business below.

Awards Program Committee: Ankeny, Dubbe, and Engle from the awards sub-committee were present and reported that they finalized the nomination list and decided to contact everyone before awarding any plaques or awards. Not all members were able to contact their assigned property owner and would be completing this item for next month.

NEW BUSINESS Preservation award nomination discussion and decision Tabled until next meeting after property owners notified. September 26 will be the awards ceremony.

Upcoming board member vacancy Mackenzie King from Dubbe’s firm was recommended as a possible board member. Other people from the planning commission where discussed.

Survey Next Steps The surveys need to be sent to the SHPO and property owners. For property owners, the benign nature of the survey needs to be reinforced. The information then needs to be included in the county’s database. Grant paperwork needs to be included with the copies sent to SHPO.

Elect New Treasurer The board decided to wait until new appointments to the board are made. In the interim, Zelnio agreed to act as a temporary treasurer. He will attend the budget meeting with the County Commissioners on April 28th between 10:45-11:00 AM.

The board and the Hawtins discussed the history, significance, options for moving the building, and subdividing the property. The Hawtins agreed to a 90 day demolition stay that would allow the bard to explore options for marketing the property with the house to a potential seller, while also looking into different options for subdividing the lot so that the house could stay in situ. The board discussed documenting the structure before any potential demolition.

STAFF REPORT: Admin reported on correspondence during late April and early May. The board received a letter from AWH requesting the board’s annual donation. While the board donated to AHW in the fall, the letter requested that TCHPB once again return to the regular donation cycle of giving during the spring.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Incentives Committee: Report: Budget Meeting Zelnio reported that the budget meeting with the County Commissioners went well. The one question the Commissioners had was in regards to the CLG grant. Zelnio told the Commissioners that the board would apply for grant from the state for the 2018 application period. The board was granted their budget.

Incentives contract Engle reported that the next step in the contract process is review by Tyler Sinclair. A subcommittee will be formed next month to oversee the contract.

Preservation Ordinance Committee: 115 Nelson Dr. A motion was put forth by Zelnio to approve the demolition of the two sheds on the property, but request a 90 day stay on demolishing the house. The request was seconded by Engle and unanimously approved.

380 S. Glenwood The board voted unanimously to allow the permit on the garage to pass, moved by Engle and seconded by Katz. The board ruled the garage was not historically significant.

120 N. Milward The board voted unanimously to allow the permit on the garage to pass, moved by Katz and seconded by Johnson. The board ruled the garage had lost integrity due to neglect.

365 W. Kelly The board voted unanimously to allow the permit on the house to pass, moved by Katz and seconded by Engle. While fifty years old, the board ruled the house was not historically significant as it was not an outstanding example of the characteristics marking mid-century building stock in Jackson.

Grant Oversight Committee: No new reports.

Awards Program Committee: Engle explained to the board that the committee had brought Albertson into the nomination process and reported on the results of the meeting. Engle told the board that the Alpenhof owners were enthusiastic about the consideration of their nomination and will send managers to the awards ceremony. Mack Mendenhall was also excited about his nomination. The committee had not heard from Kate Mead or Terry Winchell; Jackson Hole Mountain Resort was wary of Corbett’s Cabin nomination due to the impending demolition in the next five years.

MINUTES TETON COUNTY HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEETING TETON COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 200 S. WILLOW STREET IN JACKSON, WYOMING June 13, 2017

CALL TO ORDER Wonson called the meeting to order in the Commissioner’s Meeting Room of the Teton County Administration Building at 7:05 p.m.

PRESENT WERE: Katherine Wonson, President; Bob Zelnio, Vice President; Betsy Engle, Secretary, Sherry Smith, board member; Kurt Dubbe, board member; Frank Johnson, board member; Shawn Ankeny, board member; Smokey Rhea, town and county liaison; JP Schubert, advisor; Morgan Albertson, advisor; Erin Gibbs, administrative assistant; and Amy McCarthy, Porgy McClellen, and Jamie Riley from the Teton Raptor Center.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND MINUTES: The agenda was approved as presented, moved by Johnson and seconded by Ankeny. The June minutes were approved as presented, moved by Wonson and seconded by Dubbe.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Amy McCarthy, Porgy McClellen, and Jamie Riley from the Teton Raptor Center were present for public comment to discuss their plans for the Hardeman barns. Dubbe is on retainer as an architect for the Raptor Center and was asked to speak to the board concerning the Raptor Center’s plans. The Raptor Center recently purchased the barns after occupying the property for some time. The Teton County Land Trust has placed a conservation easement on the property that recognizes and respects the historic buildings located on the property. A modified HSR has been completed for the historic structures, including evaluations of integrity, significance, and condition, with the exception of the historic ranch house. The Raptor center made it clear they value the historic buildings and are planning on integrating the majority of them into their programmatic needs. However, the Raptor Center will need additional buildings which would necessitate the demolition or moving of some existing structures. The largest issue will be moving one of the two barns that have historically been connected; the Raptor Center explained who will be doing this and how. Some board members expressed concern over an adverse effect to the property’s National Register status. The Raptor Center will be circulating their plans to the county, which they expect in turn to be supplied to the board and welcome their comments.

STAFF REPORT: Admin reported on correspondence during late May and early June. The board received no mail or email correspondence for the previous month, but had a few phone messages. These included a message from Kelly Sluter with Town Planning who inquired about Thekla’s cabin and if she was allowed to put an addition on the structure. Dubbe notified the board that he had spoke to Kelly and explained that additions were allowed for historic structures and encouraged any additional questions he might have. Admin also received a message from Cerise Kudar looking to schedule an appointment to tour the White Grass Dude Ranch cabins. Wonson volunteered to follow up with her. Lastly, Ray Pilgrim, an American Legion member contacted the board looking for Albertson for the purposes of securing the hall for the plaque/awards ceremony in September.

REVIEW OF JUNE ACTION ITEMS The board quickly went through the list of action items for the past month.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Incentives Committee: Hardeman Ban Update See above in Public Comment

Moulton Cabin Report Wonson informed the board that the Moulton cabin on Mormon row, own by Blake family may be going up for sale. The Grand Teton National Park Association has expressed no interest in purchasing the property, which would be sold for 5 million. Wonson clarified that the Blakes would prefer to see the property pass into park hands, rather than a private investor. While nothing has been confirmed yet, Wonson urges the board to have a plan in place if the property is put on the market. The board planned on facilitating a meeting between the Blakes, Park, and Association as a first step to addressing the problem if the property is planned to be sold.

Housing Authority Wonson updated the board on her meeting with the Teton Housing Authority. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss accessory residential units (ARUs) and how historic buildings could accomplish additional housing for the county through variances allowing ARUs. April Norton with the Housing Authority was receptive to this ideal. The next steps are to write an amendment addressing exemptions for historic structures and submitting it to the county for review. The meeting also addressed a revolving fund to act as a loan system to help move and fix historic buildings. Norton experienced her enthusiasm for partnering with the board and supports the broad goal of increasing latitude for historic structures vis a vis zoning and code.

Table/tent for People’s Market (8/16) Gibbs reported she had secured a spot at the Peoples Market on 8/16. Next month will require planning for the event.

Kudar Update Wonson and Dubbe reported that the youngest generation of the Kudar family is interested in keeping the majority of the historic guest cabins. However, there are other members who are not receptive to this idea. Next steps with the board included proving the benefits and feasibility of winterizing the cabins as a more effective financial move than demolishing them.

JHHSM update (Wonson, Albertson, and Engle) Wonson, Albertson, and Engle met with the JHHSM, whose members also include member Smith. Smith reported that the discussion concerning next steps for preserving the building housing the museum was informative for the JHHSM members. A meeting is scheduled for next month, and JHHSM is considering inviting elected officials to attend. Rhea added that the issue of the museum is a community problem, and that the county, museum, town, and board will need to move forward together to be effective.

Preservation Ordinance Committee: 330 Snow King. Gibbs reported that 330 Snow King was demolished, but that Snow King had tried repeatedly to contact the board through the County Website, underscoring the need to resolve IT issues with the county.

640 S. Glenwood The ranch one-story was built in 1955 according to county records. The board voted unanimously to not recommend a stay.

160 E. Broadway The core structure of the building is recorded as dating to the 1930s. Johnson volunteered to look up some of the history of the property. The board voted unanimously to not recommend a stay.

225 Redmond The board voted unanimously to not recommend a stay due to the age of the structure.

Rockefeller Chicken Coop Wonson reported that coop was moved and will ensure that a demo permit is put in for it.

Bar BC MOA Dubbe and Smith reviewed draft and agree with SHPOs comments and would appreciate continued discussion.

Grand Oversight Committee: No new reports.

Awards Program Committee: Albertson provided an update on the awards program, including sending out plaque blurbs and contacting property owners. The hall at the American Legion has been booked for September 26 6-8 PM. Kurt requested Rhea to attend.

NEW BUSINESS Gros Ventre Land Acquisition and Exchange Documents Overview J.P. Schubert updated the board on the documents sent to SHPO after the comment period and SHPO confirmed the report. No demolition will take place for any structures, with some structures’ status changed to unevaluated rather than ineligible. Two sheds deemed ineligible will be moved to local rancher’s property. There will be some cleaning of the properties in order to comply with safety and wildlife concerns.

For the Land exchange, the Hay Cribs status were changed from eligible to unevaluated. The Gap Puche Cabin owned by Wisconsin Senator Cole is undergoing an MOA with TCHPB as a consulting party. The preference of the USFS and Cole is to not put an easement on the property but rather to have the cabin’s continued use be guiding/outfitting. The permit allowing this has expired, but a new permit is possible. The MOA timeline will be issued to the board in the coming months.

Board Member Vacancy Rhea reported that the board will be notified who was chosen for the board in the coming weeks.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Incentives Committee:

Moulton Cabin Report Sherry, Bob and George Phocas met with GTNP superintendent David Vela and his advisor Gary Pollock and Moulton Cabin owners Hal and Iola Blake and their realtor at the cabins. They reported that the Blakes are committed to selling the property, though it was an agonizing decision. The Blakes hope the property will end up in NPS hands. David stated that the NPS has no land acquisition funds available, but that he would bring the topic to his management team on Tuesday, July 11 for discussion. All parties agreed the GTNP Foundation could be approached and asked to fundraise for the property. The board discussed several alternatives, including meeting with the Foundation and considering alternative private owners who may respect the historic value of the property. Kurt pointed out that there are many examples of successful private campuses within national parks, including the McGraw Ranch in Rocky Mountain NP. Katherine and Betsy recused themselves from any decisions due to potential conflict of interest.

Next Steps: Bob, Sherry, and (hopefully) George will reach out to Leslie at the GTNP Foundation to discuss whether the board can be of assistance and to show local support for any Moulton Cabin project. Kurt will reach out to the JH Land Trust to gauge their temperature on holding preservation easements since they are holding the Hardeman Barn easement and their mission includes ranching values and their “about us” states that they preserve “open space and the critical wildlife habitat, magnificent scenic vistas, and historic ranching heritage of Western Wyoming.” Bob will also write a thank you to the park and the Blakes for meeting.

Lucas Family/Lazy Double A: Johnson updated the board on the request for assistance from the Lucas family. A conservation easement held by the Nature Conservancy was set up in 1998. The easement states that the two plots are allowed a single hay storage structure each, and are requiring the removal of the Lucas homestead cabin, which is in poor condition. The cabin is over 100 years and cannot likely be moved. Johnson report that Clarene Law had put the Lucas’s in touch with her son and they were working on a solution. Johnson will follow-up to see if issue gets resolved.

ARU Update: Wonson reported that the housing authority is putting teogether a committee to explore ARUs. The housing authority has noted that ARUs are not being built. They are not being built because: 1) People who would like to build ARUs and would like the added income can’t afford to build them; 2) People who can afford to build ARUs have no incentive to because they don’t need the extra income from a rental property. They are exploring two incentives: 1) a prefab ARU, 2) historic structures, including possible amendments to the ARU language that would allow for larger historic ARUs. Wonson stated that the TCHPB had been asked to come up with a cost/sf comparable for historic vs. new construction, as well as “typical” sf for historic properties to be included in the amendment and to draft amendment language. Stirn stated that he had local experience with ARUs. Wonson and Stirn will draft amendment language.

Preservation Ordinance Committee: 115 Nelson Update Peterson House: Board discussed how to get the word out. A facebook post has been created and Wonson will mention it to JH News and Guide. Will also share with “You know you grew up in Jackson if” facebook page.

Grant Oversight Committee: Engle will submit grant paperwork.

Awards Program Committee: Engle and Albertson provided a summary of planning for the plaques and awards program in September. Board members need to review the guest list and share addresses if needed. The actual plaques and awards will cost $2,400.

NEW BUSINESS JHHSM Meeting: Smith reported that members of the TCHPB and JHHSM board had met with Sinclair to discuss the possibility of keeping the buildings. Both groups were encouraged and committed to presenting the commissioners with a proposal to preserve the JHHSM in its current Mercill location, and had (happily) deferred discussion of moving the cabins. During their meeting, Sinclair told the board members that any presentation to the commissioners would need to include the context of a larger JHHSM space plan. Wonson posed the question to TCHPB: Could TCHPB financially assist with creation of a professional plan to present to the commissioners. Stirn asked how a physical plan could be completed without a strategic plan. The board discussed supporting hiring a space planner/museum specialist to assist with reviewing space needs and strategic plan. No conclusion on whether TCHPB can financially assist another TC entity. Need to follow-up.

Election of Officers: Katherine Wonson was reelected president (Nominated by Zelnio, seconded by Smith) Mackenzie King was elected vice president (Nominated by Wonson, seconded by Engle) Bob Zelnio was elected treasurer (Nominated by Wonson, seconded by Smith) Betsy Engle was reelected secretary (Nominated by Wonson, seconded by Johnson)

BOARD MEMBER ISSUES Need to schedule a retreat and possibly a tour. Mackenzie will circulate some dates in October.

Calendar Entries to Note: - Mackenzie King will set up a shared TCHPB calendar for relevant events. 7/20/2017: Welcome event for Morgan Albertson, new executive director of JHHSM at Cache St. Museum. 8/16/2017: People’s Market Booth. Gibbs, Engle, Dubbe, and Smith will help man the booth. Will need to set up a tent and table and have some available information. Will also have a sign-up for people to learn about when cabins are available to be moved. Will work out details at August meeting.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Incentives Committee:

Incentives Scope Update Moved due to Engle’s absence

ARU update Wonson reported that there is an email out to Tyler Sinclair but that she has not yet heard back. Item moved to September agenda

GRTE HMPM/Bar BC update Smith reported that the park’s draft MOA was eventually agreed upon by the involved parties. The MOA included 3-4 topics that allowed for some of the structures at Bar BC to continue to deteriorate, some later additions to be removed despite being within the Period of Significance) and increased training for interpretive guides.

Preservation Ordinance Committee: 265 E Broadway Demo Permit The board used photos provided by Dubbe to consider the demolition of garage and shed structures at 265 E. Broadway. Due to their age being less than 50 years without any significance, the board voted unanimously to approve the demo permit, put forth by Ankeny and seconded by Johnson. Dubbe, who is acting as the architect on record for the project, abstained.

400 W. Snow King Demo Permit The demo permit for the structure at 400 W Snow King was considered by the board, who determined that more information was needed on the history of the structure to make a determination. Initial discussion suggested that the building did not have sufficient significance historically or architecturally to put a stay on the demo permit. The board voted unanimously, with King abstaining, to allow the demo permit unless additional information was brought forth on the property. King was tasked with reaching out to the owners (Town of Jackson) to gain more information on the structure.

Kearns Meadow Cabin update. Dubbe reported the difficulty he has been experiencing getting in touch with Rush and Klaus. The board decided to attempt to contact Rush and Klaus for one more month in order to confirm that their interest in the property has waned; it is possible that Jackson Parks and Rec may be interested in the building.

115 Nelson Drive update Wonson reported that the Hawtins would work with the board if there was an interested party, even if a move could not be made until after the demo permit stay deadline of August 24. Wonson had talked with the paper about the property but was unsure if or when the feature would run.

Grant Oversight Committee: The grant deadline for FY 2018 CLG grants is in October. This year, the board plans to focus on a residential context survey for the county.

Awards Program Committee: Results of meeting/awards update Moved as no meeting had occurred. The committee is responsible for scheduling a meeting.

NEW BUSINESS Treasurer’s Report Zelnio reported that the board is in good financial shape and that all the documents /signatures needed were successfully transferred over from Katz-Gagnon. The board currently has a balance of $55,000. The board discussed a list of potential projects to draw from this amount, including the incentives contract, in- kind contribution for the CLG grant, Admin wages, etc.

People’s Market TCHPB will have a booth at the People’s Market, happening on August 16th from 4-6. The board divided tasks to prepare for the market: King will make a poster on foam core, and provide sign up sheet for an updated mailing list and gauge interest in being contacted for cabins that are being moved. Gibbs will help pull together interactive materials, including historic window exercise (and provided window) and printing out coloring pages. Dubbe and Engle will man the booth.

Moulton Ranch Property The GRTE Foundation is not interested in purchasing the land on Mormon Row. Next steps include Zelnio and Smith reaching out directly to their contacts involved with the process to explore other options. Dubbe was tasked with contacting the Land Trust; Wonson will contact Melissa at JHNG to run a story on the issue.

BOARD MEMBER ISSUES Dubbe suggested doing a Rockefeller tour for the fall outing, and combining this with a retreat. The board was receptive to this idea.

Rhea reported that the commission is pleased with the board’s activity and involvement.

Zelnio will speak to Sam Ford regarding book to see if she is still interested in doing the project.

Sam Ford contacted the board to alert them that the South Park School House is involved in a land swap that could result in its demolition. Johnson was tasked with following up with the Lucases while Zelnio will speak with Polly Friess from the Classical Academy.

PRESENT WERE: Katherine Wonson, President; Mackenzie King, Vice President; Bob Zelnio, Treasurer; Betsy Engle, Secretary; Sherry Smith, board member; Frank Johnson, board member; and Michael Stern, board member.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND MINUTES: The agenda was approved with modification, moved by Wonson and seconded by King. The September minutes were approved with modification, moved by Smith and seconded by King.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Emily and Adam Janak were present for public comment.

The Janaks own the property at 240 and 244 E. Hanssen, purchased in March of 2016. A historic log cabin makes up the core of the house, with two additions dating from a later period that do not appear to confer any historic significance. The modern additions cross the property line and will be demolished. The Janak’s are actively working on restoring the historic exterior appearance of the original cabin. The interior will be adaptively reused for a kitchen and living space, and a new addition will be added to the rear of the building. The Janaks will vault the ceiling on the cabins interior, resulting in changes to the cabin’s structural system: the corners of the cabin will need to be pinned in order to comply with current load/seismic requirements.

As the building currently sits, it is within the town setback requirements. The Janaks seek a letter of support from the board explaining the historic significance of the building, which would then allow the structure special consideration vis a vis setback requirements and avoid the need to move the structure.

The board expressed their support for the project. Wonson brought up potential issues with future engineering considerations and historic buildings, suggesting a special consideration may be appropriate for those historic structures that may not be compliant within modern code requirements, but are still structurally sound. Johnson asked if the cabin potentially moved from the elk refuge. Smith suggested that the Janak’s efforts be brought to the attention of the JH News and Guide; the Janaks expressed their support of this action and agreed to send the board the blog they are writing during the rehabilitation process. Engle asked if the Janaks would be willing to share information they gather during the process; the Janaks agreed. Engle made a motion to support the project and write a letter of support before October 24, seconded by Johnson. The motion wan unanimously approved.

STAFF REPORT: Wonson went through the phone, email and mail correspondence, presenting the board the RSVP’s for the Plaque party, as well as a phone call with Sam Petrie; Johnson returned the call and determined the 1979 stick frame structure isn’t historically significant.

Wonson reminded the board of the upcoming Plaque Party on September 26th.
