[Calclg-l] Preservation planners

[Beverly Shane]

Wendy,

 

1.         Tuolumne County has a population of 58,000 and does not have a dedicated preservation planner.  

 

2.         N/A

 

3.         N/A

 

4.         N/A

 

5.         N/A

 

6.         N/A

 

7.         N/A

 

8.         All of the planners in our office work on projects that involve preservation or alterations to historic buildings and structures.  Many of the projects are referred to our Historic Preservation Review Commission (HPRC) which is comprised of members with historic preservation expertise.  Many of the projects also required the preparation of a cultural resource study by a qualified consultant.  The use of the consultants and the HPRC process have obviated the need to have a preservation expert on staff at this time although it would be ideal to have one.

Greetings to all CLG folks

 

I¹d like to know from CLG cities the following:

1. IF you have a dedicated preservation planner, how many historical

resources does this individual look-over? And what is the population of your

city/town? 

2. Does this planner collaborate with other planners on other projects or is

there enough work to focus solely on Historical structures?

3. Why was it deemed necessary to hire a preservation planner in your

community? 

4. How do you feel this person has benefited your historic resources, your

community 

5. Is there a synergy, good cooperation between this planner and other

departmental staff or is the planner seen as a hindrance?

6. Is it perceived that the costs for this focused planner has been worth

it? 

7. Is this planner being integrated into Green Building ordinance work?

8. --any added commentary you may feel necessary to add--

 

Thank you

Wendy Ward
