DATE: 04/09/2013
SUBJECT: Historic Preservation Ordinance Discussion
Action Sought
The Historic Preservation Advisory Commission seeks direction from the Council in regards to the drafting and
approval of a Historic Preservation Ordinance.
Introduction
The Historic Preservation Advisory Commission met with the Council on March 19, 2013, and after considerable
discussion regarding the draft Historic Preservation Ordinance, it was determined that the Commission and Council
would meet in early April to discuss the draft ordinance in more detail before moving forward with any formal
determination.
Discussion
At the March 19, 2013 meeting, there was significant discussion on certain elements of the proposed ordinance.
Questions raised included the following:
1. Could subsequent property owners "opt -out" of the program?
2. What types of fees would be put in place for applications pertaining to historic preservation items (i.e., an
application requesting inclusion or removal from the program, an application for a site alteration permit, and
an appeal of any decision of the HPAC)?
3. What basis would there be for overturning an appeal?
4. Is this draft ordinance unconstitutional?
5. Provide clarification on the Certified Local Government program.
1. The Council questioned whether the consideration as a historic property would stay with the property should
ownership change, or would the new property owners have to submit an application or an appeal to be removed
from consideration. The Commissions intent on this subject was that those properties listed at the time the
Ordinance was adopted would be considered historic and eligible for financial assistance for certain structure
improvements. Those that would request to be included after the adoption of the ordinance would submit an
application to the Commission for their consideration, with a recommendation forwarded to the City Council for
formal action. The same process would follow should a property owner request removal from consideration. Staff
and the Commission believe there is a process available where individuals in the process of purchasing a property
that is considered historic by the City would be made aware of this determination from a document on file in the
County Recorder's Office, much like a deed restriction or conservation easement document is on record, and the
potential property owner would be made aware of this historic listing at the time of their research into the purchase
of this property. It was also considered by members of the Commission that language that makes this very clear
also be incorporated into the draft ordinance.
2. It was discussed that the city could subsidize expenses for applications, as there are a rather limited number of
properties that would be involved in this process; thus the fees should be rather manageable. Additionally, staff and
the Commission do not anticipate that much additional review time would be necessary, when compared to a
standard building permit application process. The Commission would support whatever fee structure the Council
recommends, as well as whatever review guidelines the Council would like to establish.
3. It was suggested that the language concerning appeals could be softened. That section of the draft ordinance is
found starting on the bottom of page 6, and concluding at the top of page 7. The Commission would certainly
incorporate whatever language the Council would support into the draft ordinance.
4. The City Attorney's Office has provided documentation that supports that historic preservation has been found
constitutional. Minnesota Statues, Section 471.193 authorizes local governing bodies to engage in a comprehensive
program of historic preservation, and to promote the use and conservation of historic properties for the education,
inspiration, pleasure, and enrichment of the citizens of this state. That statute provides direction on how a city,
county or town may regulate how historic preservation is served by a community. Additionally, there has been
documented basis for historic preservation in numerous cases.
5. Staff has reviewed the Minnesota Certified Local Government (CLG) Procedures Manual, prepared by the State
Historic Preservation Office of the Minnesota Historical Society. This document addresses the purpose,
requirements and processes that certified local governments must follow. The Commission believes that the
Resolution adopted by the Council that initiated the Commission, along with the rules and regulations which they
follow, in addition to the approval of a historic preservation ordinance, would qualify the Commission to pursue
becoming a CLG. Should the City of Shakopee ever attain certified local government status, the Commission will
follow those standards, and would hope to be able to apply for federal matching grants to preserve historic
properties, as well as pursue Federal Investment Tax Credits and Minnesota Historic Structure Rehabilitation State
Tax Credits.
The Commission would like to discuss these items and others (ex; establishment of design guidelines to assist
homeowners with project development) in more detail with the Council so that they can conduct the necessary
research and make the necessary changes in order to present the ordinance to the Council for adoption and
implementation, which would be in keeping with one of the goals identified in the adopted 2030 Comprehensive
Plan.
The Commission did send out notices to property owners of properties tentatively listed as historical structures /sites
last fall, and had planned to re- notify those property owners after the Commission had a work session discussion
with the Council. However, as directed by the Council at the March 19h meeting, staff did send notices to those
property owners to inform them of the April 9th discussion. Staff did send out notices to 85 properties, 8 of which
were those that had formally requested removal from consideration as a historic property (those 8 notices served as
confirmation that their property had been removed from the list of potential locally designated historic properties,
but that they were being made aware of the meeting due to their past involvement or interest in being kept aware of
any action related to Historic Preservation).
Attached to this memorandum is a list properties (and the corresponding map) that would be regulated by this
Ordinance, as well as potential recipients of funding from State and Federal grant and loan programs, should the
City be recognized as a Certified Local Government.
Action Requested
The Council is asked to provide direction to the Commission with proceeding with development of a historic
preservation ordinance and design guidelines, with the Commission to make any necessary changes and forward a
recommendation for Council action.

Section 1. The City Code is amended to include new Chapter 17, Historic Preservation, which shall
read as follows:
SEC. 17.01. PURPOSE AND DEFINITIONS.
Subd. 1. Purpose. The City Council finds that historically significant buildings, architectural and
archaeological sites, significant cultural assets, structures, and objects represent scarce, non-
renewable heritage resources that are critical assets for community development; that heritage
preservation is an important public service and a legitimate responsibility of City government; and that
the preservation, protection, and enhancement of significant heritage resources for the benefit of
present and future citizens is a public necessity.
The purpose of this Chapter is to encourage the sensitive rehabilitation, restoration, stabilization, and
preservation of historic properties throughout the City. These rehabilitation and preservation efforts
should provide for the upgrading and maintenance of the safety features of the building or structure to
provide a practical level of safety to the public and surrounding properties. While ensuring this
increased level of public safety, the City shall be open to acceptable alternative solutions and
alternative compliance concepts, where practical, that will permit the continued use of existing buildings
and structures without creating overly restrictive financial burdens on owners or occupants. Nothing in
this Chapter shall be construed to prevent the ordinary maintenance or repair of any exterior elements
of any building or structure that is required by City Code.
Subd. 2. Definitions and Interpretations. Except as may otherwise be provided or clearly irrplied by
context, all terms shall be given their commonly accepted definitions. The following terms shall have
the definitions given to them:

3. Moving a building or structure to another location;
4. Excavation of archaeological features, grading, or earth moving in areas believed
to contain signficant prehistoric or historic archaeological sites; or

I. The age of the building, object, or site is 50 years of age or older from the current date, provided
that at least one of the above criteria are also met.
Subd. 3. Notification. If the Commission determines that a property appears to meet one or more of
the eligibility criteria for designation as a historic site, it may by majority vote issue a recommendation to
the City Council. Prior to the Commission making a recommendation, it shall notify the property owner
and provide the property owner with an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed
recommendation.
Subd. 4. Nomination Report. Each recommendation by the Commission for a property to be
designated as a historic site shall be accompanied with a report from the Commission that identifies
and locates the property, explains how it meets one or more of the criteria for designation, and makes
the case for historical significance and integrity. The report must also include a plan for the treatment
of the property which may include permit review guidelines. A copy of the report must be transmitted to
the State Historic Preservation Officer for review and comment prior to City Council action.
Subd. 5. Council Designation, Hearings. The City Council may by resolution designate a historic
site. Upon receipt of the Commission's recommendation, the City Council shall hold a public hearing to

published in the official newspaper of the City at least 10 days prior to the day of the hearing; and
written notice of the hearing shall be mailed to the property owner at least 10 days prior to the day of
the hearing.
Subd. 6. Nominations to the National Register of Historic Places. The Commission may nominate
a property to the National Register of Historic Places, but no nomination shall be made without the
consent of the City Council.
SEC 17.03. SITE ALTERATION PERMIT APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS AND REVIEW.
Subd. 1. Site Alteration Permits Required. To protect historic sites, the Commission shall review all
applications for City permits for the following types of work in relation to properties designated as
historic sites:
A. Remodel, repair, or change in any manner that will alter the exterior appearance of an existing
building or site including exterior materials, signage and awnings;
B. Permanent interior remodeling of a building which visibly affects its exterior appearance if it is
visible from the public right -of -way;
C. New construction including additions, garages, and landscape structures;
D. Moving a building or structure to another location;
E. Demolition of any building or structure, in whole or in part; and
F. Public improvement projects which directly or indirectly affect the site.
No City permit for the types of work described above will be issued without the issuance of a site
alteration permit approved by the Commission, evidencing compliance with the standards and
guidelines for the treatment of the historic site that are set forth in this Chapter. The Building Official
4
41043Iv2 SJS SH155 -23
shall deny any building permit application for work proposed on a historic site which has not been first
considered by the Commission or which is inconsistent with conditions or directives issued by the
Commission in the Site Alteration Permit.
Subd. 2. Site Alteration Permit Application Requirements. An application for a site alteration
permit shall be submitted to the Planning Department and shall be accompanied by an application fee
as determined by the City Council in the City's fee schedule.
Applications shall be accompanied by three copies of detailed plans including a site plan, building
elevations, design details and materials, and any other related information deemed necessary by the
City to evaluate the request, such as:
A. Historic photographs of the building;
B. Drawings and notations that describe the proposed work, clearly identifying and dimensioning
each element and feature, its location, size, material, and color;
C. Paint type and color.
Subd. 3. Commission Review. The Commission shall determine that the work to be performed will
not adversely affect the historic site based on the following criteria (note that criteria A thru J are
consistent with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation):
A. Every reasonable effort is being made to provide a compatible use for the property that requires
minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use the property
for its originally intended purpose. If no compatible use can be found, adaptive reuse and
rezoning may be considered by the City in lieu of potential demolition;
B. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure, or site and its
environment shall not being destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or
distinctive architectural features should be avoided where possible;
C. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as projects of their own time. Alterations
that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be
discouraged;
D. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and
development of a building, structure, or site and its environment. These changes may have
acquired significance in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized and respected;
E. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship that characterize a building,
structure, or site shall be treated with sensitivity;
F. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced, wherever possible. In
the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced
in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of
missing architectural features are based on accurate duplication of features, substantiated by
historic, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of
different architectural elements from other buildings or structures;
5
410431v2 SJS SH155 -23
G. The surface cleaning of the structure shall be undertaken with the gentlest means possible.
Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building materials shall
not be undertaken;
H. Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and preserve archeological resources affected
by, or adjacent to, any project. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be
undertaken;
I. Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not be
discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical,
architectural, or cultural material, and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color,
material, and character of the property, neighborhood, and environment;
J. Whenever possible, new additions or alterations to structures are to be constructed in such a
manner that if such additions were to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity
of the primary structure would be unimpaired;
K. The original exterior walls or surface of buildings and structures are to be retained to the
maximum extent possible. No more than 50 percent of the original exterior walls may be
destroyed, removed, or covered;
L. Any paint that is being applied shall be either oil based, acrylic, latex, factory applied, or epoxy,
and shall be appropriate for the material it is being applied to with assurance that careful
preparations will be made for proper adhesion and durability;
M. Paint colors being used shall be similar to those used during the era when the building was
constructed (for example, earth tones, greens, dark reds, pale yellows, and browns were
popular in the latter half of the 19th century; lighter shades predominated in later decades);
N. In the case of a proposed alteration or addition to an existing building, the alteration or addition
will not materially impair the architectural or historic value of the historic site. The existing
structures and existing exterior appearance, building height, building width, depth, and other
dimensions, roof style, type of building materials, ornamentation, and paving setback shall be
considered;.
O. In the case of a new accessory building proposed on a historic property, the new building will
not in itself, or by reason of its location on the site, materially impair the architectural or historic
value of the historic site. It shall also be in conformance with the general height, setback,
massing and character of the site.
P. If no discernible architectural style is apparent, the building's exterior shall emulate or
compliment other prevailing styles within the block;
If the Commission finds that the site alteration permit application is in substantial compliance with the
above criteria, the application shall be approved by the Commission. All decisions of the Commission
shall be based on explicit findings that are in accordance with the above criteria. The Commission shall
forward the permit along with any conditions and directives to the property owner and provide a copy of
the permit to the Building Official.
Subd. 4. Permit Denial, Appeals to the City Council. The Commission, in any written order denying
a permit, shall notify the applicant of the appeal procedures provided herein. The permit applicant or
6
41043Iv2 SJS SHI55 -23
any party aggrieved by the decision of the Commission shall, within 10 days of the date of the
Commission's written order and decision, have a right to appeal such order and decision to the City
Council. Such appeal shall be addressed to the City Council and submitted to the Zoning Administrator
and shall include a statement of reasons setting forth the grounds for an appeal. The appropriate staff
shall transmit a copy of the appeal and statement of reasons for the appeal to the City Council and to
the Commission. The City Council may modify or overrule the Commission's decision, but only if the
project is found to be consistent with the recommended standards set forth in this Chapter for
preservation projects.
Subd. 5. Limitations. The Commission shall take final action to approve or deny a site alteration
permit within 45 days of the date a completed application was submitted. If within 45 days from the
filing of a complete application, the Commission has not commented on the application, the Building
Official may issue the site alteration permit and any other permits required provided that all other
requirements for issuance of other permits have been met.
Subd. 6. Emergency Repairs. It is not the intent of this Chapter to hinder the safety of a structure in
an emergency situation. In emergency situations where immediate repair is needed to protect the
safety of the structure and its inhabitants, the Building Official in consultation with other appropriate City
staff, may, without Commission action, approve the repair of only those items needed to ensure safety.
In this case, the Building Official shall require that the repairs be made in conformance with this
Chapter, to the extent possible. In addition, City staff shall notify the Commission of the action and
specify the facts or conditions constituting the emergency situation.
Subd. 7. Simplified Review Process for Minor Work. When proposed work is in conformance with
the applicable Historic Preservation ordinance, as specified in Chapter 5 of this document, permit
applications for minor work may be approved by the Building Official in consultation with other
appropriate staff. Minor work shall include repair or re- roofing; in kind repair to existing windows, doors,
siding or trim; and repairs to porches, fences, and retaining walls. Review will not be required for work
done as part of utility and sidewalk repairs unless such work requires removal of designated historic
objects or features. In no case shall the strict adherence to these standards supersede the need to
make the necessary expedient repairs.
SEC. 17.06. ENFORCEMENT AND VIOLATIONS.
Subd. 1. Notice of Violation. An owner, occupant, or designated representative of any designated
historic property, who violates any provision of this Chapter shall be issued a written notice of violation
by the Building Official. The notice shall specify the nature of the violation and the means for rectifying
the violation. The notice shall be sent by certified mail, receipt requested or hand delivered to the
property owner and any other person in violation.
Subd. 2. Stop Work Order. If the violation is not rectified to the satisfaction of the Commission as
required, the City may issue a stop work order or commence a civil injunctive action to stop, prevent, or
abate the violation.
SEC. 17.07. REPOSITORY OF DOCUMENTS.
The office of the City Clerk is designated as the repository for at least one copy of all studies, reports,
recommendations from the Commission as required by this Chapter.
7
410431v2 SJS SH155 -23
