Section 2. This preservation Program for this heritage preservation district is stated as followsc HISTORIC HILL HERITAGE PRESERVATION DISTRICT Preservation Program The following Guidelines �ar Design Review will serve as the basis for the Heritage Preservation Commission's permit review decisions in the Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District. The guidelines define the most important elements of the Hill District's unique physi- cal appearance and state the best means of preserving and enhancing these elements in xehabilitation or new construction. These guid�l'ines a:re not hard and fast regulations. The�:�;are �lexible criteria. Their pur- pose is to provi � e assurance to property owners that permit review will be based on clear standards rather than the taste of individual Commission members. The guidelines will be interpreted with flexibility depend- ing on the particular merit o£ the building or area under review. Consideration will be given to t12e un- availability or expense o� historical materials. When applying the guidelines the Commission will also be considerate o� clearly defined cases o� economic hard- ship or de�rivation of the owner of reasonable use of her/his property. The design guidelines cover five general areas: (1) - demolition; (2) house moving; (3) new construction; (4) rehabilitation; and (5) signage. � ., • ' Paqe 3. � ��0 � . � s �� ST. PAUL HISTORIC HILL HERITAGE PRESERVATION DISTRICT DESIGN GUIDELINES A. DEMOLITION The Heritage Preservation Commission will follow the guidelines, stated in the Heritage Preservation Ordinance (#16006)�, Section 6(I)(2) , when reviewing permit applications for demolition: "In the case of the proposed demolition of a building, prior to approval of said demolition, the Corr�nission shall make written findings on the followinq: Architectural and historical merit of building, the effect on surrounding buildings, the effect of any new proposed construction on the rema.inder of the building �(in case of partial demolition) , and on surrounding buildings , the economic value or usefulness of building as it now exists, or if altered or modified in comparison with the value or usefulness of any proposed structures designated to replace the present building or buildings. " • B. HOUSE MOVING In evaluating proposals for moving of structures the following guidelines shall be used throughout the district: I. Permits for moving a structure offi property located within the Historic Hill District will be reviewed, using the guidelines for demolition. II. Structures being moved into the Historic Hill District or structures whose � relocation within the Historic Hill District has been approved (see above B1 ) , should be sited in conformity with Paragraph #1-III, IX of.Section C (below) and rehabilitated in accordance with Section D (below). C. NEW CONSTRUCTION Architectural diversity is characteristic of the Historic Hill District. • This diversity, within the district, gives it an overall pattern of harmony end continuity. Guidelines for new construction focus on general rather than specific design elements in order to encourage architectural innovation. Generally all structures should provide heigfit, massing, setback, materials and rhythm compatible to surrounding structures. The reproduction o.f historic �lesign and details is expensive, artificial , and is recommended only for some cases of in-fill or small scale construction. What is essential for new construction in the Historic Hill area is the maintenance of the scale and quality of design. In evaluating proposals for new construction, the following guidelines shall be used throughout the district: _ I. Setback - Siting New buildings should be sited at a distance not more than 5% out-of-line from the setback of existing adjacent buildings. Setbacks greater than those of adjacent bui`ldings may be allowed in some cases. Reduced setbacks may be acceptable at corners. This happens quite often in the Historic Hill area and can lend delightful variation to the street. .. < ._ Paaes 4. ' �f�'�� ' ^ � - 2��°� II. Garages and Parking � If an alley is adjacent to the dwelling, a new garage should be located off this alley. Where alleys do not exist, garages facing the street or driveway curb cuts may be acceptable. Garage doors should not face - the street. If this is found necessary, single garage doors should be used. Parking spaces should be adequately screened from the street and sidewalk by landscaping. III. Massing, Volume and Height New construction should conform to the massing, volume, height and scale of existing adjacent structures. Typical residential structures in the Historic Hill are 25 to 40 feet high. The height of new construction should be no lower than the average height of all buildings on both block faces; measurements should be made from street level to the highest point of the roofs. (This guideline does not supersede the city's forty foot height limitation. ) IV. Rhythm and Directional Emphasis The existence of uniform narrow lots in the Historic Hill naturally sets up a strong rhythm of buildings to open space. Historically any structure built on more than one lot used vertical facade elements to maintain and vary the overall rhythm of the street rather than interrupting the rhythm with a long monotonous facade. The directional expression of new construction should relate to that of existing adjacent structures. V. Roofs � There is a great variety of roof treatment on the Historic Nill but gable ' and hipped roofs are most common. The skyline or profile of new construction should relate to the predominant roof shape of existing adjacent buildings. VI. Materials and Detail Variety in the use of architectural materials and details adds to the intimacy and visual delight of the district. When first confronted with , � , . this variety, it is �easy to overlook the overall thread of continuity provided by the relatively limited palette of materials available to the turn-of-the-century builders. This thread of continuity is threatened by the availability of inappropriate materials and building parts in taday's expanded market-place. The purpose of this section is to encou,rage the proper use of appropriate materials and details. The materials and details of new construction should relate to the materials and details of existing adjacent buildings. While slate, cedar shakes and tile roofs are preferred, asphalt shinales which match their approximate color and texture are acceptable substitutes. Diagonal and vertical siding are generally unacceptable. Materials which imitate natural materials are not acceptable. Imitative materials such a�s asphalt siding, wood-textured metal siding or artificial stone should not be used. Four-inch metal siding, when well installed and carefully detai.led may be acceptable in some cases. Materials will be reviewed to determine their appropriat� use in relation to the overall design of the structure. � , � ' . ' ` � Page 5. ��cl,PV1� . � `�� VII. Windows and Doors The proportion, size, and detailing of windows and doors in new construction should relate to that of existing adjacent.buildings. Most windows on the Hill have a vertical orientation, with a proportion of between 2:1 . and 3:1 (height to width) corrQnon. Individual windows can sometimes be square or horizontal if the rest of building conveys the appropriate directional emphasis. Facade openings of the same general size as those in adjacent buildings are encouraged. l�Jooden double-hung windows are traditional on the Hill and should be the first choice when selecting new tNindows. When ordering double-hung windows, it is important to consider the directional emphasis of the mullions. Paired casement windows , although not historically common, will often prove acceptable because of their vertical orientation. Horizontal sliding windows and awning windows are not corrxnon in the district and would most often be undesirable because of their horizonta7 proportion. Although not usually improving the appearance of a building, the use of metal windows or doors need not necessarily ruin it. The important thing is that they should look like part of the building and not like raw metal appliances. Appropriately colored or bronzed-toned aluminum is acceptable. Mill finish (silver) aluminum should be avoided. VIII. Porches � In general , houses in the Historic Hill have roofed front porches, while in most modern construction the front porch has disappeared. These porches are a consistent visual element in the district and often introduce rhythmic variation, clarify scale or provide vertical facade elements. The porch treatment of new structures should relate to the porch treatment of existing adjacent structures. It is preferred that porches be left open, but screened or glassed-in porches may be acceptable if well detailed. Most, but not all , porches on the Hill are one story high. Along some streets where a • strong continuity of porch size or porch roof line exists, it may be preferable to duplicate these formal elements in new construction. The vertical elements supporting the porch roof are important. They should carry the visual as well as the actual weight of the porch roof. If a porch is not built, the transition from private to public space should be articulated with some other suitable design element. � IX. Landscaping . • � Typically open space on the Hill is divided into public, semi-public and private space. The public space of the street and sidewalk is often distinguished from the semi-public space of the front yard by a change in grade, a lo�a hedge or a visually open fence. The buildings, landscaping elements in front yards, and boulevard trees together provide a "wall of enclosure" for the street "room". Generally, landscaping which respects the street as a public room is encouraged. Enclosures which allow visual penetration of semi-public space areas, such as wrought-iron fences, painted picket fences, low hedges or limestone retaining walls, are characteristic of most of the Historic Hill area. This approach to landscaping and fences is encouraged in contrast to complete enclosure of semi-public space by an opaque fence, a tall "weathered'wood" fence or tall hedge rows. Cyclone fence should not be used in front and side.yards (half the depth of the house from the front). ` . P�r�e� 6. ^ . � �Q v11Q0 � �,,�� _ �'� ,�� _ ° ' For the intimate space of a sMallow setback, ground covers and low shrubs will provide more visual interest and require �ess maintenance than grass. When lots are left vacant, as green space� or parking area, a visual hole in the street "wall" may result.� Landscape treatment can eliminate this potential problem by providing a wall of enclosure for the street. The city should maintain boulevard trees when at all possible. The boulevard trees mark a separation between the automobile corridor and the rest of the streetscape. Traditional street. furniture of the area, such as early twentieth century lampposts or granite curb�s, should be preserved. D. RESTORATION AND REHABILITATION GeneraT Principles for Restoration and Rehabilitation: I. All work should be of a character and quality that maintains the distinguishing features of the building and the environment. The remoVal of architectural features is not recommended. ._ • II. Deteriorated architectural features should be repaired rather than replaced . whenever possible. In the event of replacement, new materials should match the original in composition, design, color, texture and appearance. Duplication of original design based on physical or pictorial evidence is preferable i to using conjectural or "period" ,designs or using parts of other buildings. � , ; III. ' Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship characteristic of structures of a period should be treated sensitively. Furthermore, if changes in use of a building are contemplated, they should be accomplished with minimum alteration to the structure and fabric. IV: In general , it is expected that buildings will be restored to their original appearance. However, alterations to buildings since their construction are sometimes significant because they 'reflect the histary of the building and neighborhood. This significance should be respected, and restoration to an "original" appearance may not always be desirable in some cases. All buildings should be recognized as products of their own time and not be altered to resemble buildings from an earlier era.' . In evaluating proposals for restoration or rehabilitation, the following guidelines shall be used throughout the district: I. Masonry and Foundations Original masonry and mortar should be retained whenever possible without the application of any surface treatment. Masonry should be cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration and always with the gentlest method possible, such as low pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. Brick and stone surfaces should not be sandblasted. This method of cleaning erodes the surface of the material and accelerates deterioration. � Chemical cleaning products which could have an adverse chemical reaction with the masonry material should not be used. Replacement mortar should match original mortar in composition, color and texture. Old r�ortar joint size and profile should also be retained. Repointing with mortar of high Portland cement content that can create a bond stronver than the original buildina material should not be done. The original or early color and texture of masonry surfaces should be retained. Paint should not be indiscriminately removed from masonry surfaces as some brick surfaces were originally meant - to be painted. . � ' ' ` � Pag��7. � � l(1�� . , . . _ . �• ', �� II. Siding and Surface Treatment Deteriorated siding material should be replaced with material used in original construction or with materials that resemble the appearance of the old as closely as possible. Resurfacing frame buildings with new � material which is inappropriate, such as artificial stone, artificial brick veneer, or asbestos and asphalt shingles, should not be done. Four-inch metal siding may be used in some cases to resurface clapboard structures if well detailed, well designed and �in keepinc with the historical character of the structure, III. Roofs The original roof shape should be preserved. Original roofing materials should also be retained unless deteriorated. When partially reroofing, deteriorated roof coverings should be replaced with new materials that match the old in composition, size, shape and texture. When entirely reroofing, new materials which differ to such an extent from the old in composition, size, shape, color or texture that the appearance of the building is altered should not be used. IV. k'=ndows and Doors Existing window and door openings should be retained. New window and door openings should not be introduced into the principal elevations. Enlarging or reducing window or door openings to fit stock window sash or new stock door sizes should not be done. Window sash, glass, lintels, sills, architraves, doors, pediments, hoods, steps and all har.dware should be retained. The size of window� panes or sash should not be altered. Such changes destroy the scale and proportion nf the building. Discarding . original doors and door hardware, when they can be repaired and reused in place, should be avoided. The stylistic period or periods a building represents should be respected. If replacement of window sash or doors is necessary, the replacement should duplicate the material , design and the hardware 'of the older window sash and door. Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum storm and screen window combinations, plastic or metal strip awnings, or fake shutters that disturb the character and appearance of the building should not be used. Combination storm . windows should have wood frames or be painted to match trim colors. U. Porches, Steps, Cornices and Applied Architectural Features Porches and steps which are appropriate to the building and its development should be retained. Porches and additions reflecting later styles of architecture are often important to the building's historical integrity and, whenever possible, should be retained. Similar material should be used to repair or replace, where necessary, deteriorated architectural features of wood, iron, cast iron, terra-cotta, tile and brick. Similar material should be used to replace missing architectural features such as cornices, brackets, railings and shutters, whenever possible. P�� 8 . - -�c��c�o � � � . �� . � �. SIGNS This section of the Hill District Design Guidelines is intended primarily for the few parts of the �District which are cortxnercially zoned. Generally, signs should be compatible with the character of the District, and blend with . the character of the structures on or near which they are placed. In evaluating permit applications for signs, the following guidelines will be used: I. Signs should not conceal architectural detail , clutter the buildings image, or distract from the unity of the facade; but rather should complement the overall design. II. Sign materials should complement the ma:terials of the related building and/or the adjacent buildings. Surface design elements should not detract f rom or conflict with the related structure's age and design. III. No facade should be damaged in the application of signs, except for mere attachment. . � 1� j� C,��0 , , • w . "°°��°`�"�� .

This district contains the largest concentration of excellent nineteenth century architecture in Saint Paul , and indeed, within the state. The recorrrnnnended ��storic Hill Heri- tage Preservation District includes Ramsey Hill , Woodland Park and part of Dayton Avenue. The Commission held a public hearing on December 11 , 1979 to discuss the pro- , posed district. The hearing was well-attended by residents who voiced strong support for district designation. No opposition was heard. (Hearing notice was sent to every owner in the district and notice was published in the Press, Dispatch, and neighborhood newspapers. ) The Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District is endorsed by the Ramsey Hill Association, Woodland Park Neighborhood Association, Neighbors Incorporated of Dayton Avenue, District Eight Planning Council , and District Sixteen Planning Council/Summit Hill Association. Petitioning by neighborhood groups showed that �wne�•� of the rrajority of pro�erties support the creation o�f this district. The Hill District's recommended preservation program is a set of design guide- lines, which will serve as the criteria for permit review decisions. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide assurance to property owners that Commission review of permit applications will be based on clear standards rather than the taste of individual Commission members. The Commission would be pleased to meet with the Council 's City Development Committee to discuss the district and guidelines. I have enclosed, for your information, a map, summary of the district's significance, Heritage Preservation Commission's resolution of recommendation, Planning Commission's resolution of approval , a letter from the neighborhood petition corr�nittee, a summary of the Commission's process in considering the district's designation, minutes of the public hearing, and design guidelines. In summary, �he Commission believes that the Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District is architecturally significant, has the support of residents and is a �J January 22, 1980 Page 2 ; , managable size. We sincerely hope the City Council will officially designate the Historic Hill Heritage, Preservation District.

This district, of nearly six hundred structures, contains the largest concentration of excellent nineteenth century architectural examples in St. Paul. The oldest area within the District, Ramsey Hill , was platted in 1854 (Dayton and Irvine's ', Addition). This area contains that stretch of Summit Avenue lined with the ! former residences of some of St. Paul's and America's most wealthy individuals. � The Avenue was first settled in the late 1850s but it was not until the 1870s ; and 1880s that the wealthy St. Paul merchant families began leaving Irvine ' - Park and the downtown area for the cliffs overlooking the Mississippi River and the small empire they had created. The mansions represent the accumulated wealth and influence of the few, but this nomination is concerned primarily with the excellent architecture of the Historic Hill. The Avenue reflects the great diversity of American architectural taste from the 1870s to the most recently built structure of 1977. F. Scott Fitzgerald saw the diversity but acknowledged it differently saying the Avenue was "a museum of American architectural failures." Fortunately, evolving architectural taste has seen fit to dispute his analysis, and this particular section of Summit Avenue is acknowledged to be one of the finest intact Victorian boulevards in the nation. The structures of the Nistoric Hill Historic District generally fall into the time range of the mid 1860s to 1900; however, the greatest number fall within the late 1870s and the early 1890s range. The land area is primarily residential in character with the exception of commercial structures along Selby from Dale to Arundel , as well as the commercial intersection of Selby and Western. Here Blair Flats (1887) will soon undergo renovation and the Dakotah Apartments built in 1889 by Hennessy, Agnew & Cox is fully �restored for contemporary use. This corner is a major pivotal axis of the district. The eastern terminus of Selby Avenue� at Summit Avenue is marked by the Cathedral of St. Paul , the primary landmark of the district, which was con- structed in 1906 on the site of the old Kittson Mansion. Extending north from Summit Avenue to Selby and Marshall and west to Dale and Grotto is a primarily residential area consisting of substantial houses of great impor±ance to the district. This area includes much of Ramsey Hil�, the Woodland Park neighborhood (platted in 1855; 1857 and 1870), and a portion of Dayton Avenue extending west from Woodland Park (platted in 1857). While they are generally not of the same quality as those found along Summit Avenue, these structures are representative of upper-middle-c�ass, late nineteenth century taste in architectural design. There are excellent examples of Queen Anne, Eastlake, Colonial Revival , and other eclectic styles of house design. � A majority of these homes were built during the building boom of the 1880s ; and 1890s when the original Ramsey Nill neighborhood was expanding to the ' north and west. Most are of frame construction with isolated examples of � brick and stone construction scattered throughout. Originally the majority � of residences were of a single family nature intermixed with an occasional , rowhouse or duplex. Now many of them are in use as multi-family dwelling; i this type of conversion took place along with a general deterioration in the physical condition of the houses and the area. But now homes are being � renovated and cared for in a manner befitting their original appearance. ; In addition to the general decline of the area over the years, it was also i subject to ill-conceived urban renewal projects during the 1960s which claimed many fine structures in the name of removal of "substandard" dwellings. Now there is a growing movement to preserve the remaining historic architecture and reconvert it along linesmore akin to the original uses. In general , the neighborhoods have retained the qualities of quiet, little trafficed streets, large residences on substantial lots, and a visual unity broken only by occasional vacant lots and contemporary in-fill housing.

Neighbors Inc. of Dayton Avenue December 6, 1979 ; , Mr. Ernest Sandeen, Chairperson Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Commission 25 West Fourth Street Saint Paul , Minnesota 55102 Dear t�lr. Sandeen: The Hill District Petition Committee is pleased to inform the Cormnission that owners of the majority of property in the proposed Hill District support designation of the Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District. Our Committee was formed in October by representatives of the three neighborhood associations within the proposed Hill District. Our purpose vaas to informally seek the support of our neighbors for this historic district. We asked property owners to sign a petition supporting district designation with the knowledge that the district would be covered by architectural controls. About twenty-five volunteer petitioners canvassed the district by block, using a list of property owners provided by the City's Assessment Division. There are 906 properties in the district; of these 568 are owned by individuals who live in the district, 210 are owned by absentee owners, 88 are owned by the Housing an:� Redevelopmen± Authority, and 40 are owned by churches or institutions. Since the HRA Board membership is the City Council , the Board is presumed to be "neutral" until the Council votes on the district's designation. Our petition indicates that owners of 63% of the private property in the district support desiqnation of the Historic Hill Heritag_e Preservation District. We have 513 signatures of support out of a possible 818, 906 less the 88 HRA property). Even if we include the HRA property we still find owners of 57q of all property supporting the district, (513 out of 906). If we look only at the residentially owned property, we see that owners of 86% of the property owned by those who live in the district support the district, (488 out of 568). We found an equal distribution of support in all individual blocks and in each neighborhood. The percentage of those not signing does not indicate a percentage of disapproval , as that group includes owners not home and hard-to-reach absentee owners. Mr. Ernest Sandeen, Chairperson Page 2 Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Commission December 6, 1979 We- feel that our petition indicates a broad base of citizen support for the Commission's proposed district. We are confident that this support will be evident at the Commission's Public Hearing on December 11. Once the hearing is held we encourage the Commission to recommend that City Council designate the Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District. Thank you very much.

Approximately seventy citizens attended the public hearing. PUBLIC HEARING Chairperson Sandeen called the hearing to order at 7:40 P.M. PRESENTATION ON PROPOSED HISTORIC HILL HERITAGE PRESERVATION DISTRICT AND PUBLIC 0 Y. Mr, Sandeen opened the hearing with a statement concerning public hearing procedure. He then introduced members of the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC� and staff. A brief explanation of the history and composition of the commission followed. Mr. Sandeen noted the primary charges of the HPC being the recorr�nnendation of historic sites and districts for designation, and the protection of these sites and districts through building permit review. Tyrone Burkette, Minister of the Dayton Avenue Presbyterian Church, was then introduced. He welcamed those attending and briefly described the history of the Dayton Avenue Church and the surrounding neighborhood. �ir•. Sarsdeen then reviewed the Historic Hill District deslgnatiun process. � Ae " highlighted key events in the progress of the district, including a key proposal in May, 1979 for a slightly smaller district. This district was expanded �o include the Woodland Park and Dayton Avenue areas in August, 1979 due to strong support for a district in those neighborhoods. Sandeen noted the petitioning of residents by neighborhood groups in October, which resulted in majority support of the district. Following the public hearing, the Commission will be able to recommend the district to the City Council. Action on the district by the City Council is possible by February, 1980. Mary Jane Keitel , HPC Intern, gave a slide presentation outlining the archi�ectural character of the district. The styles, quality and historical merit of the architecture were illustrated. Judy McLaughlin then reported on the results of the petitioning process, as reported in a letter from the Hill District Petition Committee. The Committee was made up of representatives from Ramsey Hill Association, Woodland Park Neighborhood Association and Neighbors� Ine. of Dayton Avenue. Their petitioning indicated owners of 63� of the private property in the district support its designation. Of the 568 residentially owned private properties, owners of 86% are in favor of the district. Lannie Oxton reviewed the design guidelines for the Historic Hill District. He stated the purpose of these flexible guidelines H�as to provide clear standards for permit review. He said the application of the guidelines will be considerate of the individual merits of the building or area under review, the cost or unavailability of materials, and economic hardship or deprivation of reasonable use. The guidelines cover demolition, moving, new construction, rehabilitation, and signage. Oxton stressed that the guidelines are flexible criteria and do not demand absolute restoration of details, but rather ask that the general character of a building or area be preserved. Mr. Sandeen restated the public hearing procedure, then opened up the meeting - for public testimony. The first to speak were the representatives of the neigh- borhood organizations and District 8 Planning Council . Chris Huck, 235 Summit, President of the Ramsey Hill Association, said that in the December 10 regular meeting of the Ramsey Hi11 Association, members voted unanimously to support th� District. Woodland Park Neighborhood Association President Ellen Read, 546 Marshall , noted reasons for that organization's strong support of the District, and autlined the . specific concerns of the Woodland Park group in regard to new construction in the District. Dennis Williams, a member of the Historic Hill Petition Committee, spoke next representing Neighbors Inc. of Dayton Avenue. He said that of his neighborhood's homeowners, made up of black and white households, 70% signed the petition supporting District designation. He stated that Neighbors Inc. of Dayton Avenue endorsed designation of the District. District 8 Planning Council President Shirley Henning, reported that the approval of the District was unanimous from both the executive board of the Planning Council and the full District 8 Planning Council . In the absence o� �istrict 16/summit Hill Assotiation representative Judy Bigelow, ° Mr. Sandeen read a letter from that organization. The association indicated their support of designating a district rather than individual structures and also endorsed the District. Next, citizens who previously called in wishing .to speak, were heard. Mike Hoffman, 405 Portland, voiced his support and his concern for the preservation of the residential character of the District. State Rep. , Fred Norton, co-author of the 1974 bill to establish a state historic district, spoke next. Although the State district was not implemented by the City Council , he said that the HPC District includes the most historic sections of the State district. He added that the design guidelines were sensible and that he supported district designation. Gail Thompson, 457 Holly Avenue, a member of the petitioning committee, said that opposition to the district during the peti�ioning process faded when all ramifications of the district designation were explained and understood by the residents. She stated her support for the District. -2- Neil Heideman, 699 Dayton, also a member of the petitioning committee, stated his concern for the protection of houses on Dayton Avenue and for new construction on the block between Dayton and St. Albans. He stated his support for the District. Mr. Sandeen read a letter received by the HPC from Mr. Ian Ball , who asked that the street on which he lives be considered as pa 'rt of the district. He lives near the intersection of Grand and Dale. Mr. Sandeen asked if others in the audience �would like to comment or ask questions. Morgan Nelson, Goodrich and Grotto, gave h�s support to the district and voiced special concern over the handling of new construction on Selby Avenue. Earl Atkinson, 634 Iglehart, asked if his receipt of a hearing notice indicated his home as in the District. Mr. Sandeen said that he received the notice because he was within .350 feet of the boundaries. Several informal questions from the audience were answered. There was no further testimony.

" � ` SAINT PAUL HISTORI'C HILL DISTRICT DESIGN GUIDELINES � INTRODUCTION and SUMMARY The St. Paul Heritage Preservation Commission is proposing a Heritage Preservation District for the Historic Hill area. The purpose of designating a Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District is to protect and enhance the unique architectural character of the Hill. This protection is provided through the review of building permit applications by the Heritage Preservation Cortmission. The Commission is empowered to review permit applications for demolition, house moving, new construction, changes on exteriors, or additions. The Commission does not review permit applications for interiors or exterior paint color. The Commission approves permits which are compatible with the historic character of the area and/or the particular structure and may disapprove any permit applications which are not compatible. The Comnission must review any permit application within 30 da�ys, and any decisions by the Comnission may be appealed to the City Council. (The Comnission cannot require any changes of the existing appearance of buildings within the District. It only reviews the proposed changes of building permit applications.) The Heritage Preservation Commission has approved a draft set of design guidelines which would serve as the basis for its permit review decisions in the Hill District.. The guidelines define the most important elements of the Hill District's unique physical appearance and state the best means of preserving and enhancing these elements in rehabilitation or new construction. These quidelines are not hard and fast regulations. They are flexible criteria. Their purpose is to provide assurance to property owners that permit review will be based on clear standards rather than the taste of individual Commission members. The guidelines will be interpreted with flexibility depending on the particular merit of the building or area under review. Consideration will be given to the unavailability or expense of historical materials. When applying the guidelines the Commission will also be considerate of clearly defined cases of economic hardship or deprivation of the owner of reasonable use of his/her property. The design guidelines cover five general areas: (1) demolition; (2) house moving; (3) new construction; (4) rehabilitation; and (5) signage. The demolition guidelines provide that the Cormiission shall review the architectural/ historical merit of the present building, and the comparative economic usefulness of the present building versus proposed new structures: (Designation of a district does not mean that demolition is forbidden. It simply means that every proposed demolition is reviewed by the Commission.) Proposals for moving a house off property within the district are reviewed with guidelines for demolition. Proposals for houses to be moved into the district are reviewed with the guidelines for new construction and rehabilitation. Guidelines for new construction focus on general rather than specific design elements in order to encourage quality contemporary design. In other words, they do not ask for the recreation of a Victorian styled building, but rather that the new structure's primary design elements (such as height or massing) fit in with the character of the nearby area. New structures should provide setback, massing, volume, height, materials, roof, window and door proportions, porches, and landscaping compatible to surrounding buildings. The guidelines for restoration and rehabilitation follow this general principle: "All work should be of a character and quality that maintains the distinguishing features of the building and the environment." They do not request absolute restoration of every original detail, but rather ask that the general character of a building or area be preserved. Guidelines cover specific areas such as masonry cleaning` and tuckpointing, siding, roofing, windows and doors, and porches. The guidelines for signage ask that the design and placement of signs harmonize with the character of the structures on or near which the signs are placed. Copies of the complete guidelines may be obtained by calling Terry Pfoutz, City Planning, 292-6229. . , � . � � q . . . . � ` ° ' --A .i - -- _ o 0 0 �. o : < r o o_ i o o --- I rp o� 1,' o - o � o -v �--i - - -_---- o t=.v y o li & o °o °o o° .O o� � o ° • � - 0 -o - _ ' -_ - " - -- :-$m o �' o ° � � � �� R �.�� ° °' -� - - q o __° _'_ � o o ��`-o a ' o _ 9 0• ..

PAUL HISTORIC HILL HERITAGE PRESERVATION DISTRICT DESIGN GUIDELINES A. DEMOLITION The Heritage Preservation Commission will follow the guidelines stated in the Heritage Preservation Ordinance (#16006)-, Section 6(I)(2) , when reviewing permit applications for demolition: "In the case of the proposed demolition of a building, prior to approval of said demolition, the Commission shall make written findings on the following: Architectural and historical merit of building, the effect on surrounding buildings, the effect of any new proposed construction on the remainder of the building (in case of partial demolition) , and on surrounding buildings , the economic value or usefulness of building as it now exists, or if altered or modified in comparison with the value or usefulness of any propnsed structures designated to replace the present building or buildings. " B. HOUSE MOVING In evaluating proposals for moving of structures the f�llowing guidelines shall be used throughout the district: I. Permits for moving a structure off property located within the Historic Hill District will be reviewed, using th� guidelines for demolition. II. Structures being moved into the Historic Hill District or structures whose relocation within the Historic Hill District has been approved (see above Bl ) , should be sited in conformity with Paragraph #1-III , IX of Section C (below) and rehabilitated in accordance with Section D (below) . C. NEW CONSTRUCTION Architectural diversity is characteristic of the Historic Hill District. This diversity, within the district, gives it an overall pattern of harmony and continuity. Guidelines for new construction focus on general rather than specific design elements in order to encourage architectural innovation. Generally all structures should provide height, massing, setback, materials and rhythm compatible to surrounding structures. The reproduction of historic �lesign and details is expensive, artificial , and is recommended only for some cases of in-fi11 or small scale construction. What is essential for new construction in the Historic Hill area is the maintenance of the scale and quality of design. In evaluating proposals for new construction, the following guidelines shall be used throughout the district: I. Setback - Siting New buildings should be sited at a distance not more than 5% out-of-line from the setback of existing adjacent buildings. Setbacks greater than those of adjacent buildings may be allowed in some cases. Reduced setbacks may be acceptable at corners. This happens quite often in the Historic Hill area and can lend delightful variation to the street. -2- . • : � � _ w II. Garages and Parking If an alley is adjacent to the dwelling, a new garage should be located off this alley. Where alleys do not exist, garages facing the street or driveway curb cuts may be acceptable. Garage doors should not face the street. If this is found necessary, single garage doors should be used. Parking spaces should be adequately screened from the street and sidewalk by landscaping. III. Massing, Volume and Height New construction should conform to the massing, volume, height and scale of existing adjacent structures. Typical residential structures in the Historic Hill are 25 to 40 feet high. The height of new construction should be no lower than the average height of all buildings on both block faces ; measurements should be made from street level to the highest point of the roofs. (This guideline does not supersede the city' s forty foot height limitation. ) IV. Rhythm and Directional Emphasis The existence of uniform narrow lots in the Historic Hill naturally sets up a strong rhythm of buildings to open space. Historically any structure built on more than one lot used vertical facade elements to maintain and vary the overall rhythm of the street rather than interrupting the rhythm with a long monotonous facade. The directional expression of new construction should relate to that of existing adjacent structures. V. Roofs There is a great variety of roof treatment on the Historic Hill but gable and hipped roofs are most common. The skyline or profile of new construction should relate to the predominant roof shape of existing adjacent buildings. VI. Materials and Detail Variety in the use of architectural materials and details adds to the intimacy and visual delight of the district. When first confronted with , this variety, it is easy to overlook the overall thread of continuity provided by the relatively limited palette of materials available to the turn-of-the-century builders. This thread of continuity is threatened by the availability of inappropriate materials and building parts in today's expanded market-place. The purpose of this section is to encourage the proper use of appropriate materials and details. The materials and details of new construction should relate to the materials and details of existing adjacent buildings. While slate, cedar shakes and tile roofs are preferred, asphalt shinales which match their approximate color and texture are acceptable substitutes. Diagonal and vertical siding are generally unacceptable. Materials which imitate natural materials are not acceptable. Imitative materials such as asphalt siding, wood-textured metal siding or artificial stone should not be used. Four-inch metal siding, when well installed and carefully detai.led may be acceptable in some cases. Materials will be reviewed to determine their appropriatQ use in relation to the overall design of the structure. ' : . , -3- VII. Windows and Doors The proportion, size, and detailing of windows and doors in new construction should relate to that of existing adjacent.buildings. Most windows on the Hill have a vertical orientatio,n, with a proportion of between 2:1 and 3:1 (height to width) corr�non. Individual windows can sometimes be square or horizontal if the rest of building conveys the appropriate directional emphasis. Facade openings of the same general size as those in adjacent buildings are encouraged. l�Jooden double-hung windows are traditional on the Hill and should be the first choice when selecting new windows. When ordering double-hung windows, it is important to consider the directional emphasis of the mullions. Paired casement windows, although not historically common, will often prove acceptable because of their vertical orientation. Horizontal sliding windows and awning windows �re not common in the district and would most often be undesirable because of their horizontal proportion. Although not usually improving the appearance of a building, the use of metal windows or doors need not necessarily ruin it. The important thing is that they should look like part of the building and not like raw metal appliances. Appropriately colored or bronzed-toned aluminum is acceptable. Mill finish (silver) aluminum should be avoided. VIII. Porches In general , houses in the Historic Hill have roofed front porches, while in most modern construction the front porch has disappeared. These porches are a consistent visual element in the district and often introduce rhythmic variation, clarify scale or provide vertical facade elements. The porch treatment of new structures should relate to the porch treatment of existing adjacent structures. It is preferred that porches be left open, but screened or glassed-in porches may be acceptable if well detailed. Most, but not all , porches on the Hill are one story high. Along some streets where a strong continuity of porch size or porch roof line exists, it may be preferable to duplicate these formal elements in new construction. The vertical elements supporting the porch roof are important. They should carry the visual as well as the actual weight of the porch roof. If a porch is not built, the transition from private to public space should be articulated with some other suitable design element. IX. Landscaping Typically open space on the Hill is divided into public, semi-public and private space. The public space of the street and sidewalk is often distinguished from the semi-public space of the front yard by a change in grade, a low hedge or a visually open fence. The buildings, landscaping elements in front yards, and boulevard trees together provide a "wall of enclosure" for the street "room". Generally, landscaping which respects the street as a public room is encouraged. Enclosures which allow visual penetration of semi-public space areas, such as wrought-iron fences, painted picket fences, low hedges or limestone retaining walls, are characteristic of most of the Historic Hill area. This approach to landscaping and fences is encouraged in contrast to complete enclosure of semi-public space by an opaque fence, a tall "weathered'wood" fence or tall hedge rows. Cyclone fence should not be used in front and side yards (half the depth of the house from the front). -4- ' . - . - + For the intimate space of a shallow setback, ground covers and low shrubs will provide more visual interest and require less maintenance than grass. When lots are left vacant, as green space or parking area, a visual hole in the street "wall" may result. Landscape treatment can eliminate this potential problem by providing a wall of enclosure for the street. The city should maintain boulevard trees when at all possible. The boulevard trees mark a separation between the automobile corridor and the rest of the streetscape. Traditional street furniture of the area, such as early twentieth century lampposts or granite curbs, should be preserved. D. RESTORATION AND REHABILITATION General Principles for Restoration and Rehabilitation: I. All work should be of a character and quality that maintains the distinguishing features of the building and the environment. The removal of architectural features is not recorr�ended. II. Deteriorated architectural features should be repaired rather than replaced whenever possible. In the event of replacement, new materials should match the original in composition, design, color, texture and appearance. Duplication of original design based on physical or pictorial evidence is preferable to using conjectural or "period" designs or using parts of other buildings. III. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship characteristic of structures of a period should be treated sensitively. Furthermore, if changes in use of a building are contemplated, they should be accomplished with minimum alteration to the structure and fabric. IV. In general , it is expected that buildings will be restored to their original appearance. However, alterations to buildings since their construction are sometimes significant because they reflect the history of the building and neighborhood. This significance should be respected, and restoration to an "original" appearance may not always be desirable in some cases. All buildings should be recognized as products of their own time and not be altered to resemble buildings from an earlier era. In evaluating proposals for restoration or rehabilitation, the following guidelines shall be used throughout the district: I. Masonry and Foundations Original masonry and mortar should be retained whenever possible without the application of any surface treatment. Masonry should be cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration and always with the gentlest method possible, such as low pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. Brick and stone surfaces should not be sandblasted. This method of cleaning erodes the surface of the material and accelerates deterioration. Chemical cleaning products which could have an adverse chemical reaction with the masonry material should not be used. Replacement mortar should match original mortar in composition, color and texture. Old mortar joint size and profile should also be retained. Repointing with mortar of high Portland cement content that can create a bond stronqer than the original buildina material should not be done. The original or early color and texture of masonry surfaces should be retained. Paint should not be indiscriminately removed from masonry surfaces as some brick surfaces were originally meant to be painted. . � � , -5- .. ' II. Siding and Surface Treatment Deteriorated siding material should be replaced with material used in original construction or with materials that resemble the appearance of the old as closely as possible. Resurfacing frame buildings with new material which is inappropriate, such as artificial stone, artificial brick veneer, or asbestos and asphalt shingles, should not be done. Four-inch � metal siding may be used in some cases to resurface clapboard structures if well detailed, well designed and in keepinc with the historical character of the structure. III. Roofs The original roof shape should be preserved. Original roofing materials should also be retained unless deteriorated. When partially reroofing, deteriorated roof coverings should be replaced with new materials that match the old in composition, size, shape and texture. When entirely reroofing, new materials which differ to such an extent from the old in composition, size, shape, color or texture that the appearance of the building is altered should not be used. IV. Windows and Doors Existing window and door openings should be retained. New window and door openings should not be introduced into the principal elevations. Enlarging or reducing window or door openings to fit stock window sash or new stock door sizes should not be done. Window sash, glass, lintels, sills , architraves, doors, pediments, hoods, steps and all hardware should be retained. The size of window panes or sash should not be altered. Such changes destroy the scale and proportion �f the building. Discarding original doors and door hardware, when they can be repaired and reused in place, should be avoided. The stylistic period or periods a building represents should be respected. If replacement of window sash or doors is necessary, the replacement should duplicate the material , design and the hardware of the older window sash and door. Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum storm and screen window combinations, plastic or metal strip awnings, or fake shutters that disturb the character and appearance of the building should not be used. Combination storm windows should have wood frames or be painted to match trim colors. V. Porches, Steps, Cornices and Applied Architectural Features Porches and steps which are appropriate to the building and its development should be retained. Porches and additions reflecting later styles of architecture are often important to the building's historical integrity and, whenever possible, should be retained. Similar material should be used to repair or replace, where necessary, deteriorated architectural features of wood, iron, cast iron, terra-cotta, tile and brick. Similar material should be used to replace missing architectural features such as cornices, brackets, railings and shutters, whenever possible. -6- : • . . • _ . * E. SIGIYS This section of the Hill District Design Guidelines is intended primarily for the few parts of the �District which are corranercially zoned. Generally, signs should be compatible with the character of the District, and blend with the character of the structures on or near which they are placed. In evaluating permit applications for signs, the following guidelines will be used: I. Signs should not conceal architectural detail , clutter the buildings image, or distract from the unity of the facade; but rather should complement the overall design. II. Sign materials should complement the materials of the related building and/or the adjacent buildings. Surface design elements should not detract from or conflict with the related structure's age and design. III. No facade should be damaged in the application of signs, except for mere. attachment. . - � . � H �E�MiT �E�iEw 6UILPIlYO VEPArRTMEN'f N�ERI'fAcGE PKESERVAc'(IDIy GOMM. • fUILVIIyD PERMI'f9 DtPPI.IEV FOR QcRE REVIEWEV �Y Pl,O�N IN9PEG10R .

The purpose of designating a Historie Hili Heritage Preservation District is to protect and enhance the unique architectural character of the Hill. This protection is provided through the review of building permit applicatior�s by the Heritage Preservation Corranission. The Commission is empowered to revievo permit applications for demolition, hause moving, new construction, changes on exteriors, or additions. The Commission does not review permit applica�.ions for interiors or exterior paint colar. The Commission approves permits which are compatible with the historic character of the area and/or the particular structure and may disapp�rove any permit applications which are not campatible. The Commissi�n must review any permi� application within 30 days, and any decisions by the Comnission may be appealed to the City Councile (The Comnission cannot require any changes of the existing appearance of buildings within the District. It only reviews the proposed changes of buildir�g permit appliGations.) The lieritage Preservation Comrrrission has approved a draf� s'et of design guideTines which would serve as .the basis for its permit review decisiuns in the Hill District. The guidelines define the most important elements of the Hill Distric�'s unique physical appearance and state the best means af preserving and enhancing these elements in rehabilitation or new construction. These quidelines are not hard and fast regulations. They are_flexible criteria. Their purpose is to provide assurance to property owners that permit review will be based on clear standard� rather fihan the �aste of individual Corr�nission members. The guid�lines wi11 be interpreted with flexibility depending on the particular merit of the building or area under review. Consideration will be given to the unavailability or expens� of his�orical materials. When app�ying th� guidelints the CoRanission will atso be considerate of ciearly defined cases of economic siardship or deprivation of the -owne�^ of reasanab�e use of his/her praperty. Th� design gui�elines c.over five general areas: (1� d�alit��,n; (2) hou�e �;�43r�; (3) new constructian; (4) rehabilitation; and (5j signage. The demolition g�idelin�s provid� that the CorrIInission shall re�ciew the architectural/ historical merit of the present building, and the comparative ecor►omic usefulness of the present building versus aroposed new structures. (Designation of a distl^ict does not rr�an that demolition is forbiddec�. It simply means that every propos€d demolition is reviewed hy the Corr�ission.j Proposals for moving a house off proper�y within the ciistrict are revierr�d with guidelines for de�nolition. Proposa7s for houses to be moved into the district are reviewed with the guidelines for new construction and rehabilitation. Guidelines for new construction focus on general ratfier than specific design elements in order to encour°age quality contemporary design. In other words, they dv not ask for the recreation oF a Vic�Qrian styled building, but rather that the new structure's primary design elements (such as height or massing) fit in with the character of the nearby area. P�ew structures should provide setback, rnassing, voTur�, height, materials, roof, windo�t and door proportions, porches, and landscaping compatible to surrounding buildings. The guidelines f�r restoration and rehabilitation follow this general principle: "All work should be o-F a character and quality that maintains the distinguishing features of the building and the environment." They do not request absolute restoration of every original detail, but rather ask that the �en�ral character of a building or area be presErved. Guidelines cover specific areas such as masonry cleaning and tuckpointing, siding, roofing, windows and doors, and porches. The guideTinPS for signa�e ask that the design and placement af signs harmonize with the character of the structures on or near which the signs are plac�d. Copies of the complete guidelines may be obtained by calling Terry Pfoutz, City Planning, 292-6229. _ `� . ti ,� -- , ; -. � - �_.� .a .__ -� �,� ,� � a � -. � . < � � Q.��r � ;-.: -o - . . ---- � � "° •- ° o . o • o .,{_ . ° o -a - -°--. t o `o 0 8° o 0 0 ' o ='C� o o. o • •r - --O o- - - ------- ° °e° !� o ; o 0 0 :.O o�.� a o --f— • O _a ° ..o '---� ' '-- ---- -"- . � < ° �� o , o o » u I r o o �_? . �� O p p ' p m p �1-p p. : U - i' 9 p' � O O.. ..p' ti.."

PAUL DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES ASSESSMENT DIVISION 113 CITY MALL ST.PAUL,MINNESOtA 55102 March 14, 1980 File � X 2236 Page Zoning File HPC The Council of the City of St. Paul will hold a public hearing in the Council Chambers of the City Hall and Court House (third floor) at 10:00 A.M. on April 3, 1980 on the: Heritage Preservation Commission's nomination of the Historic Hill Heritage Pres- ervation District -- This proposed municipal historic district, which includes Ramsey Hill, Woodland Park, and a section of Dayton Avenue, is bounded by portions of Marshall, Selby, and Iglehart Avenues on the north; Grotto and Dale Streets on the west; Oakland Avenue on the southwest; and Irvine Avenue on the southeast. The proposed Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District contains the largest concentration of excellent nineteenth century achitecture in St. Paul. The Heritage Preservation Commission, created in 1976, is a municipal body of twelve citizens (appointed by the Mayor) with the charge of recommending historic sites and districts to City Council. Once a Heritage Preservation District is designated, the Heritage Preservation Comm�ission is empowered to protect the dis- trict's historic architectural character by reviewing all building permit appli- cations for demolition, moving, new construction, or exterior changes. The Heri- tage Preservation Commission does not review proposed changes for interiors or exterior paint color. The Heritage Preservation Commission previously held a public hearing to discuss the Historic Aill Heritage Preservation District on December 11, 1979. If you would like further information about this proposed historic district, please contact Terry Pfoutz, City Planner for the Heritage Preservation Commis- sion; llth floor, City Hall Annex; 25 West Fourth Street; St. Paul, Minnesota 55102. Telephone Number 292-6229. This hearing notice has been sent to all property owners in the proposed district and within 350 feet of the boundaries. J. WILLIAM DONOVAN VALUATION AND ASSESSMENT ENGINEER _ � ' ....�w Y .'t � '� Pt�� .:; �:��_- �� CITY OF SAINT PAUL INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM DATE: April 2, 1980 T0: Saint Paul City Council Members FROM: Ernest Sandeen, Chairperson Heritage Preservation Commission RE: Public Hearing on Proposed Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District Tomorrow, April 3, the City Council will hold a final public hearing on the Commission' s recorrvnended Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District. The Corrmission has been p1eased to work so closely with the Council on this district. Most recently the City Development Corr�nittee voted its suppart for the Hill District. Designation by the full Council will provide prestige and protection for a part of Saint Paul which is nationally recognized for its architectural heritage. I am enclosing the following summary of the district for your convenience: LOCATION: The recommended Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District includes Ramsey Hill , Woodland Park, and part of Dayton Avenue. A map is attached. SIGNIFICANCE: The district contains the largest concentration of excellent nineteenth century architecture in the city and the state. PUBLIC SUPPORT: Petitioning by neighborhood groups indicates that owners of the majority of properties in the district support the district. Owners of 63q of private property support district designation. Owners of 86� of the property owned by those who live in the district support designation. The district is endorsed by District 8 Planning Council , District 16 Planning Council/Summit Hill Association, Ramsey Hill Association, Woodland Park Neighborhood Association, and Neighbors Incorporated of Dayton Avenue. PUBLIC HEARING: The Commission held a public hearing on December 11 , 1979. The hearing was well attended by residents who voiced strong support. There was no opposition. Notice was published and sent to all property owners within the district. PRESERVATION PROGRAM: The preservation program for the District is a set of flexible design guidelines which will serve as the criteria for permit review decisions. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide assurance to owners that the Comnission's review of propased changes will be based on clear standards rather than the taste of individual Commission members.
