During my 11 yeazs of practice as an azchitect, I have been exposed to projects involving :-„ .-
historical preservation. I am aware of the public and privata issues that aie involved in :"
historical preservation and this awareness of issues would allow me to maintain a balanced -.
perspective. Protecting the heritage of SL Paul is irnpbrtant in maintaining its continuity °_-
of relationships as the, community evolyes. My training and expenence would be an asset
to the Commission and help promote the effort of presezvation as an opportnnity, not a-
restdction. � - '
I believe my career as an uchitect would aiso benefit the Saint Paul Port Authority. The
practice of architecture requires on a daily basis, hour to hour, planning and problem
solving, from the micro to macro and back again. From this conditioning I have -
developed sldlls for detailed inquiry and creative�tf analysis that can be useful to the Port
Authority.
My experience demonstrating sldlls useful to the Human Rights Comrnission and
Affirmative Action Advisory Committee are on a more personal level. Having actively
been involved with Amnesty Intemational in the past and participarion in community
roundtable discussions on racism in St. Paul more recently, m;n;mally reflect the depth of
my passion and desire for social faimess and opportunity, and understanding of the need
to insure the protection of the rights of individuals.

nia!t:�ccuvt.lnicuur DearMayorColeman:
In August 1991, I moved to St. Paul from Omaha to assume a position with
BWBR Architects. The mofivafion was a desire for greater opportunity and the
proverbial "greener pasture". The effort at that fime has resulted in safisfacflon
greater than I had anticipated. In the three years that I have lived in St Paul, I
have gmwn to love the community and its resources. I purchased a home last yeaz
which I am presenfly restoring and was married this July. I am pleased to now call
St. Paul home.
I am in the posiflon to conuibute time and experience to the community that is
home, and I would very much like to volunteer my talents to one of the citizen
committees with openings, as announced in your press release dated June 20, 1994.
I am a registered azchitect wi[h some experience in historical preservation both
from a public and private interest perspective. I would be very interested in serving
on the Heritage Presetvadon Commission.
My interest and ability is not limited to heritage preservation and as aitemate
avenues to volunteering my talents, I would be willing to serve on the Saint Paul
Port Authority, Human Rights Commission, and Affinuative Action Advisory
Committee, in order of preference respecflvely.
Attached is my applicarion and a professional r�sum� for your use. Should you or
anyone else have any quesrions, please do not hesitate to call. I look forwazd to the
favor of your reply.
Sincerely,

What skills/t=aining or experience do you posaess for the corrunittee for which you seek appoinGnent?
Over five yeazs experience with MacDonald and Mack Architects, speciatisu in historic preservation
and restoration, have provided me with a strong background in Architectural Design and how it
direcfly relates to working with historic buildings. I have been involved in a broad scope of projects
ranging from Historic Structures Reports, HABS / AAER documentation and accurate restoration to
adaptive use of historic buildings and new construction in Historic Districts. I have worked closely
with the Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission through design development to approval of
several projects.
I have had the good fortune to be involved in many challenging and rewazding projects, among them
was the e�austive reseazch and investigation for the interior restoration work at the Sioux Falls
County Courthouse which received an AIA Honor Awazd. Conceptual designs for the SuperAmerica
Corporation led to the cunstruction of their new store at Lowertown, Saint Paul which was recognized
by the Saint Paul HPC. Current projects include the renovation of the porches at 442 3ummit
Avenue, prepazation of Historic Structures Reports and documentation of three properties on Grand
Island, Michigan for the National Forest Service, and providing handicap accessibility and
reconstruction of a historic entry at the Lake City City Hall. I have also designed numerous
residentiai projects throughout the metropolitan azea all of which have involved work with oid
buildings.
In addition to work at MacDonald and Mack, I do free-lance design of small-scale residentiai
remodeling and additions to older homes primarily in my neighborhood. I have completely renovated
my home in Saint Paul, and was honored to have it included in this year's Summit Hill House Tour.
Undergraduate studies as a Classics major at Macalester College brought me to Saint Paul in 1979,
after which I completed a degree in Architectural Design at Drake University. During subsequent
study at Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and graduate work at the University of Minnesota
Schooi of Architecture, it became evident to me the focus of my interest lay in issues surrounding the
integrity of historic buiidings and historic neighborhoods. I have a strong background in the history
of furniture and interior design, and have studied azchitecture history and historic preservation
process.

Reasons for you interest in Utis partiwlar committee:
Serving on the Saint Paul Aeritage Preservation Commission would be a privilege. Having
considered several other options, I live in Saint Paul by choice. It is important to me to be an active
member of the community and to offer my interests and talents for service. We have a responsibility
to provide for the continuation of the quality of life which Saint Paul has offered its generations of
residents. Part of this quality is a connectedness to the past, and careful planning for the future. The
HPC has the unique opportuniry to guide the residents of a city to a greater understanding and respect
for their heritage through the built environment. I would like to be a part of this development, to
assist in the care of our city's integriry. While many recognize the significance of preserving the
majesty of Summit Avenue, I believe it is important to include all aspects of the city's diversity when
considering the preservation of our heritage. We all must be responsible conservators of the small
bits of Saint Paui we briefly own and affect.
Have you had previous contact with the convnittee for wMch you are making applicaaon?
Yes, I have attended meetings on occasion.

Reference: Application of David Heide to serve on the Heritage Preservation Commission
Deaz Mayor Scheibel:
Stuart MacDonald, AIA
Robert C. �,fack. FAIA
It is with pleasure that I write to recommend David Heide for service on the Saint Paul Heritage
Preservation Commission. I have known David for seven yeazs, first as one of my students at the
Minneapolis College of Art and Design and, for the past five years, as an employee of my firm.
During this time David has shown both keen interest and growing skili in all aspects of work with
historic build'sngs.
Since joining our firm David has worked on a wide vaziety of historic buildings, ranging from
restoration of the Old Minnehaha County Courthouse in Sioux Falis, South Dakota, to an addition to
a house in the Milwaukee Avenue Aistoric District. In each case David has been able to recognize
the needs of the client while developing designs which meet applicabie regulations and guidelines. In
several instances David has made presentations concerning these projects to the appropriate Heritage
Preservation Commission, so he understands how the commissions operate and what it feels like to be
in the position of the applicant.
David recognizes the value of our historic resources and hopes to be able to assist in their
preservation. He is willing to stand up for his beliefs but, at the same time, he understands the needs
of building owners. Thus he brings a balance which I believe is essential for effective service on a
preservation commission.
Again, I strongly recommend the appointment of David Heide to the Saint Paul Heritage Preservation
Commission. I would be glad to provide any additional information you or your staff may find
helpful.
Sincerely yours,

personal integrity.
I recommend Mr. Heide without reservation to an appointment with
the Heritage Preservation Commission. Mr. Heide would represent
the Commission and the City of St. Paul in an outstanding manner.

I am writing to endorse David HEIDE as a member of the
Heritage Presexvation Commission.
Mr. Heide was, as you may remember, appointed to the
Commission by Mayor Scheibel in the previous
administration. Knowing of Mr. Heide's neighborhood
activism and his concern that our past be meaningfully
preserved, I was pleased that he would be serving with me
on the Commission. We are moving, I am pleased to say,
toward a more activist stance, a Cormnission that involves
itself with communities and responsive to neighborhood
concerns, particularly as they relate to the preservation
of cultural heritage. David Heide would make
contributions to this effort.
I'd ask that you speak with Chris TROST of the Summit Hill
Association; I�m sure she will speak eloquently of Mr.
Heide�s contributions, as she knows of them first-hand.
Thank you for your consideration.
