Preservation Howard County
Process for "Endangered" Sites
|
|
Criteria
Objective criteria pertain to the validity of the nomination.
- Historical significance. Documentation and prior listing on
other preservation lists are considered.
- Are regulatory provisions in place to protect the subject? Are
they pending? Are there future limitations on growth?
- Have there been previous attempts at preservation or protection?
- Ownership. Is the subject public or private? Are there any
unsettled or disputed inheritance concerns?
Subjective criteria pertain to the likelihood of success. Successful
preservation or protection not only saves a subject, it also encourages
communities to engage in further efforts.
- Is there a potential for adaptive reuse?
- How serious is the physical threat?
- Political threat. In addition to the conditions described in the
definition, it is also important to determine if there will be
community support for preservation or protection.
- Diversity. As much as possible, the endangered subjects should be
uniformly distributed over the County by location and type.
Selection
- Both objective and subjective criteria will be used, but with no preset
balance.
- The selection committee should, at a minimum, consist of representatives
from PHC and community or homeowner associations. Consideration should also be
given to the academic community, other historic Trusts, and professional societies
in the disciplines of architecture, agriculture, and civil engineering.
Government should be available in an advisory role.
- Items to be determined;
- Appeal process
- Parameters of the endangered list (how
many, periodicity, etc.)
- Publicity
