AGENDA ITEM NO. __ 3 __ _
Staff finds that the application for a certificate of appropriateness is not compliant with Pocatello Municipal Code
Section 17.04.210. Should the Historic Preservation Commission approve the request, staff recommends the following
conditions: • New window frames shall be wood or wood with metal cladding and shall match the proportions of the original
windows. This shall include all replacement windows on Main Street, Center Street and Union Pacific Avenue;• New window frames shall match the detailing of the original window frames;

REQUEST:
BB&T Rental Properties, LLC, represented by Chris Petersen, has submitted an application for a certificate of
appropriateness to replace the upper story windows at 102 S. Main Street, the Pioneer Block Building.
BACKGROUND:
The Pioneer Block, was built in 1892. The Inventory-Nomination Form for the Downtown Pocatello Historic District listing
on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 states, "The store fronts of the two-story brick Pioneer Building have
been remodeled and the second floor has been covered with aluminum panels. The original brick, including the
corbelled cornice and pilasters, is still intact behind the panels. The building is currently non-contributory, but if it were
properly rehabilitated it would become contributory to the district. Constructed in 1892, the Pioneer Building was one of
the first brick business buildings in Pocatello. It originally housed the First National Bank, organized in Pocatello in 1889.
The bank was initially located in a small frame building on this site and was given five years free rent there for locating
on the west side of the railroad tracks. In April of 1915 the bank was merged with the Farmers and Traders Bank, of
which Carl Valentine was president. Valentine became president of the consolidated bank, which was moved in 1916 to
a new building on the east corner of Center and Arthur streets."
DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR POCATELLO'S DOWNTOWN HISTORIC DISTRICT:
Staff finds the following standards identified in the design guidelines for the downtown historic district to be applicable
to this application:
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER I VETERAN'S PREFERENCE
1. Exterior alterations and changes should be kept to a minimum.
- Windows should be repaired whenever possible rather than replaced. New frames must match the proportions
of the original. In most cases, wood is the historically appropriate and preferred window frame material.
2. The building should conform to surrounding buildings and other street features.
3. Every effort should be made to maintain and preserve the building's original materials and colors.
4. Original and distinctive architectural details should be retained or restored.
5. Signs should be architecturally compatible with the design of the original or proposed building.
THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR'S STANDARDS FOR THE TREATMENT OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES:
Staff finds the following standards identified in the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic
Properties to be applicable to this application (See Attachment B):
"Rehabilitation is defined as the act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through repair,
alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural
values."
Standards for Rehabilitation:
1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive
materials, features, spaces and spatial relationships.
2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration
of features, spaces and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided.
3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use. Changes that create a false sense of
historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be
undertaken.
4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize
the restoration period will be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires
replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture and, where possible,
materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments
that cause damage to historic materials will not be used.
8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be distributed, mitigation
measures will be undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and
spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be
compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the
property and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the
future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.
OPTIONAL MOTIONS:
1. Approval of the Application: "Move to approve the request from BB&T Rental Properties for new windows, finding
the application meets the criteria for review under Chapter 17.04.210.1 of Pocatello City Code as well as the Design
Guidelines for Pocatello's Downtown Historic District as well as the National Standards, with the condition that: [insert
any additional conditions of approval] and authorize the Chair to sign the Certificate of Appropriateness"
2. Denial of the Application: "Move to deny the request from BB&T Rental Properties for new windows, finding the
application does not meet the criteria for review under Chapter 17.04.210.1 of Pocatello City Code nor the Design
Certificate of Appropriateness - 102 S. Main Street - Pioneer Block

Designing the Replacement for Missing Historic Features
Designing and installing a new window or its components, such
as frames, sash, and glazing, when the historic feature is com
pletely missing. It may be an accurate restoration based on
documentary and physical evidence, but only when the historic
feature to be replaced coexisted with the features currently on
the building. Or, it may be a new design that is compatible with
the size, scale, material, and color of the historic building.
Creating an inaccurate appearance because the replacement for the
missing window is based upon insufficient physical or historic docu
mentation, is not a compatible design, or because the feature to be
replaced did not coexist with the features currently on the building.

RECOMMENDED
Alterations and Additions for a New Use
Adding new window openings on rear or other secondary, less
visible elevations, if required by a new use. The new openings
and the windows in them should be compatible with the overall
design of the building but. in most cases, not duplicate the
historic fenestration.
Replacing windows that are too deteriorated to repair using the
same sash and pane configuration, but with new windows that
operate differently, if necessary, to accommodate a new use.
Any change must have minimal visual impact. Examples could
include replacing hopper or awning windows with casement
windows, or adding a realigned and enlarged operable portion of
industrial steel windows to meet life-safety codes.
Installing impact-resistant glazing, when necessary for security,
so that it is compatible with the historic windows and does not
damage them or negatively impact their character.
Using compatible window treatments (such as frosted glass,
appropriate shades or blinds, or shutters) to retain the historic
character of the bui I ding when it is necessary to conceal mechan
ical equipment, for example, that the new use requires be placed
in a location behind a window or windows on a primary or highly
visible elevation.
NOT RECOMMENDED
Changing the number, location, size, or glazing pattern of windows
on primary or highly-visible elevations which will alter the historic
character of the building.
Cutting new openings on character-defining elevations or cutting
new openings that damage or destroy significant features.
Adding balconies at existing window openings or new window open
ings on primary or other highly -visible elevations where balconies
never existed and, therefore, would be incompatible with the his
toric character of the building.
Replacing a window that contributes to the historic character of
the building with a new window that is different in design (such as
glass divisions or muntin profiles), dimensions, materials (wood,
metal, or glass), finish or color, or location that will have a notice
ably different appearance from the historic windows, which may
negatively impact the character of the building.
Installing impact-resistant glazing, when necessary for security, that
is incompatible with the historic windows and that damages them
or negatively impacts their character.
Removing a character-defining window to conceal mechanical
equipment or to provide privacy for a new use of the building by
blocking up the opening.

GRANT GUIDELINES
ABOUT IHC
In 1973 the Idaho Humanities Council was founded as an independent, non-profit organization to promote
greater public awareness, appreciation, and understanding of the humanities in Idaho. Through history,
literature, languages, philosophy, law, cultural anthropology, comparative religions, and other humanities
disciplines, the humanities inspire reflective, contemplative, intellectual discovery and the quiet, often solitary
questioning that reveals to us what we value most in life. At the same time the humanities thrive on civic
dialogue and lifelong learning for all citizens.
Therefore, in its most distilled language, the mission of the Idaho Humanities Council is to provide Idaho
citizens with opportunities to deepen understanding of human experience by connecting people with ideas.
The overriding vision of the Idaho Humanities Council is that the humanities inspire a more literate, tolerant
and intellectually inquisitive Idaho citizenry, better able to embrace life's possibilities.
The Council plans and conducts projects on its own and in cooperation with other organizations such as
universities, colleges, libraries, civic clubs, professional associations, historical societies and museums, and
other cultural, educational, and community entities. IHC also provides grant support for humanities projects
throughout Idaho.

THE HUMANITIES DISCIPLINES
Congress defined the humanities as a set of academic disciplines when it established the National Endowment
for the Humanities in 1965. These disciplines include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following fields:
► History
► Philosophy
► Language - both modern and classical
► Linguistics
► Literature
► Archaeology
► Jurisprudence
► Comparative religion
► Ethics
► History, criticism, and theory of the arts
► Those social sciences employing historical or philosophical approaches to their content. This
may include cultural anthropology, sociology, political theory, international relations, and other
subjects concerned with questions of human nature.
► The study and application of the humanities to the human environment with particular
attention to reflecting our diverse heritage, traditions, and history and to the relevance of the
humanities to the conditions of national life.
The humanities encompass both particular methods of inquiry (dialogue, historical and logical analysis) as well
as particular bodies of knowledge such as history, philosophy, and literature.
THE ARTS AND THE SCIENCES
VS. THE HUMANITIES
Since the arts and sciences and the humanities are so closely linked, it sometimes seems unclear what
constitutes a humanities project. For purposes of project support, IHC makes these distinctions. IHC does not
fund activities that chiefly involve the creation, exhibition, or performance of the arts. IHC might fund
activities that focus on art history or criticism. The simple distinction is interpretation vs. performance or
expression. Similarly, IHC does not fund science projects dealing with research or dissemination of scientific
data, but might fund projects exploring the history of science, critically assessing scientific premises or
findings, or examining the ethical considerations inherent in scientific discoveries or technological
developments.

WHO CAN APPLY?
Any non-profit organization, institution, individual, or ad hoc group may receive a grant. Examples of eligible
applicants include, but are not limited to:
► Social service organizations and clubs
► Churches
► State and local governmental agencies
► Business and professional groups
► Schools
► Corporations
► Public radio and television stations
► Museums
► Historical societies
► Public libraries
► Arts organizations
► Colleges and Universities
Informal groups organized solely to submit a grant may also apply for funding. Applicants need not be
incorporated as a non-profit organization or have official tax-exempt status, but they must be able to
demonstrate that they are "not for profit" and that they can manage all aspects of the project adequately.
DUNS NUMBER REQUIREMENT
The federal government requires that all grantee organizations have a DUNS (Data Universal Numbering
System) number. Please contact your administrative or grants office to get your DUNS number. This
requirement does not apply to individuals.
If your organization does not have a DUNS number, the following web page explains how to obtain one:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/grants/duns num guide.pdf
You can also acquire a DUNS number by visiting this website: http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform

PROJECT FORMATS
Virtually every practical format has been used in IHC-funded projects. Often several formats may contribute
to the presentation of topics in one project. You will be asked to specify on the application the event type for
your project from the following categories:
► Media - (Film, Television, Radio)
► Digital - (Web and Social Media)
► Publications - (Newspaper (not press releases), Magazines, Catalogues, Guides, Books)
► Exhibits
► Discussion Programs (Book, Film, Lecture)
► Conferences and Symposia
► Festivals (Book, Film, Theater, Fairs, Other Celebrations)
► Performances and Presentations (Including Living History)
► Projects for K-12 Teachers (Institutes, Workshops, Curricular Projects)
► Projects for Students (Authors or Scholars in Schools, Field Trips, History Day, Oral History)
► Preservation and Access Projects
► Local history Projects (Cultural Heritage, Walking Tours, Local Oral History Projects)
RESEARCH, BOOK PUBLICATION, FILM PRODUCTION, AND CURRICULUM
DEVELOPMENT
IHC rarely funds pure research, except through its Research Fellowship program, though most successful
public projects require some research in preparation for the central discussion features.
IHC funds relatively few book publications. IHC can, however, fund honoraria for scholars to write essays for
tabloids and books, provided the publications are likely to reach large public audiences and promote
understanding and appreciation of the humanities.
The Council funds relatively few film projects. Because of special considerations relating to film projects (high
costs, length of time from scripting to production to distribution, the difficulties of obtaining broadcast
commitments, etc.), the Council encourages film project applicants to show adequate financial support from
parties other than IHC. The Council also encourages applicants to provide pilots, rough-cuts, or previous work
samples to accompany media proposals.
Except for Teacher Incentive Grants, IHC rarely funds curriculum development.
