AGENDA HEADING:
Resolution
Approving Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Iowa State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO), City of Des Moines, Hatch Development Group and
Robert W. McCammon for the MLK Brickstone
project regarding removal of the structure at 1039 19th Street.
SYNOPSIS:
Recommend
approval to enter into a MOA with the SHPO, City of Des Moines, Hatch
Development Group and Robert W. McCammon on the
proposed MLK Brickstone project. This
project involves allocation of $250,000 of City HOME funds for new construction
of 18 units of low income housing located in the 1000 block of 19th
Street. The developer is Hatch
Development Group, LLC, Jack Hatch and Ryan Galloway, Principals, 1312 Locust,
Des Moines, IA 50319. HOME funds will
fill a gap in financing and assure that units are
affordable to low income tenants. The
project involves the removal of 1039 19th Street, which has been
declared eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, the
removal of this house is considered an adverse effect to a historic property
and requires a MOA.
FISCAL IMPACT: NONE
Amount: N/A
Funding Source: N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The MLK Brickstone Project
will receive HOME funding from the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD), as well as the Federal Housing Tax Credits and Tax Credit
Assistance Program (TCAP). Because the project involves federal
funding, the City of
Des Moines, as the responsible entity, is required to conduct an environmental
review process in accordance with HUD regulations under the National
Environmental Policy Act and other provisions of the law that further the
purpose of NEPA, including Sections 101, 106 and 110 of the National Historic
Preservation Act.
As part of this process, the City
has consulted with the SHPO to determine the project Area of Potential Effects
(APE). Phase 1 construction of the MLK Brickstone
will require the developer to remove 1039 19th Street. During the
consultation process the City and SHPO have determined that 1039 19th
Street is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria
C, which means its removal would result in an adverse effect to a historic
property. The City has invited the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP)
to consult on the resolution of the adverse effect, but the ACHP has concluded that
its participation in the consultation process will not be necessary to resolve
the adverse effects. The Developer, City and the SHPO have come to an agreement
on the necessary steps to avoid an adverse effect, which is to move the house
to an appropriate lot in the surrounding neighborhood(s). This undertaking shall be implemented in
accordance with the stipulations outlined in the MOA that will be on file in
the City Clerk’s Office. The MOA must be signed by all parties involved, which
includes the Mayor, on behalf of the City of Des Moines.
