(a) Apply criteria of adverse effect. In consultation with the SHPO/THPO and any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization that attaches religious and cultural significance to identified historic properties, the agency official shall apply the criteria of adverse effect to historic properties within the area of potential effects. The agency official shall consider any views concerning such effects which have been provided by consulting parties and the public. (1) Criteria of adverse effect. An adverse effect is found when an undertaking may alter, directly or indirectly, any of the characteristics of a historic property that qualify the property for inclusion in the National Register in a manner that would diminish the integrity of the property's location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, or association. Consideration shall be given to all qualifying characteristics of a historic property, including those that may have been identified subsequent to the original evaluation of the property's eligibility for the National Register. Adverse effects may include reasonably foreseeable effects caused by the undertaking that may occur later in time, be farther removed in distance or be cumulative. (2) Examples of adverse effects. Adverse effects on historic properties include, but are not limited to: (i) Physical destruction of or damage to all or part of the property; 6(ii) Alteration of a property, including restoration, rehabilitation, repair, maintenance, stabilization, hazardous material remediation and provision of handicapped access, that is not consistent with the Secretary's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (36 CFR part 68) and applicable guidelines; (iii) Removal of the property from its historic location; (iv) Change of the character of the property's use or of physical features within the property's setting that contribute to its historic significance; (v) Introduction of visual, atmospheric or audible elements that diminish the integrity of the property's significant historic features; (vi) Neglect of a property which causes its deterioration, except where such neglect and deterioration are recognized qualities of a property of religious and cultural significance to an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization; and (vii) Transfer, lease, or sale of property out of Federal ownership or control without adequate and legally enforceable restrictions or conditions to ensure long-term preservation of the property's historic significance. (3) Phased application of criteria. Where alternatives under consideration consist of corridors or large land areas, or where access to properties is restricted, the agency official may use a phased process in applying the criteria of adverse effect consistent with phased identification and evaluation efforts conducted pursuant to § 800.4(b)(2) Blaine O.

Please state the objectives, the work to be performed, how the project relates to the goals set forth in the Idaho State Historic Pteservation Plan, how the project relates to any local goals or objectives, and how the project will meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards. In April of 2013 Meridian Mayor Tammy De Weerd assembled a subcommittee of interested business owners, Historic Preservation Commissioners (HPC), MDC members, and City staff to discuss ways to update the Walking Tout and to increase public awareness of Meridian's history. It is through the partnerships and joint efforts of these committee members that the hictidian Historic Walking Tour was updated and te-launched in May of 2014. The second phase of the tout, documenting eleven new sites, launched in May of 2015. In 2015, HPC won the Cultural Heritage Preservation Orchid Award for this program. Based on the success of these two phases, HPC is interested in updating and combining the separate brochures into one cohesive booklet. These updates will reflect community suggestions and feedback that HPC has received since its launch. This project will also leverage existing technology initiatives being made by HPC highlighting assets on the Meridian Historic Walking Tour. Final Products CLG grant projects should result in a tangible product. Provide a detailed and specific list of the expected final products. Typical products include but are not limited to survey reports and forms; published document (e.g. walking tour guide); a National Register nomination; or similar. In some cases, the product may be an activity like a lecture or workshop. A short narrative describing the event must be submitted to the SHPO at the completion of the project. The narrative will describe the number of people attending, who composed the audience, and whether the project was carried out according to the proposal. HPC's final product is a 45-50 page, bound, historic walking tour booklet. This booklet will include: Historic photos, present day photos, cultural narratives, QR codes, and map location of twenty-thtee (23) historic downtown properties.

This year's Orchid in Excellence In Historic Preservation went to the Owyhee Hotel, Intermountain Gas Company Headquarters received an award for Heritage Stewardship maintaining that decades of investment in maintenance and care by its owner have left it much as it appeared at its completion in 1965. Every year, Preservation Idaho hosts the Orchids and Onions Awards, an awards ceremony designed to celebrate individuals and organizations that have made a positive contribution to historic preservation in Idaho, and in turn to bring awareness to those projects that have shown insensitivity to the state's cultural history. hUp:IA&ww.mymerldianpress.com/news/meridian-walking-tours-recognized-in4h-annual-orchids-and-onions/article 74f4aed4-16lb-11e5-8842-771625d91181.... 1/1 12/21/2016 Meridian Historic Walking Tour I Preservation Idaho Meridian Historic Walking Tour Meridian Established in 1893, Meridian was incorporated as a village in 1903 with a population of approximately 200 and a bustling business center. A creamery was built in 1897, and other dairy -related businesses followed, as Meridian established itself as a dairy center for the southwestern corner of the state. Historically a small community centered on agriculture, the city's proximity to Boise has propelled it into the fastest growing city in Idaho since 1994, with the population tripling between 1990 and 2000, and more than doubling between 2000 and 2007. Since formation in 1986, the Meridian Historical Society has focused attention on the city's architectural and agrarian past. First created by the historical society for the town's centennial in 1993, the Meridian Historic Walking Tour has been completely revamped and modernized for the digital era. A partnership between the City of Meridian and its historic preservation commission and the Meridian Development Corporation, the revised tour allows the public to access brochures at various locations throughout downtown. QR codes link each site on the tour to a digital platform which contains additional information not included in the brochure, and kiosks allow the public to orient themselves to their location within the tour. This public-private partnership has also enlisted the help of local elementary school students who provided their own content to the website. The success of the 2014 project has inspired a new phase of the tour that was unveiled this month. For the conceptualization, creation, and implementation of the Meridian Historic Walking Tour, Preservation Idaho is proud to recognize Meridian with an Orchid Award for Cultural Heritage Preservation.

News & Press: Why Cities Matter 0, Email to a Friend Meridian Historic Walking "Tour (City of Meridian) Monday, November 9, 2015 Posted by; Gay Dawn Oyler Share I The City of Meridian and Meridian Development Corporation (MDC) believe preserving Meridian's history is a vital part of retaining the character and heart of our community. Historic homes and buildings have been identified as valuable and integral to the fabric of Meridian and therefore should be noted and honored bytheir inclusion in Meridian's Historic Walking Tour. Originally created by the Meridian Historical Society and launched in the 1990s; the Meridian Historic Walking Tour began as a trifold brochure that featured 24 different historic structures. Each property had a photo and brief description listed in the brochure which was available at Meridian City Hall or through the Meridian Historical Society. This tour was a hidden treasure in the community because it was not well advertised and there was not a large forum to promote the tour and its content. In April of 2013 Meridian Mayor Tammy de Weerd assembled a subcommittee of interested business owners, Historic Preservation Commissioners (HPC), MDC members, and City staff to discuss ways to update the Walking Tour and to increase public awareness of Meridian's history. It is through the partnerships and joint efforts of these committee members the Meridian Historic Walking Tour was updated and re -launched in May of 2014. It was determined early on the way to increase awareness and availability of the tour was for the information to be presented in multiple formats. While hard copy brochures are helpful to some users other prefer an electronic format. The group identified twelve of the original properties to be included in Phase One of the updated tour. Each property was researched in greater detail and histories documented online through the City of Meridian's webpage. Offering an electronic format of the tour allows for continuous editing and adding of content without spending additional funds; therefore, the subcommittee quickly concluded the main content of the tour would be made available online and a hardcopy of the brochure would be offered as a secondary form. Members of the public could experience the tour without ever leaving their homes. MENU Sign In Username Password Sign In Forgot your password? Haven't registered yet?

It was agreed that using Quick Read (QR) Codes was the ideal way to linl<the formats. A QR code is a smart tag acting as an Internet link to a variety of information for people using a smart device. Users can launch an app and scan the QR Code with the camera from their smart device. Once scanned the device automatically launches the website corresponding to the data stored in the QR Code. Each property on the Walking Tour now has a I webpage and each webpage has a QR Code that can be printed on any brochures or promotional materials, creating endless opportunities. Content Including narratives, photos and videos were uploaded to each website and the use of QR codes allowed the same information to be accessible across many devices such as a stationary desktop and mobile devices. The Committee completed Phase One by selecting the method of distribution for the brochures. The design, fabrication and installation of a panel sign was contracted to a third party vendor and ultimately installed in Meridian City Hall Plaza. The panel, made of fossil grade material, showcases a map of the tour as well as a mounted waterproof brochure holder. The brochure holder can hold up to 100 brochures allowing the tour materials to be available to the public on evenings and weekends. Sidewalk markers, made of a fade resistant thermoplastic material, were imbedded into the sidewalk adjacent to the historical property displaying the Walking Tour logo allowing for a visual reminder for each property. Citizens walking through downtown Meridian will see these sidewalk markers and know they are at a location of historical significance, The project was further promoted through a continued funding partnership with MDC. MDC funded field trips for all of Meridian's Third Grade students to attend the Walking Tour during the 2014-2015 school year. Our hope and intent is this funding partnership continues into future budget years to allow all of Meridian's students the opportunity to engage with their history by walking the tour and interacting with City staff and leadership. The second phase of the tour, documenting eleven new sites, is under construction now and is scheduled to launch in May of 2015.

In a few months, you'll be able to look up historic downtown Meridian sites and current businesses in an app on your phone or tablet. Josh Evarts with the Meridian Historical Preservation Commission Is working with local high schooler Nic Herman to develop a digital walking tour with an app called TourBuddy. So far, there are 22 destination stops in downtown Meridian that will be programmed into the app, Evarts said. The app will use the GPS on your phone or device to let you know how close you are to a destination. Each stop will have its own profile on the app featuring things like historical background, current information, videos and pictures from the past and present. The city of Meridian already has a historic walking tour. In fact, every Meridian third -grader takes this tour during the school year. The teachers and students carry books around during the tour with information about the historic sites. The new app will give teachers, students and other visitors a pool of information and Interactive materials, all gathered In one place, "We're pretty excited about it," Evarts said. "It's kind of a neat way to jump into the digital age with an easy-to-use platform," Evarts and Herman are working with local historian Lila Hill to gather content for the app, and they have turned to the unBound Meridian Library branch for information on what technology and apps are available. Herman, who attends Cole Valley Christian High School, is working on this for his senior project. He researched seven possible platforms and found TourBuddy to be the best choice, The Initial start-up and first-year cost for the app will be $3,500, which the Historical Preservation Commission has already approved. Evarts said the goal is to partner with the Downtown Business Association and have downtown businesses cover the ongoing $1,000 annual cost for the app. In turn, businesses would have another platform to promote themselves, provide coupons to customers and post links to their Yelp reviews, Evarts said. Being a reporter, 1 would like to see links to news articles also included in the information about each destination stop. The Meridian Press, for example, covered the demolition of the historic McFadden building two years ago, and It would be cool for people to be able to access that article and those photos while they're talking the walking tour. Meridian City Council members expressed excitement about the new app during Tuesday's meeting. Councilman Ty Palmer said he came prepared to ask tough questions, but Evarts and Herman answered them all, and he was impressed with the plan. Councilman Joe Borton said he loves the idea. Councilwoman Genesis Milam said she has a third-grade student and is excited to learn how to use the app as a parent -volunteer on the walking tour. Evarts said the pilot version of the digital walking tour should be ready next month, and he's planning to launch the first walking tour party on Jan. 21. Herman will train third-grade teachers on how to use the app In the spring. Evarts wants to hold another party in May at the Vault, his event center, to train people how to use the app and then take a walking tour. When the new app is available, you'll be able to find it in the iPhone or Android app store.
