Civic Field COMMISSION CHAIR COMMENTS COMMISSIONER COMMENTS ADJOURNMENT Edmonds Historic Preservation Commission Agenda June 29, 2016 Page 1 3.1 Historic Preservation Commission Agenda Item Meeting Date: 06/29/2016 Civic Field Staff Lead: Kernen Lien Department: Planning Division Prepared By: Kernen Lien Background/History The City of Edmonds recently purchased Civic Field from the Edmonds School District and has begun the process to develop a master plan for Civic Field. Two structures exist in the master plan area that are greater than 50 years old which include the grandstands and the building that currently houses the Boys and Girls Club. It has been suggested that the historical value of the structures on the site be evaluated as part of the Civic Field Master Plan process. Staff Recommendation The Historic Preservation Commission could evaluate whether the Boys and Girls Club or the grandstands qualify for listing on the local register and make a recommendation to the City of Edmonds regarding listing either structure. If a more detailed Level II is desired, such a report should be prepared by a professional in the historic preservation field. Narrative The Civic Field Master Plan will be subject to State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) evaluation. One of the questions on the SEPA checklist is whether any structures on the site are eligible for listing in the national, state, or local preservation registers. Neither the Boys and Girls Club nor the grandstand are currently listed on any register. An assessment of the Boys and Girls Club building was included in the 2005 Historic Survey Conducted by BOLA (Attachment 1). The BOLA report noted the Boys and Girls Club building did not meet the criteria for listing on the National Register, but did note it could potentially contribute to a historic district. There is no information in the City records evaluating the historical significance of the grandstands. The Historic Preservation Commission could evaluate both the Boys and Girls Club building and the grandstand to determine whether either structure meets the criteria for listing on the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. The Washington State Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation has issued detailed guidelines for historic mitigation and documentation standards (Attachment 2). Given the level of documentation and expertise required, if a more detailed Level II Historic Mitigation Report is desired the City of Edmonds should hire a qualified professional to prepare a report.

By 1906, when the group affiliated, the Federated Boys Clubs in Boston alone had 53 member groups. The Clubs grew, especially in the 1940s in response to the needs of restless children left by working and absent parents during the during World War II. The Boys Club Federation of America became Boys Clubs of America in 1956, and the organization changed its name to Boys & Girls Clubs of America in 1990. There are currently over 3,400 clubs across the county. In Washington state most of the clubs emerged in the 1940s and 1950s in response to growing concerns about teenage delinquency. Seattle's first facility, for example, was created in response to a 1943 riot involving over 100 teens. The present day clubs are organized to serve boys and girls of a wide age group with day care and after school programs. The Edmonds Boys and Girls Club is one of two such neighborhood based facilities In Edmonds (along with the Westgate Boys & Girls Club), and one of ten in Snohomish County, which together serve over 12,500 children. The building is on a 3.03 open acre site, which was the former football field for Edmonds High School. The school fielded its frst team in November 19 09 . Organized use of the field may have declined after the 1957 relocation of the High School from the a nearby site to Holmes Comer neighborhood at 76th and 212th. The Edmonds Boys and Girls Club building, which was built as a ca. 1925 fieldhouse, was recently remodeled. The 1999 remodel project was supported by the community, with special funding from the Rotary. Dues for the club's young members remain low, with support coming from fundraising, sponsorships, grants and donations. Activities offered at the club include ads and crafts, computer use, homework help, volleyball and basketbatl, arts and music, snacks and meals. The building presently contains spaces typical in most Club facilities. On the ground floor there are offices, a small game/recreation room, computer lab, restrooms, storage and service spaces. The upper floor, accessed via a front porch and by an interior stair, includes a gym and storage spaces. A pair of exterior stairs is provided from the sidewalk to the second floor porch. The building is a large, tall, flat -roofed rectangular form with a one and two-story center back extensions and a front -gable roofed second floor entry porch on the west facades. It has stepped parapets that rise at the center of the east and west facades. It is clad in painted clapboard, some of which appears relatively new, and features a shallow cornice board trim at the roof line, T to 5' below the front parapet. Its north and south walls contain tall windows at the upper floor and smaller sized ones at the first floor, but there are few windows on the back, east fagade. The primary, west -facing front fagade is characterized by its plain appearance and symmetrical composition. An aluminum -framed entry with a door and relites is provided at the lower level, accessed via a series of shallow cast -concrete steps.

Adverse effects can range in scope from demolition, to a property leaving federal government ownership. Mitigation is used to moderate adverse a� effects by, at the very least, providing documentation of the property before it is lost or significantly altered. Typical mitigation measures include: U Limiting the magnitude of the undertaking; Modifying the undertaking through redesign, reorientation of construction on the project site, or other similar changes; Repair, rehabilitation, or restoration of an affected historic property (as opposed, for -aL instance, to demolition); Preservation and maintenance operations for involved historic properties; Documentation (drawings, photographs, histories) of buildings or structures that must be in destroyed or substantially altered; c Relocation of historic properties; and M Salvage of archaeological or architectural information and materials; and Interpretation of the property via historical markers, plaque, publication, etc. E Additional mitigation measures may include public participation activities, off -site mitigation for another historic resource, or non site -specific mitigation. For the mitigation option of documentation, the following standards have been developed. Documentation may include drawings, photographs, and histories of the buildings, structures, or resource that will be adversely affected. Since significance levels vary, the appropriate level of documentation will also vary. The highest level (Level I, see federal register Vol. 68, No. 139) is Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record (HABS/HAER) documentation, which is coordinated with the National Park Service, and submitted to the Library of Congress. This level of documentation is reserved for properties that have State and/or National significance. HABS/HAER level documentation requires coordination with Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation (DAHP) and the National Park Service Columbia Cascades System Support Office in Seattle. For properties that do not require the level of documentation provided by HABS/HAER, in Washington State there are two levels of documentation depending on the status and significance of the historic property. DAHP in conjunction with the applicant will decide what level of documentation is required. The compiled information must be submitted to DAHP for review and acceptance before any work occurs on the site of the historic resource. The final documentation will be retained by DAHP and other appropriate archives. Packet Pg. 6 3.1.b Level I Mitigation Documentation Requirements Level I documentation is the highest level of mitigation and is called Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record (NABS/HAER) level documentation. This level of documentation is reserved for properties that have State and/or National significance. This level of documentation requires coordination with Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation (DAHP) and the National Park Service Columbia Cascades System Support Office in Seattle.
