The Preservation plan shall contain sections including but not limited to the following: 1. an introduction that explains the purpose of the plan and a brief history of Excelsior Springs, including an overview of the preservation efforts that have taken place in the city’s history and the benefits of historic preservation in the Isley Neighborhood; 2. a review of existing historic preservation ordinances and recommendations for their future development; 3. a clear and concise articulation of the Isley Neighborhood’s long-range vision for historic preservation; 4. the goals, objectives, and implementation strategies for historic preservation; 5. a section that identifies areas that have already been surveyed and prioritizes areas for future research and survey; 6. a map showing the geographic area and contributing status of historic properties within the city limits including those that are National Register of Historic Places listed properties and any locally designated Landmarks and Historic Districts; 7. an appendix referencing relevant terms and definitions, ordinances or other legislation, policy, and survey information as appropriate. Drafts of the new Preservation Plan at approximately 30% and 70% will be required to be submitted to the SHPO for review, comment, and approval. The definitions of 30% and 70% will be determined in consultation between the consultant, the city, and the SHPO. They shall include as much visual data as is practicable to demonstrate the various recommendations, including maps, photographs, and/or other graphics. At least one month prior to submitting each version (30%, 70% & 100%) of the new Preservation Plan to SHPO, the consultant shall make a presentation to the Historic Preservation Commission with the general public invited. During these presentations, the consultant will actively solicit ideas to incorporate into the new Preservation Plan and address questions from attendees. For each presentation, the consultant shall provide adequate notice to be placed on the Historic Preservation Commission agenda, allowing the city to post notice to the public for at least two weeks. A sign-in sheet will be required to be kept and provided to the SHPO for each presentation.
