Preservation.
2. The monthly meeting of the HPC will be the Second Wednesday of the month.
Additional meetings will be determined on a need basis and will be noticed as a special
meeting.
3. The HPC will operate under the direction of the Eagle Historical Museum. The
Chairperson of the Commission will work in conjunction with the Museum Manager who
will set the agenda for Commission meetings. The Museum Manager or his/her designee
will provide administrative support during commission meetings.

General Sessions
1. DESIGN REVIEW
1.1 Envisioning Infill Design
The Secretary of Interior Standards call for new construction to be differentiated but compatible. But what does that really mean? How close can
you go without running afoul of the Standard's warning against creating a false sense of history? Likewise, how, truly modern can you go and still
be compatible? There is a wide spectrum of compatibility and most communities fall someone between these two extremes. This session will
help you to find your community's place on this spectrum. It is especially useful for commissions that have few architects/designers, do not have
frequent infill applications or are struggling with infill review.
Learning Objectives
Participants will:
1. Understand how to mentally translate flat plans into 3D buildings.
2. Be aware of common pitfalls with infill designs.
3. Break down historic building design to understand what makes for appropriate infill design.
4. Begin to create your own infill philosophy.
1.2 Standards and Guidelines
This workshop gives participants an understanding of the relationship between Federal Standards and local design guidelines. Workshop leaders
will guide participants through the origin and development of a variety preservation -based review standards and guidelines. Through case
studies, participants will distinguish between the four treatments under Secretary of the Interior's Standards and understand how the treatments
work within the framework of local design guidelines. Participants will also compare the application and the inherent flexibility of the Secretary
of the Interior's Guidelines for Rehabilitation.
