SOLUTION TO THE ‘FLANDERS CONUNDRUM:’ Request for Proposals for the Curatorship of the Flanders Mansion, Mission Trail Nature Preserve

In the meantime, Burnett said he remains open to any solution to the Flanders conundrum that involves getting the house occupied by a family and divesting the city of the financial burden it presents.

… if someone comes forward with an offer for some other sort of arrangement that is a good financial deal for the city and puts this in the hands of a single family, I would of course bring that to council.”

“And legally, we have to bring it to council if we receive an offer.”

Source: Next vote on Flanders delayed another year, MARY SCHLEY, The Carmel Pine Cone, September 21, 2012

Accordingly, Mayor Jason Burnett and City Council Members Victoria Beach, Steve Hillyard, Ken Talmage and Carrie Theis should convene to discuss a model Resident Curatorship Program, namely the Maryland Resident Curatorship Program, which offers “Curators the right to lifetime tenancy in an historic property in exchange for restoring it, maintaining it in good condition, and periodically sharing it with the public” in the context of the Flanders Mansion Property. 

BACKGROUND: The State of Maryland’s Resident Curatorship Program (“pioneered” in 1982) provides information for interested parties concerning the application process. Specifically, a Request for Proposals for the Curatorship of a Historic Residence, includes sections entitled PURPOSE, PREPARING PROPOSALS (Cover Letter, Resume, Financial Disclosure Statement, Schedule of Restoration), WHAT ARE HISTORIC PRESERVATON STANDARDS? The Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, SUBMITTING PROPOSALS, Resident-Curatorship Program FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS and HISTORIC RESIDENCE & PROPERY Description and History. As an example, the Request for Proposals for the Curatorship of The Grove Farm, Grove Farm Wildlife Management Area, Earleville, Cecil County, Maryland, is embedded below.  Personal Financial Statement and Curatorship Agreement (Sample) are also embedded below.

CURATORSHIP AGREEMENT (SAMPLE)

In addition, The Maryland Resident Curatorship Program has Selection Procedures and Criteria. Specifically, the review panel’s selection is made after carefully assessing and ranking each applicant’s proposal, based on the following criteria:

• Detailed written description of the planned renovations and the cost estimate (Schedule of Restoration).
• Financial ability to complete the proposed work.
• Experience of the curator(s) or their contractor with historic preservation, as detailed in the resume.
• The appropriateness of the restoration plan and its adherence to historic preservation standards.
• How well the proposal or the proposed use of the facility fits into the mission of the park and of DNR.

CONCLUSION 

Since “The highest priority is to move this to a single-family residence and to do so quickly,” according to Mayor Jason Burnett, the most straightforward path is for the City to issue a Request for Proposals for the Curatorship of the Flanders Mansion, Mission Trail Nature Preserve, especially given the fact that an interested party contacted then-Councilman Burnett stating that they were “ready to prepare a proposal to restore and maintain the property under such a curatorship arrangement” in January 2012. To which then-Councilman Burnett responded: “I don't think an unsolicited proposal would be helpful right now while we are in the process of seeking reconsideration. Let's talk after that has been decided.”

Historic Context Statement

ABSTRACT: The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea's Historic Context Statement is uploaded. A historic context statement is a technical document containing specific sections mandated by the Secretary of the Interior in National Register Bulletin 16. The Bulletin defines a historic context as “a body of information about historic properties organized by theme, place, and time.”
Historic context is linked with tangible historic resources through the concept of property type. A property type is a “grouping of individual properties based on shared physical or associative characteristics.”

"Preservation Sage:" Enid T. Sales

To read a lively and informative interview with the California Preservation Foundation “2006 Preservationist of the Year,” Enid T. Sales, click on the title above.

The interview, “Conversations with a Preservation Sage: Enid T. Sales,” appears in Western Preservation News, August/September 2006, pages 3-5. (http://www.nationaltrust.org/western/newsletters/wro-0806.pdf)

Highlights include:

“That award is CPF’s most prestigious and honors lifetime achievement and exceptional contributions of statewide importance in the field of historic preservation.”

“Enid Sales is a model of pluck, energy, and indomitable spirit. In a career spanning some 43 years of preservation activity, Enid has worked her way through the historic preservation menu, from soup to nuts.”

“We managed to save some 350 buildings, most of which had been slated for clearance. I think the most impressive thing we ever did was move 13 two-story Victorians from one neighborhood to another in the middle of the night to form part of a new neighborhood community.”

“I'm a preservationist.”

“When I got to Carmel in 1986, Clint Eastwood had just been elected Mayor and the first thing he wanted to do was tear down "that old heap" – The Flander’s Mansion! I couldn't believe it. Kent Seavy helped me put it on the National Register, which we could do because the City owned the building so that meant that, as taxpayers, we did too…The survey took from 1989 until 1996 to complete: by which point we’d surveyed some 2,000 buildings, 400 of which we felt were significant on the local level, and we had thirty volunteers, all of them still active.”

“Well, ultimately [in Carmel] I ran into something I had never quite come face to face with before: militant politics! It was largely because of Silicon Valley and the homecoming of a Carmel girl who had spent some thirty years with the CIA who knew how to become Mayor, and did [Sue McCloud, Carmel Mayor 2000 - present].”

“We have been trying to save this fragile community, but unfortunately we really haven't succeeded...Our main street is still here so now we would like to try to save it.”

“AMAP or The Alliance of Monterey Area Preservationists is an innovative organization and potentially one of the most effective preservation methods those of us who live in this very diverse Peninsula have ever experienced.”

“It is difficult to pinpoint the origin of threats to preservation, but threats certainly seem to be building in California.”
