<br /> METRO FLOOD DIVERSION PROJECT <br /> <br />AUTHORITY WORK DIRECTIVE AWD-00051 REV-0 <br />Mickelson Levee Extension – Cultural Mitigation <br /> WORK TYPE: LERRDs <br />TO: URS DATE INITIATED: 7/28/2015 <br />PROJECT: Fargo-Moorhead Diversion Engineering Design <br />OWNER: Metro Flood Diversion Authority <br />The following additions, deletions, or revisions to the Work have been ordered and authorized: <br />OBJECTIVE: <br />Provide required cultural mitigation for five (5) impacted homes in the Fargo Oak Grove Residential Historic <br />District. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Mickelson levee extension was designed to minimize the impacts to historic structures as much as possible, <br />while taking engineering, geotechnical, economic, and other factors into consideration. The residences at 16, 18, <br />24 and 26 North Terrace North and at 724 North River Road North cannot be preserved at their current locations <br />with the selected levee extension alignment, and removal of these residences will have adverse effects on these <br />historic properties. This AWD authorizes required cultural mitigation of the impacts to these properties. <br />SCOPE: <br />1. For the four (4) homes and associated historic garages at 16, 18, 24 and 26 North Terrace North, <br />document the four houses at Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) level III, to include a sketch plan of each <br />house (and associated historic garage), large-format photographs of the exterior and interior of each house or <br />digital format photographs (per http://www.nps.gov/nr/publications/bulletins/photopolicy/index.htm), and a <br />written history of each house. HABS documentation shall be completed by individuals with previous experience in <br />HABS documentation. <br />2. Complete updates of the official North Dakota architectural site forms for all five houses, indicating <br />whether they were moved (giving new location) or demolished, including the date of such undertaking, and submit <br />these updates to the Archaeology and Historic Preservation Division of the State Historical Society of North Dakota <br />and to the Fargo Historic Preservation Commission. <br />3. Update the National Register of Historic Places nomination form for the Fargo Oak Grove Residential <br />Historic District to reflect the changes to the district resulting from the Mickelson Levee Extension Project, with <br />updates to context sections, maps and new photos as appropriate. <br />4. Prepare, fabricate, and install a permanent historical marker sign detailing the historic significance of the <br />Oak Grove Residential Historic District and have said sign installed in that neighborhood. Maps, photographs and <br />text for the sign will be reviewed by the North Dakota SHPO and the Fargo Historic Preservation Commission prior <br />to sign completion. Comply with the City of Fargo’s sign code. Coordinated placement of the sign with City staff. <br />DELIVERABLES: <br />Deliverables include: sketch plans, photographs, updated site forms, updated NRHP nomination form, and <br />historical marker sign.
