Findings:

Pre- Application meetings are so preliminary that it is difficult to know what direction the project will take. HPO efforts will always pursue the preservation of the resource while the applicant is informed of process and other potential such as incentives.

Information:

The HPO is being brought in earlier into initial reviews of proposed projects. A greater opportunity to effect projects should have a positive heritage preservation result. PAMs also provide for correcting submitted applications early, regarding application section "Property Information", which is almost never filled out correctly, and has 4 items to check which are heritage preservation specific (historic district, 50 years +, pre WWII housing, undeveloped land). It is HPOs sincere hope that early intervention will influence the direction of a project or at a minimum provide for improved Cultural Resource Reports that return to the public the lost value of the resource. Interface with other divisions of the Flagstaff Team have improved significantly.
