It’s about Place
• Home/Historic/Authentic/Unique Sense of Place• It’s not about creating something new, but about
amplifying and strengthening what you have • Residents want new development to reflect,
honor, and strengthen the unique sense of place that exists today, and they want affordability/authenticity protected. A placemaking strategy is needed.

![Page 23: Helper, Utah Revitalization Project](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a64cba17f8b9a824a8b494f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

![Page 24: Helper, Utah Revitalization Project](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a64cba17f8b9a824a8b494f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Basic Preservation PrinciplesDo:
• remove architectural details• add features that were never there• use T1-11 and plywood as exterior
siding• use the front portion of a commercial
building’s first floor for residential use
• sandblast to clean or remove paint from brick or stone
• use aluminum or vinyl siding• enlarge window openings or close
them off
Don’t:• maintain a largely transparent
ground floor in commercial buildings• break awnings at pilasters• repoint masonry with a softer, high-
lime content mortar, not modern mortar
• maintain a good paint job• repair rather than replace historic
window frames• put new additions on the rear• use asphalt comp shingles as
replacements for wood shingles• fit signage to the building
![Page 25: Helper, Utah Revitalization Project](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a64cba17f8b9a824a8b494f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Recommendations:
• Make available to public information about preservation and best practices, or at least show them where to access the information – websites, flyers.
• Develop simple 1-2 page pamphlets on common issues and how to deal with them.
• Provide information to owners, contractors, realtors, potential investors, developers.

Next Steps…
1) Facilitate Community wide cleanup with volunteers.
2) Have Soren Simonsen, FAIA, local architect from SLC to assist in seeking budget/fees from a landscape architect to develop professional landscape plan for Main Street and a construction budget range.
3) Develop list of potential funding partners who could assist in funding cost of plan and landscape improvements on Main Street to include lighting, trees, benches, etc. once landscape plan is complete and budget range determined.
