6. PRQGl2AMMATIC CRITERTA QUESTIONS:
Describe how this praject meets the S progrun:matic questions in the scoring criteria for this projeet type, �t�hether it i.s a
structural survey, nationa! register nnmtnativn or• local designati�n, �rchaeolo�ic�l surve��, preservatinn,�rlarrning, or
infarmatian �Bc education.
Structural Survev
1. Does the survev involve an area experieneing ar expecting increased development pressure?
Summerville is a#'airly stable, built-out nei�hborhoad, but has been the facus of some development pressure due to its
cllaraeter, laeatian and arnenities. Summerville is a relatively campact, walkabie neighborhaad, is located in close
proximity ta major employment centers and dawntawn Au,gusta and includes a variety of ho�sing types and styles. On
occasioty in the past individua] historic resaurces have been dernolished and replaced with higher density sin�le-family
and rnulti-farnily development. Augusta State University, located in ihe heart of the neighborhaod, is experiencing growth
in �nrallmevt and facilities that has impacted the neighborhood.
2. Does the prc�ject area lack an existing survey or does its existing survey document less thsn 54% of the totgl
potential sun�eyed properties?
The existing survey documenis only about 10°l0 of the 1,500 prdperties in the Summerville historic district. The survey
done in cc►njunction with khe National Register nomination is 30 years old, includes only representative examples of
Page 3 af 7
historic resources in the district anc3 does not document surveyed resources ta an acceptable le�el of detail. A windshield
survey, campleted in 1993 in conjunetion with the designation of Summerville as a local historic district, resulted in the
classification of each property as contributing, nan-contributing or vacant. Na written documentation was compiled on
individual praperties and no ph4tographs were taken as part of the windshield survey.
3. Will the survey be foflowed b�+ a district, multiple property ar thematic National Register nominafion?
The Summerville Historic Districx is a National Register distnet. It is alsa a designated loca3 historic district. The survey
results will be used ta update the Nationa] Register documentation an the district and will be heIpful to the Augusta
Histaric Preservatzon Commission in carrying out design review responsibilities.
4. Will the survey be used for planning purposes or ather preservation activities (designation, land use
planning, Main Street, etc.)?
The survey dacumentation will be used in a number of ways. Summerville property owners can incorporate survey
informaiion into applications Cor rehabilitation tax credits and / or preferential praperty tax assessrneni prograrns. The
inforrnation will be useful to the Augusta Historic Preservation Cammission in campleting design review activities under
tl�e City's historic preservation ardinanee. The neighborhood association, eivie groups, realtors and okhers will use the
infonnatian i❑ proinoting neighborhood events and marketing neighborhood houses. It will alsa be useful in heritage-
education and tourism activities and prograzns. Researchers, students and historic preservation organizations will use the
information for a wide variety af purposes. It will also be used in neighborhood planning and development projects.
5. Is the survey cvunty wide, ar daes it complete a caunty wide survey?
'rhe survey is not county-wide survey and does not eomplete a county-wide survey. The survey, and subsequent phases,
wilt document approximately 1,SQ0 historic resources that have nat been fully surveyed to date. Thc survey will provide
complete information on all resources in the district, including phatographs, and will reclassify some resources that are
now more than 50 years old.
7. PCJBLIC PARTIC�PATJON;
A. Describe how the public will be involved in the project ar informed about the praject, if appGcable:
The public wlil participate in the project in a variety of ways. Summerville neighborhooc� residents will assist the

wi13 h�ve an apportunity to review and comment on the project during monthly rneetin�s of the Augusta Historic
Preservation Commission and during the two public meetings that will be held regarding the project. The first public
meeting wil] be held at the beginning of the project and the second will be he2d after the survey resulks have been drafled.
In additian, information about the project will be disseminated thraugh the Surnmerville Nei�hbarhood Assaciatian and
Historic Auguska, Lnc.
B. If imformation, such as printed, sudio/�zsual, website materials or warlcshvps/conferences are ta be produced
during this project, how many capies will be produced? �ow will they be used? How widely distributed will the
materials be? Will there be a registration fee for the workshap?
Hard capies of the survey map, the NAHRGIS forms for each praperty, and six (6} copies of the survey report will be sent
to ihe I7NR IIistoric Preservation Division. Hard copies of the s�rvey map, the NAI fonns for each praperty, and
the survey report will also be sent to the Au�usta-Richmond County Planning Commission and Historic �lugusta, Inc.
Copies af the survey report and map will be sent to the Summerville Neighborhood Association. The survey information
will be used in the ways described in response to Programmatic Criteria Question #4 in this applicatior►. No fee will be

8. PROJECT IiNPACT:
A. Does this project meet stafed preservation gaals within a local, regional ar statewide plan? Explain.
The projeci meets goals related to historie resource surveys contained in the follawing plans:
• Augusta-Richmond County Historic Preservatian Plan (199�} — "Establish procedures for ongoing
identificatior, nomrnatiort, and protectio�z of historic resources. "
• Augnsta-Richmond County Comprehensive Plan (�Q08) -- "Update arrd consolidaie local historic resouress
surveys. "
• Central Savannah River Area Regivnat Plan, 2005-2Q25 — "Need to complete historrc resources surveys. "
• Geargia State Historic Preservation Plan, 2007•20I1— "Idenlify r�nd evaluale historic resources and facilitate
disseminatio�t of information about them for plannrng attd educ�tion purposes. °
B. Why is this project needed at this time?
The projeck is needed at this time because existing documentatian on historic resources is outdated and limited to a
fraction of all the praperties in the district. This lack of information hampers a variety of preservation activities in the
district, including rehabilitation and restoration of properties, design review by the local preservation commission,
heritage tourism and educalian and research by �istarians and other interested parties.
C. Wonld the project be completeci if HP'F grant funding is not provided? Explain.
The project will not be completed without grant assistance because the city of Augusta does not have funds to support
such projects. The Historic Preservation Commission is an appointed, volunteer board that does not have a budget. The
staff of the Planning Commission donates tirne and materials in support af the Historic Preservation Commission., but
does not have funds to pay for the survey. The other agencies and organizations that otherwise suppart khis project do not
have funds to pay for the survey.
D. Would partial funding from HPD allow for a successful result? Explain.
Partial fu��ding would allow the Phase 1 survey to be completed thanks tr� the in-kind danatian of time and materials, and
limited financial support, committed to the project (see Praject Budget}.
E. Ts there demonstrated local support for this projeet from 1} the local preservation commission (reqaired); 2)
loeal citizens; 3} local historicaUpresewation organizations; 4} local government 5} others? Explain and attach
evidence of support,
Local support for the project is demonstrated by the attached letters from the following entities: The Augusta Historic
Preservation Commissian, ihe Surnmerville Neighborhood Associatian, Historic Augusta, Tnc., the City of Augusta and
the Augusta-Richmond County Planning Commission. As the letters indicate, all of these eniities wil[ donate time,
materials and I or cash to complete the project.

Dear Ms. Moore,
As Mayor of the City of Augusta, I am writing to acknawledge my support of the application for a 2011
Historic Nreservatian Fund Grant for Certified Locaf Governments in arder ta canduct a Historic
Resources Survey of Summerville Historic District.
The Summerville Historic District is an architectural significant neighborhood and is greatly admired by
residents and visitors alike. The neighborhoad not only offers a glance into the elegant lifestyle of many
prominent residents but alsq of the middle class workers who built their homes among the sCately
mansians. I realize that a complete historic resources survey is needed to inventory all of the properties
within the district so that a thorough record will exist of the conditions of the hames which have never
been completed.
t appreciate the oppartunity to apply for this grant and toak forward to compieting this project,
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Moore,
As Chair of the Augusta-Richmond Caunty Historic Preservation Commission, I am writing to express our
support af the city of Augusta's 2011 Historic Preservation Fund for Certified Lacal Governments grant
application project that will fund a historic resources survey for the Summenrille Hista�ic District. This
project will be completed in three phases over three years since there are an estimated 1,540 properties
within the district.
The SummerviMle Histaric District has never been thoroughly surveyed. The existing survey documents
only about 1d� of the 1,500 properties in the Summerville historic district. The survey done in
conjunction with the National Register nomination is 30 years old, includes only representative
examples of historic resources in the district and does not document surveyed resaurces to an
acceptable level of detail. The Augusta-Richmond Caunty Historic Preservation Cornmission strangly
believes that this survey will strengthen the protection, preservation, and revitalization efforts in the
Summerville Historic Dist�ict.
Thank you for your consideration of Augusta's grant application. We IaoR forward to working with the
city and athers during this project.
Sincerely,
