Though your property at 256 West State Street, as a non-contributing structure in the Clark Lane Historic District in Farmington, Utah does not contribute to the historical significance the district, it is within the boundaries and we are therefore obliged to notify you of th~ designation. The National Register of Historic Places is the federal government's official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. Contrary to popular belief, there are no restrictions that come with National Register listing. Public visitation rights are not required of owners. The federal and state governments will not attach restrictive covenants to the property or seek to acquire them. Property owners retain all of their rights to alter, demolish, or preserve their buildings as they see fit. Developers are not pr ohibited by National Regisetr designation either. The only restrictions and controls in a historic district are those imposed by the city as the result of City Register designation (not National Register). If you have concerns about local restrictions (to our knowledge there are none), you may wish to contact Max Forbush, the Farmington City Manager, at 451-2383. One of the primary benefits of National Register designation is simply the increase in neighborhood pride. It tends to help stablilize a neighborhood, stimulate increased owner-occupancy by making it a more distinct and desirable place to live, and generate increased property values as buildings are rehabilitated. These beneficial effects vary, of course, depending on the area and the economy at the time. Overall, however, historic district designation has produced positive results both in Utah and throughout the country. !{",Ird Ilf S l ;!:.
