This (PMIS 228928) project seeks to create a programmatic design and schematic plans for the adaptive reuse of the Lees Ferry and Lonely Dell Ranch National Historic District (NHD).
The Weaver Ranch House will be the centerpiece of this planning effort but will be created with the entire NHD in
mind.
The park is currently evaluating new uses for the NHD and its structures and will require a professional programmatic design and plan to move forward with any new uses.
The Park will propose a new use for the NHD by February 2018 in order to provide parameters and guidance for the cooperators in creating the plan.
The goal of this planning effort is to study new uses and associated requirements for their implementation on existing historic structures, consider available fund sources and make recommendations on the siteâ¿¿s management.
In planning for the historic district the cooperator should conduct a site visit for the purpose of documentation and analysis, ultimately leading to plans for individual structures and more holistic site planning efforts.
This plan should include a phased approach and keep in mind the relatively limited financial and staffing resources of the Park.
Ideally, this plan would include low, medium, and high use alternatives that could be implemented as the Parkâ¿¿s resources increase or decrease.
The key to a successful plan will be having adaptable structures and plans.
