Box 9203 Moscow ID 83843 Phone (208) 883-7000 Fax (208) 883-7018 Website: www.ci.moscow.id.us Hearing Impaired (208) 883-7019 November 22, 2011 Ms. Suzi Pengilly Compliance Coordinator and Deputy SHPO Assay Office State Historic Preservation Office 210 Main Street Boise, ID 83702 Subject: Historic preservation concerns at 207 N. Main Street, Moscow, Idaho 83843 Dear Ms. Pengilly: The city of Moscow may be conducting an environmental site assessment on property owned by the Helen C. Tribble Trust and Hershiel Lewis Tribble Trust located at 207 N. Main Street, Moscow, Latah County, Idaho 83843. The property is approximately 10,000/SF in size and is zoned Central Business. The site is located at latitude 46.735300 North and longitude –117.001500 West. The property can be accessed from North Main Street, which is a one-way street heading north. The site area is approximately 80 feet by 125 feet and contains a one-story building. The building is approximately 6,264/SF and was constructed in 1950 and remodeled in 1989. The front of the building (on the east side) is an asphalt-covered parking lot. The office area is located on the northeast side of the building. The shop area is located on the west side of the property and is connected to the office area. North of the site (213 North Main Street) is a medical clinic. South of the site (205 North Main Street) is Moscow Transmission Services, which was formerly known as B&W Shell. East of the site and across North Main Street is the Small Steps Daycare and the High Impact Church. West of the site is a parking lot used to store farm equipment. The city of Moscow’s contractor will conduct an environmental site assessment to determine the extent of soil, ground water and surface water contamination with past practices at the site. The site structure is currently vacant. There are no occupants residing at the site. The site is the former location of Moscow Body & Glass Shop. From 1952/1953-2010, the site was used as a body and upholstery shop. Prior to the use, the property was used as a Pontiac car dealership from at least 1950 according to the Sanborn Fire Insurance Map. The environmental site assessment will consist of surface and subsurface soil samples as well as ground water and surface water sample collection and analysis. These samples are typically collected by advancing soil borings (1 to 3 inches in diameter) using a drill rig or a direct push technology from a depth of 2 inches to the ground water table (approximately 15 feet below ground surface [bgs]). No large scale excavations are anticipated. The city of Moscow is requesting a determination letter as to whether or not there are any historic concerns the SHPO might have with regard to this site location.
