HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2005-09-01 | 5 | 5. CA05-0021, 1705 Eagle Avenue, Applicant: Gregory & Anna Sanford (EP). The applicant requests a Certificate of Approval for the removal of a Coast Live Oak tree (Quercus Agrifolia) that was located on the property. The tree was promoting hazardous conditions due to its proximity to utility wires and the roof of the building at 1705 Eagle Avenue. The site is located at 1705 Eagle Avenue, within an R-2, Two Family Residence Zoning District. Ms. Pudell presented staff report. A large Coast Live Oak tree that was located between the property line and the back of the sidewalk in front of 1707 Eagle Avenue was removed in late July 2005. According to the applicant, the tree posed a hazard to the house and the utility lines. It is unclear whether the applicant knew the tree was located on City property. Given that this tree was not removed from the applicant's property, staff is recommending that fees, equal to the cost of two replacement trees be collected from the Recreation and Parks Department. Staff recommends approval of CA05-0021, with conditions as stated in draft Resolution. Vice-Chair Miller opened the public hearing. John Miller, 812 Paru St., stated that the current Ordinance should be rewritten. There should be penalties imposed when an Oak tree is removed without a permit. Greg Sanford, applicant, informed the Board that he did have permission from the adjacent property owner. He was not aware that Oak trees were protected. Vice-Chair Miller closed the public hearing.

The signs, completed in 1891, were cast into the concrete to mark the locations of the train station waiting rooms. These sites are located in the sidewalk in front of 818 and 1706 Lincoln Avenue within the R-4 and C-1 (Neighborhood Residential and Neighborhood Business) Districts. Ms. Pudell reviewed staff report. This item is being brought to the Board at the request of Board Member Lynch at the July 7, 2005 meeting. Staff is asking the Board to review the Historical Sign checklist and evaluate each sign for inclusion on the Historic Sign List. The Board evaluated each sign and found that both signs at 818 & 1706 Lincoln Avenue were eligible for placement on the List.
