HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2006-08-03 | 2 | ACTION ITEMS: 1. Certificate of Approval - CA06-00012 - 1530 & 1532 Ninth Street. Applicant: Mohamed Elhashash. The applicant is requesting a new Certificate of Approval to alter more than thirty percent (30%) of the value of three historically designated single-family homes. The site is located at 1530 and 1532 Ninth Street within an R-4, Neighborhood Residential Zoning District. Cynthia Eliason, Supervising Planner, presented staff report. On May 4, 2006, the Historical Advisory Board acted to deny a Certificate of Approval CA06-0009. The applicant has since been working with Staff and representatives of the Alameda Architectural Preservation Society (AAPS) to revise plans to address design concerns raised at the May HAB meeting. Staff is recommending the Board approve the Certificate of Approval CA06-0012, with conditions as stated in the draft Resolution. Chair Anderson opened the public hearing. Miriam Delagrange, Project Manager, Development Services, spoke in favor of the revised design. Dick Rutter, AAPS, reviewed a letter submitted by AAPS and is in favor of approving the Certificate of Approval. Li-Sheng Fu, architect, spoke in favor of revised design. He informed the Board that he is willing to incorporate AAPS's suggestions into the plans. He informed the Board that the plans for the rear building have not changed and that all the exterior doors will match the existing doors. Chris Buckley, AAPS, spoke in favor of approving the Certificate of Approval with the conditions stated in letter submitted by AAPS. Kevin Frederick, 1287 Caroline St. spoke in opposition of the revised design. There were no further speaker slips, Chair Anderson closed the public hearing and opened the floor to Board discussion. Board Member Lynch thanked the applicant for his attempt to incorporate the Board's suggestions into the revised plan.

He asked for clarification from Board Member Lynch as to what details she is referring to. He stated that it was his understanding that design details does not fall under this Board's purview.
