HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2007-12-06 | 3 | Chair Anderson wished to make a correction on "Members of the Historical Advisory Board," and noted that her information should reflect that she has practiced more than two years as an architect. M/S (Anderson, Miller) to accept the report. Ayes: 5; Noes: 0 Motion carries. 5. WRITTEN COMMUNICATION: None. 6. WORKSHOP: None. 7. ACTION ITEMS: 7-A. Certificate of Approval CA07-0008; Applicant: Yong Liang - 1611 Walnut Street. The applicant requests a Certificate of Approval to alter more than thirty percent (30%) of a residential structure that is listed as a historical resource on the Historic Building Study List. The proposed work includes additions to the first and second stories, the replacement of windows and doors, and the replacement of the foundation and basement. The site is located within an R-5, General Residential Zoning District. Zack Seal, Planner I, presented the staff report to the Board. Staff recommended that the replacement windows be either wood, wood-clad or fiberglass, and that they must meet the City of Alameda Residential Review Guidelines. Chair Anderson noted that the Proposal Summary indicated that the living space would be expanded by 594 square feet, and that Mr. Seal had quoted figures between 1,500-2,100 square feet. The plan indicated that both units were increasing by a total of 1,156 square feet. She would like to confirm the correct figures. Mr. Seal replied that the numbers were accurate, and that the 1,156 square feet was not the net number. He noted that the square footage included all of the floor area as part of the two-story addition; the floor area of the existing first story rear addition would have to be subtracted. The total net gain in floor area would be approximately 650 square feet. He noted that he would confirm that the numbers were accurate. Board Member lrons did not believe the Board should micromanage the paint job, and noted that the front appeared radically different than the idea of somebody burning paint on the same property. He would like clarification, but was not highly concerned about that issue. He noted that the pony wall and the section of the building below the first floor was not very tall, which he did not believe was typical for similar buildings.
