HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2008-10-02.pdf,2 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2008-10-02 | 2 | (7-A) Certificate of Approval - PLN08-0035 - 1150 Bay Street. The applicant requests a Certificate of Approval to alter more than thirty percent (30%) of the value of a historically designated residential building for the purpose of remodeling a previous addition and adding a front porch. (DV) (Continued from the meeting of September 4, 2008.) Mr. Doug Vu presented the staff report. Mr. Craig Coombs addressed the board. He reiterated the discussion from the Historical Advisory Board meeting of September 4, 2008 and that the design adheres to the Secretary of Interior's Guidelines. He also reminded the board that the project is going to restore the structure and its historical elements. Mr. Robert Mackenson addressed the board. He gave a brief history of his experience and stated that the design is in line with the requirements of the Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines. He pointed out several features in the neighborhood, such as the setbacks and the landscaping, and suggested the design of the front porch will not protrude excessively into the front yard setback relative to the other houses in the neighborhood. Mr. Christopher Buckley addressed the board. He felt that this item has gone on too long and recommended that the board make a decision. He thinks that the board should either approve the project without the front porch or deny the project. Mr. Jerry Wilkins addressed the board. He stated that this project should be approved because it will benefit the neighborhood and the City. He also pointed out that the proposed work follows the guidelines and requirements of the City of Alameda and the Secretary of the Interior. Ms. Linda McKenna addressed the board. She mentioned some of the other projects she has worked on and stated that this project will restore the house to its original design and will be beneficial for the neighborhood. She also stated that it follows the guidelines and requirements. Ms. Dee Keltner addressed the board. She reviewed the plans with the applicants and wondered why the owners h… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2008-10-02.pdf |
HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2005-08-04.pdf,7 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2005-08-04 | 7 | (Following the meeting, Staff reviewed the HAB by-laws in the City Charter Sec. 28-6.-B which states: Three (3) members shall constitute a quorum and a decision of the Board shall be determined by a majority vote of those members present at the meeting.) Staff informed the Board that the Certificate of Approval CA05-0016, for 1501 Buena Vista is approved by a majority vote. 5. Consideration of penalties for unauthorized demolition at 616 Pacific Avenue. Emily Pudell briefly reviewed staff report as presented. Ms. Pudell stated that an application for Major Design Review was approved in 2004. The description of work that was provided on application stated that the scope of work would affect a significant portion of the existing structure; however demolition of the structure was not specifically called out in the project description. The applicant felt that he had obtained all necessary permits to "dismantle" the house. Staff feels that there was a miscommunication with the applicant. Although this building was listed on the Historical Building Study List with an (H) designation, which means that it may have Historical importance because of it's age or location or similarity to other buildings done by important architects or builders, staff was unable to find any historical significance to warrant the inclusion of 616 Pacific Ave. on the list. Staff has received several letters from the neighbors opposing the 5-year stay in development. Staff is recommending waiving the 5-year stay in development with conditions stated in draft Resolution. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. Birgitt Evans, Kevin Frederick, Nancy Hird, spoke in opposition of waiving the 5-year stay in development. Bill Smith spoke on penalties of unauthorized demolition occurring in the City of Alameda. Paul Rezucha, spoke in favor of waiving the 5-year development stay. There were no more speakers. Chair Anderson opened the floor to Board discussion. Ms. Pudell informed the Board that staff is currently undergoing revisions to the Historical … | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2005-08-04.pdf |

HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2006-10-05.pdf,3 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2006-10-05 | 3 | 1. Details should be consistent with the original style of the building. 2. Rafter tails need not be exposed. However the applicant wishes to handle the gutters will be acceptable. 3. Hip roof on garage, 4. All windows that are visible from the street should be visually consistent to the original structure. Ayes: 5; Noes: 0; Absent: 0; Motion carries. Mr. Garrison stated the Board's suggestions will be presented to the owner and if the owner agrees he will incorporate their suggestions into the final design. 2. Certificate of Approval - CA06-0030 - Grand Marina - Corner of Grand Street and Fortman Way contained within Tract 7723 - Applicant: David Day for Warmington Homes, California. The applicant requests a Certificate of Approval for 100% demolition of eight existing pre-1942 accessory buildings. The site is located within an M-2, General Industrial (Manufacturing) District. Chair Anderson would like to recuse herself from this item due to a conflict of interest with her employer. Simone Wolter, Planner I, presented the staff report. Ms. Wolter informed the Board that the 3.51-acre site of the proposed demolition is part of a larger 8.36-acre area that would be covered by a new Master Plan encompassing the entirety of the Grand Marina facility. The review of city records shows that only two out of eight structures have obtained building permits. It is reasonable to assume that all buildings were constructed prior to 1942. During a site visit to the property, staff noted that the structures at 2041-2051 Grand Street are severely dilapidated and other than 2051 Grand Street, none of the structures appeared to be in active use. Staff has determined that these structures lack integrity and would not qualify for local, state or national registers. Staff is recommending approval of Certificate of Approval CA06-0030, for the demolition of eight existing pre-1942 accessory buildings located at Grand Marina, Tract 7723. Vice-Chair Miller opened the public hearing. Andy McKinley, 2219 Grand St., spoke in favor of projec… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2006-10-05.pdf |
HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2005-04-07.pdf,4 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2005-04-07 | 4 | 1. Mr. Lynch's concern with the issuance of the grading permit does not fall under the prevue of the Historical Advisory Board. 2. To resolve Mr. Lynch's concern regarding the size of the trunk diameters of the replacement trees, the Board can extend the landscaping maintenance agreement to five years and require the replacement tree to be larger than 10" diameter. 3. His issue with staff's decision that this project is exempt from CEQA guidelines do not fall under the prevue of this Board and should be addressed during the design review process. 4. According to city records, the Certificate of Approval CA01-08 was valid on the day the tree was removed. The Board approved the request with the condition that two new oak trees be planted on the property. The Board also required the submittal of a landscaping plan for review and approval when new construction is proposed. The current owners have submitted a proposal to construct a single-family residence on the site. A landscaping plan for the planning of two new Oak trees has been prepared in conformance with Resolution HAB-01- 08. The plans for the new construction are currently under review by Design Review staff. Conditions of approval for the Design Review will require protection of the existing trees per the arborist and landscape architect's recommendations, as well as the recordation of a Landscape Maintenance Agreement to ensure maintenance of the oak trees on the property. Staff understands that Mr. Lynch has enjoyed living next to a vacant lot, but the owner is entitled to develop his lot. Ms. Altschuler advised the Board that the decision before this Board tonight is to approve the location of the replacement trees as stated in the Landscaping Maintenance plan. Board member Tilos opened the floor to Board discussion. Board member Miller is in favor of extending the Landscaping Plan to 5 years. He is also in favor of requiring the replacement trees to be bigger than a 10" diameter. The Certified Arborist, Chris Bowen was present. He suggested that the rep… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2005-04-07.pdf |

HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2011-12-01.pdf,5 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2011-12-01 | 5 | 1942 properties considered for demolition could then be added to the study list. Also, accessory buildings issue are also challenging to resolve, the need to save water towers and carriage houses, but not other utility buildings that are not worthy of preservation. He also noted that the interior alteration purview issue was mostly in error. However, he is open to allow owners to voluntarily allow interior purview if the Board felt that it was warranted. Board member Hoffman and Rauk support that the owner should have to support interior purview. Board member Lynch was ambivalent towards interior purview, but would believe that some persons would find the interior purview an honor. Ms. Kavanaugh-Lynch noted that landmark status, including items of significance would run with the land, not with the individual property owner. Board members discussed items noted by the AAPS presentation, including; a. Relocation of structures on and off of lots and/or on other places in the lot. b. Findings should be added for actions of the Board. C. Offer Building Official the ability to allow a limited emergent demolition as part of the policy discussion. d. Consider the Historic Preservation Permit - zoning and potential conflict between purview of the Planning Board. Could add findings to allow certain examples where a restoration of a monument would be allowed to exceed development standards. e. Trees. Board noted that trees that are noted in the municipal code are protected, however not clear as to which Board would be best for this work or if it could be done by staff. There was also some discussion that the document should be reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office early in the process. This discussion item was continued by the Board members to the February meeting. 7-F 2012 Historical Advisory Board Meeting Schedule - The Historical Advisory Board will consider and approve the Historical Advisory Board meeting schedule for 2012.

HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2005-08-04.pdf,3 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2005-08-04 | 3 | 2. CA05-0010, 1815 Sherman Street, Applicant: Jules Garabaldi. The applicant is requesting a Certificate of Approval to alter more than thirty percent (30%) of the historic structure, located at the above address, for the purposes of remodeling the existing single-family dwelling. The site is located at 1815 Sherman Street, within an R-2, Two Family Residence Zoning District. (EP) (re-hearing from 7-7-05 mtg.) Ms. Pudell, Planner II, briefly reviewed the staff report as presented. On July 7, 2005 the HAB denied this application, in part, because they did not like the design of the new construction. Per the City Attorney Office, the Historical Advisory Board does not have purview over the design of new construction; however, the Board may provide their comments to staff to consider during the Design Review approval process. Ms. Pudell informed the Board that the original plans have been revised to maintain the first fifteen feet of the building. Although this structure does have some local significance, it does not warrant its inclusion on the State Historic Research Inventory. Staff recommends approval of the Certificate of Approval for the partial demolition of a single family residence located at 1815 Sherman St. with conditions as stated in the draft Resolution. Chair Anderson opened the Pubic Hearing. Jeff Hamon, contractor, informed the Board that the design has been revised according to the comments made at the July hearing. Christopher Buckley - AAPS, spoke in favor of the revised design. He stated that AAPS would like to submit comments during the design review process. There were no speakers opposing this project. Chair Anderson opened the floor to Board discussion. Board Member Lynch stated that it is important for this Board to see what is being proposed in order to make an informative decision whether the historical character of the building will be altered, and the new development will be harmonious with existing buildings and neighborhoods. Board Member Miller stated that he understands that design … | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2005-08-04.pdf |
HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2005-11-03.pdf,2 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2005-11-03 | 2 | 2. Certificate of Approval, 500 Central Avenue, Applicant: Tony Wong. The applicant is requesting a Certificate of Approval for the unauthorized removal of more than thirty percent (30%) of the value of the historic structure, located at the above address. According to AMC Section 13-21, removal of more than 30% of the value of the structure, is defined as demolition. Without prior approval of a Certificate of Approval, the property is subject to a five year stay in the issuance of any building or construction-related permit. The site is located at 500 Central Ave. within the R-5, General Residential Zoning District. (Applicant is requesting this item be continued to the December 1, 2005 mtg). Ms. Eliason informed the Board that the applicant has requested a continuance to the December 1, 2005 meeting. Mr. Wong is currently working with Staff to develop a compliance plan to resolve the outstanding historic preservation issues that are associated with this site. Board Member Lynch fears the structure will continue to deteriorate if left untouched for another month. Ms. Eliason advised the Board that staff is currently working with the applicant to stabilize the building to prevent any further deterioration M/S (Miller, Anderson) to continue this item to the December 1, 2005 meeting. 4-0-1. Ayes: 4; Noes: 0; Absent: 1; (Tilos). Motion carries. REPORTS: 3. Historical Advisory Board's consideration of whether to recommend to the City Council that it designate the structure at 2320 Lincoln Avenue as a Historical Monument. (EP). Emily Pudell presented the staff report. This item is before the Board at the request of Board Member Lynch. In 2003 a historical evaluation of 2320 & 2322 Lincoln Avenue was performed by the Architectural Resources Group (ARG). The report concluded that neither building maintains all aspects of integrity as set forth by the National Register of Historic Places. In addition, this property has also been evaluated in the New Alameda Free Library Project Property Acquisition for Parking EIR, and r… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2005-11-03.pdf |
HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2005-04-07.pdf,3 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2005-04-07 | 3 | 2. Review of the Landscaping Plan for planting two Coast Live Oak trees (Quercus agrifolia) on the vacant property at 301 Spruce Street. The submittal of a Landscaping Plan (as part of new development proposals on the site) was required as a Condition of Approval by the Historical Advisory Board under Resolution HAB 01-08, which approved the removal of one Coast Live Oak tree in 2001, The site is located within an R-4 Neighborhood Residential District. Ms. Altschuler gave a brief history of the project. In 1988, the previous owner damaged an Oak tree through extensive trimming. The owners were required to preserve the tree despite it being severely pruned. In 2001 the tree showed signs of deteriorating health, and the Board approved a new owner's request to remove the damaged tree in order to allow a proposed residential development, with the condition that two new oak trees be planted on the property. The Board also required the submittal of a landscaping plan for review and approval by the Board when new construction is proposed on the site. The Board's approval was subsequently appealed to the City Council, where the Board's decision was upheld upon the Council's finding that there was no merit to the appeal. The applicants have secured the services of a Landscape Architect as required by the Board in 2001 to prepare a landscaping plan and recommendations for the location of the two new trees. The applicants have also secured services of a certified arborist who has provided recommendations for protecting the existing trees during construction. Board member Tilos opened the floor for public comment. Patrick Lynch, 305 Spruce St., spoke in opposition of this project. He has several issues with this application. He stated that the Board should be aware that the conditions contained in CA-01-08 have not been complied with and his requests to the City for enforcement have been ignored. In 2002 a grading permit was issued for the development project at the site without requiring replacement trees. He is concerned w… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2005-04-07.pdf |
HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2015-05-07.pdf,2 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2015-05-07 | 2 | 2014, Satisfies Environmental Review for this Action Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Mr. Eric Fonstein, Economic Development Manager, gave a presentation. He introduced consultants Mr. Pierluigi Serraino and Mr. Lorenzo Apicella to give a presentation on the selection of a paint palette. During the presentation, Mr. Serraino passed out samples of the paint color schemes proposed for the hangar buildings. He explained how each color would be used for certain parts of the buildings. Chair Owens asked how his team included the public in the color selection process. Mr. Fonstein replied that there were several focus group meetings with the current business tenants in the historic district. Mr. Serraino added that the feedback from the public outreach led to the selection of colors that respected the history of the buildings while providing opportunities to highlight their unique features. Chair Owens asked if these color guidelines would also be used in the residential subarea known as the Big Whites. Mr. Fonstein said that the colors would not be brought over to residential areas because those residential buildings are unique and were historically painted white. The color palette and guidelines are for the shop and hangar areas, because those subareas are very similar in nature. Vice Chair Rauk asked staff if existing tenants were given paint samples. Mr. Fonstein replied in the affirmative, and explained that two focus groups looked at the paint colors and gave the team comments. Vice Chair Rauk said she noticed the new signage at Alameda Point. Mr. Apicella replied, saying that the proposed color schemes on the signs are meant to attract attention, and the colors on the buildings are likewise meant to attract attention to them. The colors are meant to induce effortless orientation for those at former naval air station. Mr. Serraino said that his team plans on using three base colors being used at Alameda Point. Vice Chair Rauk asked Mr. Serraino if his team was leaning towards clear or… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2015-05-07.pdf |

The applicant requests a Certificate of Approval to alter more than thirty percent (30%) of the value of three historically designated single-family homes, located at the above addresses for the purposes of remodeling and restoring the buildings. The site is located at 1530 and 1532 Ninth Street within an R-4, Neighborhood Residential Zoning District. (EP) Ms. Pudell summarized staff report. Staff is recommending approval of Certificate of Approval CA06-0009, with conditions as stated in draft resolution. Chair Anderson opened the public hearing Li-Shung Fu, Architect, spoke in favor of the Certificate of Approval. Dick Rutter, 2205 Clinton Ave., stated that the golden mean has not been properly applied. He is not in favor of approving the Certificate of Approval. Birgitt Evans, AAPS, concurs with Dick Rutter. She is not in favor of approving the Certificate of Approval. Kevin Frederick, 1287 Caroline St., is not in favor of approving the Certificate of Approval. There were no more speaker slips. Chair Anderson opened the floor to board discussion. Board Member Lynch stated that there should be more detail around the windows to match other Victorian cottages built around the same time. She would like the new siding to match the existing. She is not in favor of approving this application. Vice-Chair Miller stated that if this was a restoration, then they should restore it back to original. He stated that raising the house would drastically change the appearance of the building. He is not in favor of approving this application. Board Member Iverson is not in favor of approving the application. Chair Anderson would like all windows replacements to be wood. She agrees with the Board and is not in favor of approving this project. Ms. Woodbury requested the Board re-open the public hearing to allow Miriam Delegrange, DSD, to speak. M/S to re-open the public hearing. 4-0-1. Ayes: 4; Noes: 0; Absent: 1. Motion carries. Minu… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2006-05-04.pdf |

The applicant is requesting a Certificate of Approval to demolish more than thirty percent (30%) of a residential structure that was built prior to 1942 but is not on the Historic Building Study List. The site is located at 433 Taylor Avenue within an R-3, Garden Residential Zoning District. (DB) Dennis Brighton, Planner III presented the staff report. Staff has received two letters regarding this application, which were included in the packet. Staff is recommending approval of CA06-0031. Board member Lynch provided a page from the George Gunn book, Buildings of the Edwardian Period, which stated that the building was constructed in 1906. Chair Anderson stated that the letter from the neighbor, which was included in their packet, refers to the concerns she has with the proposed plans, and questioned why there were no plans with the packet. How can this Board review the letter and listen to her concerns without reviewing the plans? Ms. Woodbury stated that according to the City Attorney, people who attend public hearings often want to speak about a number of different things, which are outside of the Boards purview. In this case, the Board may direct staff to take this information and use it in the consideration of the Design Review. Board Member Lynch stated that she had a different recollection of the conversation with the City Attorney. The Municipal Code states that the Historical Advisory Board charge is to ensure that new construction is harmonious with the surrounding neighborhood. The Historical Advisory Board is being asked to allow this demolition, without even knowing what is being proposed. Chair Anderson stated that in order to make an intelligent decision, she would like to recommend that this item be continued until they receive more information. Ms. Woodbury stated that when there are changes to a potentially historic building, then the Board is looking at the rehabilitation to make sure it is consistent with the gu… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2006-11-02.pdf |

The site is located at 1813 St. Charles Street within an R-2, Two-Family Residence Zoning District. Emily Pudell presented the staff report. She informed the Board that this structure is not listed on the Historical Building Study List; however, it is before this Board because it was built prior to 1942. Staff found that the proposed "Colonial Revival Cottage" design of the remodeled home would be more characteristic of and compatible with the other homes in the neighborhood. Staff is recommending approval of Certificate of Approval, CA06-0002, with conditions as stated in draft Resolution. Acting Chair Tilos opened the public hearing. Chris Buckley stated that the plans are inconsistent, which has been an ongoing problem. He feels that this building has craftsman elements, not colonial revival as the staff report states. There were no more speaker slips. Acting Chair Tilos closed the public hearing. Board member Iverson does not feel that the bay window or the columns have any historic style. In response to Board member Lynch's question regarding the handrails, Ms. Pudell stated that the Major Design Review process has not been completed. A letter of incompleteness which addressed the issues which have been brought up tonight has been mailed to the applicant. Board member Lynch feels that the proposed design is an improvement. She would also like to make sure that the Oak tree will be protected as a condition of approval. Acting Chair Tilos approves of the proposed design. Ms. Eliason stated that the Board's comments will be considered in the design review process.

Certificate of Approval for structural alterations to be made as part of the rehabilitation of the Del Monte Building. Review and comment on findings regarding the consistency of the proposed alterations with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Restoration). The Del Monte Building is located at 1501 Buena Vista Avenue within the M-2 General Industrial District. (AT) Andrew Thomas, Supervising Planner, briefly reviewed staff report as presented. The applicant and building owner, Mr. Peter Wang, is requesting a Certificate of Approval for repairs and alterations to the building to facilitate adaptive reuse of the structure. The building is currently being used as a warehouse and trucking facility. Mr. Wang is proposing to modify the building to accommodate a variety of retail, commercial and office uses, consistent with the existing zoning regulations for the site and consistent with the proposed Northern Waterfront General Plan Amendment for the area. In June 2002, the HAB reviewed Mr. Wang's preliminary proposal for the renovation of the Del Monte building located at 1501 Buena Vista. At that time the HAB was very positive about the project and encouraged Mr. Wang to move forward. The current proposal differs from the 2002 proposal in that the work/live component has been eliminated from the project, a large exterior addition for a restaurant has been eliminated from the proposal, and a proposal to open up the roof for an interior "open air" passageway through the building has been eliminated. Given the extremely large size of the building and the high commercial vacancy rates currently in the Bay Area, Mr. Wang is anticipating that the building will transition from warehouse/trucking to retail/commercial/office in stages over a period of several years.

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.

The environmental effects of the proposed project were considered in the Alameda Point Environmental Impact Report. No further environmental review is required. Staff Member Tai introduced the item and historian Pierluigi Serraino, who gave a presentation on the Quonset Huts. The staff report and attachments can be found at: ttps://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=2820181&GUID=1D9089D8- 091E-4C28-93EE-1AF5B50531AB&FullText= Staff Member Tai clarified that the City is the owner of the huts and the destination site. He said they are working with a potential wine producer to operate at the site. Board Member Vella asked whether the design review would come before the HAB. Staff Member Tai said that it would go to Planning Board and not necessarily come back to HAB. Board Member Saxby asked how we address the idea of adding buildings to the Historic District and whether adding period buildings would add a sense of false historicism. Mr. Serraino said that the historic district would need interventions in the landscape in any reprogramming and the huts' existence and use throughout the base helps them fit in. Board Member Vella said that she has concerns with schemes that attach the huts to existing structures. She said she would prefer placing them in a regimented pattern similar to their use on the base in the past. She said the wide roadways make placement too near the road a concern. She said she was also concerned with preservation of the view corridors. She said preserving the structures through the move and in their new use and modifications sho… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2016-09-01.pdf |

REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 7.A. 2900 Main Street - Certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) and adoption of a Certificate of Approval for the Demolition of the Todd Shipyard Crane Andrew Thomas, Planning Services Manager, gave a brief presentation. Board member Lynch asked how much it would cost to remove the crane and who would pay for the removal. Mr. Thomas stated that the City and the Water Transportation Authority will pay for the removal of the crane. Chair Owens opened public comment. Gary McAfee, stated that the City imposed risk by putting the ferry terminal next to the crane. He asked if the City has considered removing just the crane head and placing it next to the crane; it then could be replaced after the earthquake. Mike Henneberry, resident, said that the crane and the Sawtooth building make a valuable skyline worth saving. He stated that this is an opportunity for a public- private partnership. He suggested that the City use this as an opportunity to build on the crane and reword the resolution to allow for an interested party to reconstruct the crane on site. He concluded by stating the City should not always be responsible for paying for these projects. Chair Owens closed public comment. Board member Lynch stated that she likes the idea of removing the cab and boom of the crane and placing it next to the crane. She stated she also likes the idea of using volunteers to assist with the project. Chair Owens questioned if a 45 day advertising notice was a sufficient amount of time for someone to express interest and move the crane. Board member Hoffman stated that safety is the main concern and a 90-day notice would be sufficient. He stated that advertising notice should be national. Chair Owens referred to comments made by John Cook from Circle Point stating that costs to preserve in place or relocate is over $1 million and does not include Approved Meeting Minu… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2012-07-05.pdf |

She had called Jerry Lynn of the sign company several days prior, and discussed her concerns with him. She had pointed out that the font was not the same, and she had been told that he would try to get a more similar font. Peter Yeh, Direct Sign Outlet, distributed a handout to the Board members, and pointed out that two fonts were similar to the letter forms currently on the sign. He described the noticeable differences between the two fonts, and noted that the current signage was based on the two fonts but that creative license had been taken when the sign was created.

The staff report and attachments can be found at: https://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=3516131&GUID=384FFB2B- FE18-4B2B-A87D-43ACA4AD15A4&FullText=1 Chair Piziali asked if the hedge in the plans would be artificial. Malyka Chop, applicant, said they planned to use planters for a garden curriculum and a printed fabric to be attached to chain link fence to provide a wind guard and soften the look. He said they did not want to encumber the property with something that would be hard to remove at the end of their tenancy, which is expected to be three to five years. Board Member Sanchez asked what material the ramp would be. The applicant said that they would use a durable product like redwood or pressure treated lumber. Board Member Saxby said that the ramp connecting to the rear of the building is appropriate. He suggested differentiating the new entrance by not making it match the existing windows. Board Member Sanchez agreed that the location of the ramp is correct. He said that the exposed nature of the ramp would mean any wood product would not last long. He suggested the applicant consider a metal ramp, which would also fit the aesthetic on the base. The applicant said that the metal ramps would be four times the cost of the wood. He said the short nature of the lease term means they could not justify the expense of the metal ramps. Board Member Saxby made a motion… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2018-06-07.pdf |

Staff then thanked Chair Owens and Board Member Lynch for their continued efforts to update the ordinance over the last 18 months. Chair Owens asked how the shortage of staff would affect the development and circulation of the ordinance. Board Member Lynch described the efforts of updating the ordinance and the focus on developing a comprehensive definition section and strengthening the provisions for enforcement and penalties. Chair Owens elaborated on their efforts. Chair Owens opened the public comment period. Ms. Evans, member of the AAPS, spoke in support of the ordinance and the proposed provisions for enforcement and penalties. She recommended changing the "Historic Advisory Board Fund' to "Historic Building Revolving Fund" to create a name that accurately reflects the future use of said funds. She submitted written comments and edits to staff. Chair Owens explained that the new ordinance no longer defined demolition as determined by 30% of value of the building, but rather redefined by 25% of the area of an elevation of a building. Mr. Buckley, Alameda Architectural Preservation Society (AAPS) representative, commended the development of the new ordinance. He raised concerns that the new ordinance does not contain findings required to grant demolition or alterations. He spoke to the concept of redesignating all historical monuments to historical landmarks and suggested that the ordinance explicitly call that out. He cautioned against requiring minor changes to historic buildings having to come to the HAB on the basis that such a drawn out the approval and review process may create a backlash against historic preservation and create a significant burden on staff. He advocated that the section on hazardous buildings be modified to allow the Building Official have more remedies other than si… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2009-11-05.pdf |

Board member Hoffman stated that he and Board member Jasper went to the site and they suggested that the window eyebrows should be removed. He also stated that they didn't want the pinewood, cedar or redwood would be fine. He suggested that the Board talk about the design of the railing and the back porch. Furthermore, he would like to make a decision so the property owner can move on and get this done. Chair Owens stated agreed that a decision should be made and there was a decision made, but the property changed hands and the new owner drafted new plans.

REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 7-A 2017-3847 Certificate of Approval - PLN16-0606 - 2307 Clinton Avenue - Applicant: David Kuoppamaki. Applicant requests a Certificate of Approval for a two story rear addition to an existing two story single-family residence. Although the proposed rear addition is designed to match the existing architectural features, the project requires a Certificate of Approval because it involves the removal of the existing one-story rear addition, which is equivalent to more than 30% of the value of the existing structure. The addition will continue the existing roofline to maintain the existing building height. The project also involves demolishing an existing detached garage and replacing it with a new garage with a similar design. The property is listed on the City's Historical Buildings Study List with an S designation. The property is located in the R-5 (General Residential) zoning district. The project is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 - demolition and removal of a single-family residence.

He asked how that would be addressed. Staff Member Barrera said there is a discrepancy between the City's design guidelines and the Secretary of the Interior's standards. Staff Member Tai said that in most established neighborhoods the preference seems to be to integrate the design of new construction as much as possible. Board Member Saxby said he hoped that for a more significant structure that the standard for differentiation would be upheld. He said he supports the removal of the existing addition and demolition and replacement of the existing garage. He said he … | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2017-02-02.pdf |

Chair Saxby opened the board clarifying questions. Board Member Jenn Wit asked if someone on the city staff would be tasked with keeping a list of historically relevant indigenous names, Alamedians of note, or would they just let the community bring names forward. Staff Member Tai the idea would be to let the community bring names forward. This helped get the community more involved. This board could give feedback about keeping a list though. Chair Saxby added that the Alameda Museum and places like that would have a deep knowledge of historical names. Staff Member Tai clarified no list would be destroyed, it would live on in the public record. Vice-Chair Saxby discussed some of the problems about only letting residents of the street have a say in its renaming. He wanted to find a way to let all residents of Alameda participate in the process. Staff Member Tai discussed why residents on streets that were being renamed only could decide instead of letting everyone weigh in. Changing a street name can really impact people. Board Member Alvin Lau asked about renters and how to get the information about who actually lived on the streets in question. Staff Member Tai discussed privacy laws and what information the staff could get access to. These would be questions for the City Attorney's Office.

We did a price survey a couple years age and I will e-mail it to you for comparison. 9. BOARD COMMUNICATIONS: Board Member Iron - It a big deal with the Brown Act, I am not clear on what we are allow to tell people. I will prefer to make it visual list that are really strict but in terms of weighting the impact in an applicant to be able to execute, the applicant may not understand all available methods of material; but I think it will useful if we have some example of product to help people understand and retain the historical integrity. I hope in the future I may be able to draw some diagram. Chair Anderson - My concern is that there is not a manufacture that does make wood windows like the ones in the Italian A House. Mr. Biggs - There are option on windows and the public needs to take time to educate themselves and not take only what someone is tells. Board Member lrons - The Planning Department has stronger guidelines regarding window replacements. Mr. Biggs - We try to make sure the applicant install the windows that are appropriate to the architecture. Chair Anderson - On December 13, I attended the Alameda Task Force meeting with regards to the developer process for Alameda Point. About 200 + members of the community attended, and it was well received. Another item: I visited an open house on Broadway; I was surprised that is not on the resource inventory list, this house was build in 1893, and it has so much qualification of a Victorian house. Mr. Biggs - Every property build before 1943 gets review if the owner wants to demolish 30% or more; that gets caught there. What it is less clear is, were it fit in the list of historic resource that the city has; if deserve some form of designation? We need to make sure that the list is complete and have properties that should be in it.

Chair Anderson emphasized that she did not want to see a fiberglass window next to an existing wood window. Mr. Seal noted that the conditions stated that the windows must be a visual match. Vice Chair Miller noted that cost may be a factor for the owners, and if they could accomplish the visual match with fiberglass window, he believed it would be adequate to accomplish the design aesthetic. Board Member Lynch noted that the quality of the molding of the fiberglass windows was an important factor. In response to an inquiry by Ms. Eliason regarding the number of new windows, Mr. Seal noted that there would be three replacement windows, as well as eight new windows on the addition, for a total of 11 new windows. All the windows would be placed on the side, and the rear had no windows. The following conditions would be added: 1.

Appointment of a Historical Advisory Board member to the Transportation Subcommittee. -- M/S (Lynch, Tilos) to continue this item until there is a full board. 3-0-1. Ayes: 3; Noes: 0; Absent: 1; Motion carries. 2. Certificate of Approval CA05-0024 - Applicant: Mark Haskett - 1715 Encinal Avenue. (DB). The applicant is requesting a Certificate of Approval for demolition of more than thirty percent (30%) of a residential structure built prior to 1942, located at the above address, for the purposes of remodeling the existing single-family dwelling. The site is located within an R-4, Neighborhood Residential Zoning District. Mr. Brighton presented staff report. He informed the Board that this structure is not listed on the Historical Building Study List, but was built prior to 1942, so a Certificate of Approval for demolition is required. The building consisted of several different architectural styles and had been severely altered over the years. None of the alterations appear to have improved the architectural characteristics of the structure. Mr. Brighton also stated that on February 23, 2005, the applicant had received Major Design Review approval. This application received extensive coordination with members of AAPS throughout the review process including a public meeting with the architect, neighbors, members of AAPS, and City Staff. Plans were submitted to the Planning and Building Department that incorporated the requested design alterations from the January 11, 2005 public meeting. Mr. Brighton concluded by stating that the structure did not represent the work of a master or possesses high artistic values. There are no events or persons of historical interest associated with the property. Therefore, staff recommends the Board approve the Certificate of Approval with conditions stated in draft Resolution. In response to a question from Board Member Tilos, Ms. Eliason stated that since this is a pre- 1942 structure, that is not on the study list, the Board can either approv… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2005-09-01.pdf |

The applicants request a Certificate of Approval for demolition of previous additions, including an un-reinforced masonry addition, at the rear of an existing one and two story commercial building. The demolition is part of a proposal to replace the previous additions with a new two- story rear addition. The proposed demolition exceeds 30% of the value of the structure and requires a Certificate of Approval pursuant to AMC Subsection 13-21.7. The building is listed as a Contributing Structure in the Park Street C-C, Community Commercial Zoning District. (AT) (continued from 7-7-05 mtg.) Allen Tai, Planner III, briefly reviewed staff report as presented. At the request of the Board at the last meeting staff conducted further research regarding the addition. Staff found no evidence that the addition located at the rear of 1311 Park St. was associated with any significant events in Alameda History. The appearance of the addition does not contribute to the character of the streetscape nor does it possess unique visual characteristics to be considered an important part of the Park Street Historic District. Staff recommends approval of the Certificate of Approval to demolish two additions, including an un-reinforced brick addition at the rear of the property as stated in draft Resolution.

HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2006-07-07.pdf,2 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2006-07-07 | 2 | ACTION ITEMS: (Discussion/Action) 1. CA05-0008, 1305-1311 Park Street, Applicant: Italo Calpestri for Anita Ng. The applicants request a Certificate of Approval for demolition of previous additions, including an un-reinforced masonry addition, at the rear of an existing one and two story commercial building. The demolition is part of a proposal to replace the previous additions with a new two- story rear addition. The proposed demolition exceeds 30% of the value of the structure and requires a Certificate of Approval pursuant to AMC Subsection 13-21.7. The building is listed as a Contributing Structure in the Park Street C-C, Community Commercial Zoning District. Allen Tai, Planner III, briefly reviewed staff report as presented. Mr. Tai stated that the proposed demolition is part of a project to build a new two-story addition that will replace the two existing additions at the rear of the property. No changes are proposed to the façade or sides of the main building; the historical fabric will not be disturbed. In order for these additions to be considered historical resources, they must possess and retain enough of their historic character or appearance to be recognizable as historical resources. There is no evidence that these structures exhibit any architectural or historical merit. Furthermore, these additions are incompatible with the design of the existing main building. Staff recommends that the Board approve the Certificate of Approval as stated in draft Resolution. Vice-Chair Miller opened the floor to public comment. Chris Buckley, 1017 San Antonio stated that a state historic resources inventory form was done for this property. The property as a whole including the addition is part of the Park Street National Register District. The reference period extends from the late 1800's to 1900. The brick addition does have historical significance. He stated that staff has been applying the National Register Criteria to all of the properties before the Board tonight.
