According to a licensed contractor's report, the tree located in the front left side of the property is causing damage to the home. Laura Ajello, Planning staff, presented the staff report. Board member Lynch clarified with Laura Ajello that an arborist report is not needed because the tree is being removed because of its proximity to a building. Chair Owens stated that r… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2012-03-01.pdf |

The applicant requests a Certificate of approval to remove and replace historic streetlights at various locations throughout the City of Alameda. Margaret Kavanaugh-Lynch gave brief presentation. Board member Lynch asked if there are fiberglass double pendant replacements. She stated that the cost analysis does not make sense and questioned the projected longevity of the refurbished streetlights. She asked which historic streetlight the casting came from and said she would like to see the streetlight prior to deciding. Chair Owens inquired about the height of the fixtures and how many pieces each fixture was. Vice Chair Rauk asked if all the streetlights being replaced are identical to the pole. Margaret Kavanaugh-Lynch replied that all the streetlights will have the same single armed pendants and clarified that any new development would have to include the streetlights.

HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2012-03-01.pdf,4 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2012-03-01 | 4 | and installation is $4,600, with a projected life of five years; the total estimated cost for a new fiberglass replacement pole and installation is $4,000, with a projected life of 35-80 years. Juan Ulloa explained to the Board that the project is part of the comprehensive asset management program, and is funded through AMP's maintenance and Capital Improvement Plan. During Phase I, staff discovered that most of the inspected deteriorating lights and five percent of the poles inspected were leaning and could not be refurbished and no shafts are left. Board member Lynch stated a "rehabilitated" light should have last longer than five years. She said she was not ready to vote on this issue because she would like to learn more. Douglas Draeger, AGM of Engineering and Operations, explained that the five-year warranty is part of the value of the product. He said that warranty information comes from the steel welding that they had available to them at that time. Chair Owens clarified that the warranty for the fiberglass poles is from the manufacturer and the warranty for the welding is from a contractor. Vice Chair Rauk clarified with staff that the lifetime of the pole is estimated between 35- 80 years, and the piece below grade, which is the most essential is warranted for 20 years. Chair Owens opened public comment. Approved Meeting Minutes 3/1/2012 Page 4 of 6 Historical Advisory Board | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2012-03-01.pdf |
HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2012-03-01.pdf,5 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2012-03-01 | 5 | Alan Teague, Alameda Architectural Preservation Society (AAPS), stated that the lights older than 50 years are significant and have historic values. He stated that the new lights will not look like the old lights; the globe and the shape of the fixture are not the same. He stated that the idea of welding on a new base sounds better. He suggested that the Board gather more information prior to voting. Christopher Buckley, AAPS, stated he would like to review the written proposal. He requested additional information regarding the warranty of the poles. He said that the Webster Street pole is a single cast, and asked if there was an impact on a two-piece fixture like the pendant fixtures would that have an effect on the continued usability of the remainder of the fixture. He requested clarification on the fiberglass pole coating and the color specification. He stated that the proposed design should be similar to the existing design and as there are significant differences, it is impossible to conclude whether it conforms to the Secretary of Interior Standards. Chair Owens closed public comment. Chair Owens said the project does not meet standard # 6 because it is possible to repair the poles but if the cost to repair is ten times more than the cost to replace the streetlights, then replacing may be a good option. Board member Lynch said she would like more information about the streetlights and wanted to see the replica. Board member Hoffman agreed that the Board should see the replicas. He said he would like to know what the replacement figures truly cost rather than an estimate. He requested a completed cost analysis prior to making a decision. Vice Chair Rauk agrees that # 6 is clear and repairing the streetlights is an option. She requested more information prior to making a decision. Board member Jasper agreed with Board member Hoffman's statement. Chair Owens stated that there is plenty of room to weld a larger base plate along the envelope of the shroud and add a diamond pattern of 40 epoxy bolts to add stren… | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2012-03-01.pdf |
HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2012-03-01.pdf,6 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2012-03-01 | 6 | Chair Owens stated that he would have to see it side by side. Board member Lynch asked how long would staff at Alameda Municipal Power need to put some of these figures together into a new staff report. Douglas Draeger stated he would need a month in order to get the information. Chair Owens directed staff to prepare a report that addresses repair alternatives and a cost analysis showing the difference between repair and replacement. Board member Hoffman motioned to continue Item C until the next meeting. Vice Chair Rauk seconded the motion. Motion carried, 5-0; no abstentions 7-D.
