Elizabeth Johnson, Development Services Department, summarized the information provided in the staff report. Ms. Johnson indicated that there had been two community workshops and that there will be three more. Staff will give the Board regular up-dates of the planning process after each Community Workshop. The next workshop will be held on March 3, 2005 which will be hosted by the Planning Board. Staff would also like the Board to consider co-hosting one of the remaining Community Workshops with the Alameda Point Advisory Committee. Melissa Gaudreau and Chris VerPlanck from Page and Turnbull gave a presentation giving a brief history of the site, and outlined the Historcal District at NAS. Mr. Plank stated that the buildings and structures within Alameda Point reflect three distinct periods of development: Pre- war, War and Post-war. Most of the Pre-war buildings were constructed during 1940-1941 of reinforced concrete in a styling typical of commercial and industrial design from the 1930's. This style is known as "Moderne". A comprehensive inventory of pre-1946 buildings and structures was done in 1992 by S.B. Woodbridge, which focused on determining whether any buildings at Alameda Point qualified for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The report concluded that while no individual building qualified for listing in the NRHP, an area in the Civic Core sub-area appeared to qualify for listing as a historic district. The identified area includes 87 buildings and structures that contribute to the area's historic significance, 35 non-contributing major buildings and many temporary or minor buildings, which do not contribute to the Historical District. Vice-Chair McPherson opened the floor for public comment. Birgitt Evans, AAPS, stated that AAPS is very interested in the 86 buildings. She encourages the Board to become involved in the planning process. She is also concerned why the Tower Bldg was not included in the 86 buildings. Richard Rutter, 2329 Santa Clara Ave., informed the Board that he once lived on the base and is also surprised that the Tower Bldg. is not included. He felt that Bldg. 400 was also worth taking another look at. He wants the Board to be cautious when approving buildings for demolition. Vice-Chair McPherson closed public comment. Elizabeth Johnson stated that at the time that the inventory was done, there was an addition to the Control Tower that has since been removed.
