NEW BUSINESS
1. 20 Alice Ave: As part of the pre-application review, Senior Planner Cindy McCormick requested feedback from the HPB following a presentation by staff and the applicant. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing detached garage
and build an addition at the rear of the existing home. The project will come back to
the HPB once the application is ready for formal public hearings.
Staff informed the HPB that the General Plan has a land use strategy [LUT-20.1b] that is intended to ensure that the predominant neighborhood pattern is maintained.
Recently the City received an application for a home with an attached garage where
the predominant neighborhood pattern is detached garages. The project was denied
by the Community Development Director and an appeal of that decision was rejected by the Planning Commission. Ms. McCormick indicated that an analysis of the neighborhood will be needed to determine whether the applicant should develop
the property with a detached garage.
The applicant responded by stating that the property next door has an attached garage that is accessed from the alley. The applicant would also like to attach the garage to the rear of the home in order to retain a streetscape without a garage on
this narrow lot. The applicant also indicated that many of the garages on Alice
Avenue are not visible from the street. The proposed site layout is desired by the
applicant in order to place the garage next to the commercial business / parking lot next door in order to limit noise to the living spaces in the home. The applicant would also like to retain the black walnut tree on the other side of the home which limits the
buildable area of the lot.
Chair Blake acknowledged the importance of the General Plan strategy but indicated that the subject property is unique given its proximity to the commercial business next door and the ability to access the garage from the alley. Therefore, Chair Blake
supports the proposal to attach the garage. Board Member Walter indicated that
preservation of the historic home is most important and is driving the design and
placement of the garage. Therefore he also supports the attached garage. Board Member Moore also supports the attached garage and preservation of the tree. Board Member Foulkes also supports the attached garage given the commercial
adjacency.
Staff also asked the HPB to comment on the applicant’s proposal to retain the driveway off Alice Avenue even though the garage would be accessed from the alley. The HPB was supportive of retaining the driveway but asked the applicant to
consider using a Hollywood drive and to also move the access gate back further on
the lot so that the historic portion of the home can be seen from the street.

2. 386 N. Central Ave: Following a discussion of the changes that were made to this
home in 1993 (adding a second-story to the original one-story home), the HPB directed staff to schedule a future meeting to remove this home from the HRI, along with other homes that have been demolished or otherwise altered to the extent that
they no longer have historic value.
3. 166 Alice Ave: Senior Planner Cindy McCormick informed the HPB that the owner has submitted building plans to replace two existing windows with one new window on the side elevation. The existing vinyl windows to be replaced are not historic. The
HPB asked the applicant to consider using new windows that will match the
character and style of the historic home.
4. 300 N. Central Ave: Discussion tabled until July 26th meeting.
5. Meeting time: Board member Foulkes made a motion to change the regular HPB
meeting time to start at 5:00 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of each month. Board
Member Walter seconded. Motion Passed 4-0-1 (Anderson absent). OLD BUSINESS
1. Brochure: Board Members Moore and Walter described the latest draft which may
require future changes once a new Ordinance is adopted. 2. Historic Preservation Mobile application: Senior Planner Cindy McCormick
informed the HPB that the beta test of the mobile application was well received by
the City Council. Museum staff have provided comments to help improve the app.
The HPB was also asked to provide comments for improvements. 3. Historic Preservation Ordinance (Chapter 21.33): Senior Planner Cindy
McCormick provided a brief summary of the changes that will be made to the draft
ordinance following feedback from the City Council.
