stand out when the HRI list is updated.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
2. 74 N Second Street — HRI Rescission Request (Resolution/Roll Call Vote)
Public Hearing to consider the application of Linda Tsai to remove/rescind (PLN2019-
101) a Structure of Merit commonly known as the Smith House, on property located at
74 N Second Street, from the City of Campbell Historic Preservation Inventory. Staff is
recommending that this project be deemed Categorically Exempt under CEQA.
Chair Foulkes:
• Advised that this Public Hearing for Item 2 would have to be postponed due to a
lack of quorum this evening. Two Board Members, Blake and Moore, live within the
noticing boundaries (which are 500 feet for members of the HPB) for this property
and cannot participate in this hearing item and Board Member Kendall is absent.
This leaves two Commissioners, which is not a quorum (minimum required is three).
• Added that with just two available Board Members they cannot even take action to
continue consideration to a date certain thereby eliminating the need to re -advertise
and notice. Therefore, staff will produce new noticing and advertising for this item
to appear on the next HPB agenda for July 24cn
OLD BUSINESS
3. Kennedy Tract Surveys:
Final discussion on surveyed Kennedy Tract (Catalpa properties).
Planner Daniel Fama:
• Stated that staff used the summaries from the previous meetings to compile this final
summary of the Kennedy Tract.
• Advised that this document would be kept as the original record of this work.
Board Member Blake asked if she should contact property owners to get some history
from them about their homes.

Planner Daniel Fama said yes. He added that such information would represent a good
resource for the future. No action is required at this time.
Chair Foulkes clarified that this is the end of the road for this project at this time.
Planner Daniel Fama replied:
• Replied "correct."
• Added that with the adoption of the new Historic Preservation Ordinance the City
Council set a high bar for future additions to the HRI.
• Advised that given the current budget is adopted for this new fiscal year starting on
July 1st, staff may consider a budget request in 2020 when the next budget is
prepared.
• Suggested requesting sufficient funding to have data forms prepared on up to five
eligible properties with owners who are interested in consideration of being added to
the HRI.
Chair Foulkes said that homeowners will have to agree.

it should be completed by 3 p.m. However, some areas may be blocked off for safety
reasons.
Board Member Blake:
• Reported that the new paint colors at The Courtyard look great and make the roof
tile really stand out.

going well. The installer is doing a nice job.
