Staff reports: design reviews, surveys and development referrals highlighted
Summary
Historic Preservation staff reported five administrative certificates in January, highlighted the Otis Residence addition at 511 Matthew Street, recommended reducing scope at a proposed convenience-store remodel on LaPorte Avenue, and summarized survey findings for 1030 East Vine in Alta Vista.
Historic Preservation planner Yanni Jones presented the commission with a condensed monthly staff activities report that highlighted administrative actions and design-review work for January. Jones said staff issued five reports or certificates of appropriateness in the month and pointed to a notable approval for a 290-square-foot rear addition to the Otis Residence at 511 Matthew Street, a contributing property in the Laurel School historic district.
Senior planner Jim Bertolini noted development-review referrals, including a recommendation that a proposed remodel for a corner convenience store on LaPorte Avenue (the "airport store") reduce the scope to retain historic character, and previewed a conceptual development review for East Mountain that will require historic survey to determine whether two buildings on the site must be retained. Bertolini also summarized a survey at 1030 East Vine in Alta Vista that found the main house individually eligible for city landmark status while other on-site units did not individually qualify.
