Exhibit A CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COMNUSSION MEETING OF AUGUST 14, 2002 TO: Chairperson Luna and Commissioners FROM: Carolina P. Barrera, City Clerk Historical Preservation Staff Liaison SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider the Designation of Historic Landmark #50, Located at 664 North 7th Street DATE: BACKGROUND: On October 11, 2000, Owner Sharla K. Gee submitted an Application for Landmark Designation. During the period 1988 and 1992, Management Sciences Applications, Inc. conducted an identification and evaluation of historical and architectural resources within the City. The current Project Area, 664 North 7th Street was identified as eligible for the City of Colton's Historic Properties Register and is situated adjacent to and north of the Fleming Park District. The City of Colton prepared a District Neighborhood Program, a.k.a. the Great Neighborhood Program, in 2000-2001. The Project Area is located within the City's Carnegie Center Neighborhood. DISCUSSION /ANALYSIS: The residential dwelling at 664 North 7th Street was constructed ca. 1936. It is a one-story ca. 1936, Bungalow Style with Mediterranean accents, the mature landscape architecture, and a ca. 1936, Modern/Ranch Style garage. In general the southern (front), eastern and western exterior elevations exhibit excellent integrity. The Project Area is situated one block north of Fleming Park, as well as a block west of La Cadena Drive (i.e., 8th Street). As such, all of the historical resources within and adjacent to the Project Area have contributed to the historical character and setting of this particular neighborhood. The Project Area is located within and a contributing resource of the Carnegie Center Neighborhood District. A Historical Resources Investigation was conducted by John Stephen Alexandrowicz, RPA, Archaeological Consulting Services (ACS) on April 8, 2002, and reports the site to be a significant historical resource on an individual and neighborhood/district basis and the following recommendations are made to preserve this significant resource: 1. No modifications to the design/construction elements, including elevations, roof, windows, and all other elements. Any changes in the architectural fabric of the dwelling and/or garage would compromise the historic character of this significant dwelling, as well as the architectural flavor in the remainder of the neighborhood.
