and Emma S: Hickcox Residence and Garage, an historic landmark located at 6878

BACKGROUND
Historical Significance: Built in 1931, this residence and detached garage were constructed
for Neil and Emma Hickcox. Both Nell and Emma are the children of two families of settlers
from the Etiwanda Colony. Emma's father was Dr. A. L. Shepard, who came to Etiwanda in
1882. Both of them attended the odginal wooden school house in Etiwanda. The residence
and garage were designed by Los Angeles Architect Elwood Smith and provide an
outstanding example of Spanish Revival Architecture. The structures retain almost all the
original significant architectural details and features. It is the desire of the present
owners/applicants to retain and restore the structures to the odginal architectural character.

Site Characteristics: The site is relatively fiat while drainage runs gently to the south. The
site is currently landscaped with a veritable plethora of mature trees, shrubs, and ground
cover. A single large deodar tree currently hides the front of the house from the street. The
house has a large setback from Etiwanda Avenue and the garage is located behind the
house.

ANALYSIS:
General: The residence is in very good condition with almost all significant exterior and
intedor features having been retained. The house is a two story design with both front and
rear balconies and integrated covered patio and porch features. The roof is Spanish tile and
the walls are stucco. Windows are of a casement design with unique roll up intedor screens.
All windows and doors appear to be the originals.
Landmark Designation: The subject site and structures certainly qualify for landmark
designation based upon many of the criteda from the City's Histodc Preservation Ordinance
including such significant areas as; historical, cultural, architectural, and neighborhood and
geographic setting. Details concerning these areas of significance are contained in the Facts
for Findings section. The requested designation area includes the subject lot, residence, and
garage.
Mills Act Agreement: In accordance with City policy, the owner has requested a Mills Act
Agreement. The Agreement has been drafted and reviewed and is attached for reference.
(See Exhibit C of the Agreement for the scheduled list of improvements.)
The concept of the Mills Act program is to provide an incentive for the property owner to
protect and preserve the property in order to retain its characteristics of historical significance.
This intention is encouraged through the reduction of property taxes, thus enabling the
property owner to reinvest the money saved from the reduced property tax for improvements.
The properties that enter into the agreement are to be inspected by City staff on an annual
basis to determine whether notable progress has been made in rehabilitating the property.
Staff estimates the property tax savings to the owner could be as much as $977.00 and the
reduction in tax proceeds to the City would be $38.05. The exact amounts are dependent
upon the County Assessor's property valuation based on income potential and the
capitalization rate at the time of assessment.
Environmental Assessment: The project is Categorically Exempt under Class 3.e of the
Guidelines for the Califomia Environmental Quality Act.
FACTS FOR FINDING:
A. Historical and Cultural Significance:
Finding 1'
The proposed landmark is particularly representative of an histodc pedod, type,
style, region, or way of life.
Fact/s:

production was at its peak in the Etiwanda Community and the region. The

modern electrical widng in all rooms.
Finding 2:
The proposed landmark is an example of a type of building which was once

THE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR'S REHABILITATION STANDARDS
Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a
property that requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or
site, and its environment, or to the use of a property for its originally
intended purpose.
The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure,
or site, and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or
alteration of any historical material or distinctive architectural features
should be avoided when possible.
All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of
their own time. Alterations which have no historical basis and which seek
to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.
4 o
Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the
history and development of a building, structure, or site, and its
environment.
Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship, which
characterize a building, structure, or site, shall be treated with
sensitivity.
Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced,
wherever possible.
In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the
material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other
visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features
should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by
historical, physical, or pictorial evidence, rather than on conjectural
designs or the availability of different architectural elements from other
buildings or structures.
The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the most gentle
means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage
the historic building materials shall not be undertaken.
Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and preserve archaeological
resources affected by, or -adjacent to, any acquisition, protection,
stabilization, preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, or reconstruction
project.
Contemporary design for alteration and additions to existing properties
shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy
significant historic, architectural, or cultural material and such design
is compatible with the size, scale, color, material, and character of the
property, neighborhood, or environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done
in such a manner that, if such additions or alterations were to be removed
in the future, the essential form and integrity of the structure would be
unimpaired.
Exhibit "B-l"
PROPERTY MAINTENANCE
