MILLS ACT AGREEMENT 95-03 - DANIEL AND ELAINE WINKELPLECK - A request to implement the use of the Mills Act to reduce property tax on the Neil D. and Emma S: Hickcox Residence and Garage, an historic landmark located at 6878 Etiwanda Avenue - APN: 227-041-09. Related file: Landmark Designation 95-02. 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. Surrounding Land Use and North - Low Density (2-4 South - Low Density (2-4 East - Low Density (2-4 West - Low Density (2-4 Zoning: dwelling units per acre); Etiwanda Specific Plan dwelling units per acre); Etiwanda Specific Plan dwelling units per acre); Etiwanda Specific Plan dwelling units per acre); Etiwanda Specific Plan General Plan Designations: Project Site - Low Density (2-4 dwelling units per acre) North Low Density (2-4 South Low Density (2-4 East Low Density (2-4 West Low Density (2-4 dwelling units per acre) dwelling units per acre) dwelling units per acre) dwelling units per acre) 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. IT~ A&B HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION LD 95-02 & MA 95-03 - DANIEL AND ELAINE WINKELPLECK September 13, 1995 Page 2 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.

The residence is an example of the bddging of the turn of the century agricultural lifestyle with inclusion of modem features such as inside bathrooms and modern electrical widng in all rooms. Finding 2: The proposed landmark is an example of a type of building which was once common but is now rare. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION LD 95-02 & MA 95-03 - DANIEL AND ELAINE WINKELPLECK September 13, 1995 Page 3 Fa~t/S: The residence and garage retain the architectural character of the Spanish Revival period, which was a predominate development type in Southern California but was truly rare in the Eftwanda Com~nunity.

Finding 4: The proposed landmark was connected with someone renowned or important or a local personality. Fact/s: The house was built by Neil and Emma Hickcox.

Fact/s: The residence is indicative of the style and modem conveniences available by the 1930s with such features as indoor plumbing and all electrical appliances that acts as a historical demarcation with the previous rural grove and farm houses.

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.
