STAFF REPORT
DATE: December 8, 1993
TO: Chairman and Members of the Historic Preservation Commission
FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Anthea M. Hartig, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF MILLS ACT CONTRACT 93-03 - ROBERT AND BARBARA YELLEN -
Review of a request to enter into a Mills Act Contract for the
restoration of the Goerlitz House, located at 6156 Hellman
Avenue - APN: 1062-381-08.
BACKGROUND
Husband and wife Robert and Barbara Yellen and their family have resided in
the historic Goerlitz House for the past five years. Prior to the Yellen's
ownership, the City Council approved the designation of the house as a local
landmark on September 16, 1987. The home stands as one of the most elegant
homes constructed in the Alta Loma community. Shortly after its construction
by W.C. James for the Charles Thorpe family in 1898, the house was sold to
Ernest Goerlitz. Mr. Goerlitz had retired from his position as general
manager of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York, and in the early
twentieth century at the urging of Captain Peter Demens came to sunny
California for health reasons. The single-story house, whose architectural
style borrows from both Italian Renaissance design and the Beaux Arts
tradition, was the stage for many famous entertainers such as tenor
ext.-aordinaire Caruso. Although altered slightly over the years, the house
and in particular the grounds, retain much of their historic integrity.
Upon meetings with Mr. and Mrs. Yellen and a careful review of the proposed
improvements for the property, staff finds that approving their request for a
Mills Act Contract meets the objectives of providing incentives for owners
truly interested in the long-term preservation of cultural resources.
Attached for review is the Mills Act Contract, including Exhibit HPC-1 and
Exhibit "C" therein containing the list of improvements proposed by the
Smiths. After review by the Commission, the Mills Act Contract will be
forwarded to the City Council. This item has been tentatively scheduled for
the January 19, 1994 agenda.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve, by minute action, the Yellen's
request for a Mills Act Property Agreement.

property that requires minimal alteration of the building, structure,
or site, and its environment, or to the use of a property for its
original intended purpose.

or site, and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or

create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.

the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture. and

FROM: Brad Buller, City Planner
BY: Anthea M. Hartig, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Review of Mills Act Contract 93-04 - Roy and Mina LaPerry - Review
of a request to enter into a Mills Act Contract for the restoration
of the Albert House, located at 10323 19th street - APN: 202-201-
54.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
Husband and wife, Roy and Mina LaPerry, and their family have recently
purchased the historic Henry Albert House and have begun to both live and
utilize the building's first floor as a boutique. Standing as one of the best
examples of an early twentieth-century interpretation of the popular Queen
Anne architectural style, the home of the prominent Albert Family was approved
for designation as a local landmark by the City Council February 18, 1987.
Henry Albert purchased this property in 1895 and within a few years had
constructed a small house and planted figs, olives, peaches, prunes, and
citrus. By 1906 this three-storied landmark was constructed and the Alberts
devoted their acreage entirely to citrus fruits. Two of the Alberts'
daughters lived in the home until their deaths in the 1950s and 1960s.
Upon meeting with Mr. and Mrs. LaPerry, site visits, and a careful review of
the proposed improvements for the property, staff finds that approving their
request for a Mills Act contract meets the objectives of providing incentives
for owners truly interested in the long-term preservation of cultural
resources. Attached for your review is a copy of the contract, including
Exhibit HPC-1 and Exhibit "C" therein containing the list of improvements
proposed by the Smiths. After review by the Commission, the contract will be
forwarded to the City Council and is tentatively scheduled on the January 19,
1994 agenda.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Council approve, by minute action,
the LaPerry's request for a Mills Act property agreement.

THE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR'S REHABILITATION STANDARDS
I. 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
original intended purpose.
II. 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.
III. 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.
IV. 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.
V. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship, which
characterize a building, structure, or site, shall be treated with
sensitivity.
VI. 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.
VII. The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest
means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will
damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken.
VIII. 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.
IX. 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.
X. 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'
