UPDATE ON THE CONDITION OF THE HISTORIC COUR HOUSE, LOCATED AT 7567 ETIWANDA AVENUE Mayuko Nakjima, Assistant Planner gave the staff report. Commissioner Fletcher asked about how the fire in the house may have started and some history about the house itself. Ms. Nakajima stated it is assumed the fire was started by vandals and she did not have the actual history of the structure with her this evening. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner reported that the history of the house is detailed in the information put out by the Etiwanda Historical Society. He said if the Commissioner desires it, staff can request the report about the fire from the Fire Department. He asked Ms. Nakajima if currently there is an abatement proceeding. Ms. Nakajima said she believed the house is structurally sound. Mr. Henderson said that because there is a tarp on the roof, it may indicate the roof is leaking and therefore unsound. He reported that staff can send a letter to the insurance company with respect to the need for specific repairs. • Commissioner Fletcher asked if we have contacted the insurance company and what was their response thus far. � 1 Ms. Nakajima said she has spoken to them and they have said they would replace the roof in kind; she said she believes it is a composition roof. Chairman Munoz asked what is being done from an enforcement perspective. • Ms. Nakajima said Code Enforcement has sent notices and made contact with the owners. She said she is currently unaware of any specific timeframes. So far the owners have secured the property. Chairman Munoz asked how the windows were secured. Ms. Nakajima said they have been boarded up. Chairman Munoz asked for a report at the next meeting giving the status of what is being done. He said the property is in shameful condition and it would appear the owner apparently does not care that it is an historic home as it is falling apart after a fire and is open to the elements. He said it appears to be neglect on the owner's part. He said we need to be proactive on this house because not long ago it was a very nice home on that corner and an icon for the area. He said the new owner may not be aware of their responsibilities. He asked if staff could request an abatement order. Mr Henderson said staff can give them the steps to take in the form of a letter, provide them a schedule from the insurance company and see what timeframes may have been given to them from Code Enforcement. Commissioner Oaxaca expressed concern about the significant fire damage and remarked that this should activate the new HPC Ordinance. He asked if staff is aware of their plans for the structure. Ms. Nakajima said the owners have said they are unsure about their plans. • Commissioner Oaxaca asked if it is on a residential size parcel or if it is part of the adjacent larger parcel. Ms. Nakajima said it is on a small parcel as there is another owner that has the larger parcel. Commissioner Fletcher asked what the roof material is. He noted that if it is shake, they would not be permitted to repair more than 10% of the existing with shake material. He said staffs letter should instruct them that the roof repair should be done before more damage occurs and that the doors and windows should be replaced and the property/site cleaned up. PUBLIC COMMENTS Luana Hernandez 6797 Hellman Avenue stated she is disappointed we let this home go. She said when there are complaints it is a shame the City is not more aggressive with the property owner. She said new historic home owners are not aware of the do's and don'ts.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Ed Dietl displayed a picture of 20 people in front of the historic gas station. He said they were volunteers that cleaned up the property. He said the community cares about Route 66 and Foothill Boulevard.
