OLD BUSINESS A. UPDATE ON PEARSON FILLING STATION AND GARAGE, LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF ETIWANDA AVENUE AND FOOTHILL BOULEVARD - APN: 1100-161-02 - Oral report (City Council staff report sent under separate cover previously) Mr. Brad Buller, City Planner, spoke with the Commission regarding the resu:,s of the City Council meeting. He commented that the Council continued the i `Pm for 60 days so the Planning and Engineering Departments could check additional information on the potential National Landmark status and ot` Pr options regarding the project. He stated that the Wattson Company ',A,; indicated that they are prepared to have the HABS/HAER drawings done for r'- canopy. He asked if anyone remembered if there was another concrete bui 11 i - I near the filling station. Commissioner Cooper indicated that there was a small school building ne,3 r ' that had to be removed when the aquaduct went through the area. HPC MINUTES -1- October 13, 1992 Mr. Larry Henderson, Principal Planner, stated that landmark designation does not prevent demolition of a structure, but it does require (through CEQA) a certain level of analysis be done. He further stated that if it is determined that it is not economically feasible to retain the structure, the Commission would then determine mitigations and a statement of overriding considerations for the site. Commissioner Tessier asked if the verification had come through from the insurance company stating the canopy was unsafe. Mr. Buller stated it has not and the Council did not ask for the verification. NEW BUSINESS B. ANNUAL FOUNDER'S DAY PARADE ON NOVEMBER 14, 1992 - "15 YEARS OF LIFE IN THE TRI-COMMUNITIES" - Consideration of Historic Preservation Commission Participation Mr. Henderson stated that each year the Community Services Department asks all the Commissions to consider representation at the Annual Founder's Day Parade. He commented it is up to the Commission to determine if they want to be in the parade and to decide what they want to do in the parade. The Commission discussed the parade and determined that they would not participate this year; they decided they would like to put together a study committee for next year. COMMISSION BUSINESS C. DISCUSSION OF THE ANNUAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION LETTER TO OWNERS OF LANDMARK PROPERTIES AND POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES Mr. Henderson talked about the current Historic Preservation letter that goes out to landmark owners. He stated he did not think the letter reallj accomplishes the HPC's goals as far as public outreach is concerned. He suggested putting together an annual newsletter containing information on wh,i is going on in preservation locally, nationally, etc. He explained that rt,� Commission could write articles for the newsletter and staff could compile the information, add graphics, publish and distribute it. He said staff caulA send it out to local landmark owners and it also could be available as j handout at both the counter and other City facilities. The Commission concurred that they would prefer to do an annual newsle-*-- rather than the current letter. HPC MINUTES -2- October 13, 1992 D. STATUS OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS - Oral Report Mr. Henderson updated the Commission on the Ledig House. He stated the contracts and building permits have been issued to begin the rehabilitation of the Ledig House and the construction has been started. He commented that the contractor has done construction projects in the City of Industry and other cities; the contractor will also be doing the reconstruction of the Chaffey- Garcia House, which should also begin shortly. Commissioner Arner asked about the status of the Stoebe House. Mr. Henderson stated that the Building Department and the Code Enforcement Departments have both been in contact with the owner to start clean up on at least the outside of the house. He said staff will continue to work on resolving the problems with the owners even while the house is in probate. Mr. Henderson stated the Chaffey-Garcia barn has been approved by the Planning Commission and the developer has donated the money. He commented that staff is awaiting a completed plan and the project should go out for bid shortly; the barn should be completed about the same time as the house. Mr. Henderson stated that the Main Street Houses (the Carlo and Guidera homes) are complete and have been moved to Main Street. He said they are scheduling an open house/ribbon-cutting ceremony sometime next week. Mr. Henderson commented the Lord House landscaping improvements are complete and they have a potential buyer for the house. E. PRESENTATION OF SLIDE SHOW AND RESULTS OF THE CALIFORNIA PRESERVATION FOUNDATION CONFERENCE HELD IN EUREKA, CALIFORNIA The slide show was presented. ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Henderson mentioned the California USA Route 66 Group is having a Route 66 event to commemorate the 66th anniversary of Route 66 at the Santa Monica Pier on November 15 at noon; its an all day festival, classic car show, free public concert, and displays of photos and memorabilia. Mr. Henderson announced that the 1993 California Preservation Foundation Conference will be held in Long Beach April 22-25, 1993. He stated the National Conference will be in St. Louis, Missouri, but available funding is doubtful. He also commented that money will be available for state and local conferences.

Henderson, AICP, Principal Planner BY: Steve Hayes, Associate Planner SUBJECT: REVIEW OF TENTATIVE TRACT 15531 - HIX DEVELOPMENT - A proposed 30 lot subdivision of land on the site of the H.W. Minor residence, 10304 19th Street, and the Alta Loma Egg Ranch, located on the north side of 19th Street, between Mayberry and Cartilla Avenues - APN: 1076-131-01 and 1076-141-02. Related File: Tree Removal Permit No. 92-20. ABSTRACT: The purpose of this review is to consider the historic significance of the H.W. Minor residence, located at 10304 19th Street, and all related structures associated with the Alta Loma Chicken and Egg Ranch. Currently, the site has been surveyed, but the structure's significance has not been determined. The applicant (Hix Development) is proposing to subdivide this site, which contains an egg ranch and a decaying citrus grove, into 30 lots for the future development of single family residences. The applicant is proposing to preserve the Minor residence in place on 1 of the 30 lots. All other structures (the Egg Ranch Store, the detached garage and the chicken coops) are proposed to be demolished. BACKGROUND: The H.W. Minor residence, constructed in 1929, is a single story bungalow with several low gables and wide overhanging eaves. Many modifications to this structure, including a patio enclosure and horizontal aluminum siding, have been completed over the years. A detached two-car garage, that closely emulates the architecture of the house, was constructed thereafter. It appears that a portion of the citrus grove on the property was replaced with the egg ranch sometime after 1949. Further details about the site, and any structures thereon, can be found in the attached Caltrans Evaluation form, completed in 1988 (Exhibit "C"). ANALYSIS: Although the application has yet to be deemed complete by Planning and Engineering staff, the applicant has clearly shown that they propose to preserve the Minor residence in place and remove all other structures associated with the egg ranch. In order to enhance the visibility of the residence from 19th Street, staff is encouraging the E r f"1 HPC STAFF REPORT TT 15531 - HIX DEVELOPMENT November 10, 1992 Page 2 applicant to use open perimeter fencing in front of the structure. Full width improvements to Mayberry Avenue may require a Variance for the residence since it may be located less than the 27 feet from the face of the Mayberry Avenue curb. Staff concurs with the State historians who determined that the Minor House 's architectural significance has been diminished by numerous alterations, especially by the aluminum siding and replacement of wood framed windows with aluminum sliding windows. Since the Minor family contributed to the history of the Alta Loma area, the house merits a Point of Historic Interest designation. Because many of the alterations are reversible, if the house is ever restored to its original condition, a Landmark designation could be pursued. After reviewing all preliminary conditions, staff feels that the applicant's request to preserve the residence in place is acceptable. In addition, the significance of the egg ranch and citrus grove should be documented on-site by incorporating a plaque or similar historic monument, with text subject to staff review and approval, near the intersection of 19th Street and Mayberry Avenue. RECOMMENDATION: The Historic Preservation Commission should forward a recommendation to the Planning Commission to preserve the H.W. Minor residence and to designate it as a local Point of Historic Interest. If the Commission concurs, the designation process can be initiated immediately. In addition, the Commission should forward a recommendation to the Planning Commission and City Council to remove all other structures on-site providing that mitigations, such as historic documentations and plaques, are completed prior to demolition.

Additional information or comments may be necessary based upon a more thorough analysis during the Development Review Process. I. Planning Division: A. Completeness Items - Additional information that must be submitted prior to finding the application complete: 1 . An arborist report shall be submitted that accesses the overall health and preservation potential of- all trees on the property protected by the City's Tree Preservation Ordinance. Staff will contract with an independent arborist to prepare a study consistent with the City's established guidelines. Staff will. notify you oncstan arborist has been selected to deposit estimated amount for the study. Once the study is leted to the satisfaction of staff, the arborist will be paid. 2. An acoustical analysis shall be submitted that addresses the noise generated by the future Route 30 freeway and 19th Street and measures to mitigate noise to acceptable levels (both interior and exterior) . See attached guidelines. 3. A 4-foot by 8-foot "Notice of Filing" sign shall be placed along the frontage of 19th Street per the attached Supplemental Notice Reqpirements. 4. Due to infill nature of the project an expanded notification area is required. Please provide three additional sets of typed, gushed labels for properties beyond the minimum 300 foot radius shall be submitted Eor the lots highlighted in the attached assessors parcel map Page S. Submit any correspondence from CALTRANS relative to th-3 proposal. 6. Label the future freeway right-of-way as a Lot "A" on -.'ie Tentative Tract Map. 7. Provide cross lot drainage easements across Lots > > through 15 on the Tentative Tract Map. 8. On the Grading Plan, accurately depict the amount of slope area on the rear of Lots 2 through 5. It appears that the area of 2 to 1 slope will be much greater than shown, Possibly encroaching into the required 15 foot flat issuable rear yard area. 9. Due to the infill nature of the project, 3 neighborhood Meeting shall be conducted prior to the Planning Commission meeting. This meeting will benefit the development team and staff as to the neighbors concerns associated with this project. B. Technical Issues - The following preliminary technical issues are minimum code requirements which must be satisfied before the project can be recommended for approval to the Planning Commission. It is recommended that these issues be addressed in the revised plans: 1 . Due to the potential historical significance of the Minor residence and the egg ranch, the project shall be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission prior to Planning Commission consideration. This item has been scheduled for the November 10, 1992, Historic Preservation Commission Agenda. Staff will be recommending: a> A new detached 2 car minimum garage be constructed that closely emulates the architecture of the Minor residence, to the satisfaction of the City Planner; and b) Open fencing be provided on the perimeter of Lot 30 (the Minor residence) to provide views of structure from 19th Street; and c ) Documentation of all removed structures shall be provided to the satisfaction of the City Planner prior to demolition. 2. Perimeter walls shall be setback to a minimum of 5 feet from the back of sidewalks to provide 4 landscape area sufficient for mature tree growth between the sidewal -s and walls. 3. !galls shall be setback from 19th Street a minimum of 15 feet and an average of 18 feet from the face of t ,P ultimate curb. Variations in the wall setback srr strongly encouraged. 4 . Any walls in excess of 5 feet in height require appro,.•i: of a *4;.nor Exception (City Planner approval ) or in ex-- s A - s W i of 8 feet requires a Variance (Planninq.,_Cqpaission ' approval) . Please submit the appropriate applications and fees. 5. A minimum of 15 feet of flat, usuable rear yard area is required for all lots. Verify that this can be achieved on 2, 3, 22, 23, and 26 through 30. 5. A minimum corner side yard setback of 27 feet shall be provided on all corner lots. If the Minor house is to remain in place, a Variance will be required for the setback from Mayberry Avenue. C. Design Issues - The following are preliminary design issues that are recommended to be addressed in the reversed plans: 1. The pad elevations of Lots 24 and 27 should be lowered by providing an undersidewalk drain to 19th Street. 2. In order to increase views of the historic residence from 19th Street, open fencing should be used. 3. Mature citrus trees should be selectively preserved to be sensitive to the historic significance o£ that site. II. Engineering Division: A. Completeness: 1. The project proposed to take access faow 19th Street which is a State Highway and is located adjacent to the future Route. 30 Freeway; , therefore, writtew caomsnts Errxn CALTRArIS are required, during Technfcal Faview. 2. Private, cross-lot drainage easements shall be shown on the Tentative Map. 3. Provide, a street section for 19th Street on the Conceptual Gradin; Plan. Show the perimeter wall locations on the street sfactions for Mayberry Avenue and 19th Street, similar to Section C-C. Highlight the existing sidewalk locations on the Grading Plan for the project side of 19th Street and across the street on Mayberry Avenue and Morocco Street. 4. Label 19th Street and Mayberry Avenue on the Site Utilization Map. H. Issues: 1. Sidewalks adjacent to walls shall be 5 feet wide. 2. Slopes in public maintenance areas shall be 3: 1 maximum. 3. Make Lot 31 a lettered lot for dedication to CALTRANS. 4. Offset the reduced radius turnaround proposed at the end of Morocco Street as shown in the attached sketches, to minimize disruption of the existing curb, gutter, sidewalk and drive approaches on the east side of Morocco. 5. Mayberry Avenue only needs to be widened to 36 feet of pavement (curb to curb) with a 12-foot parkway, since projected traffic does not warrant collector street standards. Reconstruct to the centerline so that a tilt section is not created. 6. The following items tend to make the hydrology report conservative. We will discuss the findings at Technical Review. a) Future SR30 right-of-way should be treated as undeveloped, since construction of that facility will not increase Elows to local streets: b) The Fin value for subarea H-1 should be single family (2-4 dwelling units per acre) not Commercial. Subareas H-3 and H-4 should both have condominium ( 4-9 dwelling units per acre) Fm values. c) Subarea Q's should be confluenced, rather than adder at nodes 54, 55, and 1251 d) Exhibit "E" uses the Mayberry/19th slope wit Cartilla/19th flow rate (page El) ; and e) The cross slope on 19th Street is 2 percent. r� CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ARCHITECTURAL INVENTORY/EVALUATION FORM MAP REFERENCE NO. 36 County-Route-Postmile: SBd 30 0.0,22.8 ( ) LISTED ( ) DETERMINED ELIGIBLE ( ) APPEARS ELIGIBLE ( x ) APPEARS INELIGIBLE IDENTIFICATION 1.Common Name: The Ranch Egg Ston 2.Historic Name: H.

Directly north of the house is an older wood frame outbuilding with beveled siding, now remodeled to serve as a Was room for eggs and convenience groceries. Behind the sales room stand the structures associated with on production, including several metal feed hoppers,a corrugated metal shed, and seven chicken houses with corrugated metal roofs. Farther north is an old wooden shed, a new (or substantially remodeled older) house on a concrete foundation, and a circular water tank on a cobblestone base which is located at the northwest comer of the property. Historic aerial photos (1930)show the house in Its present location with the garage directly behind:the south half of the property contained a citrus grove, while the north half was still bars. By 1936, the citrus grow on the north hath appeared newly planted. The improvements associated with the chicken ranch are more recent than the grow, as they still did not appear on aerial photographs of the property in 1949;the only improvements shown were the house and garage and a second house in the southwest corner at the north five acres. The remaining citrus groves.primarily lemon,occupy the property to the north and east of the chicken houses. The garage appears to have been moved to its present location northeast at the house after 1949, and the present sales room constructed upon or moved to the former garage she;this was probably done to allow constriction of the circular driveway around the house. providing a separate one-way entrance and exit for egg sales traffic. 19.111risfly stats historical and/or architectural Importance(4tchtde dates,events,and persons associated with the site): Wilbur Minor was a butcher in the Cucamonga and Alta Loma areas. According to The Histoni of Arta Loma_ Minor was associated with a market in Cucamonga as early as 1912, and drove a wagon to deliver fresh most to residents in the community. He was later associated with the 4 A. Billings Groovy in Alta Loma, renting the north half of the building for a meat market. He also continued his home mean delivery by buck.with his routs extending as far as Etiwanda and San Antonio Canyon. By 1927 he was show, as the owner of the subject property, two five-acre lots in Aka Loma;county records show a small assessment for frees Nines'which may indicate citrus acreage. The property had no structural improvements until Assessment Year 1930.when a substantial improvement was taxed, indicating that Minor built his house in 1929. The presence of the house on the lot in 1900 is confirmed by aerial phots. His association with this property an be documented until 1945,when it was Unit ad to Ivy Minor, whc was shown as the sole owner in subsequent years. The property was later sold b Millard and Rhoda Harr, he was a teacher and his wife was a nurse. Now retired,they continue b own this propsnty,but no longer live onsite. The house has been substantially altered in recent years, and no longer reteins Its hlsbrlC appearance. While the combination an ranch and c:iann grow function is naRable,it Is a modern use which developed after 1949. Although Wilbur Minor was widely known in the area, he does not appear b have made major contributions to the history or development of the community. In summary,the property does not appear to be associated with persons or events significant in the history of the local community, nor does 4 retain sufficient architectural interest to quality it for National Register elgibiflly.
